Advent calendar

Behind the 18th door of the Advent calendar is the video Col du Sanetsch at half price.

St. Nicolas Video

The biosphere tour leads as a circular route from Dahn from the southern part of the biosphere reserve Palatinate Forest between the Wieslauter in the east, the Sauer in the south and the small brooks Fischbach and Moosbach in the west and north. The biosphere tour uses these four stream valleys as comfortable stretches, but must overcome their watersheds in two climbs, which happens on quiet, own ways without any traffic.

New downloadpackage

With the Biosphere Tour there is also a new download package with all new videos released since September.

TTS4 end of support

Tacx has announced that it will discontinue support for this software on 31.03.2019 and that with a Windows 10 'Major Update' there is a risk that videos will no longer run. But it doesn't have to happen. If you use Windows 7 you won't get any problems. If you are still thinking about switching to the Tacx Desktop App, take a look at the reviews. Instead I recommend the open programs like Rouvy or GoldenCheetah.

Two new videos

Where once snorted steam locomotives, today we ride through the unique volcanic landscape of the Eifel from the Moselle valley to Daun. From a lovely vineyard landscape it goes over viaducts and countless bridges, through tunnels and cool deep Eifler forests, past deep blue crater lakes and extinct volcanoes.
Menorca West is the first of three RLVs from Menorca, a small island to the east of Mallorca. This one starts and ends at Cap d'Artutx, close to one of the seven famous lighthouses on the island.

New feature: double packs

Some of the tracks I have filmed are divided into several Real Life Videos due to their length. The purchase of the total distance, thus both RLVs, is now possible for a total price reduced by 5 euro. Currently this applies to the route Valldemossa - Deià and the North-Baltic-Sea-Canal. Soon the Mittelrhein Bikeway will be added.

New action offer

With the current action offer you can choose from 21 different download versions 3 videos for the total price of 39 euros and save up to 9 euros.

Two new wintertime videos

With the beginning of the winter time the training time becomes longer. Therefore there are again 2 new videos. The Jederman race of the Germany Tour on August 26th of this year follows on parts of the original track of the professionals. Before their final stage, around 3,000 hobby cyclists tackled the course. The video Around Untersee leads us around the smaller of the two lakes of Lake Constance. This is a very varied route with always beautiful views of Lake Constance.

The new videos for season 2018/2019

Today the first videos of the new training season will be released. First of all, these are two more videos from the Mallorca collection: The Track Port d'Andratx - Fornalutx (which will be continued later with another RLV up to Cap Formentor) and the circuit Alcudia - Sineu - Alcudia. A flat and relaxed route in the Rhine plain is the Palatia cycle path from Speyer to the Palatinate Forest. The Mühlviertel in Austria is a quite challenging route from Passau to Linz. The Gonso Classic is a long-established mountain bike race on the Swabian Alb. Djursland, finally, is a large peninsula on the east side of Jutland, Denmark.

With the new videos also the package offers were arranged again. So there is now first and foremost a Mallorca DVD and a Mallorca Download package.

Strava and Garmin Connect Support

Due to regular requests for the presentation of the route and the height profile of workouts on Strava, I have built a tool that can be used to prepare TCX activities exported from the Tacx Trainer Software for Strava, Garmin Connect and similar portals. The processed files then have to be uploaded into the portal. The processing works for all predefined sections (even if you have aborted them). Self-defined routes work with the correct starting point. Also, of course, it only works for my videos. And here is the TCX processing.
