Starting in Chamonix at the bottom of Mont Blanc, we thought it would be a cool idea to cross two borders and ride through three countries. It got pretty tough.

You could’ve done this with the Netherlands Belgium and Germany in around 10 seconds haha!
He could've litterialy be in 3 countries at the same time there 😂
I did it today haha
Yes.. 3 landen punt. 🤪
They could add Luxemburg while they're at it
he could do that from every country with atleast 2 neighbour countries
You missed the Le Châtelard Emosson climb after col des Montets, I did the same ride 6 weeks ago. Well done I know how tuff it is. How about that decent from Saint B to Marigny it's super but then the climb back up the Forclaz (long side) on heavy legs isn't great. 🤣😂
Great video Cam, Chris should of completed it with you, would of been good that you both got to Italy as he would not of needed the battery on the way back.
Er ye he did... The second climb on the way back was horrendous worse than the 40km climb
Italy Slovenia Austria Hungary Croatia
Had to give this video a dislike! No need for that avert in the video, that had nothing at all to do with cycling! I know you have to make money, but still!
Not really, cyclist shave, usually a little more often and more places, and you're still helping Cam, all interaction, even negative, pushes it higher on the algorithm.
Watch on a pc and you can just tap the right arrow a few times and never see the ad spot.
If he does Raid Shadow Legends, I'm out, unsub, lmfao.
you can do 5 in 180km: Germany-Austria-Liechtenstein-Switzerland-Italy
edit: just realised that you can do it in only 150km: Germany (north of Bregenz) to Passo della spluga (Italy). Passo della spluga is really beautiful by the way!
Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, France in about 200k as well, double if you want to go back to your starting location.
This Video is such a great ad for e-bikes.
Two mates of different abilities able to enjoy an epic ride together.
I may have spoken too soon
😂 😂 😂
Think you need to ask the man who should have charged it up... Maybe he forgot to fully charge it!!!
You should be able to do five! France Luxembourg Belgium Germany and the Netherlands.
Skip the Netherlands to do four, but then it wouldn’t really be a challenge...
I recommend having a look at the following route: Metz - Maastricht
Bit flatter and more boring though
04:55 There is no "Swiss" language. In fact, Switzerland has four national languages: German, French, Italian and Romansch, spoken in different parts of the country respectively. There is "Swiss German", officially just a dialect of German (but could at least nearly be considered a separate language), spoken in the German part of Switzerland, that is to say in the center and north of the country. However, you were riding through the French part of Switzerland I believe, so people there would be speaking mostly French. "Salut" or "bonjour" would thus be the correct way to greet people. "Grüezi" is the way to greet people in Swiss German btw.
10:52 Switzerland, Italy, France etc. are in the Schengen area, mate. Unlike at the Britain-France border, there are no mandatory border checks there. In terms of Covid-19, there are some restrictions for people coming from very high risk areas (like the US or something), but you being a cyclist that probably seemed unlikely to the border guard. Other than that, the border has now been open to France and Italy for a while now.
Andrew Oakeshott 🙄
Nice
Dutch people: ‘is this even a challenge?’
lol!!
@@Cameron_Jeffers Hey Cameron. One of my training rides for the Tour De Mont Blanc was the Bill Nickson chainy on Thursday nights. I bet you didn't expect a comment as specific as this did you. 330km in one day was certainly a day to remember. The top of the Grand St. Bernard was the halfway point of the ride!!! It was a mind boggling day out. People ask me how it compared to the Manchester-to Blackpool bike ride as a reference and I am not sure quite how to answer it. Descending at 5.00am in the pitch black, 1 hour descents of The Grand St. Bernard. Makes Parbold hill seem a bit tame!!!!
Hello in "swiss"? Really, in SWISS? 🙄
I noticed too
Kkkkkkk
Post Brexit Britain eh
german/french/italia or anything in between. That better?
i was on a camping next to swiss people and i could not really understand ut and my german us decent so is my french and i know it wasnt italian
@@kyanclaessens4777 might've been "schwiitzer dütsch" (swiss-german) which is like an accent. "Grüezi" is hello in Swiss-german!
40km descent is what dreams are made of.
The half tunnel is called „gallery“
You could’ve done 4 countries in 40km with Lichenstein, Switzerland, Austria and Germany
Still D.R.E as backround music, bold!
Rocking that Irish passport... Brexit innit 😉
Well... You did.
And you tried, and you did a quite huge part of the climb ! I'm surprised you could do that much with one charge. Well done !
@@PierreAlainMaire thanks Pierre... if we'd had electric at the camp site I'd have probably made it!!
4:50 welcome to europe mate
A 40km climb sounds like torture. Longest ride I've done on a road bike is half that (you inspired me to get a road bike). Still getting used to longer distance riding though, and I absolutely hate climbs.
