Pre Race Music

GODSMACK...........The Enemy...HELL YEA...

Refused or At The Drive In...the only pre-ride music I'll ever need.

All That Remains, Five Finger Death Punch, Killswitch Engage, anything with double bass really...

Barry Manilow, Ingelbert Humperdink, and Ol' Blue Eyes.

lil' Wayne - Dropda World
Johnny Cash - Hurt

Phish Tweezer reprise.. Can't deny my VT roots.

SUBLIME on the way there and back!!!

Alice's Restaurant

Rage against the Machine and Metallica go on heavy rotation before a race.

FFDP is some of the best "pump you up" music there is. "Way of the Fist" is just epic.

Queen - Bicycle

2001. Phish. Get pumped. And Rage Against the Machine if I'm feeling like racing particularly angry.

Dropkick Murphys, NOFX, Finsterforst, or Vader; I save the chilled-out tunes for the post-race beer.

Supergrass, I Should Coco

The trans rockies blares Highway to Hell at every start....

AC/DC? At a sporting event? How novel.

By third day you understand completely.

Bad Religion, Fishbone, Drive by Truckers, The Reverend Horton heat, Fu Manchu, Motorhead...

Trade secrets...

There are other posts on this if you want more recommendations, but I think this should be a sticky.

I have more of an issue keeping relaxed, not getting "up" for the race. It's very personal... I sip down some sports drink while listening to some of this...

Crystal Method (Drown in the Now..and. Keep Hope Alive),
Nas (Hero)
TV on the Radio (Wolf Like Me),
Chemical Brothers (Galvanize)
....I just hit itunes for some of the songs off of the "Follow Me" soundtrack. Great stuff.
