Training Song of The Day

Girls & Boys
Blur

This is just such a great dance song so it has all the beats and drops that make it a wonderful bike riding/hill training song! Not that I rode any hills today, that's besides the point here folks... its just a great song which has inspired me in many ways over many periods of my life. The Club Chameleon kids will know what I'm talking about there. What?!!

Training Song of The Day

Entertain
Sleater-Kinney
(iTunes)

This has a great section in the middle that is just perfect for hill climbing. Which I hate, not a fan of the hills. Luckily it looks like this years ride will not have as many hills, and hell I won't be in the mountains this year so it can only be easier!

Training Song of The Day

Only Happy When It Rains
Garbage
(iTunes)

So it's been like monsoon season here in Boston and I thought this one was appropriate. It's old school Garbage and it's pissy but still upbeat and kinda sexy. It's a good riding song. Gotta love Shirls...

Training Song of the Day

How Soon Is Now
Quicksand

I know you were probably expecting The Smith's version, but this version by ex-hardcore gods Quicksand is the more aggressive brother to The Smith's version and a hell of a lot better for riding!
