Undisclosed Desires 261

Inspiration: I managed to pull this mix together in record time, ready for the Thursday night Endurance Ride class at the Y in DTGR.

This … Continue reading Undisclosed Desires 261

Check … Continue reading Wherever U Go / It Feels Good 260

Tonight Belongs To U! (Endurance Ride) 259

Inspiration: For a change I thought I'd post this BEFORE the Thursday night Endurance Ride. I really like this mix for a solid Endurance theme. Just a couple interval tracks, everything else a steady run on flat road, or uphill! A few are repeats, some are classic rock...the rest are new (new to me). One … Continue reading Tonight Belongs To U! (Endurance Ride) 259
