    No, usually, it pops into the head when I'm pushing the pace...I wanna be out there longer, not shorter!

    When I'm dragging, it is the Rawhide theme...Rolling, rolling, rolling...keep those bikes a rollin (memorize the words? Heck, no! Make 'em up as you go a long--never the same song twice! Never boring!)

    And, when I'm riding down a road that was once a pretty rural road, but isn't anymore...."little boxes on the hillside...little boxes made of ticky tacky" (Pete Seeger sang it) or Joni Mitchell's Big Yellow Taxi..."they paved paradise to put up a parking lot..."

    Wow....I'm really dating myself, aren't I? No, wait, I love retro music! Yeah, that's it!

    I love Pet Seeger and that is such a great song! I sing that one too.

    All by myself...

    When I get dropped in a road race and I'm out in the middle of bfe Georgia or Florida, the song "All by myself" pops in my head

    All by myself
    Don't wanna be
    All by myself
    Anymore....

    and I have my own little pity party until I can get it together again... haha!



    I sing a lot on my rides, or hum to myself.

    Have been thinking about this... and you know, since it came up in the thread about the Sesame Street 'YipYips' a couple of weeks ago, I have "sung" the yip yip song.

    It works in "slo-mo" when grinding up a hill... yip...(then breath in) yip...(then breath in) yip...(then breath in) yip...(then breath in) yip...(then breath in) yip...(then breath in) yip...(breath in) aha... aha...

    ... and all the way to the top of the climb...

    yip yip...
