Inspiration: A west Michigan snow day calls for a SPOTIFY marathon AND a new 90-minute playlist / ride profile! This time my brother-in-law Clint had some great suggestions…this should be a GOOD ONE, planning on this for tomorrow’s FTP 90 class!
The ride is named for the Moody Blues track and perfect for this ALTERED STATES theme…plenty of chemically-induced tunes (there’s more that didn’t make the cut this time). Includes many of the “classic” artists: Styx, The Doors, The Beatles, Steve Miller Band, The Rolling Stones, Rush, Jefferson Airplane, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Cream, The Who, The Cars…and others. A more current, but fitting bonus track is Lover, Leaver by Greta Van Fleet (homegrown in THE MITTEN – aka Michigan!)…thanks Clint!
More hills on this one, so the target for the five zones on this ride is heavier in Yellow:
Zone 1 (White): 5%…Zone 2 (Blue): 5-10%…Zone 3 (Green): 30%…Zone 4 (Yellow): 40%…Zone 5 (Red, Ring of Fire, Tunnel of Fire): 15-20%
Genre: Classic / Psychedelic Rock
Duration: 96 minutes (without cross-fade)
