by Ken Nail The convenience of Bluetooth® and the best in radio Kenwood's KDC-BT752HD CD receiver offers a great one/two punch with Bluetooth hands-free calling that'll help you stay focused on the road, and HD Radio® reception that will keep you entertained when you're driving.

The receiver will even auto-reply to text messages to let your correspondents know that you're busy driving. And Bluetooth audio streaming connects this receiver to songs stored on your compatible music player — with no wires cluttering up your dash and console.

Plenty of other music options Connect your iPod® or iPhone® into the receiver's front-panel USB input, and start searching through your albums, artists, and playlists for your favorite tunes with the easy-to-use controls.

Kenwood KDC-BT752HD Written By jon, torrington, ct on Wednesday, March 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Great product and a great price. A lot of settings most head units don't usually have. If your in the market for a new unit this should be looked at. Great product overall no complaints!
About the stability issue Written By Ya, San Diego, CA on Wednesday, January 29, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I purchased one last year from Crutchfield. After working flawlessly for a while, a-day-long socal sunlight and heat seemed to have killed some smd inside; the head unit turned blue and purple, and showed no responses to any buttons, just as what happened to other customers. So I took the head unit off and stored it in the glove box for a few months. Then one day out of curiosity, I put the head unit back on: The receiver lives! Not sure what happened exactly. But a few days earlier, I did disconnect the car battery and pull/plug the fuses while swapping headlight bulbs. I guess that had powered off the receiver and reset the system. The feign death happened again some time later. But the reason seemed to be the head unit was not secured correctly. Pros: Greatly HD radio quality, sound quality, and ample connectivity. Cons: The QC issue (see above), while recoverable in my case, is regrettably inexcusable. Some important functions are off by default, and buried deeply in the menu system.
Worked well until... Written By Nate, Maryland on Wednesday, October 16, 2013 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Bought this less than a year ago and it worked fine for a while. Now the lights on the front are a weird pink and blue, and the unit will not turn on. Very upset that this head unit did not even last a year. Pros: Nice while it worked Cons: Does not work anymore
Disappointed in product and installation guide Written By LeeMoff, Central NJ on Saturday, August 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this radio to replace my factory install, which did not pick up stations well (I live in a fringe area). The radio had a high receptivity factor, so I hoped for improvement. When it arrived, I found that the installation guide was really inadequate in telling how to safely remove the old radio. So I signed up for the InstallCard prepaid installation. Installer did a great job, by the way. After the radio was installed, its receptivity was noticeably worse than the factory radio. To boot, the display is really difficult to read during the day, as the reflection of sunlight off the panel is far brighter than the display. Pros: Good InstallCard installation. Bluetooth interaction is nice (cellphone, Pandora, etc.) Cons: Poor FM fringe receptivity (worse than factory radio) Difficult to read display during daylight Inadequate installation guide. Crutchfield response on Monday, August 12, 2013 We forwarded this review to our Technical Support team for follow-up. Lifetime tech support comes with every Crutchfield purchase.
Kenwood KDC-BT752HD Written By Paul, Fort Belvoir, VA on Sunday, February 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Wow, what a great H/U. I'm so impressed. I've only had it in for a couple of days so I am still trying to work out all the different knobs and features. As I play with it more I wll update. So far the only thing I haven't figured out is the B/T and Pandora. It does not always connect, and the clock feature getting it to stay on constantly. Love the sound the adjustability and the look is amazing. Pros: features, look and the geek in me love this unit Cons: Pandora and B/T but they may be my phone

Kenwood KDC-BT752HD not compatible with 142CR1286B dash kit Written By Matt, Indianapolis on Friday, February 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Fast 2 day shipping was great! All products came and were in unopened perfect condition. I even ordered an open box unit which appeared to have never been opened. Unfortunately, the kit that was provided does not fit this head unit. I understand most single din head units are "standard size" but apparently not this one. I attempted to install with a Scosche 142CR1286B dash kit, but it did not fit. I too had to modify the ISO brackets, but the final trim piece that is unique for my vehicle did not fit. Crutchfield sent out another dash kit, but it was for a Jeep with navigation, which mine does not have. I figured I would hook this unit up and test it anyways before I went to a local retailer to purchase a different dash kit. It worked well unit I found that the local retails don't carry a different dash kit for my Jeep Grand Cherokee. I called Crutchfield and asked for an exchange for an Apline CDE-HD137BT. Recieved this unit 2 days later and it fit perfectly into the Scosche 142CR1286B kit. No problems and very please with new Alpine unit. I am in the process of returning this Kenwood HU now. Pros: Attractive and has great features for the price point.
