This is a workout video! Not a scenic trek. You're not a tourist, but an active participant in a 100 mile adventure through Colorado. Stop watching and start doing. You will be teleported into the virtual world of Colorado cycling where you will be faced with hills, wind, and people who are tougher and faster than you. So gear up, pedal and get ready to go the distance! While there are numerous reasons to visit Castle Rock Colorado, there is one particular annual event held in the city that's worth planning a vacation around. Named after a natural rock formation that resembles a towering elephant. the Elephant Rock Cycling Festival draws thousands participants from all over the surrounding areas. This is a great workout to build your base miles. It has a little bit of everything; sustained anaerobic efforts, multiple short sprint like climbs, solo efforts into the wind and enough pauses to recover to keep you energized and wanting to work more! Exclusive CVO heads up display dashboard - Real time heart rate
- Real time cadence
- Real time resistance
- Plus GPS map, speed, elevation and more!
Audio includes: - Track 1. Instruction over music and the antural sounds of the ride
- Track 2. Music over the natural sounds of the ride
- Track 3. The natural sounds of the ride
Please read customer reviews carefully, there are video demos in there.

BiTBoP Technology is a good thing, September 27, 2010
By Fiona (USA)
|
|
I ordered this not because I'm training to ride a century, but because I moved to an area that has a limited selection of spinning classes. I don't want to fight for a bike or get up at 5 a.m., so I got my own spinning bike and went searching for a decent DVD. I chose this set for a few reasons: 1) Real-time road footage of a 100-mile (century) bike tour through Colorado helps you visualize and focus. The superimposed graphic dashboard recommends appropriate cadence and resistance level. An aerial map tracks speed and elevation. A graphic of the hill profile gives you an idea of the type of climb you're facing. 2) The set comes with 4 DVDs, so you get variety with your workouts. Stage 1 is a 1-hour ride with rolling hills; Stage 2 is 1.5-hour ride with some more strenuous climbs; Stage 3 is a 2-hour ride with some intense interval-type climbs; Stage 4 is a 1-hour ride with yet more intervals. 3) The audio comes with three options: narration over music, just music, and only the road noise. The driving beat of the dance-style music keeps me focused. I don't recognize the songs, but I'm just glad that I don't have to listen to cheesy canned music! The director/narrator Paul Gallas uses BiTBoP technology (behind the bars of Paul) and rides along with you and a "cycle buddy" who always ditches us halfway through the ride (nice buddy!). You can tell by his huffing and puffing that Paul is also doing the ride, but I suspect that Paul was narrating from an armchair during Stage 4. He sounded a bit too comfortable and relaxed. If Cycling Videos Online produces more of these DVDs, I'd like a scene selection option so that I can break up the videos into smaller 1-hour chunks without too much guesswork.

ERocks REALLY does rock!, April 4, 2010
By Grayhog68 (Texas)
|
|
My husband and I have about seven other of Paul's DVD's for indoor cycling on a trainer. We enjoy all of them and they have greatly improved my cycling ability over this winter. All are a challenge if you use the DVD's correctly. Last week we received the ERock Rocks DVD's. While we have only had the chance to use the first stage DVD we can tell you unequivocally that WE ARE CRAZY ABOUT THESE DVD'S!!! Sorry for shouting but these DVD's are awesome. Paul does commentary throughout the whole ride and gives invaluable tips on training for a Century ride, or improving if you've already done a Century. We learned so much on just the first DVD. We love "riding with Paul" and having him coach us to being better riders. This is unlike any other cycling DVD for your indoor trainer. This is like having your very own coach. We cannot recommend the ERock Rocks DVD's highly enough.
Once again, Paul sets the bar and standard for other cycling DVD's. Great job!!!!

As Real as it Gets!, October 6, 2011
By Dan Peak (San Jose, CA)
|
|
I am a 65 year old male, and I have owned just about every kind of exercise equipment from jump ropes (two) to rowing machines (three). I've also had memberships to gyms. Along the way I've had three different exercise bikes. The best equipment so far is my spinner bike, but only because I discovered BitBop's videos. As anyone who has used exercise equipment knows, it is hard to get your heart rate up without some kind of outside direction - usually music. Paul's videos are far better than music alone. They're the best I have found. I don't think I have ever had my heart rate up over 90% of max for extended periods of exercise. For me, 90% is only 140 bpm, but I'm old. E Rocks is four videos with around 6 hours of ride, so there is plenty to keep it fresh. Nonetheless, after listening the sound tracks for umpteen hours, I found that I could put on my headset and listen to some groovy `60s music, so I could rock out to E Rock Rocks. Just listen to your tunes and match (or try to match) the cadences and tension as shown on the video screen, and you will be sweatin' buckets.

