On The Canal, Part 4 of 6 (ABB102)


Title:
On The Canal, Part 4 of 6 (ABB102)

Description:
On the Canal, Part 4 of 6: We're a hundred miles from our starting point in Washington DC as we roll through Fort Frederick and Hancock, Maryland. Cumberland is closer than Georgetown now, but there's no hurry as we linger through the beautiful scenery and rich history along the way. And a generous meal in Hancock awaits us now at the end of Day Two. Remember that this entire program is available with extra features in full-quality DVD by checking out John's website at OnTheCanal.org. Parlez-vous le français? We first enjoy a European hello from Denis Chazelle (aka "Super Frenchie"), a member of Paris-based Frappadingues. This is a fun mountain biking club that plans informal rides in the French countryside using an online discussion group which we'll hear more about soon. Merci très beaucoup, Denis! Nous espérons vous voir à Paris! Then a quick peek at a new way to train in your living room. With a similar philosophy to freeweights, training rollers leave the bike loose, allowing you a more natural cycle training experience and a better (if more careful) workout. Looks like fun!