Not Good for Pandora with iPhone Written By TomM, PA on Thursday, January 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) rating "Coolness Factor" rating Build Quality rating Ease of Use rating Sound Quality rating Value I bought this because I wanted Bluetooth calling, iPod connectivity, and Pandora connectivity. I've got an iPhone 3GS. Bluetooth phone works OK. People I call tell me the sound quality of my voice isn't great, but that's not a surprise considering the built-in mike. iPod works great. But with an iPhone, Pandora is a big disappointment. You can't stream via Bluetooth to the Pandora source on the receiver (this has been confirmed by Kenwood tech support) as you can only do that with a Droid (or maybe Blackberry... I"m not sure). You can stream via Bluetooth to a Bluetooth audio source on the receiver. and it sounds OK, but you don't get song titles displayed and you have no control from the receiver or steering wheel controls. Or, you plug in via USB. Then you get song titles and receiver control but you have to unplug if you want to change Pandora stations. Also, if you're out running errands and want to keep your phone with you, you're got to unplug and plug in every time you get in and out of the car. So if you have an iPhone and want to listen to Pandora a lot I recommend you try a different product. Pros: Good iPod interface Cons: Poor voice quality Poor Pandora interface for iPhone Slow to connect to phone and download contact info on startup
Fair Experience Written By JRRJR, Fairbanks, AK on Tuesday, January 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Good Price, but you get what you pay for. Sound quality is OK except for while using handsfree calling, then it is poor. Very difficult to use while driving. Pros: Inexpensive, very good looking & easy to install Cons: Poor voice quality, Difficult to use while driving
Looks Great, Haven't got component speaker working Written By Amipher, Washington, DC on Tuesday, January 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value It was easy to get the dash cover off on my 2005 Hundai Elantra GT Hatchback- instructions for all parts were pretty simple. I'd never installed one before and feel empowered :) I don't know if it's the unit or the way we did the wiring, but the two component speakers on the upper doors are not outputting any sound. At the time I thought maybe I'd ordered a 4 output unit, but now checking the specs it says it has 6. (If there's a Crutchfield tech person reading this, I'd love advice on how to get them going). Much better sound than the stock radio and way improved input features. Pros: looks really sleek with the elantra dash - blacks match - excellent - looks like it came with the car. Great deal on Refurbished. Cons: I'll have to do more research to figure out how to get the 2 small component speakers working. And take the dash apart again.
Kenwood KDC-BT752HD Written By Chris, Elmhurst, IL on Sunday, January 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Hands free built-in microphone is worthless. It has no option to plug in a microphone to get closer to the driver. It is next to impossible to disconnect the unit from your phone when you realize the other party cannot understand a word you are saying. The menus for everything are not intuitive and you can wreck your car trying to find anything on an ipod using this unit's menu. Pros: Sound is good. Cons: Everything else.
Crutchfield Tech Support ROCKS! Written By CliffP, Media, PA on Sunday, January 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Bought this head unit for my little brother's 2005 Dakota with Infinity. Got him all the bells and whistles to be able to use his steering wheel controls and to keep the built in amp. The PAC unit for the SWCs has an issue working completely with a very few 2005 Dakotas with Infinity... Go figure, my brother has one of those Dakotas... Long and short, the SWC worked, but the unit would not turn on the amp. The tech staff helped me to to trouble shoot the issue, sent me a new PAC unit, and then made arrangements to have a different SWC unit sent out with a new cable harness to bypass the amp that came with the truck, once I talked my little bro down from the "no amp" ledge. The radio works great, and sounds great, even with the stock Infinity speakers. I've bought from Crutchfield in the past, and I will definitely buy from Crutchfield again in the future. Thank you, once again. You folks ROCK! Pros: * Easy install with all the special Crutchfield goodies. * Über smart and helpful tech staff. Cons: None
Great product! But handsfree parrot not for noisy car. Written By Kraut, Sacramento CA. on Saturday, January 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Sounds great, great features for the money............everything into one good bundel. Only one problem.....My wife has a little sports car........and the sound proofing is not part of a sports car.....it's not a Lexus, or a Lincoln, it's a sports cars. Needless to say, at speed, there is alot of engine noise, and road noise.......so the Bluetooth hands free calling feature, that has a mic built into the stereo, picks up too much road noise. The call quality coming in over the speakers was great, but on the other end, too much road noise. Pros: Everything! Cons: Built in mic for hands free calling is not for alot of road noise, make sure that your car is nice and quiet......
