Thanks. So far, I'm going to have a mix of some old skool rap (Know The Ledge/Follow The Leader by Eric B. & Rakim, some Gangstar, Ice Cube's Wicked, Dre's Natural Born Killer, LL's Mama Said Knock You Out, Kool Moe Dee's I Go To Work, Big Daddy Kane's I Get The Job Done, Beatnuts, Big Pun, NORE, Diplomats and various hard playing, mid-high tempo songs with a nice steady beat as well as a whole lot of Freestyle music and definitely gotta have my Zeppelin, Hendrix, Stones, Guns & Roses, Wheezer, Lincoln Park and such AND mucho Salsa).
The year before last when I first began riding I dropped from 248 to 198. Now, I'm at 220.
On flats, I'm good for high teens, but I have no ideal how long I can keep that speed
consistently because I run out of road where I live so I generally average 16mph on
my local loops of 3 miles going up hill and 3 miles down coming back.
