I love finding and sharing the latest music with you each week, but this week I'm going back a few years to share a song I've been loving lately. We'll be riding on a flat road at about 95 RPM with this song from 2001:

I hope you can use it too! Leave a comment below and let me know how you're using this song or share a favorite flat road tune.
With summer coming to a close, I thought I would share my favorite songs of the summer of 2016. These are the songs you'll hear over the next few years that will take you back to those hot summer days of 2016. This is more of a compilation than a cycling playlist, so pick and choose your favorites for your own playlists and be sure to share your favorite song of summer from 2016 in the comment section!
Today's track is one of my favorite tunes of the summer, HandClap by Fitz and The Tantrums. The original is great, but also make sure to check out the remixes below. Part 1 came out at the end of July and Part 2 just dropped today, so if you're interested in a longer version or using a different BPM, you can probably find that with these remixes. I've used the original as a flat road with accelerations on the ‘hand claps'.
If you like using house music in your classes, here's a great one that starts out slow and builds as it goes on. Great for cadence or resistance building. This is by DJ, and master mixer Kaskade with CID and it's called Us. I've included links to the original, extended and several remixes.
Here is the original:

If you haven't heard of Lindsey Sterling, you will definitely want to check out her music. She's a violinist and she performs several different styles of music, including classical, pop, rock, and even electronic dance. Her album Brave Enough dropped today and it includes several songs that you'll want to add to your next cycling playlist. Here are a few of my favorites:
Lost Girls-This one starts out slow, then picks up at about the one minute mark, then slows again around 1:40, only to pick back up at around 3:50. Great for intervals or rolling hills.
The Pheonix- I love the intensity that this song brings. This one would make a great flat road.
And last, try this one, featuring one of may favorites, ZZ Ward, for a flat road at around 100 rpm:
