The Replica Breitling Windrider Chronomat Evolution Watch Alpe dHuez is featured in Alpine Classics

Even with web-connected real-time racing against actual people, and optional steering, it can still feel like youre playing an aerobic form of Wii, or stuck with a new intece for Second Life. But then someone had the breakthrough idea that became Real Life Video. For it, Tacx went out and filmed famous bike routes before major stage races. The Replica Breitling Windrider Chronomat Evolution Watch Alpe dHuez is featured in Alpine Classics, one of 14 DVDs currently available, sold separately (from $45, aebike.com). Climb the Gavia, the Mortirolo, and the Mont Ventoux. Race the Milan San Remo, the Flanders Tour, and Amstel Gold, complete with rowdy fans. Or, if youre not up to racing just yet, go on a training ride. In Almeria, Spain. With Team Rabobank.And coming soon, even better.

Tacx is calling it RL training, as in Real Life, the kind you see on MTV. What they mean is: you take your GPS, clock your normal training rides (or whichever you want to download from web sources like MapMyRide), and plug em in to the trainer. Your favorite rolling lunch-time loop? So what if its dark out: you can ride it at home. Might as well Replica Breitling A1335812-Q5-366A Windrider Chrono Men's Watch just run the whole thing off of Google street view -- wait, Tacx probably heard me.The Fortius is the mid-range of three VR-ready trainers, and costs €760. From your local retailer that can mean well over $1000, and rising as the dollar continues to plummet. Worth it? No more watching The Big Lebowski (again) while loading up on LSM through the winter months. This thing aint no Wii. More like wow.--Matthew Fishbane
