Buddy Base Ride |
NEW! Buddy Base Ride: 2:36 hrs
Sometimes, especially in the early season, you just need some steady miles and
riding with just a few buddies is a great way to get them. The pace is easier to
control, and you can get some recovery from your long pulls at the front. This is
a ride through scenic west Quebec on a bright spring morning. Hold-on tight for
the roller coaster hills we encounter around Lac McGregor. This ErgVideo is part
of our new Base/Tempo training packs! (BuddyBaseRide) Jump

California Spring Training |
NEW! California Spring Training: 2:16 hrs
We catch up to 2007 Canadian Road Champ Cam Evans of 2002 Champ Andrew Randell of
the Symmetrics Pro Cycling team in
beautiful Sunnyvale California for some awesome base-endurance riding. They invite
buddies Mark Hlady and Dominic Valela along for a spin up, down and around old-LaHonda.
This is set-up as a very steady Endurance Zone 2 ride, but we prefer increasing
the threshold setting so that Old LaHonda really bites the legs in a Tempo-zone
workout. Try it when your base is complete! Warning: depicts cyclists occasionally
without helmets. Don't send us e-mail, we know already. (CaliforniaSpringTraining)

some big motors from the Ride with Rendall team for this very hilly
ride under spectacular

Sample Pyramid Intervals |
Pyramid Intervals: 2:12 hrs
An intervals session led by Robert Orange of the Ride with Rendall Team.
Pyramid intervals are sets of efforts and rests that get progressively longer,
and then taper down again. The timing and intensity determine the performance factor
that's trained. RobbieO executes a pyramid for anaerobic power development, another
for max aerobic power development, and another for threshold/endurance development.
Use the ErgVideo ride designer to set several repetitions of the pyramid addressing
the factors you need to develop at different periods in your training season.
Filmed in the Rideau Lakes region of Eastern Ontario. See our page on Interval Training for more info. (PyramidIntervals)

Sample Short Intervals |
Short Intervals Training Session #1: 1:06 hrs
This ErgVideo is shot entirely from a follow vehicle, in high quality and on a beautiful sunny evening. The
very muscular Paul Datars leads you on a MASSIVE scheduled intervals ride consisting of 30 second
efforts, with one minute rest. He'll do them in four
sets of seven intervals each...and then he throws in a town-sign sprint for good measure. If
that's not enough for you, use ErgVideo's looping-repeat feature to add as many intervals as
you like...Paul won't get tired! A hard but beneficial training session if you're looking to
improve your top-end aerobic power. Filmed in the flatlands just south of Canada's Capital city.

Sample Boys Gatineau |
Boys Wet n' Wild in the Gatineau Park: 2:24 hrs
Master men and women in a rainy road race in the Gatineau park (see
www.ottawabicycleclub.ca). Our hero crashes in the first 500m! Chase back with him through the race caravan, and latch onto the pack just in time for the first big climb!
Hilly race with some real challenges. Fairly steady riding, but lots of hills, great for hill training. (GatineauMale_2006)

Sample Grand Prix de Blaineville |
Grand Prix de Blaineville: 1:38 hrs
Probably the coolest racing ErgVideo of the 2007 season. Osmond Bakker coming off of a
spectacular performance the day before is a marked man in this Pro-Am field, featuring
many of Canada's best. See Coupe de la Paix Cycliste.
The course is a double dog-bone layout that climbs and descends a monster 12% hill
33 times. A true leg breaker, and great for hill training too!(GPBlaineville)

Sample Lynn Road Race |
Lynn Road Race: 2:19 hrs
An early springtime road race in the rural Eastern Ontario township of Lynn. Ever wonder what's it
like when a breakaway has too many riders? The attacks continue thick and fast,
till mostly everyone cracks! Osmond Bakker is aggressive again, and succeeds to bring you into the final selection.
This is a long one, so long our batteries died before they could catch the sprint.
It's an awesome classic-style, echelon-filled, spring road-race experience nonetheless. Very intense.

Sample Mac's Attacks |
Mac's Attacks: 2:18 hrs
Pro-Am level race that allowed all categories. Raced on a F1-style auto circuit. See
www.cyclelogikracing.com This one is aggressive and long. You'll ride in
a few breakaways; our hero #2 was also a significant factor in the race, and always
rode at the front of the very big bunch. A clinic on good race-positioning to be
there when it all goes down!(Speedway_POV_Mac) Jump to Purchase page! |

Criteriums
|
Sample Criterium A1 |
Criterium A1: 1:10 hrs
Local A-level series on rectangular Criterium course. Mixed category, but these
races are staged for 1st-tier riders and top-level women. See
www.seenite.org. Aggressive riding right from the start, and you avoid
the crash before the sprint. This is great for race-training and for unstructured
intervals work. Big efforts over threshold, just like a real bike race! (ACrit_2006)
Jump to Purchase page!
|
Sample Criterium A2 |
Criterium A2: 1:07 hrs
Local A-level series
on rectangular Criterium course. Mixed category, but these races are staged for
1st-tier riders and top-level women. See www.seenite.org.
A little less aggressive than Criterium A1, but lots of close-in action that
really feels like you are mixing it up tight-in with the best. Fast, smooth cornering
that'll make you lean! This is great for race-training and for unstructured intervals
work. Big efforts over threshold, just like a real bike race! (NRC_Crit_2006)
Jump to Purchase page! |
Sample Criterium B1 |
Criterium B1 and TTT with TrixieK: 47min and 23min
Local B-level series
on rectangular Criterium course. Mixed category and lots of women. These races are
staged for 2nd-tier riders, Masters and women. See
www.seenite.org. The main difference is the foracity of the attacking;
chases are shorter-lived, so interval efforts are shorter-lived. Our hero rode especially
close and tight to bring out the very best in ErgVideo's capabilities, and he managed
to win the sprint! This is great for race-training and for unstructured intervals
work. Big efforts over threshold, just like a real bike race! It's short, so we
package the TTT with TrixieK with it. See the TTT with TrixieK description later on this page.

