To the best of my understanding, VV rides are totally unreal. LOL

Virtually Real I'd say. "Totally unreal" has connotations (to me:) of being not at all real - of being not real - of being the opposite of real.

Virtually Real, on the other hand, has connotations (to me:) of being real in some aspects, especially in our perception of some or all of it. The better job we do with the completeness of the sensorial coverage of "virtually", the more difficult it is to distinguish b/t "virtually real" and "actually real" -- if entrants in the Very Virtual Endurance Rides change their behaviors b/c of that participation, then their reality has virtually shifted a bit ... but really, what does it really REALLY matter if you're having a good time:)

(p.s ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_principle and the recent announcement of a suggested proof statement: http:// www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/02/090203130708.htm b/f you entirely reject the above virtually complete coverage of the really difficult topic of real!!)
