Do you have a 'Mantra' while on your bike?

What is your mantra when you are out riding?

(on hills, in particular)
"If this don't make your booty move, your booty must be dead."
while humming the music in this video - an oldie but a goodie - in my head...

Considering I have EIA, after a while it's "breathe in, breathe out". Not very sexy, but if I'm trying to keep up with a paceline or just trying to ride fast, my breathing tends to get out of control. As one of the older, and dammed fast guys said, "one minute you're breathing, the next minute you're not."

So for me, it's "breathe in, breathe out".

on tuesday I rode 30 miles and what was in MY head was
"It ain't gonna rain no more no more, it ain't gonna rain no more; how in the heck can i wash my neck 'cause it ain't gonna rain no more"

it worked, it didn't rain on us

"suck it up...drink water". That came from one of my husbands army buddies we used to trail ride/run with. Super hard core.

I usually don't need or use a mantra for motivation. But I do continually through about every ride keep saying to myself "I'm sooo happy to be on my bike". "I'm sooo happy to have this time to be on my bike". "I'm so happy that I'm healthy enough to be riding my bike".

On long climbs I try to get a good rhythmic song going through my head.
