Songs for Indoor Training?
This must be a common question to this group, but now that it's getting
colder in the northeast US, more people would be retiring to their indoor trainer. I find this very tough, but music helps me pass the time. This year I want to spend a lot of time training for hills, and hence be out-of-the-saddle even on my trainer. Any good suggestions for hill climbing songs? How about warm-up and cool-down songs? |

Songs for Indoor Training?
This is a little off your topic, but last night I did a roller workout for
the full duration of the movie Breaking Away. I now understand why Italians are such good cyclists -- they have incredible music to train with. I can't tell you what operas or symphonies are in that movie, but the music is fantastic for all kinds of pedaling. Bob C. "FeDude" wrote in message ...

Any good suggestions for hill climbing songs? Are you listening to the songs or singing them yourself? If you're doing the singing, I recommend using the techniques described on my website (http://home.earthlink.net/~cpetersky...onal_Music.htm) in choosing them. -- Warm Regards, Claire Petersky Please replace earthlink for mouse-potato and .net for .com Home of the meditative cyclist: http://home.earthlink.net/~cpetersky/Welcome.htm Books just wanna be FREE!

Any good suggestions for hill climbing songs? How about warm-up and cool-down songs? It's an oldie, but I *really* like "Where's the Walrus?" by Alan Parsons Project. I sliced and diced this one into 8+ minutes, copied to cassette for the car, and converted to MPG for biking. "Lucifer", also by Parsons and also an oldie, became entry #1 on my personal "Autobahn Muzik" list away back in the 80's. |

: I've heard of weird by-laws before, but that one takes the cake. they don't seem to have many laws here in idaho .. so they try and make the ones they do have interesting. for instance title 49-720 is a real trip. in idaho cyclists don't technically have to stop for stop signs. merely slow down and yield. bicyclists are allowed by law to treat stop signs as yield signs. same for right turn on red (you don't have to stop). you do have to stop for stop-lights but there was a court case and some hub-bub over it (the statesman, the local paper had said it was ok to treat them as yield signs). you can ride two- abreast (sanely) and on the interstates (which i like). but there appears to have been a critical mass to assert the right to ride on downtown sidewalks. here's the bit: Attention!!! There will be a City Council Meeting on Oct 6th at 7:30pm to discuss banning bikes from downtown sidewalks. On September 29 at 7:30pm, the city council discusses expanding the current dismount zone. BOTH MEETINGS ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC! YOUR ATTENDANCE IS VITAL! but my best boise biking moment was riding up bogus basin road about 8 or 10 miles out of town (and up, up, up) and hearing semi auto rifle fire off to the side of the road. they waved. i cleverly suppressed my minneapolis- honed instincts to duck and cover at the sound of gun fire and waved back. friendly bunch, thankfully. -- david reuteler |
