Cyclefilm The Italian Job: ARE YOU UP TO THE JOB? TO TRY IT WOULD BE CRAZY! TO DO IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE! Are you ready to take on half a dozen of the hardest, meanest and toughest Gran Fondos Italy has to offer? Cyclefilm will once again take you on a full route reconnaissance of six legendary events available on three double DVDs. Together with luxury cycling holiday operator LA FUGA, follow us from the beautiful shores of Lake Como to the stunning peaks of the Dolomites, onto the rolling hills of Tuscany and down to the sandy beaches of Emilia Romagna. ARE YOU IN OR OUT? PART ONE - L'EROICA & NOVE COLLI DVD ONE L'EROICA CICLOTURISTICA Your first Job is to ride the famous 'strada bianche' of the L'Eroica Cicloturistica in the heart of Tuscany. The 15 gravel sections spread across the stunning 205km course seek to recreate the golden age of cycling. Grab your most vintage bike, a woolly top and refuel with bread and brandy while tackling over 3,800m of climbing! DVD TWO GRAN FONDO NOVE COLLI Your second Job is to participate in Italy's most popular Gran Fondo, the Nove Colli. Don't be fooled by the casual beach atmosphere of the event headquarter Cesenatico! This is a hilly Fondo! The nine classified climbs come think and fast and although the highest point at 791m is no Alp, the constant undulations are sure to take their toll on you. PART TWO - MARCO PANTANI & GIRO DI LOMBARDIA DVD ONE GRAN FONDO MARCO PANTANI Your third Job is to travel to Marco Pantani territory and ride the appropriately named Sportive in his honour. With two of Italy's toughest and most feared climbs on the agenda - the Mortirollo 12km @ 10.5% and the Gavia 17km @ 8% - you can surely crown yourself 'King of the Mountain' just for finishing the impressive 172km percorso lungo. DVD TWO GRAN FONDO GIRO DI LOMBARDIA Your fourth Job is to travel to the luxurious shores of Lake Como and cycle the rolling roads of the classic Giro di Lombardia Gran Fondo. At 143km and 1,900m of climbing, one could almost call it a 'casual' Fondo. Enjoy the panorama lake views over Bellagio and visit the famous church and cycling museum atop the Madonna del Ghisallo climb. PART THREE - PINARELLO & CAMPAGNOLO (SPORTFUL) DVD ONE GRAN FONDO PINARELLO Your fifth Job is to go celebrity spotting at the Gran Fondo Pinarello. With stars from racing days gone by, don't be surprised to be exchanging turns with Miguel Indurain or Michele Bartoli as you power your way back towards Treviso, outside Venice. With your Gran Fondo mission almost complete, why not toast your success with a glass of local Prosecco! DVD TWO GRAN FONDO CAMPAGNOLO (SPORTFUL) Your sixth and final Job is to relive part of cycling history at the GF Campagnolo (aka Sportlful) staged in the unforgiving Dolomite region where Tullio Campagnolo invent the quick release mechanism on that fateful day on the Croce d'Aune. At 215km and 5,000m of climbing, a truly worthwhile conclusion to your Italian Job mission.

Cyclefilm The Trilogy Vol. 2 Quebrantahuesos Dvd Dvds Cyclefilm Cyclefilm The Trilogy Vol. 2 Quebrantahuesos DVD: The Trilogy continues...What was that saying? "It always looks easy on television" Well the truth couldn't be further this time as you join Michael Cotty and the Cyclefilm team on their scouting trip across the Spanish and French Pyrenees.

Highly regarded as one of the toughest Cyclosportive events on the calendar, and covering many iconic roads as featured in Le Tour de France, you'll need to successfully ascend two of the hardest mountain passes in the Alps (the 1,924m Col du Glandon and the mighty 2,645m Col du Galibier) before even contemplating the final ascent of the day. La Marmotte is a true test of character and stamina for even the fittest of riders and there's plenty to learn on the 174km circular route, with 5000m of climbing. Cotty's valuable 'on the road' analysis and tips on clothing, nutrition and energy conservation will go a long way in ensuring you reach the finish with just enough in reserve to salute the crowd and punch the air Armstrong style! Bonus Features include Part 3 of the 'Sportive Survival Guide', providing insightful information on getting the most from a big day in the saddle, and uncut 'Bullet Cam' footage, giving a real-time preview of all the climbs and descents in their entirety.