Got what I wanted Written By plankeye, Coatesville, PA on Tuesday, January 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value The Kenwood KDC-BT752HD is just as described. It does what I expected it to do, sound awsome. By the way I used the RCA amp outs to connect with the alpine MRP-F300 amp and then to the Alpine component speakers in the front and Alpine 2 ways in the rear doors. I spoke with 2 different Chrutchfield advisors who both had good ideas and reccomendations. I am able to use my 5 gig memory stick in the USB slot. My samsung tablet I use the 3.5mm stereo plug. My Samsung phone I can make hands free calls thru Bluetooth connection. Only negative so far is my phone does not always auto connect. It waits for me to press "ok to connect to unknown device" even though the phone states the device being the Kenwood KDC-BT752HD which it is already been linked to. That seems to be a problem with the phone not the reciever. Pros: Features galore and the lightshow is cool. Cons: The phone thing and the learning curve. This thing does a lot with a few buttons and knobs.
I like Written By Reich1, Lexington, NC on Monday, January 14, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value It has more boom, more features, easy to use, and HD radio has stations I didn't even know existed. The bluetooth and pandora paired easily. However when using bluetooth it only plays through the front two speakers. Pros: Awesome! Variable colors set to match dash. Easy to use. Cons: Display colors no variable. Bluetooth only goes through front speakers
I'm returning it :( Written By Larry V, Fultonville, NY on Sunday, January 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" rating Build Quality rating Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I got this radio for my wife and she hates it. It is not easy to use, the buttons feel flimsy and not in the best places. I will be returning it ASAP. Pros: All the features worked. The audio quality was pretty good, even with stock speakers. Cons: Not user friendly.
Great system Written By Mriley462, Waterford , NY on Sunday, January 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I have always bought Kenwood. The sound is awesome after replacing the factory unit. Haven't had time to set up blue tooth yet. A lot of features you'd expect for a more expensive unit. Free life time support is a great service they offet. Directions left out a step of hooking up the blue w/ white wire to the blue w/ white wire on the adapter to keep chime alerts.called Crutchfield and with in 1 minute the problem was fixed. Pros: All Cons: None so far

Ok... let's say you've had several dozen short stories published in past years, many of which have disappeared from circulation since the webzine on which they appeared is defunct or the antho/magazine is out of print. And yes, you have the right to reprint them as you only sold the first rights for an exclusive duration of six months, or whatever. Now, the stories are not necessarily THAT crap as they were published in paying marketing, so somebody liked them... but they are significantly less deep than the novels you are getting ready to publish, which are not literary masterpieces themselves, but a step above the completely mindless fun of the shorts. Is it a good idea to reprint said silly romps on your blog, or do you run too much risk of turning away readers who assume your novels are equally shallow?
If you still like the story, but aren't exactly drooling over some of the sentences, why not spend a day on it and patch it up? Then you can post it on your blog with the publication credit. If you don't care for the story, or just don't feel like putting any more time into it, then you can pour yourself a glass of beer and toast the fact that the blog on which it ran is dead. (But go ahead and post the publication credit anyway. It's part of your resume'.)
There's a difference between romps -- satiric, comic fiction -- and stuff where you don't think your writing is very good and may not be seen as very good. One is a tone question -- if you put up satiric fiction, which are perfectly as full of depth as drama, will people assume that this is what you write and then be confused by novels that are not satiric? The answer to that is usually no. While some writers specialize, a wide bundle of SFFH authors don't and are likely to write series with different tones. Core SFF readers are used to this, and your friends and such likely hanging around your blog right now will know you have multiple interests. Publishers will have your novel to look at and won't expect short stories of yours to necessarily be the same. And if they like the writing of the satiric stories as much as the editors of the webzines who originally published them, that might be a plus for you. If you're talking about quality of writing, however, that's a different issue. If you think that the stories are poor examples of your writing, even though they were published, then you might not want to reprint them on your blog. (Although again this is unlikely to effect publishers who are looking at your novel ms.) If you think the stories are okay examples of your writing, interesting experiments, then chances are since they already had a positive reception that some other readers will like them too. If, however, you are thinking about submitting a story for a reprint sale in an anthology that takes reprints, you might want to hold off on putting the story up on your blog, so as not to have any rights complications, until you can see if you can sell it again that way.
