I love bringing back music from the past and having it meet and mix in with the new hits of today. I will often play mashups because they do just this. And I have found some great deejays that do a great job of smoothly mixing the different songs together without it sounding too "jarring" or "harsh" or "forced". And of course, there must be a beat or rhythm that motivates and pushes riders to work hard to stay on the beat while peddling through different levels of resistance. The music will hopefully drive the riders to work harder and focus more on the workout so that when it is over, time will have seemed to "fly by"! How great is that?!?! Doing the work while getting so caught up in the intensity of the challenges that you forget to worry about how long 45 minutes is! That is a sign of a good class. That is one of my primary goals when planning my classes. I hope you find this to be true in my classes. I hope to see you soon in one (or many) of my classes. Thanks for being a part of the Ride with Tommy! In good health, tommy
