Indy is on anaesthesia and wanders off, so he's joining the show. Since the weather has been craptastic so they've been laying low. Lucky for you, they spend nearly the entire episode answering listener questions. If you're wondering about their opinions about electronic controls, bike replacements, and more, listen in. If not, they'll probably have an opinion of where you can go...
Huge thanks to this week's show supporters:

It's been a while and Ben catches up on what's been happening lately, talks about an upcoming coaching project with Coach Drew Edsall, and then chats with Andy Magness, who is the director of ENDracing in North Dakota and author of Ultra Mental. The discussion with Andy is filled with great insight, ideas, and thoughts about kids, endurance training, and overall living a mindful life.

About Ultra Mental:
"This book is not intended to replace training that works. It is not designed to argue that tried and true methods of preparing for endurance events should be abandoned. It does not describe a shortcut to fitness, nor does it suggest an easy route to success in ultra-endurance efforts. What it does do is build a case for an idea that application of consistent high intensity training can provide a level of fitness from which a mentally tough athlete can approach, succeed at, and enjoy endurance sports..."

SEGMENT 2: DC HARDCORE
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_D.C._hardcore
The majority of the DC hardcore bands were made up of middle/upper class private school educated children of diplomats and other members of the Washington establishment at the time. Many grew up in the Georgetown and Northwest areas of DC, where they developed a sense of social justice by witnessing its injustices first hand - they were rich kids living in a privileged world, a social elite.
Some of the many legendary DC bands:
Minor Threat, Teen Idols, S.O.A., FUGAZI, Bad Brains, Dag Nasty, Swiz, Iron Cross, VOID, The Faith, Youth Brigade, Government Issue, Scream, Marginal Man, Gray matter, EMBRACE, Soul Side, rites Of Spring, Ignition, Worlds Collide, Damnation A.D., Battery, Ashes, Gauge,
SEGMENT 3:
Essential DC Hardcore Records from Our collections:
DAG NASTY - Can I Say
Original release 1986 Dischord Records
Re-Released in 2002 on CD - CD contains bonus material
Dag Nasty was a Washington D.C. melodic hardcore band formed in 1985 by guitarist Brian Baker of Minor Threat. Their style of less aggressive, melodic
hardcore was influential to emocore, as well as post-hardcore. Check them out here: http://www.daghouse.com/
BAD BRAINS - Rock For Light
Original Release 1983 on PVC Records
Reissued 1987 Caroline Records
ReMixed and Released 1991 Caroline Records.
Bad Brains is an American hardcore punk band formed in Washington DC in 1977. They are widely regarded as among the pioneers of hardcore punk. Bad Brains developed a fast and intense punk rock sound which came to be labeled "hardcore", and was often played faster and more emphatically than the music of many of their peers. The unique factor of the band's music was the fact that they played more complex rhythms than other hardcore punk bands, also adapting non-punk style guitar riffs and solos into their songs.
The second full-length album by hardcore punk pioneers Bad Brains, released in 1983.
A previous album, Bad Brains, was released in 1982 but only on cassette, therefore
making Rock for Light Bad Brains' first proper album.

MINOR THREAT - Out of Step
Original Release - 1983 Dischord Records
Out of Step is the sole studio album by American hardcore punk band Minor Threat. It was released on 45 RPM vinyl in April 1983 through Dischord Records. After a temporary break-up in 1982, Minor Threat entered Inner Ear Studios in January 1983 to record Out of Step. Recording duties were handled by Don Zientara. While the lyrics on their early EPs were an outlet for MacKaye's message, the lyrics on Out of Step deal mainly with friendships and problems associated with them.

Founder, director, and current rider of The Underground Project, Casey Hildebrandt, joins the show to discuss what the group is all about and what lies ahead for team.
Founded in 2015, The Underground Project is a development cycling team, based in Wisconsin, that aims to fill the void with development opportunities within the United States. Casey Hildebrandt launched The Underground Project to raise the bar of development cycling teams and support young cyclists who need it most. Due to a continual lack of support with off-road disciplines of cycling, specifically in the Midwest region, he finally formed the Underground Project after years of thought and preparation.
The formation of The Underground Project stems from combined, interacting passions of bicycles and working with children and adolescents. Hildebrandt strives not only to raise the bar for developmental cycling teams, but to give back to the community by providing opportunities for youth to succeed, both, on and off the bike. His current and future career provide him with a unique understanding, skillset, capacity, and approach of how to successfully implement and direct The Underground Project.
