Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees Ride

Hey-hey!

First of all: if you received more than one e-mail from me yesterday with the same content – I am truly sorry about that. It was a technical glitch I overlooked and it won’t happen again – promise! Thanks for not unsubscribing from my post updates 🙂

But let’s get to the fun part!

On New Year’s Eve Eve of 2015 we went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, OH.

If I were to describe the whole experience to you, I’d be at a loss of words because for a music geek like myself it was an extremely overwhelming and amazing experience. See for yourself:

These, my friends, are John Lennon’s glasses…John Lennon’s passport…John Lennon’s driver’s license…

And this…doesn’t even need an introduction!

Anyway! I was deeply impressed by this place. So deeply that I put together a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees Ride to teach in one of my classes shortly after I got back, which is what I’m sharing with you today.

All the songs on the playlist are by the musicians inducted in the 80’s and 90’s.

A few tips:

• “Mean Climb” is purely Lean Lena’s terminology, not approved by any certification body 🙂 It’s that kind of heavy climb that makes you angry with determination to conquer it. It’s that slow one where you have to grind your teeth and give it all you’ve got.
• For the actual times for the interval pyramids, see the file download below from the Class Builder App that I use to teach my classes.
• On the Class Builder App download each segment has a year in the title – that’s the year that musician was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 😉
