<\/p>\n

It’s friday. It’s raining… spewin’! No riding today, well not for me anyway but I bet Dave is out there getting a wet backside! Haha, sucks to be a courier sometimes eh mate! Well I hope\u00a0the downpour stops\u00a0in time for track tonight..<\/p>\n

Ah, now what rubbish am I gunna talk about today? (Haha, whilst the boys are away in Melbs no-body can edit my posts!)Well I’ve mentioned my opinion on the merits of er, riding plus .05 before..^^^^ so perhaps I should voice my views on riding with tunes? Yeah, why not..<\/p>\n

My Old Man reckons that stuffing headphones in ya ears whilst riding is a sure-fire recipe for disaster. You can’t hear the traffic about you and you’re effectivly losing\u00a01 of the 5 (?) senses.. I suppose he has a point, but for me, the benefits far outweigh the negatives.<\/p>\n

I often ride with my mp3 player blaring in my ears and I always seem to ride faster and way harder! ..I think my choice of tunes has alot to do with this. Slayer, Suicidal Tendencies, Mindsnare and Mark of Cain are probably my favourite riding tunes (it’s all about matching drum-beats with heart rate.. ) although Slayer can be a tad much.. I’ve hit a pretty solid double that I normally wouldn’t touch\u00a0whilst cranking\u00a0‘Angel of Death’..!<\/p>\n

..but then again, I tried to ride up Mount Wellington trails listening to Lee Scratch Perry.. made it way harder than it needed to be.<\/p>\n

Hope your having fun riding in Melbs Mischa! Show those mainlanders ‘how we roll’ in Tassie! (insert B’n’C team salute here).<\/p>\n
