I don’t normally ride with music, because I’m either talking to mates or worried about traffic. However, I make an exception for very big climbsl . I’m just thinking what my soundtrack will be on monster big climb day on our alpine tour, it includes the ominous sounding Colle dei Morti.. Suggestions welcome.
154kms and 4325 meters of climbing on day 6 ouch.
For photos of the climb and the area head over here.
I’m thinking something like this.

White stripes Seven Nation Army
Violent Femmes blister in the sun
Bowie Ground Control to Major Tom
Talking heads Road to nowhere
Puccini Nesse Dorma

It is a big hill, so I’ll need a few more tunes.
I’m planning to post photos, links etc in a shameless imitation of Will’s excellent cycling blog, cycling challenge. I’ll try and get maps, heart data. photos and so on all mashed up.
