One ride that demonstrates how crazy and unpredictable it is on the road. Great addition to the rest of the CVO tapes. Its easy to follow and entertaining at the same time. Great ride!! If you like the uphill, you'll love the crazy, roller coaster ride that is the downhill part.

I have purchased several of the virtual reality videos from "Behind the Bars with Paul" and this is by far the "Very Best Virtual Trainer Workout Video Ever". The workout is plenty long enough and the heart and legs feel it big time. The virtual reality of the ride brings you into the ride and you can forget you are not actually out on the road. If you use the heads up information that is supplied on the screen and keep it honest, this workout will kick your butt. This video climbs until your legs fall off and your heart is pounding out of your chest. I would highly recommend any of Paul's videos wanting a great way to workout or just get in some indoor miles.

I've bought just about every one of this cycling video series. I train mostly on a stationary trainer for Triathlons. Kind of freaked out of traveling on the road after being hit by cars and getting major damage (broken bones, road rash, lacerations, etc) from inattentive and impaired car drivers. These videos give me a feeling of being on the road without the danger. Plus, they are darn fun to do and the training time goes by really quick.

We are totally hooked on Paul's cycling videos and now own about seven of them. They are a great way to get in a hard ride during the winter, or (in the case of West Texas) when it's so windy that riding outside is miserable. These videos are infinitely better, and way more fun, than spinning videos. You actually do feel like you are out on the road doing the ride and by using the information provided on the screen you ARE going to get a great workout. If you are sweating by the end of the BtBoP videos, you aren't using the graphics and challenging yourself. There's no one screaming at you to push - it's all up to you. I keep a log of my rides, both outdoors and on the trainer, and I have definitely improved over the course winter by using Paul's cycling videos.

The scenery in this one is great! Oh yeah - and it will kick your butt and have your legs screaming by the time you reach the summit.

Thanks for another great ride, Paul!

I hold you folks completely responsible for my biking addiction.

I am a 66 year old criminal defense attorney and Law Professor in the Chicago Metropolitan area. Though we don't have any mountains (and only a few hills) we do have some impressive-for-the-area Rails to Trails pathways, but lousy weather winters. However, I have a son who has a mountain guide ,skiing, climbing business in Durango, Colorado (Klingmountainguides.com) whom I try to visit at least a couple of time /year. His wife is the HR person at Durango Purgatory Ski Resort. Of passing interest is that when my son Josh, now 30, was 15 he and a group of kids biked from Virginia to Los Angeles which is where we discovered Durango en route.

Through a number of trips to Durango and surrounding areas I began looking on line for biking videos in the region and found you folks. The rest is history. I have either purchased or been given as presents "Indian to Girdwood," "Evergreen to Red Rocks," "E Rock Rocks," "Training to Climb, Rattlesnake Bite," "Laying Down the Hammer," "Training to Endure, Front Range...." and "Bay Area Backroads." I assure you my orders for the rest of your Colorado and the High Country videos are only a paycheck away.

I hold you completely responsible for my significant diversion from work and family, spending extra money for the videos, not to mention phenomenally better emotional and physical health and outlook and enjoyment of life in an otherwise flat topographically boring environment. I really appreciate your attention to detail, especially enjoy the narrated videos, and look forward to a long relationship. Have a great year.

The dashboard makes these videos completely unique. The dash provides real time information to dial in your workout including cadence, heart rate and resistance. Plus other features of the dash keeps the video interesting, informative and a lot of fun! This is a short video that teaches you the components of the dash and how to use it. Enjoy!
