Trash-talkin' a-plenty!

On our most recent jaunt around the corporate park (thursday night), the group carried on it's tradition of throwing around the obligatory smack-talk. I'm very pleased to see that we've become comfortable enough with each other that we can now tell mouthy Australians what they can do with their vegemite sandwiches...Or, inform the Mexican cycling contingent how we feel about their choice of cycling shorts etc., etc., etc..

Speaking of the thursday night ride...We had a group of 9 guys out there as well as a couple of other cyclists riding at their own speed. The temperature had dropped quite considerably from just two night before where no one was even wearing arm warmers. Thursday, the group was fully decked out with leg or knee warmers, long-sleeve jerseys and jackets, full fingered gloves and Scott even donned his Wonder-Woman underoos!



We did have a close call with a speeding driver who was driving without his lights on, both literally and figuratively. All are safe and disaster was averted, but for anybody planning on coming out to the Progress Park rides who is in possession of a blinking yellow hazard light, please bring it out with you.

In regards to...
Danny Muehlschlegel replied to a recent post here on 5count with a list of songs for a cyclist to have on his/her ipod while training. Although that response was more or less for fun...I'm going to take it a step further and share some of my favorites:

Black Betty-by Ram Jam
This is just a good ole southern rock song that you all have heard before even though the name probably isn't recognizable.

Crazy Game of Poker-by O.A.R
This is the live version of the song. O.A.R has got to be one of the best live bands out there, who coincidently are going to be playing at the O'Connell center on November 29th, 2005!

Eye of the Tiger-by Survivor
You all know this one! If you need to get pumped up...this one and the next one are classics!

Danger Zone-by Kenny Loggins
...like I said, a classic!

Gold Digger-by Kanye West
I know it's corny, but I couldn't get this out of my head.

Pass that Dutch-by Missy Elliott
For all of you HipHop fans (Doug) here's one with a great beat.

Ring of Fire-by Johnny Cash
This really is for Doug. It's been sung a couple of times on the "ride of circles", so I thought it would only be appropriate to include it in this list.

Rough & Ready-by Trace Adkins
To show you that I am a connoisseur of all music, here is country song that has some attitude.

Son's Gonna Rise-by Citizen Cope
One of my recent favorites...if you didn't know, now you know.

United States of Whatever-by Liam Lynch
A song unlike anything you've ever heard...whatever!

Your Love-by The Outfield
Quite possibly the greatest 80's hit!

...there's eleven of um for you. A pretty diverse list so there should be something in there for everyone. I'll probably do this again sometime soon.
