    Alex had the last laugh, as Ollie woke up from his dream ride to find himself on tea duties for misspelling Windermere. Let us know about your dream ride in the comments below 👇

      In my dream rides the roads are nice, there is no trash or debris on the road, and no cars.

      Windamere is actually the name of a hotel in Darjeeling, India. Some fantastic climbs there, I'm sure - maybe an idea for a future video?

    I absolutely love your tours through the locals ”backyard”. It’s much more relatable to me than the magnificent trips you will never do or just once in your lifetime as a hobby cyclist. Even if I sometimes dream about them.
    Because you have a cooperation with Komoot, I have a suggestion. Could you curate tours from followers, so Komoot users can send you their tours and you present the best of them.
    It is really hard to find gems like you presented, but with the community backing you that could be possible.

    • @AntonzBravo
      @AntonzBravo 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio (albeit an Alfa Red one) 😄 Just need to persuade my other half to swap my Giant for the Pinarello (not going to happen)

    Loved this, I can so relate to Ollies dream ride. GCN keeps upping its game as the productions was as fantastic as the lovely Lake district scenery. My own dream ride was either Lake district (Clitheroe to Carlisle) or Inverness to Lairg when I did lejog with some mates.

    Of course what the Lake District doesn't have is Italian drivers!
    In my experience Italian drivers love cyclists. The safest I ever felt while riding in an inner city was Naples, some car drivers even stopped at green lights just to let me past through my red light so I didn't have to stop!
