    N GA Thursday July 3 Day Ride

    Great interview question! I hope you found some great candidates. Someone driving a black pickup had a corner staked out on 129 near Neel's Gap and was shooting an SLR while we were doing our Thursday ride. I hope we'll synch up for a ride soon.

    Garmin Zumo 550 MP3 Random Play Algorithm

    Jeff, Great post! I have 1,000 songs on an 8GB card in what I thought was a fairly flat file structure with an //garmin/mp3/artist/album/songtitle.mp3 format and encountered the same problem with shuffle resets as you experienced. I just bought two new 8GB Class 6 SDHC cards at $27 each at...

    Tips For Safe Interstate Riding - 1st Road Trip

    There is plenty of room under the seats for a portable air pump such as a "slime" and a tire repair kit.

    ER 6 earphones volume problem

    Try putting in new filters. It is hard to tell visually if they are "gummed up"; but the aural proof is compelling if filters are the problem.

    S Plug Universal Earplug Speakers

    cpsfjr, I'm glad you like them. I've used mine for about two months now and am always amazed by how much they block wind noise. Volume levels from my Zumo are now reduced and the music quality is superb. Spread the word! Like you, long term use of them is very comfortable for my ears.