I still like the stories as they stand alone and I think the writing is good technically speaking, the issue is with their mostly intentional lack of depth... basically most of the shorts I write are very shallow action(sometimes /comedy) fests while my novels are generally at least somewhat less shallow, the concern is readers of the shorts thinking the novels are similarly as deep as a puddle.
Why not simply brand them as exactly what you see them as: a bit of fun. If you're worried people will tar all your work with the same wrong brush, just let them know what to expect. You could even drip feed them out to build anticipation. "My new novel about dystopian cannibalism will be hitting the shelves any day now, so to wet your appetites, here: the buddy-cop-movie parody that I had published two years ago in Defunct Mag #12, freshly polished for you, my beloved blogging audience. Next week, I'll be sharing Two Puppies in a Blender, for which I won the Least Likely To Win A Hugo Award award in 2004."
Wait, wait, now, two puppies in a blender -- wouldn't that be a spin off story to the dystopia cannibalism novel? Glutton, we're trained to believe by social mores that comedy and action are easier to write and have less depth, but this isn't actually the case. Something that is fun does not necessarily have less depth. It's just coming at things from a different angle. More to the point, you will never get to decide how your audience will react to and interpret your text. You could write the most serious, complex, dramatic, imagery heavy, interior novella and have some readers declare it to have the depth of a puddle. So you could put the stories up as a training session in learning to have author armor +4, which everyone needs. But again, review your plans for reprint sales before posting them maybe.
Hmm. I figured this would be a post about whether to blog about 'trivial' stuff, like what you had for breakfast, or the like. My stuff is often described as "quality pulp" and that pleases me. It can exist. Don't be embarrassed or ashamed of what you've written. Unless it's utter garbage that was clearly fanfiction written in highschool with the names changed to avoid copyright infringement and chock full of amateur writer mistakes so obvious that they bring into question your intelligence and experience. Then you might need to get them into critique groups, STAT. Then you should be ashamed, or at least made aware of your mistakes. Ah, writers. And artists of all stripes. We're so blind to our own strengths. It's not a crime to be aware of your strengths and your flaws, at least last I checked. Often writers worry too much though. If the magazine was reputable, then you're probably fine. I'm not completely surprised about the going out of business thing, though. I've heard stories, is all I'll say. We live in a tumultuous time for writing, and for a lot of arts-on-the-web stuff too. So just because the place where you were published went downhill, it doesn't mean it's disreputable. From what I've got to go on, it doesn't seem to be the case. It's often very human to be proud of garbage and ashamed of diamonds. Skewed understandings, and all that. I wouldn't trust myself to be the best editor for my writing, but then I'm blind to my mistakes and many of others' mistakes too, at least the non-obvious ones. (On that note, I've found it's one thing to be aware of my strengths, quite another to be aware of my weaknesses.) Definitely send them to a critique group (I think we have an area here) and see if you can make them shine even more. I went through four drafts in my sample before I got a Distinction AND an offer for publication from a new publisher looking for stories. I didn't spew out diamonds first try. If I did I'd be rich and famous right this second.

As Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and other tech giants lobby the government for more high-skilled worker visas, immigration officials say they've received too many applications for this coming year.
Tech companies and members of the Zuckerberg-led political action group rejoice as the U.S. Senate votes to approve a comprehensive immigration bill. But, the measure still has to pass the House.
Immigration officials say they've received more than enough petitions for the some 85,000 visas up for grabs. Now they'll do a random lottery to pick who gets them.
As layoffs grow by thousands in Silicon Valley and beyond, tech companies still say they still need access to skilled foreign talent.
Reader reaction to a recent post make two things clear: Lots of folks treat the H-1B program as a convenient scapegoat-and most agree that I'm a clueless stooge.
