THE MOST FAMOUS CLIMB IN CALPE

- In this episode, we travel to Calpe and ride up one of the most famous climbs there: Coll de Rates. Around 600m high, the views were magnificent along the way up, with a fairly gentle gradient throughout. Calpe and the region is where a lot of cycling pros train and I had to go there to see for myself what the hype was all about. I would definitely choose to return to Calpe again for a winter cycling trip.

Start an annual Winsty cycling retreat. 😅 Love your vids. Thanks for making them.
Hahaha that would be fun!

Very nice video....
Looks amazing, I'm hoping to get over their this year for a holiday/Cycling. who was controlling the drone :)
Lovely vlog! Subbed and looking forward to more content mate!
Awesome, thank you!
@@thewinsty most welcome! Kudos to the effort put into each video. I travel to Singapore on occasion for work. Would love to ride with you boys id you’ll have a 40yr old guy hang on in the draft! 😂
Give a shout when you come around here. Cheers!
@@thewinsty will do! And if you’re back in WA, shout out!
that was a nice video 👌
Hey Doc, grand views and amazing roads. You didn’t just go there for your rides did you? 😅 please share great tapas and Michelin restaurants too 😃🙏
Hi Sk, thanks for watching. In all honesty I did but I cannot openly say because I might have to sleep on the couch tonight. Hahaha jokes aside, I mostly filmed only the cycling-related activities for the purposes of this cycling channel and meals otherwise were mostly home-cooked (occasionally filmed). I will bear in mind your comment for future trips though!
@@thewinsty I must salute you for your passion. A rather rare quality in our little island. Being a local, food is always on my mind after a days work when I am traveling 😂 Enjoy the rest of your trip and kudos to your partner for her supporting your sports..
What was the name of your rental car? Thx
That’s the difference between recreational rides.
The real question is now when is the wife getting into cycling 🚴♀️ doesn’t she know you need a ride buddy 😂
Have you got any good brainwashing ideas??
@@thewinsty 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@thewinsty bring her to a bike shop and ask her to pick one hahaha
@@thewinsty Start with a tandem. Beginners use a mountain tandem with straight bars. You have to make it comfortable for her. Then when the speed of 2 is addictive, she will decide to try it on her own. But beware a tandem is either a marriage strengthener or a divorce maker. There is no in between.
Well, the Lotto Soudal guys might be rolling on a 180 dicut so they can drop many, apart from their fitness 😆
These guys would probably drop me while riding an Ofo bike
@@thewinsty 😅
No where near as good as Mallorca 😂😂
Depends on what you're after really :)
