Favorite Track(s) of The Week

Valentine's Day is fast approaching and whether you're making a special playlist to commemorate the occasion or not, I think you'll definitely want to have these songs in your library.  In the past, I've created both Valentines and Anti-Valentines playlists which were both well received and lots of fun! Here are a few of my favorites from both collections.

Two of my favorite Anti-Valentines songs are I Don't Like You by Eva Simons and 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover by G. Love and Special Sauce.  

I Don't Like You makes a great climb at around 64 rpm's:

I Don't Like You iTunes Link

50 Ways to Leave Your Lover ( a Paul Simon cover) works as a flat road (93 rpm's until the 3 minute mark, where the pace picks up until the finish).

50 Ways iTunes Link

My two favorite picks from the Valentine's playlist are I Want You to Want Me by Chris Isaak and Big Love (Live) by Fleetwood Mac.  

I Want You to Want Me (a Cheap Trick cover) works well as a flat road:

I Want You To Want Me iTunes Link

Big Love (Live) by Fleetwood Mac is one of my all time favorite songs for seated speed work:

Favorite Track of The Week

Many of our riders remember the 1980's television show Knight Rider.  You know, the one where David Hasselhoff (AKA Michael Knight)  drives around in an indestructible and highly intelligent car named KITT?  This week's favorite track features the theme to the show-in remix form.  There are several different mixes to choose from depending on the length you're wanting to use for your particular profile. They're all around 63 RPM's.  If you're looking for a song with a good, driving beat and no lyrics this one is great.  I even had a few people that recognized it!  I hope you enjoy using it in your classes!

The Power of 3 – Three Song Harmonically Mixed Music Sets – Elton John

One of my Christmas gifts this year was a record player and the first album I listened to on this turn table was Elton John's Greatest Hits.  The sound that comes from vinyl is amazing, it simply can not be replicated on a digital device like an iPhone.  One of my resolutions this year is to learn to enjoy music again.  The day I got certified to teach indoor cycling I started putting all music in two categories; Can I ride to this song or not?  Music that I felt could not be used in an indoor cycling class was simply deleted.

There's too much great music out there to go through life not really enjoying it.  So I have that turntable set up in my office and when I'm ready to listen and enjoy some music, I pull a record out of my new collection of vinyl, place it on the turn table, watch it spin for a little bit, place the needle on the edge and just let the music play.  It's incredibly liberating to enjoy the beauty and artistry of some of the greatest song writers and musician again.

An interesting thing happened while listening to albums in their entirety, I'm still finding songs that will work in my classes, here's a Power of 3 mix from one of my favorite artists, Elton John.

Are you ready for some football??? Superbowl Sunday is just over a week away and if you are planning on creating a Superbowl themed ride or playlist this year, I have just the tunes to get you started.  First, here's a playlist that includes five tunes to get you started with your ride music:

Official Gameday Music of the NFL iTunes link

I found a decent playlist with music for the Panthers, but I wasn't able to find much for the Denver Broncos:

Black and Blue: Official Music of The Carolina Panthers iTunes Link

Something fun to add to your playlist might be a song or two from the halftime artist, Coldplay.  Maybe Every Teardrop is a Waterfall, Clocks,  Viva La Vida or Sky Full of Stars.  (I've also heard Beyonce' and Bruno Mars will be playing in the show)!

And just for fun, why not add in the NFL  theme song?  Here are a few versions:

NFL on Fox Bobby Morganstein iTunes link

The Theme to NFL on CBS by E.S. Posthumus iTunes link

And we can't forget about this one to get your riders ready for the big game:

Crowd Chant iTunes Link

I hope you can use some of these ideas as you put your Superbowl ride together this year!

 

A New Spin on Indoor Cycling Videos

A New Spin on Indoor Cycling Videos

I've been using video in my indoor cycling classes for years, recently I started added my Trainer Road profiles to the display so riders know the exact length of every interval.  I'm a firm believer in sharing the entire profile with my riders.  By projecting the profile on the screen riders can make a plan on how they can most effectively complete the workout.

Today I was playing around with iMovie and found a way to embed the Trainer Road profile into the video as well as add my class recording the the audio.

Check it out and let me know what you think.