Computer consulting firm placed ads that "expressly favored" temporary visa holders over U.S. citizens and other longer-term residents, says Justice Department.
They urge Democratic leaders to schedule vote on heightened cap within the next few months. Democrats say they're "committed" to granting that request, but timeline is unclear.
Numbers from immigration officials show that more H-1B visas were requested during this year's application window than last year's, particularly for foreigners with advanced degrees.
New rule says select foreigners enrolled in training programs won't be forced to return home as soon, which may give them a better shot at obtaining visas to stay in the U.S.

Padres tab hot-hurling Hahn in opener vs. Twins
Rookie has won seven of nine starts; Hughes taking hill for Minnesota
Put simply, Jesse Hahn has not had a poor outing since his debut against the Pirates on June 3.
The Padres' right-hander, who is 7-1 with a 1.44 ERA in eight starts since then and has shown few signs of slowing down, will take the ball in Tuesday's opener vs. the Twins at Target Field. Hahn shut down the Cardinals during his most recent start on Wednesday (one earned run in seven innings on his 25th birthday), and has surrendered only 5.7 hits and 0.3 home runs per nine innings this season.
Manager Bud Black and Hahn both attributed the youngster's success against the Cards to excellent movement on his fastball, which often dipped like a sinker and other times tailed like a two-seamer.
"It got a lot of ground balls for me tonight," Hahn said after the start. "The first inning I actually had trouble controlling it a little bit -- I don't think my fastball has ever moved that much."
Hitters have a collective line of .182/.270/.246 against Hahn, who's mainly utilized a fastball/curve combination to rack up 54 strikeouts in 53 2/3 innings.
"It's a traditional, old-school curveball," Black said. "It's got great spin to it, 12-to-6 or 1-to-7. He throws it with great arm speed and it comes out mid-70s [mph], which when you have a guy throwing 90, it shows. I like the fact that it has a big break to it. It has a good, tight spin. In the hitting area, it's biting. He's not afraid to throw it 3-2, 3-1."
Those pitches have helped Hahn win seven games in his first nine career starts, the most in Padres history.
"He's not a secret, even though he's been facing teams for the first time," Black said. "He's being talked about because he's made a number of starts and his innings are getting up there a little bit. First look for the Cardinals, I think they saw a guy with a good fastball and a good hook who mixed in some changeups as the game went on."
Twins starter Phil Hughes, meanwhile, picked up his first quality start in four tries his last time out on Wednesday vs. the Royals. Hughes (10-8, 4.12 ERA) took the loss despite allowing just three runs in six innings.
The former Yankee got off to an excellent start this season, but his production has slipped in recent months. Hughes' ERA is a poor 5.63 in three starts since the All-Star break, and 6.08 in his past eight outings.
Still, last Wednesday's effort against the Royals was a step in the right direction.
"[The Royals'] approach to jump on first-pitch fastballs turned out to be a good one," Hughes said. "I left a few balls over the plate for doubles, and that's the game. It's unfortunate. I felt like I had good stuff all night."
Padres: Rotation for Pittsburgh series undecided
With two off-days upcoming on Monday and Thursday this week and Ian Kennedy's recent minor oblique injury complicating things, Black is still unsure how his team's rotation will shake out after they complete their two-game series against the Twins.
Odrisamer Despaigne is set to start Wednesday, and Black could choose to skip over Eric Stults (4.94 ERA) in favor of Kennedy for Friday's opener against Pittsburgh.
But Black likes the way Stults has looked in his last two starts, and noted Kennedy's reluctance to let loose on his fastball in his first start back from a mild oblique strain on Saturday.
"We'll look through when we get to Minnesota ... whether Ian needs another day or two based on his side session [in between starts]," Black said. "He'll throw a side in Minnesota and we'll gauge where he is. We'll see where him and Tyson [Ross] and Stultzie line up when we get to Minnesota, and see how that relates to the Pittsburgh series."
Twins: Escobar expected back in the lineup
Eduardo Escobar went 0-for-4 on Saturday against the White Sox, so manager Ron Gardenhire sat the 25-year-old infielder during Sunday's game in Chicago.
"Esco kind of scuffled along [Saturday]," Gardenhire said. "He was chasing a little bit. I think, since this was his old team, he has a tendency to try to do a little bit much. So hopefully he'll take a little bit of a breath. We like to use everybody anyway."
