Before you start cueing up Bob Marley and Willy Nelson, let’s get one thing straight: This theme is not for everyone. You’ve really got to know your audience, your club’s vibe, and maybe even double-check with management before rolling (pun intended) with it. That said…if your crowd has a sense of humor and you feel comfortable with it, why not have a little fun with some tunes that wink at 4/20? We’ve got over 115 for you to choose from!Read more…

Dixie first presented this Boston Marathon ride at WSSC in the mid-2000s, and it quickly became one of the iconic, empowering sessions instructors spoke about across the country. I was thrilled when she agreed to write it up for ICA members, including all of her powerful coaching cues, and filled with the intensity and the rich history of the Boston Marathon. You are in for a special treat! We also have a running-themed bucket playlist with over 300 songs.Read more…

This track is driven, bold, and unapologetically strong. With a steady beat and an explosive chorus, it’s the perfect second warm-up track to elevate the heart rate and prepare riders for the work ahead. Use it for progressive leg surges, building resistance, or a dynamic blend of both—either way, it sets the tone with confidence and conviction.Read more…

Our Paris–Roubaix profile has long been one of the most-loved race day rides at ICA. It’s unlike anything else you’ll teach—after all, there aren’t many chances to immerse your riders in the chaos and challenge of grinding over ancient cobblestones, dodging mud or dust, and fighting for traction. While the real-life course is brutal, in class we keep it safe and fun…but still work our butts off. The best news—it’s been updated for 2025 with inspired coaching to help you make this ride even more memorable. My latest playlist was updated last year—and it’s my best one yet!Read more…