Biking for Life, January 23, 2012
By Richard
|
|
I hold you folks completely responsible for my biking addiction.
I am a 66 year old criminal defense attorney and Law Professor in the Chicago Metropolitan area. Though we don't have any mountains (and only a few hills) we do have some impressive-for-the-area Rails to Trails pathways, but lousy weather winters. However, I have a son who has a mountain guide ,skiing, climbing business in Durango, Colorado (Klingmountainguides.com) whom I try to visit at least a couple of time /year. His wife is the HR person at Durango Purgatory Ski Resort. Of passing interest is that when my son Josh, now 30, was 15 he and a group of kids biked from Virginia to Los Angeles which is where we discovered Durango en route.
Through a number of trips to Durango and surrounding areas I began looking on line for biking videos in the region and found you folks. The rest is history. I have either purchased or been given as presents "Indian to Girdwood," "Evergreen to Red Rocks," "E Rock Rocks," "Training to Climb, Rattlesnake Bite," "Laying Down the Hammer," "Training to Endure, Front Range...." and "Bay Area Backroads." I assure you my orders for the rest of your Colorado and the High Country videos are only a paycheck away.
I hold you completely responsible for my significant diversion from work and family, spending extra money for the videos, not to mention phenomenally better emotional and physical health and outlook and enjoyment of life in an otherwise flat topographically boring environment. I really appreciate your attention to detail, especially enjoy the narrated videos, and look forward to a long relationship. Have a great year.

fun ride, February 21, 2011
By kfitz

I really like these dvds. Sometimes I just like to listen to my ipod and with these dvds, all the info you need to know is on the screen. you really don't need to hear what the guy is saying. There are enough hills and sprints to get a great workout. Before you know it you've been spinning for an hour (or more).

The best!, August 2, 2010
By Ridin' or Hidin'?
|
|
I have purchased hundereds of items on Amazon but this is my first review, I'm that passionate about these DVDs. I have tried nearly every spinning/indoor workout DVD out there and these DVDs are by far the best. I get tired of having a guy with a stopwatch yell at me - - these DVDs are so much better; I actually get into the rides. The commentary is helpful and the fact that the narrator is actually doing the workout as well makes a huge difference. After trying Erock Rocks! I bought every one of Paul's DVDs - - I'm ready for Fall and Winter training!

 Good Work-Out, some graphics can be better, March 9, 2012
By gemper (Massachusetts USA)
|
|
I got this item for a gift. It does offer a good work-out and the narration is outstanding. The narrator tells you when you should up your resistance and how it should feel in your pedals. My only complaint is the suggested percentage heart rate number is to small to read from a distance beyond about 7 or 8ft and is in black, while the rpm is in bold red and can be read from 30 feet away. But in all fairness the the narrator does mention what your heart rate percentage should be through-out the video. So, the reason I am only giving this a 4 star is that the some of the graphics are hard to read from a distance.

Four GREAT Rides in One (Or One BIG Ride), March 6, 2012
By JHH (Medford, NJ United States)
|
|
As an avid cyclist who would typically takes the winters off, I thought a treadmill would get me through the winter. Unfortunately, the impact bothered my knees and I decided on a spinning bike. I wanted some sort of program to spin to, but watching a room full of people spinning away made no sense to me. That's when I found BtBoP!
The ERock disk set is awesome! You can do one disk/stage as a workout or combine them. Pause at the rest stop and finish the rest of the stage the next day. Whatever works for you. I've done each disk at least a few times - combining a couple for a longer workout when time permits - and really enjoy the entire set. Paul has a lot of good tips and motivates you through the ride, but you have the option to just listen to the sound track or the ambient sounds. Or, just put your headphones on and hammer to your own sound track.
I'm looking forward to getting out on the road to see the effect that this program has had on my "normal" riding performance. And on those days when it's ugly outside, it's great to know that I can head to the basement and get a great workout riding with Paul through Colorado.
Note: To get the most out of these programs, a heart rate monitor is very important.

