The newsletter has this: Robert Herdegen, a professor of psychology at Hampden-Sydney concluded in a
study that cyclists who listened to the band Metallica while riding traveled 11 percent farther than
those who listened to no music. However, Herdegen states, "Picking music you like is a more
important factor in boosting performance than just music with a faster tempo." The 11% figure seems
very high, but the concept seems legit to me. Greg

That's interesting. I used a walkman for years which I now traded in for a MP3 cd walkman which
holds over 12 hours of music on one cd. When I play slower music I like, it's like having the brakes
on especially when climbing. When I play my favorite new age rocker tunes I climb at a better rhythm
then when I play slower tunes or no tunes at all. I don't like riding without tunes because then
it's just the sound of the tires thrashing the pavement and the blood spurting in my head. But some
mountain bike rides I go on have several spectacular waterfalls and the river has nice acoustics, so
sometimes I just leave the walkman off. Of course Walkmans are illegal on the road but no big deal
on trails.

In Flames should make you go fast; I can't believe you've heard of them. Not a huge Metallica fan,
but where would those bands be without 'em? You likely could use headphones in a TT. If you REALLY
want to go fast, I would suggest Pantera.
