"This box set is a must if you are thinking of riding any of these Sportive's, or for that matter any long hard ride in company or solo. You don't need to be in Italy, Spain or France to find these DVD's helpful and interesting and you never know they may get you off your ass and out on your bike! There is lots of information on the particular rides, even if you are planning to do them on a different day from the organized rides or over a longer time scale then the DVD's take you by the hand the whole way round the routes".

	MARATONA (ITALY) - THE TRILOGY BEGINS... Set in the heart of the truly stunning Dolomite mountain range, the Maratona may be a relatively short 138km in distance but it’s a course that’s steeped from start to finish in pure Giro d’Italia history. It wasn’t long before this event became the most prestigious on the Italian Gran Fondo calendar, but don’t be fooled by the spectacular scenery. With 4,200 meters of climbing, covering 7 mountain passes (including the Passo Campolongo, Pordoi, Selle and strength sapping Giau) you’ll certainly be forgiven for thinking this is an easy ride.

	QUEBRANTAHUESOS (SPAIN) - THE TRILOGY CONTINUES... Fierce headwinds, torrential downpours, brain numbing snow storms and the ever present bearded vulcher circling above make the Quebrantahuesos anything but an ‘easy ride’. Witness a war of attrition to make it to the finish before sunset, whilst Cotty provides a detailed analysis on how to conquer this bone crushing Pyrenean Sportive. 3,500 meters of climbing including the Somport, Marie Blanque and Portalet ensure that this 205km route keeps any cyclist entertained for the day (and maybe even the night!)

	MARMOTTE (FRANCE) - THE TRILOGY CONCLUDES. Every ride must come to an end, and there’s no better place for ‘The Trilogy’ to conclude as it climbs the infamous 21 hairpin bends to the summit of the legendary L’Alpe d’Huez. La Marmotte is regarded as one of the toughest Cyclosportive events on the calendar. A true test of character and stamina along the 174km circular route, with 5000m of climbing. Cotty’s valuable ‘on the road’ analysis and tips on energy conservation will help you reach the finish with just enough in reserve to salute the crowd and punch the air Armstrong style!