Despite the poor game, Escobar has been fairly consistent for a lackluster Twins offense. He's picked up a hit in 12 of his past 16 games, but he hasn't notched an RBI in any of his past 13 contests.
Worth noting
• Hahn has given up one run or less in six of eight starts while not allowing more than three runs during that span.
• The Twins have lost three straight games with Hughes on the mound.

Brisbane to Gold Coast rideRe: Brisbane to Gold Coast rideRegistered in the 25-30km/h group... got my pack in the mail the other day. Was considering trying to go 30+.

So I'm weighing up whether I should just cruise in my group at or just below 30 considering this is my first B2GC or give it some stick and aim for 3hrs (34km/h).
Will be riding this; and most probably wearing a Red and Black Campag Jersey, if anyone wants to say Hi.
Re: Brisbane to Gold Coast ride
Will have to catch you first...
Re: Brisbane to Gold Coast ride+1
that will be a very nice pace if i could keep up...but at least you'll have no mountain bikes in front of you. fantastic looking bike by the way. what is it?
Re: Brisbane to Gold Coast ride
The thing about that bike is... it doesn't make the engine any more capable.
Dengfu FM098 with Campag SR
Re: Brisbane to Gold Coast ridehow much does it weigh?
Re: Brisbane to Gold Coast ride7650g. Not the lightest, but not too bad
Re: Brisbane to Gold Coast rideJust back from a 100 k ride in preparation for next Sunday! Weather permitting I should do close to that amount again on Monday. Then a fairly easy week just commuting for three days.
Aiming for a sub 3.5 hour ride depending on the wind! How's everyone else's preparations going? Lisa
Re: Brisbane to Gold Coast rideDid a PB mt cootha front loop this morning... Ready to go...
Chuckling at the 7.5kg bike above... I weighed my 19 year Shogun a couple of weeks ago... 15kg... I would worry about if more if I wasn't 20kg overweight myself... Loving my Merida's and working towards adding a Pinarello to the stable... Go go go...

Re: Brisbane to Gold Coast ride
spat out 80-odd kms this morning- coot-tha (the back in 10:30-odd) and extended riverloop. felt really strong. missed a KOM by 1 second due to a red light. a few PRs to boot.
Re: Brisbane to Gold Coast rideWell I was going to go for a ride this morning, but instead the wife decided I needed to build some built-ins in the kids bedrooms. so guess what i'm doing instead.
Re: Brisbane to Gold Coast rideretro raturday crew did 2 riverloops this morning. good to see new people on the blocks too. looks like we're all pumped for next sunday
Re: Brisbane to Gold Coast ride
Good work there Jason, I got a PB thru the Tennis Centre this morning and did ok on the shop ride before heading to do the Loop. Weather permitting I'm heading for Springbrook on Monday...every time I plan this ride it rains This will be the third time I've planned to get this ride done, third time lucky hopefully! Lisa
Re: Brisbane to Gold Coast ride
Wow, my 30 year old Vertex is only 10.6kgs (ready to ride, without bidons), besides the CF bidon cages & Ti wheels skewers I've not made any real attempts to keep it or get it light. I would have thought a full CF beastie would be way lighter than that.
Re: Brisbane to Gold Coast ride
Re: Brisbane to Gold Coast rideHad man-flu this week. Did a bit of a ride this morning and got dropped at least 5 times...
Once you can climb hills on a bike it's all downhill.
Hopefully I'll know what that's like..... one day.
Re: Brisbane to Gold Coast ridenever hear a woman say she had woman-flu. weird.
but yeah, amazing how much a col/flu can slow you down isn't it?
Re: Brisbane to Gold Coast rideWent out and rode up to Yatla and back this morning. nice 100km just to make sure that I can still do it, seeing as I haven't done over 50km since March.
coming back down Hope Isand rd there is alot of glass in the bike lane just as you turn on to it from the service rd, I can see alot of flats next weekend if they dont get it cleaned. and I also encoutered 2 feathered friends bomb diving along the the length of hope Island Rd.
Re: Brisbane to Gold Coast ride
Can someone down there report it? They might get the street sweepers through there? Once you can climb hills on a bike it's all downhill.
Hopefully I'll know what that's like..... one day.
Re: Brisbane to Gold Coast rideso what's going on with the group?
are we having a BNA group still?
