In Awe of Speed - a podcast to make you go faster!

This one is dedicated to those brave men who will soon be gracing the pavements of Whitehall in London on their Carbon steeds in the Prologue of the Tour de France 2007. A mere 7.89km in length, it will be a high-energy affair with the riders reaching up to 60km/h speeds on the straights, and all over too soon - only to be followed by 3 weeks of gruelling stages, the first one from London to Canterbury and then we're off to France to those notorious climbs and uphill sprint finishes that only the strongest can survive.

Being an avid cyclist myself and proud owner of a 928 Carbon/Ultegra Bianchi (2006) I can only say that speed is addictive - it is hard work, but ultimately extremely rewarding. No other means of transport is so energy efficient and graceful as a fit person on a road bike and when you are on the move, you are flying. Going all out calls for music that encourages you to enjoy the fast moving landscape, push you to work even harder - so here is 25 minutes of high-energy sounds to get you moving real fast!

To sample the podcast, listen to it by clicking the blue track on the right and if you like it so much you want to use it too download the full kaboodle from the link below. It has markers for the different songs, but I've included the play list below in case you want to get the high quality tunes. (The podcast is 128kb-rate to not make it too huge!)
