What's In Your MP3/CD/Cassette Player???

[Hill Slug]

Hey Women, Just looking for some more ideas for riding music...I have a wide variety of musical likes.....Dislikes: opera, rap, and very twangy country. Right now I have: Boston, ABBA, Heart, Madonna, Beau Jocque, B52's, Queen, Mellencamp, and various Dance/House/Trance <- which I reeeeaaalllyyy like.

So....whatcha got???

Do you listen to music while you're riding outside? My current thing is Cher. Not the disco stuff though.

I do listen on the road, however, I only use the right ear piece and don't have the volume up so high I can't hear anything else. It's just enough to get me going....

I've thought about doing that to get me more motivated to run. But, I'm not sure that would even work.

I do EXACTLY the same thing--right ear bud and low volume. But I only use it when I ride by myself. It does help motivate me.

I downloaded my favorite songs from my entire CD collection to my MP3 player. And anything that I felt would be good to ride to I catagorized as "cycling". So when I ride, I play the "cycling" genre and off I go. It's a pretty big variety for me, too... From the Beetles and Elvis to classic rock to old standards and show tunes to punk rock and maybe a little country... Whatever makes me feel like getting up and moving.

Got a coupla dogs you can have if you need motivation to run. If I don't run them at least 4 days a week - they break out: my bedspread, books, DVDs, the couch, etc. They both suffer seperation anxiety so anytime I change my routine and/or don't run them, they get anxious and pretty much destroy things. Great motivator to run!!!!