Re: Brisbane to Gold Coast rideweather forecast now states "mostly fine possible shower 17 to 27 degrees
Re: Brisbane to Gold Coast rideJason,
The retro guys are doing it on steel in the 25+ group if you want to join. As Wal has mentioned before it will be a casual ride with lots of chat and not much competition. Reply here if interested, I have a friend who will be on a near new Scott Addict so carbon is tolerated, oops I mean welcome, Waz Wazza
Re: Brisbane to Gold Coast rideyeah the more the merrier! when is this group supposed to set off on sunday?
Re: Brisbane to Gold Coast ride
The 25+ pack is supposed to leave at 5.45am, probably like most years the 30+ pack will still be leaving when the next group are supposed to start, etc right through the whole lot. The ride starts on Grey Street heading north then turn left onto Melbourne St. then left into the busway, coming out on Miles Platting Road. I guess the retro guys should try to stay on the left hand gutter just in case we have any mechanicals or have to pick up 'late' arrivals along the way, any late arrivals should probably be ready to ride & sitting somewhere near South Brisbane Railway station on the footpath or just around the corner on Melbourne St in a similar place ready to join before we head off down the busway. For those who will be 'on time' I guess we meet at our usual Raturday meeting place then ride over, probably sometime around 5am to head over to the start about 5.15am. With any luck, munga should have received the jersey's, so we may have to do a quick change before the start. Any other details we'll either sort out by text or through our page during the week & confirm all plans on Raturday. Oh, you all missed it today, I shaved the sides so was riding today with a set of mutton chops ala` Wiggo , be doing 'ill pirato' next weekend. Carry on with what you were doing, that's all.
Re: Brisbane to Gold Coast ridethanks Wal - I am looking at averaging 30....so undecided at this stage

I would definitely ask the question who really cared about GNU/Linux-Gaming, if it currently wasn't about losing our freedom.
Steam and other proprietary gaming-platforms are deliberately opposing software-freedom and thus might be even more damaging to GNU/Linux-Gaming, if it existed, than the "lack" of real software-titles.
We really should think about the motives for Steampowered to port their platform and if it is worth it; I don't think they do this in a non-self-serving way and thus rather in the interest of making the GNU/Linux-Users solely dependent on commercial interests when it comes to games.
I don't know what you think, but I am not begging them to steal our freedom as many people in the GNU/Linux-community (including Michael) sadly do.
You might call me purist, but going the other way is not that different from Microsoft's and especially Apple's direction concerning respecting the users' freedom.

Yoga Mats
Fitness Gear 3mm Fitness Mat
$14.99 $19.99*
Save: $5.00 (25%) Free Shipping Eligible! Up to $15 Shipping Credit.
Perfect Poses on the Right Yoga Mat
Keep comfortable in the lotus position — your yoga mat is an essential tool for your time in the studio.
Find a yoga mat that delivers the right amount of cushioning and padding as you perfect your poses. Having your own yoga mat is important for consistency in your training, balance and hygiene in the studio.
Select from a variety of hues, materials and sizes for the yoga mat that is just right for you. Choose from standard thickness to extra-thick mats that provide ample cushioning between your body and the floor.
Turn to popular brands like Gaiam®, Manduka®, Natural Fitness® and many others.
Buying Tips
Never overlook the importance of your yoga mat. Make the most of your time in the studio with the right size, padding and material.
Consider the thickness of your mat. A mat that is too thick can make you unstable as you attempt the sirsasana, but a mat that's too thin can leave you uncomfortable post-workout. Shop extra thick mats that are 6mm and above or thin mats that are up to 2mm.
The stickiness of your mat provides grip and traction. Select from sticky or non-sticky surfaces or mats designed with a non-slip texture. Look to non-slip yoga socks to give you extra traction as you're mastering poses on the mat.
Many yogis desire a mat that is environmentally friendly: Look for yoga mats designed from recycled materials. Many mats are composed of materials that are natural and biodegradable for sustainability.
Expert Advice
Thick about the different materials used to design yoga mats. Select from mats composed of natural rubbers or jute as well as foam, PVC and microfibers.
Transporting your mat to and from the studio is a breeze with yoga mats that come with simple straps that allow you to roll and store your mat, or pack it up in your yoga bag.
