  3. It's not MOG, but I didn't know where to put this. 16/44 streaming/offline-capable music and music video streaming service that uses lossless (FLAC and/or ALAC... not sure, but both are mentioned). It's called Tidal Hifi. Here's the link to sign up for early access. http://www.tidalhifi.com/?lrRef=nXurAq I'm pretty happy with Spotify, but I wouldn't mind some higher quality options. Also, it seems they say that Spotify uses Ogg Vorbis 320k as their streaming method of choice. I'd not heard that it was Vorbis, but instead figured MP3. Interesting. **BRENT**

  4. Today I finished the second of two centuries of the weekend, so I'm pretty tired right now . Civil War Century was brutal with the heat and humidity in the first half, followed by a thunderstorm in the second half. Luckily I was only about two miles away from the rest stop when it started to sprinkle a bit, so my friends and I managed to get to shelter in a reasonable amount of time. We took a long break in there, between my friend who had some major cramping issues and the thunderstorm. The final 30 miles or so weren't actually too tough and was quite enjoyable since the rain cooled everything down a fair bit. All in all, the heat and humidity were the toughest factors of the ride, I don't remember ever seeing so many folks laying in the grass or stopping on the side of the road to cool down. Tour de Chocolate Town sounded like a fun ride and I heard good things about it so I signed up for it as well, thinking I'd choose which distance I'd ride on the day of, depending on how the legs felt. Well I started the ride and my legs felt fine, but it became apparent that my cardio system was really hurting, because my heart rate was not as responsive as it should be to my effort and it really didn't want to go into zone 4 or above. Given that, I figured at that point I'd just spin my way through the century and simply finish instead of trying to achieve any sort of specific finish time. That's basically what happened, with me just barely squeaking by the final rest stop at 15min before close and getting to the finish line 15 min after they closed (it would've helped if I had started earlier, rolling start began at 7am but I didn't get there and going until 8 ). That being said, the course is really nice, especially the short 17mi and 33mi options. The longer options are decent too, but I thought their rest stops simply sucked for any long distance riding. The lesser stocked rest stops had water, Gatorade, and Hershey Kisses, while their "better" stocked rest stops had water, Gatorade, Hershey Kisses, Payday bars, Honey Stinger protein bars, and a couple other junk food snacks. That might work for some, but not for me. All in all, it was a challenging weekend. Now I'm going to sleep. Civil War Century (going from a friend's strava): 105.8mi 7,956ft Tour de Chocolate Town Century: 102mi 5,982ft

  7. Long time lurker? You registered today. Also, you spammed a link that no doubt channels through your facebook for a referral code. Fuck off.

  9. Fortunately, I have no human torso, therefore headphone listening sounds identical to speaker listening for me. Except for the fact that I have to speak out of my ass, it works out quite well.

  10. As other's have said nice work Ben. A two century weekend is awesome! Sounds like both of them were an adventure. I've always wanted to do an brevet at some point. These guys do a bunch of different from 200km to 1000+km events: http://dcrand.org/dcr/ Maybe next year we should try and push the envelope. I personally would like to try for a 200km with the goal of a 300km event. That said I need more time on the bike to get my body used to it again. My "second century" was hiking around the National Zoo for 4 hours with a 40 lb baby carrier and baby combination on my back. It was not in the same league but it was some good exercise.

  12. Nice work Nate. I've been there with the cramps etc and it's no fun. I really like Nuun for keeping me from getting them. After this weekend's century I'm now trying to decide between A (18-20) and BB (16-18) groups for the coming ride. I am pretty sure I can hang with the A but I am doubting myself. Edit: Decided to play it safe and make sure I finish and do BB. I also set up a fundraising website through the American Cancer Society in Memory of Meaghan's mom: http://main.acsevents.org/goto/Chris_Kent

  14. A map of yesterday's suffering. Overall, a great ride. Wish I'd been better hydrated and not fighting off cramps for the last 50 miles but we managed a respectable pace regardless.

  16. Coming here to ask a question, then answering it yourself by posting links to another headphone forum is a shitty start. Just fyi.

  17. Thanks, Birgir. Maybe 350 V is just enough for a beginner.
