MUSIC FOR RACING AND TRAINING
Playlists from the Ribble Outliers
Tracks for the trails
Professional cyclists spend their lives riding bikes, thinking about riding bikes and racing bikes. It can get a bit boring, and sometimes they need inspiration and motivation to get them in the mood. We asked each Ribble Outlier to share the playlist they're listening to right now. The tracks that help them get out the door when it's cold, wet, and hard to find a reason to ride.
Josie Millard
From skateparks to gravel roads, Josie's playlist mirrors her fearless energy. High-octane drum & bass collides with hip-hop intensity and Daft Punk's electronic precision. The soundtrack of a European Skateboarder of the Year turned pro cyclist. Expect relentless tempo, raw power, and the sound of someone who's never afraid to send it.
Abi Smith
Six-time national champion Abi Smith rides to indie anthems and timeless rock. From Arctic Monkeys to Springsteen, her playlist balances introspective melodies with driving energy, perfect for North Yorkshire training rides and conservation work between races.
Ben Thomas
Four-time National MTB champion Ben Thomas rides to electronic precision. Daft Punk, BICEP, and Caribou fuel his transition from mountain bike podiums to gravel's biggest stages, reflecting the competitive mindset of a world-ranked athlete now targeting UCI World Gravel Series dominance.
Harry Tanfield
From WorldTour roads to gravel racing, Harry's playlist mixes pop anthems with cycling podcasts. Pink, Madonna, and blink-182 provide the soundtrack, while Lanterne Rouge episodes fuel his analytical mind.
Sophie Wright
European MTB champion turned WorldTour rider, now back on gravel, Sophie's playlist pulses with drum and bass energy. Chase & Status, Royal Deluxe, and Skrillex mirror her aggressive racing style honed across disciplines. Five podiums in 2025 set the rhythm. In 2026, she's chasing three major championships with relentless tempo.
Jenson Young
Lorem Ipsum
Metheven Bond
Former content creator turned full-time athlete, Metheven takes a different approach. No music, no distractions. Just rain, thunder, ocean waves, and birdsong. Pure natural soundscapes fuel his long gravel efforts. As he steps up to Badlands and the Gravel Earth Series in 2026, he prefers to raw dog it.
