Sorry, it may be an age thing, but the ultimate riding soundtrack for me is John Playford's English country dances. No, not Morris tunes but genuinely rhythmical, fast up-beat catchy stuff that somehow manages to keep you relaxed, focussed, in a good head space and not too intruded upon. I also sing along to Sacred Harp. Stones are good too! I generally like a shuffle so I'm constantly surprised. (Keeps me awake on rides home from Norwich to Cromer!)
