Music tracks before a ride – what inspires you?

Just wondering if anyone else is like me and finds that music pre-ride can alter the mood/feel of the ride?

For me before a DH its Metallica – Enter Sandman and if its just a woods or regular ride, usually something like Muse…..

or maybe it’s just me…… 😈

Amon Amarth, Machine head, Bullet for my valentine or 36 Crazyfists. They all get me going before a ride

sound track from the first matrix film

a bit of Marillion, strangely enough!

Before the first 24/12 I had a few minutes in the car with RATM at full blast to get me in the mood. I hammered away from the line like a man riding for his life along with about 400 other people then had to spend about 15 minutes standing about like a lemon in the push-a-thon that was the first section of very tight singletrack… with a headache.

Most rides are now preceeded with a chorus of “juliehaveyouseenmykeysjuliehaveyouseenmyphonejuliehaveyouseenmyshades…”etc

At the next HtN we hope to have a bagpiper to get everyone in the mood.