Criterium B2 |
Criterium B2 and TTT with TrixieK: 55min and 23min
Local B-level series
on rectangular Criterium course. Mixed category and lots of women. These races are
staged for 2nd-tier riders, Masters and women. See
www.seenite.org. The main difference with the A-Crit is the foracity
of the attacking; chases are shorter-lived, so interval efforts are shorter. Our
hero again rode especially close and tight to bring out the very best in ErgVideo's
capabilities. He caught some dicy moves! This is great for race-training and for
unstructured intervals work. Big efforts over threshold, just like a real bike race!
It's short, so we package the TTT with TrixieK with it. See the TTT with TrixieK description

Sample Glen's Criterium 2007 |
Glen's Criterium 2007: 1:08 hrs
Ride a criterium trackie-style with 5-time National Champion Glen Rendall. Glen's confidence
to ride anywhere in the pack and still brilliantly respond to all the important attacks of
the race is really something to experience for yourself. He puts in some intense surges to
close gaps and bridge to the key breakaways. Watch the "Ride with Rendall" lead-out train form
to bring teammate Sean Wakefield to victory, and Glen himself to third.(GlensACrit_07)

Sample Italian Festival Grand Prix |
Italian Festival Grand Prix: 1:40 hrs
Often known as the "Preston Street Race" this is a fixture on the Canadian Pro-Am racing circuit. Hosted by
Bike Race Ottawa and attended by the very best in Canada, this year's race featured a tight, six-corner course, and nice big crowds!
Race through Ottawa's little Italy in the aggressive style of none other than Osmond Bakker. You spend the first hour in the break that goes from the gun.
This is aggressive and HARD, but that's what it takes to win! Check the sample video. Our camera was over-tilted, and rectangular masking after de-tilt removed too much of the
great crowd and scenery. So we only de-tilted it so you have a level view of the world, when Os was in "level-flight".(ItalianFestivalGP)

Mac's Criterium 2007: 1:08 hrs
Big Mac is back...and on the attack! Warren MacDonald plays super-domestique in the same event as "Glen's Criterium 2007".
If you have any illusions that a team-player's job is easy, think again. You'll bury yourself like Warren did to protect
key riders and control the pack from the front. This ErgVideo is especially cool since you see lots of team tactics
played-out before you, with the Ride with Rendall boys taking turns with the Cyclery.ca team to put the serious
hurt on everyone else. (MacsACrit_07)

Triathlons & Time Trials
|
Sample Four Man TTT |
Four Man Team Time Trial: 1:27 hrs
We think this is the best of the best of all ErgVideos. Ride with Rendall fields
a powerhouse team, including multiple national and provincial champions. Filmed from two helmet cams at the Quebec TTT championships, you get a dual view of the action.
The TTT is probably the hardest and fastest road event of all, and it's great over-under threshold work for roadies, TT specialists, and
Triathletes alike. The speed is incredible.
We like this one so much we've posted an extra long, extra special preview clip, with sound!

Sample Lake Placid with a Champ |
Lake Placid with a Champ: 2:30 hrs

Sample Muskoka Half |
NEW! Muskoka Half: 2:45 hrs
Another National Champion from the Ride with Rendall crew. This time it is 2008
Canadian Women's Long Course Triathlon Champion, Cynthia Wilson. She rides the new
Muskoka Half bike course, which is a little longer than offical distance. She rides
with a strong and impeccably smooth style. The ride starts out hard among short
steep hills, but settles down on the flatter highways. The sting in the tail is
a return to the hills once again. (MuskokaHalf) Jump to Purchase

Sample Muskoka Tri |
Muskoka Triathlon Course: 1:30 hrs
We join legendary ex-pro triathlete Ian Fraser as he tames the unrelenting hills of the famous Muskoka Tri (Chase) course. Ian is
as fit and trim as ever, and he shows you how it's done. Muskoka is probably the most psychologically challenging of all triathlons in the world: hill after hill, and trees, trees, trees.
Between the trees?...more hills of course! If your head can handle this course, it can handle any course. This ErgVideo will be your edge!

This is another one that triathletes and duathletes will enjoy. We follow Osmond Bakker and Detlef Hess on a scenic 40km gently rolling course
in Calabogie Ontario. Events presented by the Almonte Bicycle Club. Two different TT styles are shown.
You finally get to SEE Os Bakker and his powerful style. Detlef's race has real nail-biting drama with a head to head scrap with Erich Zappe, all the way from the turnaround! Very tense, you'll be cheering him on for sure.
