Been saving this until I was in a state to actually enjoy it and it did not disappoint 😍 what a cracking video, a proper tribute to a wonderful part of the world, well beyond just the headline climbs and Instagram style snapshots. Thanks for sharing this, I'm in a bit of a funny mindset thinking about cycling at the moment but this was a cracking reminder of everything I love about it.
Thanks so much Nick, really glad I was able to capture that somewhat! Hope your recovery is going well, can't imagine how frustrating it all must be. But the hills aren't going anywhere and (as I'm sure you're probably sick of hearing) you'll be back before you know it!
Excellent, well done, LMAO at the guy on your wheel swinging like a barn door in a Gale when your wheel is rock steady 😂, we were there at the same time fir the Marmotte, I think we even stayed at the same site, I’m surprised you didn’t hear us, my friend is by far the loudest thing there, first thing one hears in the morning and last thing you hear in the evening 🙈 Great effort, well done
Thanks so much! Haha we had a group of partying cyclists next door for a few days who probably drowned out any other noise at the site 😆 hope you had a good Marmotte, thanks again!
Very cool rides and video! You hammer past people left & right - chapeau! The tunnels were bonkers! It's cool you did the HR Alpes '22; I did the HR Alpes '23 version & got destroyed. It was amazing to see the familiar climbs along with the lesser known ones too. What's your day job? I need a gig that lets me go to Europe and cycle more 😁
Thanks so much! The tunnels were certainly more than I'd bargained for 😨Last year's HR looked brutal, some massive days there! I'm a VFX compositor -- hopefully my actual work is to a higher standard than these videos though 😆Super appreciative of the ability to be remote/abroad (thank you Starlink!)
Absolutely amazing video! Thanks for creating it and writing the Guide - and wow, you make climbing look like so easy! 🙂 I started climbing in the eastern alps and work my way up to the west and this is so helpful! 🚵♂😍 One question: How do you create the overlays (cadence, heartrate, power etc)? Is this done with Garmin Virb? (thx!)
Thank you so much! I use Garmin Virb Edit although it can be a bit difficult to use as it's no longer maintained. For now it just about does the job but may have to look for alternatives in the future!
4th against the lads who sat on hehe. Good work!
Get a cat eye bm45. It will be a game changer for you.
Great video!
Coming 4th was very impressive a natural born climber as was I many moons ago. Love the videos 👍
Great video, cant wait for St Jean de Maurienne in June! Madeleine is a vicious col like Ventoux.

You make an epic series of rides look easy 😊

Nice surprise
Can you elaborate in the amount and type of training that you do to be in this kind of shape?