About 2 years ago I went to kanderstag in Switzerland for an scout camp it was beautiful n amazing. Lovely views everywhere would recommend it
Kandersteg is one of the most beautiful places in the world. I've stayed there in the scout chalet quite a few times. It's an experience I will treasure for the rest of my life
Cam, can you let your viewers know what sort of gearing you used on your bike for this ride? Front chainrings counts and rear cassette gearing? Thanks
Where has cam gone?
"Italian border man", haha that's what I love about Europe
Go to Basel and you can cycle 3 countries in about 5 minutes - France, Switzerland and Germany... I love the British mentality that this is something unusual
3:15 video actually starts .. 😅
I love how you both thought swiss was a language 😂
That's just sad, not funny at all. You'd expect more of 2 grown ups
Dominator00000 i think it’s pretty funny mate
Expect more? Do you know all languages? What one find interesting isn't interesting to someone else and it doesn't stick. 90% of the world confuse Sweden and Switzerland, that's sad lol
@@curunirishtari6663 nobody expects them to actually speak languages, but not knowing there's no such thing as swiss language is truly sad.
Dominator00000 how are you supposed to know if you never have been to switzerland before
3 countries ??? OMG
You did two recently! We can class Scotland as a separate country. Perhaps go all out and do Wales, England and Scotland in a new video.
Love the ‘Still D.R.E’ in the background
Crikey, that's awesome effort! As for all the comments on 'Mont blonk', they obvs never been to Preston or Chorley, next they will tell me a muffin isnt something you have sausages on! fml! Great video as always!
Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Luxemburg, France should be posible in 1 day ;)
You could possibly do six with France to Monaco to Italy to Switzerland to litchtenstein and then you could possibly do six by going to Switzerland 👍🏻
How the hell can you do that in one day
If you start at the other side of Switzerland, near Zürich, you can probably do Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Italy in just under 200km.
Or, start in Germany, Austria Switzerland Italy heading south, just over 200km. Both have a lot of climbing through the alps though.
An easier ride would be Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Czech Rep. 175km and about 1000m climbing.
Do Italy, Austria, Germany, Switzerland and France
You can ride 5 Countrys with the same distance ... no kidding ... look up routes from Netherlands around the area of Masstricht down to France heading in the near direction of Metz .. no true circle ...
The Shortest 4 Country I found while looking on a Map would be Netherlands Belgium Luxembouurg Germany (around 250k) or Germany Lichtenstein Austria Switzerland (Around 180k)
Hi Cameron, just wanted to hear your thoughts on... 12kg e bike... or 4kg road bike? When i raced i always thought i could use a 27 or a 29 sprocket on a climb with a 9kg bike, and do the same climb with just a 23 sprocket on a 4kg bike. Id like to hear your thoughts :)
You can do Czech Republic - Austria - Hungary - Slovakia. As a bonus you will also get to ride through 2 capital cities in one day and ride next to Danube river - one of the largest rivers in Europe! I did this ride myself, definitely recommend this!
Mont BLONK (Sorry, I had to do it)
You can do 4 countries i think (Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein). I don't think there is a great loop tho...
Had a route planned and was going to give it a go, Holland Belgium Germany Luxembourg France and finishing just over Swiss boarder 400kms roughly. I think 6 countries in 24hrs is a world record(I might be wrong) you should try that. Hit me up if you want the route, you might have to fine tune it.
this just needed the strava graphic showing your progress up the climbs
I think you can do 4 in Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Luxembourg. There is this 3-country point of the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium and about 80km south you can go to Luxembourg as well, you can also do 5 and go to France as well, but then it would be a long ride.. But there are only a few hills there so not these big climbs
4 countries are France - Belgium - Luxembourg and Germany. May be flatter as well :D
Great vlog again Cam.
To do 4 countries you could start in Southern Belgium near near the French /Luxemburg borders, drop down in to France, cycle over to Germany, and then back to Belgium via Luxemburg...
@cameron The tarmac in our mountains is the best of the alps ;-) and there's endless roads. Only thing is, as you don't know the region, you go with the big roads and end up on those busy roads with lots of traffic and scary tunnels. You can get the same with much more tranquility. Send me a PM if you come round these parts again in 2021! Happy to share the secret spots.
Done the Tour du Mont Blanc on the MTB when I lived out there. Not in one day obviously. Wishing I was more into road riding as well back then could've made even more of my time....and maybe drank a lot less. Sick vid!
I wouldn't advise drinking fizzy pop during a long ride. I did something similar and like you, I was gasping for water afterwards.
