Description
Virtual ride video footage of the famous Alpine climb; Alpe d’Huez, which has seen many a great battle in the Tour De France. The climb is 13.8 km at an average 8.1 %, with 21 hairpin bends. It was first included in the race in 1952 and has been a stage finish regularly since 1976. Great to put on while you are on the turbo trainer this winter to simulate riding the legendry climb.

A great training aid to beat the turbo boredom and a welcome change from the typical winter turbo trainer intervals sessions!
These are quite fast assents, but when played on vlc player you can drop the playback speed for a longer, more accurately painful workout!
The Great views, gradient information and cadence guides help keep you focused on keeping the resistance appropriately high. …Until you catch sight of a shadow of the car bonnet with the camera mounted on it! But as mentioned above, these are very quick climbs! And in fairness the car only goes at pro-rider speeds.
I’ve also used the Mont Ventoux virtual ride and rate this equally highly.
Well worth the money!

Great for using in using in our Turbo Sessions or spin classes as the music has a steady beat to climb to. The dashboard gives you all the info you need and easy to interpret. Everyone loves this one.

An excellent video that I enjoy watching whilst on my wind trainer. If I were to change anything – (1) when riding up the Alpe you don’t note the distance to the summit rather you count down the hairpins as you ride through them. (2) Could you adjust the beat of the back ground music track to match the suggested cadence? All in all a great video and a very reasonable price that I would highly recommend.
