If you're searching for a new song for sprints, look no further than this week's favorite track. Big Wild released it's single Invincible in September, and the remixes just dropped today. I especially like the Manilla Killa remix for sprints. Here's how we'll be riding to this one: :00-:50 seated climb; :50-1:20 sprint; 1:20-3:00 seated climb; 3:00-3:30 sprint; 3:30-3:49 recover.
One of my favorite songs to cycle to is Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance. Well, it's been 10 years since the iconic song was released and now Gerard Way, frontman for My Chemical Romance has teamed up with Steve Aoki for a special 10th anniversary remix of the song. It was released today and it does not disappoint. Here are both songs and how I rode to them:
Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance iTunes link
:00-1:45 seated hill 75 RPM
1:45-3:30 fast seated flat 98 RPM
3:30-5:11 push out of the saddle for a standing climb to the finish!
Welcome to The Black Parade 10th Anniversary Remix iTunes link
:00-1:15 seated climb or flat at 80RPM
1:15-2:15 standing climb
2:15-3:00 seated heavy climb
3:00-3:30 accelerate to the top of the hill
Martin Solveig's +1 features several pumping remixes at between around 62-65 RPM. Featuring Sam White, this one delivers a funky house groove and catchy vocals. It's always good to have a +1. This one will surely get your next cycling class off to a great start.
I love finding remixes of great songs to add to my music library because I'm often looking for a specific song length to add to my profiles. This week's favorite track features remixes of the song Kill the Lights (with Nile Rodgers) by Alex Newell, Jess Glynne, DJ Cassidy. If you're looking for a 3, 5, or 7 minute song to fit in to your profile, you're sure to find what you're looking for here. The original and the remixes clock in between 62-65 rpm, so they make great climbs. I hope you find one that works for your next class!
A few weeks ago I shared a Little Mix song called Shout Out to My Ex, which I've been using for jumps. This week's favorite track is another new song from Little Mix called You Gotta Not. At around 91 RPM, it would make a great flat road or warm up. I could also see using it for sprints at :47, 1:33, and 2:21.
