We really lucked out when we were up there a couple of weeks ago - it was impossible to take a bad picture that day. Here's hoping it'll be that nice out on the day of the ride.

You people are scaring me. You can SING as you are climbing? I'm screwed.

"Entertain" is not the term I'd use.

I sing when I'm riding - to entertain myself. The last two times I did Jo's 200 K I was belting out "Live Like You were Dying" as I rode into Dublin at the end.
The Thumps definitely help on long solo rides. I turn them on for the climbs.
Thom use to sing "I would walk 500 miles" when we first started riding in the late 80s. He'd change the word walk into other things - bike, barf, etc.. depending on how I was doing.

I have periodically sung on short climbs to make someone laugh and then beat them up the hill. Singing can be very useful.
Volume is completely dependent on the combo of hill and fitness.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

Ah...so in my case, I'll be lucky if I can hum at the level of a whisper.

The voices are calling you and they're very friendly.
