Tacx Real Life Video Club.
I wondered if there were any other Tacx RLV users out there who would be interested in setting up a Tacx RLV Club?
Basically a RLV library where member can loan DVDs to try before buying.
I have 4 RLVs I can start the library off with:
T1956.14 RLV The Pyrenees Stage - France
T1956.12 RLV Amstel Gold Race 2005 - The Netherlands
T1956.13 - Lombardy Tour 2005 Italy
T1956.18 RLV Alpine Classic 2007 - France
Basic club rules could be:
You need at least 1 RLV to contribute to the library to be able to join.
The library member wishing to borrow a RLV must cover the postage costs both ways.
The library member must return the RLV within 3 weeks from dispatch from the owner.
So would anyone be interested?
Details on my RLVs:
T1956.14 RLV The Pyrenees Stage - France
Tour de France 2005 Stage 15
The images of this awesome trip though the Pyrenees speak for themselves.
This is simply a must have real life video if you enjoy the challenge of the mountains. US racer George Hincapie won this stage that was one of the toughest of the 2005 Tour de France. Now you can taste what he achieved this day by riding the last 3 Cols of the gruelling stage 15.
Climbs
Col de Peyresourde 1569m 6.8% - Col de Azet 1580m 7.1% - Pla d'Adet 1700m 8% - Total climbing 2406m
The Route
Bagnéres-de-Luchon D618 - Loudenville - Génos-Azet D225 - Saint-Lary-Soulan D123 - Pla d'Adet
Route Information:
You start this challenging ride in the 1930s styled Spa town of Luchon & quickly wind your way up the first climb of the Col de Peyresourde. As you come into sight of the top you are rewarded for your efforts with your first brief views to the right side. This is a new feature that at this time is only available on this Real Life Video. The views are something that was not really possible without the clarity of a High definition camera & now you can really look & spot little mountain villages kilometers away.
After a fast descent you start up the steeper climb of the Col de Azet & again as you close in on the top you are afforded some wonderful views down to the valley lake & across to the Peyresourde. A second fast descent with some spectacular views of the last climb brings you to the busy ski resort of Saint-Lary-Soulan. This is your last chance to rest as the last long climb to Pla d'Adet is extremely tough for the first half. With tiring legs the second half of the climb may not feel much easier although there is a brief rest bite just before the final few steep kilometers to the finish.
Filmed in High definition in perfect crystal clear weather the day after the Tour de France traveled these very same roads.

Ride the course of the Amstel Gold Race, the only Pro Tour classic in the Netherlands. This video was taken during the professional competition of 2005. The start is in Maastricht, after which you ride the most interesting parts of the racecourse, including the entire final section.
The route takes you over countless small hills like the tremendously steep Eyserbosweg, Keutenberg and Cauberg, in the rolling landscape of South Netherlands. The finish is at the top of the 140 meter high Cauberg in Valkenburg.
T1956.13 - Lombardy Tour 2005 Italy
Filmed in DV starts further out then this years 2008 version but you also do the Guisallo & Colma, then you make a left at Nesso to Como
The Tour of Lombardy is known in Italy as the Tour of the falling Leaves. This race is the traditional end to the Classic season. This extremely tough 105km ride has some quite challenging climbs that include the 8,7km road up to the world famous Madonna del Ghisallo (chapel of the patron saint of Cyclists). The route winds & twists its way around part of lake Como that's situated in the heart of the incredibly scenic Lombardy countryside.
