|
|
| [DOWNLOAD: CYCLING TOUR] The Aube Valley is ideal for a light ride or warm-up, because the route descends slightly while you are riding with the flow of the river L’Aube. The green, rural area and deserted villages add to the relaxed atmosphere of the French Champagne region. This route and associated Tacx video (T2055.05) is a remake of the first part (but about 6km further up river) of the Tacx Real Life Video from 2004 (T1956.07) which covers 78km of the Aube Valley. | |||||

| [TRIATHLON] The Wildflower Triathlon in California, one of the USA’s biggest and most appealing sporting events, now has its own Tacx film (as of Dec. 2012). Follow the same undulating roads round Lake San Antonio used in the 2012 edition of the triathlon. The ride starts next to the lake with a fairly steep 1km long hill, but once you’re over that it’s fairly easy-going until much later into the ride. The roads in this remote and scenic part of the Golden State are very quiet, making this an ideal ride for every type of rider. The total distance of the film is 87 km. | |||||
