Spinverals Virtual Reality "On the Road" Series 7.0: Kona, HI Training Ride (3-DVD set)

The weather outside is frightful so I'm in the man cave on my bike watching spin videos. This is a well made video and the only reason for the three stars is that the Iron man ride is more about steady tempo for 5 and a half hours and doesn't provide much change of speed.I do love watching videos of different locations while stuck in my basement so I will purchase more from on the road.

Slow, boring, non-interesting.

I recently added this to my growing On The Road Spinervals collection, joining my IM Louisville and IM Wisconsin DVDs. All are very good and offer extremely informative course tips, racing tips, mental and physical preparation tips align with rides along the course routes. Fwiw, Louisville and Wisconsin are group rides with 4 members of local tri clubs joining Coach Troy, where Kona is solo. Louisville and WI are lollipop courses, riding the handle out of town and 2 loops of the circle routes, and each of these 2 courses fits on a single DVD (which only include once around the 2 loops)with approximately 2.5 hours of good content. Kona is an out and back course on 3 DVDs and about 5.5 hours of material. Lots of lava fields but that's the course. Really cool to ride along such a legendary course and hear Troys excellent commentary....and some decent music that you can mute if you only want commentary. You leave transition in Kona with the ocean in sight, ride out of town (so real I was braking for approaching cars, traffic lights, ...), onto the infamous Queen K highway, past the Energy Lab, resorts and on to Hawi, and back again. All of these are excellent ways to enjoy your indoor trainer more and learn about these challenging courses.

Not sure what I received, but there was not 6 hours of spin on the CDS. There was about 15 minutes on each CD about 45 minutes in all. I had seen great reviews, but this video was not it.

I have to ride indoors because I'm visually impaired. I love using these DVDs to give me a scenic view to experience while I ride my spinner bike. Makes me want to get a sighted guide and train for the ironman!

I have used this DVD extensively in my triathlon training. Video has been key in teaching me long-term pacing required for Ironman distances. This is one of Coach Troy's best training videos. A must for any serious ironman triatlete!!

Awesome work out, do not even feel like your sitting in one place. The instructor is phenomenal in tellling you what speed and resisitance you need to be at

this is a great dvd to use for endurance rides here in the Northeast, plus the added advantage of seeing the sun in Hawaii
