Galibier ride video

Getting a jump on the big climbs this season using the new TurboVids
real life video rides and the Tacx i-Magic trainer.

Phil Stone (the guy who posted some useful info about mounting the
Polar Power Kit a year or so ago) has made a bunch of video segments
that cover the Marmotte course and a bit more, for a total of 190km of
video riding.

This isn't just another ride-along with disconnected video. The
TurboVids are synchronized with the i-Magic brake unit which varies
the resistance according to the terrain you are seeing. Hey, when you
need to train for climbs but the outside is frozen over, inside you
can still blowup your heart over some friggin' steep video climbs.
I'm finding it a lot of fun and a useful when I want to really push my
limits. Great for sustained efforts at LT and higher.

Phil has a demo Galibier video on his site for download. As this is
just a demo, the playback speed is set to go very fast, but you can
slow this down in Media Player to the point where you can read names
painted on the road.