No more clock watching, October 18, 2011
By Red Rider
|
|
Finally a video that not only produces results, but more important to me it makes the time spinning in the basement flyby. No more looking at the clock which never seemed to move when watching t.v. or listening to music. There is plenty of interaction in this video to keep you focused on the ride and nothing else. I have enjoyed Paul's video's so much at told my local bike shop about these and have recommended these to many of my friends.

 I rode all the ERock Rides!, February 7, 2012
By DEVOTED FAN
|
|
I'm sorry, but the quality of this product is way overrated. The picture and stats are far from being in fucus and it jumps all over the place. With todays HD capability, I was expecting that kind of quality for the price. The heavy breathing and the frequent cleaning of the NASAL cavity by the rider, could have been edited out, it was very distracting. It looks like home movie with a sooper 8 camera. I wish that I could get my money back. Ferenc

Best Workout You Can Do Indoors!!, January 10, 2011
By Nadine
|
|
I was given these DVD's as a gift from my husband and was thrilled to receive them. I have completed each disc (not all on the same day) and have each time received a great work out. I love the coaching along the road it has given me lots of good advice on how to prepare for a century ride. I have been doing spin classes for over 2 years now and recently purchased a road bike to enter into an up and coming century ride. I thought I had worked hard in the spin classes but these DVD's make me sweat like never before. I can feel myself gaining more strength and I look forward to winter passing and summer arriving to get out on the road again. I would recommend anyone who wants to work out at home to use these DVD's. I have been through them a few times now and have not tired of them one bit. Thanks Paul!

Fun, all around RIDE!, October 6, 2011
By J. Brock (USA)
|
|
Stationary bike riding can be the most boring thing ever if you don't have something to focus on. This was the first virtual bike ride DVD set I ever bought, and one of my very favorites. It is five and a half hours of riding. It encompasses everything, major hills, flats, rollers. Its the complete package and the picture is so crisp and clear. I was hooked when I bought this and now I'm addicted to these videos. The instructional narrative keeps you motivated and focused too. If you buy this one, you'll have to have them all!

 Has its moments, February 13, 2012
By Richard A. White (Indianapolis)
|
|
I bought these to help provide some distraction while riding on the trainer for the winter. Video is decent, and subject matter is good for the indoor riding -- good scenery, other riders, etc. I had no intent, nor do I use the heart rate, rpm, shifting suggestions, etc on these videos. I also listened to the cyclist's commentary once. Once was enough. Needs to chat less and ride more.
Provides a good distraction for an hour or so when you match it with your own tunes to keep you moving.
I will say that I'm glad I'm only riding with this guy via the DVD. He must be a BEAST on the cycle - he passes each and every rider he comes upon. However, he also has horrible riding manners. Half-wheeling, passing on the right, weaving all over the road when climbing hills, etc. I'd not want to be anywhere near this guy on the road - not that I could likely keep up with him anyhow.

Great, April 4, 2011
By seattle-k

I ordered the entire series and have done stage 1 and 2 so far. The series is easy to follow and gives you a great workout. I am very pleased with the product and would definitely recommend to others, especially if they are training for their first century ride. Stage 2 was 1 hour and 30 minutes and I barely noticed I was on my trainer that long. I am looking forward to what the rest of the series has in store.

These were surprising to me, April 13, 2011
By LaVerne Ombadykow (Canton, GA USA)
|
|
Having come from indoor spin classes, I guess I expected lots of scenery and spin music, so I was surprised when it's mostly one road after another ~ about 4 and 1/2 hours of road. Oh, well, I will use these DVD in between using just music as I spin at home.

I feel like I'm there!! Please make more!!, February 16, 2012
By Tyler Bennett
|
|
I LOVE this video collection. I'm a runner but due to an injury have been relegated to biking. It gets dark in the winter, so I hung a large pull-down screen in my garage in front of my trainer and use a projector to show this video in front of me. It's a large image and makes me feel like I'm really riding the race. This video is well-made, well scripted, the scenery is super and the frequency of other bikers makes it interesting, as does the videographer's companion cyclist, who I tell my kids is "my buddy" whenever he pops in the picture. Super job with this and please make more - makes the time go by quickly.

great with narration, October 18, 2011
By shanman (canada)

E-Rock Rocks Stage 3
I've only trained on these videos at an hour at a time, but really enjoy the visuals and effort data put on the screen. I especially like the narration, because it's a great motivator. the music seems a little plastic, but does go well with the efforts put on the screen. After each ride, I compare my heart rate data to the chart to evaluate how well I did. It's a great workout, but can't imagine doing the full 2 hour piece.
