Good to see you back sharing videos, even if your arm is still strapped.
maybe my favorite bike vlogger
just exciting, relatable, motivating, informative
I discovered you after taking a wrong turn onto Chemin de la Crémaillère and then checking who the crazies were who had ridden that segment. I ended up hiking the rough section of the road up to La Turbie. Great content!
now i know… rides that try to cram in as much climbing as possible, allowing for U-turns & dead-end roads/paths/tracks are officially called "Wall Challenge rides"
Your editing has always been amazing but this is next level.. Your cycling is good too 🙂
Man the editing and animations are epic, you deserve a lot more viewers!
NY whiteface hill climb race in your future? its a great race.
Throwback photos!!
That was one epic ride!!! Very cool
Illi with the Egan shoutout! 😀😀
I'm crying in pain sitting at home watching you.
A heart rate of 198 would probably finish me 🙁
The horse jump scare got me 😂
Wow. Impressive stuff. I jog many of those hills but have no idea how you can possibly cycle them. You might like to take a look at Chemin de Sotto Baou (short up then down), and Chemin de Grima (short down then up). You can also go under the top bit of the La Turbie railway and try Chemin de Fontvielle which I call "250 paces to Hell". Then over by the Vista Palace road there is the Chemin Romain Superieur followed by the Chemin Roman although the Superieur might not be steep enough. Have fun 🙂
My Garmin says 'overtraining', just watching this video 😳 … Love the edit, animations and commentary, btw 😊👍
