Inspired by a recent post on Alastair Humphrey’s excellent website, I thought it would be interesting to share my current ‘On the road’ play-list. I sometimes listen to music for 4-5 hours a day cycling across deserts, but much less, if at all, cycling in more populated areas. My itunes Library is always looking for new sounds, so if there’s something you think I might like, send your suggestion this way.

Great list – shame we never met on the road. We could have done a music-swapping session over tea in the sahara
