Andy Mineo from the Playlist

It’s been a while since I’ve put up something from my playlist, and since I just played it through this morning on a great ride, I figure it’s time.

This morning was an oddball of a BCFB. My 14th of the year already, and there were two distinctive factors about it. First off, for some reason, nothing was really bothering me physically. Face it, when you wake up at four not knowing what you’re going to do, your body goes through a few phases. Especially when one of the premises of your early morning rides is that they’re fueled entirely by a cup of black coffee and nothing else. So there’ll be a spot in the ride where you’re not feeling it, then the coffee kicks in after about 10 miles, then about 6 miles later you start to fade. This morning, there was none of that. I put the pedal down and didn’t let up for the whole ride. I did the HP2HP route (Godeok Home Plus to Osan Home Plus), and ended up finishing it 7 minutes faster than I’d ever done it (6 tries total).

HP2HP is a long, narrow route from the Godeok Home Plus on the south end to the Osan Home Plus on the north

The other distinctive point, and this one is nearly impossible to achieve around here, especially since my route took me through several stop lights and past the Samsung factory when a lot of people are heading to work, is that I did the entire ride without stopping once, averaging nearly 70 rpm cadence for over and hour and twenty minutes.

1:20:37 elapsed time, all of it moving

It was a great ride.

Anyway, here’s one of the songs that moved me along. Interesting words, interesting message…
