Inspiration:  After discovering SPOTIFY’s The New Alt playlist, I was inspired to create this all-alternative playlist.  Other than a few hills, this is mostly a quick-paced ride with a variety of jumps, sprints and other high-cadence stretches.  If you’re looking for a shorter 45m class format, there’s an ALTERNATIVE version for that too.  Several new artists for me on this ride.  Don’t miss these top picks:  Alright, Saw Lightning, Problems, Change, Dirty Air, I’ll Wait, Shake and the Stripped version of Bad Liar.
