Patriotic Ride Success

I spent at least 9 hours preparing my Patriotic Ride and  it feels like it was a success. I used the video screens for the first time and that felt awesome. I am now preparing for my next big venture which will be an 90 min.
endurance ride complete with 30min. of videos/powerpoint. I am on the big end of the learning curve but am asking questions as they arise and am going to keep plugging along. I sure like this added dimension: old songs become new and am sure that there will be unexpected surprises as we add the visuals here and there.
I know that I will not want them everytime because we can listen to our bodies so much better when we ride in a dim room . In the meantime I am teaching on the different ways that we can measure our intensity levels so that when it comes time for the endurance ride we will be ready.Today the focus was our perception , hence
the use of the Borg Scale and next week will emphasize the heart rate monitor. I will be throwing in my 2 year anniversary ride . I use the same playlist that I used my first time.
