well start the unboxing finish the easy part Ah why do you think this in my opinion this was the difficult part What do you think about packing the bikes in the trains I want to do it as a job From TAC in short we finally arrived in Cuneo after 5 hours of complete agony agony on the train and now we’re going towards Colle della Maddalena P enormous altitude 1630 pedaling Immense effort given the load but this is the show well arrived even the argentera 1700 m and it’s not over yet the last 300 m hairpin bends hairpin bends never end last mile and then you get to the refuge 100 1900 m conquered missing the last 100 what ‘s the matter? But what ‘s the matter after 7 hours completely torn apart Oh yes These 1617 m of altitude difference 70 km in half a day finally and more than 19 hairpin bends with the Maddalena and a few meters away there’s the fancia E you know what’s a few meters away the beer good and Now shower beer food where we left off last night we leave again the next day Colle della Maddalena second day today we arrive in France after a good night’s sleep today we’ll shoot ourselves 600 m of descent , like 20 km of descent _ _ Great Look at the type of asphalt it looks like gravel but in truth it isn’t It’s really asphalt a few more kilometers and you arrive at the lake Here we are almost at the lake the last few kilometers then we go down to eat the landscape speaks for itself Anyway I don’t know if you can see but here in France they have lettuce that grows from the asphalt incredible good We are arriving at sanin De Fort and we are going to eat But what are you doing Eh what are you doing putting Ao on your knee Ah here is the church Here it is Here it is good here Here we are for lunch This is our lunch these nice I don’t know what a waffle is a waffle a little with stuff on top a goffered a gofra what’s the name of the beer it’s here and so on and off and we proceed to the tasting 70 km done even today some absurd structures W seen Les Alp Here we are , another country conquered Dutch friends who have kindly left us a bus a free power hole and now let’s eat V this delicious creamy white risotto Mamma mia Butta Butta let’s go to the Unboxing that is the smell is good It’s really good good put it’s not here fve eh ah Noo here Boh anyway we’ll add this because we’re making two risottos 1 liter doesn’t fit in there So we put half a liter Then as it consumes we add the other half So good See you later Here it is the second round a very good one Milanese risotto with saffron and this is the view from our campsite it’s a spectacle the third day begins off and we head towards the lake I don’t know anything No okay VM where are we Look what a good place We have entered this hyper wild valley there is no nothing there is nothing just a few other cyclists uncontaminated nature we are in the middle of nowhere country that I don’t know what it is No okay Here we are in this incredible Canon this very deep gorge It’s incredible now we continue reluctantly we leave this truly magical magical place and continue down the valley always according to the stream which has water that inspires a bath but you have to go horses Los caballeros hot Now it’s very very hot eh descent good I’m in the middle of nowhere in a ghost town now we stop to eat farinazzo it’s hot this stage is hot bicetti but we’ve already done almost 50 km to see 57 km in that 2 hours and 37 2 and a half hours So in truth it’s very good we have to do another 50 more or less break and that’s it and today we get to the lake and two freshly baked baghettas incredible bagged absurd that is this bike does everything Oh yes when they sold it to you but me they sold it He told me look if you put the scout’s mat in it and it will be an oven for the baghette it’s toasted the bread is already toasted well Verdon We’re coming We’re coming P Here it is the pass 988 m Here the pass is done we’re going down Here we are good the other campsite also arrived we love like Saint Julien d’verton Wow me par Okay Met your name then we’ll put it in the post office and prepare the pasta Obviously with this beautiful Belfiori red pesto sauce But those gentlemen over there also gave a bit of their of sauce we will use now and also parmesan regiano gentlemen always said that I’m lucky and I’m not scratching calluses second round as you can see half a kg of pasta in two honestly it went from what good stuff Today Sunday quo day today we arrive at the gorge du Verdon one of the most panoramic points Oh well we’ll see after today a relaxed day C about fifty kilometers Today half a day of cycling badea just goes to the village up there Here we are in Castellan the laughing Castellan Look how beautiful things go for a ride Madonna beautiful finished in Castellan we are back in middle of nowhere next town is Verdon Look at that robova fume Look at that stuff Look at that stuff Wow and finally we are entering the Verdon gorge we are almost almost there Now the last climb is missing the last 400 m of altitude difference and then we go down to the lake and we’re going to take a bath Oh my God Look where we are well it just happened from the video you see before this the whole roof rack went backwards because the iron holding it on broke which is this we put on first This however since I’m on ropes rotten we also put this which is practically the lock of the bike and that’s it, then go for another lap km Exactly enough come on let’s go holda Yen 131 m conquered C Here we are finally after a descent Incredible Incredible Here it is the river Verdon Look at this place Now let’s go there and if we can we’ll take a nice cayc let’s go for a nice swim one further along here V a little more the lake than K Here is the famous bridge it’s an immense spectacle Oh my God in short we made it asap now stay Only to go home then we have to be there but as you can see there’s no one left because there’s a strong wind so they’ve closed they’re closing everything may seem strange but a Canon can also be closed and you see the guys there are doing exactly that and so nothing and therefore nothing Canyon on the only day we are here though In bad luck This is a good reason to come back another time Exactly So see you next day fifth day breakfast or fourth fourth fourth day Oh God we are starting to lose our sanity today yes arrives at the sea from this beautiful, hideous bathroom with the asbestos roof now we fly towards the direction of can No those can Bye bye lake we say goodbye to the Verdon lake And off we go towards Nice the environment has changed completely compared to the first days much more arid low trees before c it was fir conifers Now instead this is the kingdom of the Oak no Oaks everywhere there is no one Madonna This forest is beautiful eh Here it is pass 860 the last big climb conquered today too after an exhausting further climb Col de Saint Andre today is a very hard stage Ah there is a photonic heat so many kilometers to do We have to get to the sea and everything goes up come down everything goes up come down but the salts are very tiring and you go down Duran very little ah 100 km done 100 done today 15 more and we get to the sea Enough uphill enough And this one is defeated by the last climb we are carrying the bike by hand it’s too hard with all this luggage it’s impossible not even in Pantani We are reaching the last 6 km more or less cycle path next to the Côte d’ Azur university we have arrived on the last day Incredible but true the bike has held up for now and so have the Bosses In fact now I think they will be destroyed there are still the last 54 55 km to go eh very little bullshit and now we start all along the road aiming for 20 miles Ah yes passing through Nice Nice let’s stop for a moment at Bravo’s etc the cycle path Nice We’re coming Here we are niz main square What do you think of Nice B beautiful asag take a song towards Italy enter Monaco other status unlocked construction sites Here Here it’s all a construction site runto of Monaco beautiful new buildings Here we are in the lift in Monaco because there aren’t even any roads There are only the offenders 1 chom missing from Italy after crossing Monaco it took longer to cross Monaco than France than practically the whole of France Monaco bike friendly Zero rating Zero now We are aiming for Italy last meters minus 1 km B we see the border last
