24 mph is fast, very fast. The national championship road race averaged right around 25 mph.

I'm not a huge Fast Freddie fan but it was cool that he won it on Mad Fiber Wheels. That's a huge deal for a small company.

By the way the US Nationals are on right now: http://usacycling.thetourtracker.com/ The video is a bit troublesome...

Feel better Nate, that sounds horrible. Hope you have a good time at the parade Mike, if you're in Alexandria you should stop by and say hello.

I love my El Primero. No one knows how much it is worth this side of the pond and it let's me run under the radar.

Sorry your ride sucked Jeff. I'm glad the glasses worked well thought. The weather was glorius even with the wind. I'd love to be out but with my wife 2 days past due date I'm not going anywhere on a bike.

Looks like a good time. Vlad's BH is a beauty isn't it?

Happy belated Brent!

Picked up our new rooftop box. It is huge but that's the point.

The Reston grand prix and air force classic are a lot of fun to watch. NRC is very high level racing and a lot of fun to watch. I will see if I can come out with the family.

Jelous Brent, I'd love to watch it in person. I would personally vote road race. Here's hoping the UCI worlds actually make it to Richmond in 2015 as hoped. My wife has been open to the idea of going to Utah for the Tour of Utah or Colorado for the Pro Cycling Challenge. Either way that's not happening this year.

Happy Birthday Raffy!

Brent are you going to go and watch US Nationals? http://www.usacycling.org/2013/pro-road-time-trial-nationals

Your Navy job is way cooler than mine Nate. I spent the last two days in a room with a bunch of university professors asking a bunch of questions and being talked down to when I explained that we already looked at their great idea and it didn't work.... I also found out that senior managment here doesn't actually value managing research engineers effectively and solving problems. Therefore I am going to have to some how keep up a full or almost full research load along with helping out department wide so as to be able to make a case for getting an actual promotion not just an in-title and more responsibility promotion.

Again, awesome job Brent!

That did not come across to me. Sounded like you were saying it would not work (which it will). Your point about sound quality is a good one though because without some noise shaping the noise floor would sound like shit.

You do hear it every time you use a DSD dac.

It's one bit digital stream. All the dac is doing is making sure that you get the requisite current delivery and low pass filtering (which is equivalent to a convolution in time). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_density_modulation

Nice!

Awesome!

Great to hear that my input helped you out on getting your fit dialed in. I can't believe your shop didn't help you out with that.

Happy Birthday Chris!

Very nice!

Thanks for the feeback so far. I think we'll will plan on skipping it for now but it might be nice if we start road tripping more. I had already noticed the compression and found it annoying but it was improved after I changed the stereo settings back to normal instead of Treble +7 and Bass +7... I don't know what retarded monkey set them that way but they can DIAF. We do have to switch radio stations driving down to the lake house but it's not like Richmond is the middle of nowhwere or something and there are good stations down there.
