Besides running Cycling Fusion Indoor Cycling, Gene Nacey also produces the Global Ride series of Indoor Cycling Class Videos. One of my favorites is the Pittsburgh Dirty Dozen climbing race. It features 13 “bring them to their knees” climbs that are perfect for your next climbing class. The countdown timers show the length of each interval as well as the length of each recovery.
Gene just sent me a link to a story about the Pittsburgh Dirty Dozen done by Pittsburgh TV station WQED. It has a lot of detail that you could use to really spice up your class narrative. I suggest saving it for the recoveries, no way you will be able to talk during the actual climbs, if you ride with your class like I do 
Awesome!!! I Want the music to this crazy ride! Freak Show…love it!!!
This is one of the hardest workouts I have come across, and I LOVE hard, aggressive climbs! It doesn’t get any easier..no matter how many times I do it. I do believe though, that I worked just as hard with Tom Scotto yesterday during the Winter Training class. Higher cadence = higher HR for me still but I’m getting better and more efficient at it the more I practice! Gene, Tom, John & Jen…you all rock!
I am still waiting for the dvd I order at ICPro … I would love being able to see it …
Hi Pascal,
contact Gene at Global Ride. ICI only refers people to the DVD companies and doesn’t fulfill orders. But I bet it’s just an oversight, and I’m sure Gene will send it ASAP.
It was an oversight indeed Pascal. The good news in, we’re sending a free Hawaii DVD as our way of making it up to you. Get your climbing legs ready!
(and Pascal, you’ll love that Hawaii DVD!)
Thanks Gino, I have annonced in my classe this evening that we will ride in Pittsburg and Hawai soon …
