    Switzerland|Spring ’24: The Grand Tour|Day 3/Part 2|Wolfgang|Splügen|Julier and San Bernardino Pass



    Greetings YouTube! Hit that subscribe button and join me as I continue the third day of my Swiss Grand Tour. Today is all about riding in the mountains… Twisty switchbacks, glorious asphalt, stunning scenery, more bikes than you could possibly count and snow… lots and lots of snow! I’ll be riding the Wolfgang Pass, Splügen Pass, Julier Pass and San Bernardino Pass. And all of this before bedtime… if only I could find somewhere to stay…

    THIS SERIES WAS FILMED BEFORE MY ORIGINAL BMW R1200 GS ADVENTURE WAS STOLEN

      I really don’t know what to make of you. It’s a battle of endurance and you just don’t know when to stop. Don’t you have any medication for your hay fever? You’ve had a poor looking tuna sandwich and now you’re going to refuel after a very long day (far too long) with a pizza. There’s no helping people like you is there. What’s the point of the trip for YOU?

      Good video series, looking to do something similar next year, question – what was the night time temperature when camping. In two minds whether to camp or not, or If I should try and book sites in advance. I don't think I could do what you have done. However, keep up the good work, its great watching the touring videos 👍

      I know how you do it Steve because you take us with you.

      But I dont know how you do it 😊. Phenomenal adventures you have , a real inspiration. Thank you.

      Regards to your Ben and the rest of your family😊. Ride Safe Sir.

      I rode over the Fluela pass in the opposite direction earlier this year, after riding the Stelvio Pass, and I have to agree with you that it is the most fantastic biking road. My friend and I both said that while the Stelvio Pass was the most incredible awe inspiring road, the Fluela Pass was actually the better biking road. As you say a most incredible ribbon of tarmac to ride 👍

      I salute you for your attitude of going at your own pace and not feeling that you have to speed up to look the part. Looks like a lot of those bikes are sports so clearly they know the roads.

      What a trip, lucky guy!
      In Northern Ireland here we just do a nod of the head.😎
      Another tip the doc gave me for hay fever that I didn’t think of is wash your face often, sounds simple but that one does work a bit for me.

      Steve, I feel I’m struggling to support you on these long days , you give me anxiety watching these trips, let me explain myself. I feel, rather than doing a long trip like this you could benefit from investing in an advanced riding course. You tend to take the racing line so often and it places you and oncoming traffic in dangerous positions, you get far too close to the middle of the road on left hand corners and you would have a much better view of the road if you were further over to the right hand side of your lane. You are also getting very tired during these long days and because you’re getting tired, you make small mistakes, such as booking your day’s camping for the wrong day (hats off to you for showing it) but you’re pushing yourself too hard, not resting, not eating properly, your brain needs a rest too. I just feel you’re going to have an accident on one of these days. We’ve already seen you have your bike stolen because you’ve not been thinking straight at the end of the day. Obviously, none of us want this to happen, at the end of the day it’s your life to ride, I would just like you to give it some thought and stay safe on the road. All the best for 2025. Happy New Year.

      Hello! I'm really enjoying your channel, it's been entertaining and very informative. Last year, I followed in your tyre tracks on a run from the UK to Napoli. I didn't have the opportunity then to spend a great deal of time in the Alps, but I'm heading back this June so this recent series has been a good source of information.
