    Sometimes I use music -- an uptempo play list. One song easy, next song hard effort, next song half easy, half moderate effort, etc. Or shift to a hard gear for the chorus and easy for the verses. Stuff like that.

    I would think someone somwhere has made podcasts for indoor cycling intervals...

    - Gray 2010 carbon WSD road bike, Rivet Independence saddle
    - Red hardtail 26" aluminum mountain bike, Bontrager Evoke WSD saddle
    - Royal blue 2018 aluminum gravel bike, Rivet Pearl saddle

    Gone but not forgotten:
    - Silver 2003 aluminum road bike
    - Two awesome worn out Juliana saddles

    Spotify to the rescue; dozens of play lists. I’m starting a playlist for my rides. On Spotify you are welcome to add your faves to my list;

    Another fan of music for indoor riding. I just put on the headphones and use some of my playlists my iPod. The music helps get me motivated to ride indoors. It's the only time I listen to music when I ride. This time of year, I'll also have a thermos of coffee to sip on in the bottle cage on the bike. That helps, too.

    Normally I watch football while riding indoors. Hear me out on this, it’s perfect. You do a fast regular pace during the game, then sprint during all the ads. It’s near perfect HIT. I’m not a big fan normally but this works.

    Problem is we don’t have a TV so Spotify it is unless I stream a game somehow.

    Off to set up the bike.

    If I had to pick a sport to watch while on the trainer, I think it would be something faster-paced. Basketball would get me in better shape.

    I don’t really get strategy of basket ball. It seems just run ... dunk ... run ... dunk. I know there’s much more to it. But I “get” football somewhat. Today though I listned to This American Life podcast while on the bike.

    Knott starts chemo on Thursday.

    wishing strength and bravery for both of you!!!! looking at cancer as just one chapter in our life, not our life story…can help.
