What I listen to while I ride

Recently I went to the Bike Raker Heads blog http://bikerackheads.blogspot.com/2009/10/fun-with-pie-charts-explosions-and-male.html and clicked on a link to the worst song I think I have ever heared. I wondered if maybe it would appeal to me if I was ridding and listening to it and then realized I would probably end up smashing my bike into a tree repetitively if that song was in my headphones.

A blog I do check out for music is Jims http://unholyrouleur-jim.blogspot.com/2009/10/friday-fun-time.html on Fridays, he always has music videos, and most of the time I like it, but probably would not train to it.

I listen to different playlists depending on the ride, here are some of my haines point songs..

and the Saturday 7 and 10 am rides are more rock like and slower...

but if I am by myself and just cruising

So these are a few of the songs I am listening to when you ride with me. Have you ever wondered what Brian Butts listens too? I don't because one day when we were late for the 7am, I walked in on him dancing to this song in his spandex (true story)..


There are others I see whoo listen to music and I wonder 'what is he listening to?'
like:

Dave Fuentes, Russ Langley, Ken Young and Chris Reagan - all strong riders. Do you ever wonder if the guy who is riding you off his wheel is listening to Barry Manolo or Cher? I mean it all ready sucks to get dropped, but what if you were getting dropped by someone listening to some cheesy music too.

  1. Listening to music is one thing, but Chris Chapel sings to people while dropping them at Hains. Playlists vary but the volume is always up to 11.

  2. A lot of The Prodigy. I just turn it up a little louder for the noon ride. Bryan Vaughn has lots of good tracks on his videos; thats where I got the idea of "Invaders Must Die". It is a good one for Hains Point.
