Elahn’s Ultimate Cycling iPod Playlist

An article by Elahn    No Comments

With 7 months to go before I head off to Israel for the ride from Jerusalem to Eilat I thought now would be a good time to start getting together music to listen to on the journey. Considering I’ll be riding up to 5 hours a day for 5 days the choice has to be well thought out and planned.

Music really helps me when I’m riding. It’s a great motivator. It helps get me in a ‘zone’. It keeps my spirits up despite my sore behind. What sort of terrain I’m riding over at the time demands different types of tracks: long, flat roads may go well with something steady and deep, quick climbs may demand something more energetic.

What music would you suggest I add to my playlist? Keep in mind that I am going over all sorts of terrain, so if you suggest a track, also suggest the terrain it would go well with – eg, Britney Spears, End of the World, Afternoon power cycle, flatout.
