Press Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Global Ride Announces Next Virtual Cycling DVD Series Jan 23, 2009 Global Ride has announced the next series in their line of virtual ride DVDs will showcase Italy, taking riders on a journey through Veneto and one of Italy’s smallest regions: the Ligurian coast. “Most people don’t like staring at walls, watches, clocks or sweaty butts while they suffer through an indoor cycling class,” says Global Ride. “Even many training DVDs still have you looking at butts or getting yelled at. Ours are different.” The feedback to the Hawaii series has been overwhelmingly positive, both from individuals and club owners utilizing the technology in their group cycling sessions. The Italy series promises to capitalize on Global Ride’s standards of quality established by their Hawaii Series; high-energy commercial music, a first-person perspective that moves at the rider’s pace, superior butt-free video that isn’t overwhelmed by graphics, bonus yoga/pilates/strength training sessions and multiple selectable coaching tracks provided by a new team of professional cyclists. The DVDs are professionally designed to provide superior training for indoor or outdoor cyclists. The series is to be released as three DVDs, available separately (US$29.95) or in a boxed set containing all three (US$74.95). A specific release date is TBA, but it is expected to launch before the end of this year’s winter training season.