I couldn't tell where you were until 1:15 when you said you were near Chamonix for the 4th time, very informative
France Luxembourg Belgium and Netherlands might be a good option to do 4 countries or Switzerland Lilienstein Austria and Germany. I can't think of anywhere else
Good to have you back Cam and nice to see you have turned into a mountain biker like alot of the other UK vloggers🤣. Hopefully i will be able to cheer you on in Redditch if the Tour Series visits.
Fair play Cam and Chris cracking effort!!!!.
Cameron, can you make a video in the future about how you are getting into Dr Michael Greger's plant based diet and how do/will you apply it to cycling?
I'm very new to the channel and slowly trying to catch up, is there any way I can watch the videos in the order they were released, are they numbered in any way or is it just pot luck, I'm trying to watch by date order but that's a bit laborious, anyway Cam all your stuff is great, very inspirational, you also have 'The gift of the gab' that must be the Irish in you, someone mentioned pretentious, I think they got confused with self assured, best of luck to you and remember '"Audentes fortuna iuvat"
Here’s a challenge for you Cam, how many British counties can you cycle in in 24 hours?
Why do u have an Irish passport? I recognised it I’m Irish 😁
Just curious as to why you change sponsors so much. It used to be athletic greens. You raved about how much energy it gave you. Now it’s something else. If Athletic greens was so great why are still not using it? Not trolling here. I have considered some of the products you have recommended but it makes me question how good they are based on the history of sponsors coming and going.
Oh mate that was awesome. I got genuinely excited from the prospect of cycling down 40 km. Wicked.
4:55 Swiss language. :DDD
Ride your bike for 40 kms (25 miles) and not have to pedal! Sounds pretty good to me! lol
You are my favourite TH-cam keep up the great work and has single handedly got me into cycling and I can’t thank you enough! Cheers cam
I did the Grand Saint Bernard Pass (the one of 41km) 2 weeks ago in 1h53
rate it
if you want a good loop there is a lake in Macedonia called ohrrid and the loop is like 100 km but theres also a mountain called galicica and theres another massive lake on the other side , so if you do a loop around them both and go over the mountain would be a big challenge i guess ... and macedonia has extremely cheap accommodation around 7 eur a night .. hit me up ill help you out if you're keen even tho im in australia lol
Well done cam the is something mate
Hey, mind sharing what camera did you used for this video? :)
What does the letters mean in front of the zwift names? Eg Cameron Jeffers (WET)
I’m currently cycling across Europe, not at your speed though .. but I feel Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria
Austria, Slovenia, Hungary and Croatia
The views are just amazing but i hate climbing so much 😅
Riding across 4 countries in a single ride : France, Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands. Happy cycling!
And Germany for an easy 5th. Done it before in the car and a closed road added an extra country
Ameron I want to buy another T-shirt what is the link again
Cheers
Long sleeved jersey in 30 degrees? 🤣
I always wear long sleeve to avoid sunburn
How come yee have Irish passports
Eu passport
The Passport is still issued by the country you’re a citizen of. So the question really is: Who is Irish? (I also asked myself that, but maybe Chris is)
pretty sure Cam has both
Florian Kolb it’s Cam
Florian Kolb
Very unlikely Pritch has the Irish passport as he represented Scotland at the commonwealth games and if you’ve watched previous videos, Cam has a lot of family in Southern Ireland
Why does he have an Irish passport if he’s English
where mon
u are her were such a good couple just tell us if u broke up just tell us plz
Could’ve done wales England Scotland
Enjoying the tour de France cam?
You could probably do Austria-Italy-Slovenia-Croatia in one day from Villach to the istrian peninsula via Trieste.
Also Croatia-Slovenia-Hungary-Austria
Who's got the Irish passport? 🙌🇮🇪
Cameron is Irish.
@@nw5835 Never even knew hahahaha, I am too. Didn't know as am only a new sub to his channel
Could do England wales and London in a day delicious
would there be a 6-country-option?
"and as you can see my skin is now buudiful" hahaa
Where did you hire the camper from Cam??
What's the story with the Irish passport?
What bike do u have is it road bike ? Love the vids
yeah that's not a glacier...
Curious? Both Irish passports?
There is a lot of snow up there right now!
what gopro are you using?
When did u start biking ?
Awesome buddy awesome
Norway Finland and Sweden
Nice one Cam. Cool video.
Irish passport love to see it
This lowkey looked like a dad taking his son on a road trip
No need for the word low-key really mate. Don't thank me for the English lesson, you can have that one for free.
Absolutely not... It literally was
@@Wargwarn?
Y has he got an Irish passport
Should cycle through the ardennes mountains through Luxembourg,Germany,France and Belgium
THIS IS WHAT WE LIKE TO SEEE
What about England, Wales, Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland. 2 ferries required.
France, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg. And possibly Holland?
