Join GCN as we tackle the legendary Veneto Gravel, a massive 710km bikepacking route that showcases the best of Italy’s historic landscapes. From the foothills of the Dolomites to the wetlands of the Venice Lagoon, we push through thunderstorms and long days in the saddle to complete this beautiful loop in just three days. Along the way, we sample the region’s finest fuel—including the original tiramisu—and put the new Orbea Terra and Tailfin luggage system to the ultimate test.

  1. What an incredible journey! Veneto Gravel really proves that Italy is a paradise for gravel riding. 🇮🇹 Which part of the route looked the most tempting to you—the Dolomites foothills or the Venice Lagoon? Let us know your favorite bikepacking destination in the comments! 👇

  2. Absolutely living the dream – Italian scenery, Italian food and Italian Beavers ….. man’o’man’o’man …. I need to up my life game

  3. What does Conor Dunne have shoved into the top of the back of his cycling jersey? At about 28 minutes into the video he has a warm monkey 🐒 snuggled into his cycling jersey on his back while Conor is pedaling uphill!

  4. Italy is stunning and that was a great video. It would be good to see a "Behind the scenes" video of how you got there with all your cycling gear.

  5. What a perfect rendition of a super beautiful and interesting trip! It´s actually a good idea for a bike tour for me and my wife, not in three days obviously ;-). Loving the camera work and the editing too. Cheers from Berlin/Germany!

  6. As a Canadian I am shocked that you saw a beaver. As usual I learned something unexpected from a GCN video. Also, can you just random camp in a vinyard? Wild.

  7. After an hour of internet surfing about Veneto Gravel following my review of this video, I've come back to say- well played. My next spring vacation has been planned.

  8. Conor ordered pasta AND risotto — in Italy. You don't order two starch dishes. He's lucky he wasn't hauled away by the Policia!

  9. Such a beautiful area. I was in Bassano in October and rode trough Asolo, Foze, Asiago, Marostica, la Tisa and the Disel Farm climb. And the food was excellent, no Scotch Eggs, Spaghetti hoops and paint stripper. LOL

  10. Oh Connor – I LOVE THIS ONE!!!!!!!!! I visited Italy in 1980 ( yes, I'm old as heck) – and this brought back such amazing memories! I looked at my husband and said "OMG – I want to go back so badly!". I adore your bike packing adventures. So much fun!!! We love ALL the presenters on GCN, but you hold something very special for my hubby and I. We just adore your gentle ways, and I love how you just get so so red when you get tickled about something or get embarrassed! Keep it up my friend! Everyone loves Connor!
