I am riding in my first organized ride here in 1 week, Little Red Riding hood. I am doing the 33 miler. I figure it will take me 2-2/12 hours to complete the ride. There is no music players allowed. I have always done my rides with music. I put my ear buds in my right ear so I can hear traffic coming. I just don't know how I am going to stand a 2 + hour workout with no music! What do you do to get through those rides with no music. I really am more worried about this than any other thing on the ride. My aunt is riding it with me, but she is faster than me and is using it to get a base time for another ride she has coming up, so I am betting I will be riding the majority of the ride by myself. How can I entertain myself and keep myself going?
