Howdy y’all!! It is time for a new ride post! I put together a ride full of all the new hits! Well, my definition of new hits. I’ve been know to be a bit behind on the latest hits. I once played a song, Uprising by Muse, in class for the first time for a heavy hill with surges, and I told everyone before the song began that I had this totally awesome (yes I said “totally”…It’s my inner surfer coming out) song for our climb. Right after the song started one of my regulars kindly pointed out that the song was about 2-3 years old. I think I lost some of my totally (yup said it again) “hip” factor at that moment. So, now I make sure I’m more up-to-date on my “newer songs.”
Quick question to all my spinners/cyclists…What are your favorite songs to do Jumps to? I’m putting together a post full of my favorite songs for jumps, and I wanted to add yours in too. Thank you for your input!
Here is a fun filled Interval ride that will have you sweating and burning calories the whole time!!
