Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Virtual reality cycling DVDs any good?

Newbie here wondering if these Dvds are worth it...I can only watch Gladiator, LOTR trilogy, 24, etc...so many times. If you like these, which ones do you use? Spinervals? Rides?

Regards,

BWJ

The Reno Riders videos look pretty good. I would be interested to know if anyone here has used them.

I have the spinervals virtual rides..one is almost 2 hours.

Real rides is cool (crit racing), but the effort isn't really calibrated for specific gear combos like Spinervals, they just give you indicators of what perceived effort you should be using.

Staring at coach Troy's ass for 2 hours is as exciting as it sounds.
