Product Description: Warm up to a video montage of the architecture, canals, and little shops of Venice. After you find your legs on a gradual climb, youll get your speed fix by riding along a quiet highway overlooking the Ligurian coast near Bracco. These two sections lead to a brisk riverside run in Valstagna along the River Brenta. The fast pace of these flat to rolling sections will be the perfect setup for the killer climb that awaits you below the mountain village of Rocco. Finally, cool down to a photo montage of the behind the scenes activities of the film and riding crew, and the places where they stayed. Where to Buy
Reviews next best thing to actually biking in Italy  by: on: 27-Oct 2009 I'm an avid cyclist fortunate enough to be living in Sonoma County California which has some of the best rides to be found anywhere literally just outside my door. However when it rains and I cannot go out for a ride I find myself on my indoor trainer watching a cycling DVD. Recently my daughter for my birthday gave me the cycling video "Speed and Power in Italy" produced by Global Rides. This video is the next best thing to actually being in Italy and cruising their country roads which I think is every roadies dream. Beautiful scenery, scenic mountain passes, mild grades, straights, rollers, sleepy little towns and at the end a killer climb and backed by awesome music which seems to get you into the mood. This video is the perfect tool to help with your training on the dreary rainy days when you wish you were out riding. Give it a try. I highly recommend this video as an addition to your cycling DVD library. The leader of the peleton -- Tete de la course by: on: 20-Oct 2009 I have purchased many "virtual cycling" and training DVDs from several different vendors. The Global Ride: Speed & Power in Italy DVD is far ahead of its competitors by several kilometers. When it comes to virtual cycling DVDs, Global Ride is at the front of the peleton. Perhaps most importantly, the training content is superior. You will ride over an interesting and visually compelling course with varying terrain and varying degrees of difficulty accompanied by a few other riders and a professional coach who will instruct and motivate you to optimize your effort and the benefits of the session. Alternatively, you can seek group support and ride the course with other cyclists in a "live' training class, again, led by a professional coach. Either way, the instructor and training content are inspiring and motivating. Training content is not the only thing that sets Global Ride apart and ahead of its competitors. The video of the course and the picturesque scenes and landscapes of Italy is absolutely beautiful. Global Ride also did a great job integrating some of the Italian culture and local people throughout the video. They made it "real". Finally, if music motivates you, Global Ride has assembled a group of very talented artists. You'll want to play the DVD just to hear the music. Unlike its competitors, there are no "off the shelf" elevator songs on this DVD. If you are looking for content, motivation and entertainment, this is the DVD for you. Lovin' it! by: on: 20-Oct 2009 I own cycling DVDs from other coaches and was curious to check this one out -- I was not disappointed. Since most of the positive comments are already included in the other reviews, I will not repeat them. I will say, though, that I am seriously considering ordering more of Global Ride's DVDs to excite my indoor training, especially during the snowy winter. Great music, scenery and workout with added pilates class! by: on: 20-Oct 2009 I love this DVD. I read a bunch of internet reviews on various DVD's and this one came highly recommended. It's got the capability of turning the music (which is great) on or off as well as the coach (which you can choose which coach you want!) I thought the bonus pilates for cyclists was really well done since I do pilates regularly and was most impressed by the customer service I received from the owner. The owner contacted me after my DVD arrived to make sure there was no skipping or any other issues. This is truly great service and very hard to come by these days. I would highly recommend this DVD to anyone who wants a great workout while BLASTING THROUGH BRACCO!!! Well done. View All ReviewsView All Bicycle DVD's |
