|
|
| [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. | |||||

|
|
| [CYCLING CLASSIC] Iron Horse Classic 2004, Colorado (US). Sample the typically American atmosphere and experience the vast, wild and overpowering natural environment of Colorado. This 119 km route from Durango to the ski village of Ouray runs through the town of Silverton. The well-known 'Iron Horse Classic' takes place along part of this route. This pleasure ride continues along the Million dollar Highway through the Red Mountains to the finish line. It is a tranquil journey. Now and then a lorry races along the wide asphalt highway. The first section of the trip is flat, ideal for warming up. En route to Silverton you ride through moutain-side spruce woods and climb the Coal Bank Pass and the Molas. Both mountains are at elevations higher than 3050m. It is an easy ascent since the gradients are uniform and not too steep. Then you pass the highest point, the Red Mountain Pass. The view across the jagged mountaintops of San Juan is spectacular. The road then branches off and becomes the famous Million Dollar Highway (20 miles). This road got its name from the bottom layer of asphalt that is mixed with ore that contains gold. The road begins to wind dramatically. You cycle through the Red Mountains, rich in iron, along the arrow-straight wall of Uncompahgre Gorge, through tunnels and past pelting waterfalls. The 90m high Box Canyon Falls is close to the finish line. The water plunges rapidly down the waterfall, across dark limestone into a deep gorge. | |||||

|
|
| [MOUNTAIN STAGE] Alpine Classic Marmotte 2004 (FR). This ride starts with a short descent (a 3rd of the way) along the Col du Télégraphe (decent towards the Galibier) to the Valloir ski resort. After passing through the centre of the town, which (in the TACX video) is busy with construction activities, you begin the long ascent of the Col du Galibier. At a certain point you will be riding above the tree line, with alternating, fascinating views across the Alps. You then reach the infamous U-turn at Plan Lachat. From there, things get more difficult. The combination of altitude and steep slope conspire to slow you down. Towards the top of the Galibier the road slashes through a spectacular wall of snow (at least on video!), which is metres high at some places. After the 300-metre tunnel, you start a fantastic descent that leads you to the Col du Lautaret (2,000m). You ride alongside a glacier at La Meije Pass (3,983m), the village of La Grave, through tunnels and over the dam bridge at Lac du Chambon. You finish at the foot of the Lautaret at Les Clapier. Next comes a nearly dead straight false flat in the direction of the village of Bourg-d Oisans. Right before the village you turn right and, after 50 metres, arrive at the official starting line where the climb to l'Alpe d'Huez begins. This climb has long, difficult sections with 10% gradients and numerous hairpin curves. The finish is in the village of l'Alpe d'Huez, near the tunnel entrance. * Col du Galibier (2,500m) * l'Alpe d'Huez (1,839m) | |||||
