Editorial Reviews

This is a workout video! Not a scenic trek. You're not a tourist, but an active participant in a 100 mile adventure through Colorado. Stop watching and start doing. You will be teleported into the virtual world of Colorado cycling where you will be faced with hills, wind, and people who are tougher and faster than you. So gear up, pedal and get ready to go the distance!

While there are numerous reasons to visit Castle Rock Colorado, there is one particular annual event held in the city that's worth planning a vacation around. Named after a natural rock formation that resembles a towering elephant. the Elephant Rock Cycling Festival draws thousands participants from all over the surrounding areas.

This is a great workout to build your base miles. It has a little bit of everything; sustained anaerobic efforts, multiple short sprint like climbs, solo efforts into the wind and enough pauses to recover to keep you energized and wanting to work more!

5.0 out of 5 stars BiTBoP Technology is a good thing September 27, 2010

By Fiona

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

I ordered this not because I'm training to ride a century, but because I moved to an area that has a limited selection of spinning classes. I don't want to fight for a bike or get up at 5 a.m., so I got my own spinning bike and went searching for a decent DVD. I chose this set for a few reasons: 1) Real-time road footage of a 100-mile (century) bike tour through Colorado helps you visualize and focus. The superimposed graphic dashboard recommends appropriate cadence and resistance level. An aerial map tracks speed and elevation. A graphic of the hill profile gives you an idea of the type of climb you're facing. 2) The set comes with 4 DVDs, so you get variety with your workouts. Stage 1 is a 1-hour ride with rolling hills; Stage 2 is 1.5-hour ride with some more strenuous climbs; Stage 3 is a 2-hour ride with some intense interval-type climbs; Stage 4 is a 1-hour ride with yet more intervals. 3) The audio comes with three options: narration over music, just music, and only the road noise. The driving beat of the dance-style music keeps me focused. I don't recognize the songs, but I'm just glad that I don't have to listen to cheesy canned music! The director/narrator Paul Gallas uses BiTBoP technology (behind the bars of Paul) and rides along with you and a "cycle buddy" who always ditches us halfway through the ride (nice buddy!). You can tell by his huffing and puffing that Paul is also doing the ride, but I suspect that Paul was narrating from an armchair during Stage 4. He sounded a bit too comfortable and relaxed. If Cycling Videos Online produces more of these DVDs, I'd like a scene selection option so that I can break up the videos into smaller 1-hour chunks without too much guesswork.

5.0 out of 5 stars ERocks REALLY does rock! April 4, 2010

By Grayhog68

Format:DVD

My husband and I have about seven other of Paul's DVD's for indoor cycling on a trainer. We enjoy all of them and they have greatly improved my cycling ability over this winter. All are a challenge if you use the DVD's correctly. Last week we received the ERock Rocks DVD's. While we have only had the chance to use the first stage DVD we can tell you unequivocally that WE ARE CRAZY ABOUT THESE DVD'S!!! Sorry for shouting but these DVD's are awesome. Paul does commentary throughout the whole ride and gives invaluable tips on training for a Century ride, or improving if you've already done a Century. We learned so much on just the first DVD. We love "riding with Paul" and having him coach us to being better riders. This is unlike any other cycling DVD for your indoor trainer. This is like having your very own coach. We cannot recommend the ERock Rocks DVD's highly enough.

Once again, Paul sets the bar and standard for other cycling DVD's. Great job!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best! August 2, 2010

By Ridin' or Hidin'?

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

I have purchased hundereds of items on Amazon but this is my first review, I'm that passionate about these DVDs. I have tried nearly every spinning/indoor workout DVD out there and these DVDs are by far the best. I get tired of having a guy with a stopwatch yell at me - - these DVDs are so much better; I actually get into the rides. The commentary is helpful and the fact that the narrator is actually doing the workout as well makes a huge difference. After trying Erock Rocks! I bought every one of Paul's DVDs - - I'm ready for Fall and Winter training!
