Even though it’s a freezing May afternoon and the rain’s been pouring down non-stop since sometime last week, I’ve got the urge to take my bike out for a few miles. Problem is, I always get bored after an hour or so of green and brown countryside with the wind howling away in my ears. Anyone have some music they could recommend to keep me entertained and… energised?

And is anyone else feeling the need to turn around that sluggish lifestyle with summer coming up? I’m taking a PE course in uni next year, and we have to play rugby. Against fully grown men. So I’d like to be fit before I die, at least.

I listen to dramatic operas/symphonies. No joke.

But I also live in WA so there's random flowers and fruit trees to keep me entertained. But I'm with you on the rain, blasted stuff is what's keeping me sick for a week. Have to get to class, but have to walk or bike a mile to get TO class.

...I listen to musical soundtracks. Hairspray is perfect for extra energy :P I start spontaneous (and embarassing) dance moves when I listen to it, so I'm sure it'll get you some pedalin' action.

I'm in pretty good shape since I'm a trainer and run around a lot. I do however procrastinate work like nobody's business ;_;

I like cycling. Don't listen to anything, but I do some road cycling so don't want to be too distracted. I do daydream though! Cycle to work and back most days. There's a 50 mile cycle I might join at the beginning of June though if I get some training done and think I can do it. Know I can do 15 miles in one go and sure can do 20. Only problem is my second training session I went over the handlebars. That was two weeks ago and my thumb is still a bit sore. Back cycling again though so tomorrow might go for a longer cycle after work.

Although work has been really busy at the moment so might not be in the mood by the time I finish. Should make myself though.

Black Betty or Hit The Road jack best travel songs ever

Black Betty is ace. :)

When I go cycling in the forest I sing to myself sometimes. Has to be in the forest cos I am an awful singer!

Quite looking forward to this Summer. Usually I am active in the summer and give up exercise in Winter. I started cycling to work April last year and mostly kept it up through Winter so am in good shape even for the start of Summer. Niiice. Had a fairly mild Winter though so just had to stop for a few snow/ice patches.
