What are your cycling affirmations?

This thread inspired me to talk to myself on my bike today. It was GREAT. I SWEAR it made me go faster. It definitely made it more fun.

I was keeping my heart rate up, so I could only say 3 words or so at a time (out loud, of course). "Beautiful Powerful! Beautiful Powerful! Beautiful powerful, long and lean . . . . and FAST! so fast beautiful powerful fast . . . . i'm a goddess . . . . " It was great.

My new ear worm (I have no one to blame but myself) is one I sang with my kids at school (to the tune of the CanCan):

I can CanCan
I can CanCan I can CanCan...

Very persistent, useful for hills.
