Hello and welcome to this weeks Vlog.
Nice and surrounding area is one of my favourite places to go ride a bike, however I am always struck by how few amateur cyclists go there compared to places like Majorca and Tenerife. I decided to do a vlog to show you what its like, how to get there and what you can expect. There's a reason a large proportion of the pro peloton base themselves in this region (and its not just tax!). The climate, roads and scenery are superb, and there are great transport links too. Hope you like the vlog and if you have any questions, we will try to answer them below. Stay tuned till the end for another (little) competition.

I've lived near Nice for quite a few years. I am from Scotland originally. Really the best point is that is has a variety of rides from the high summer peaks to accessible 900m climbs in the winter. We often do the Col de La Madone as a Christmas day mission, or a tour of the Esterel area. Riding near the coast in August though is a bit nuts sometimes. Too hot and busy so if you must do it, start super early.
This makes me regret not being into cycling the last two times I visited Nice. I could have had a day or two cycling!
Thanks for showing us Nice, Ollie. It does look ideal for training with its climbs and eateries and sunshine and luxe life vibe. And for a name for cream, I'd suggest MoonShine.
So informative and so helpful. Thanks Ollie.
More of these kind of vlogs in the future.
if you wear the same cycling kit you and your brother could probably each ride half of a race with a sneaky switch in the middle.
I'm actually on holiday in Nice at this very moment. I rode up col de Vence and Aspremont today. Not very fast though. Beatiful autumn colours.
Get yourself to the bakery Bert!
It's good. What's even better, there are lots of similar places.
I reckon its worth going just to pay the french legend playing the drums half way up the climbs!
*pay a visit to ...
Loving your video diaries 🖒
My favourite Ollie Bridgewood video of all time GCN included.
3:25 did you say Castelli Rock? If so, that's the most genius pun ever
I was just in Nice. What a fantastic place.
And there's definitely enough flat courses, if that's what you're after. The entire coastal area west of Nice is 100% flat
Been to Monaco and cycled out to Nice a couple of times. I liked it more, it’s much more down to earth, not so alien.
Great vid love the cake reference :)
I was in Nice last June. Great place to ride
Very cool vlog. Nice to take your brother along and create some great memories.
these vlog diaries are really good.
Another excellent vlog. Would be great to somehow get your routes out of Nice.
IMO the only drawback to a cycling holiday in Nice is how expensive everything is! But I agree the roads/cafes/food is brilliant
While climbing sharp hill, he is taking video.. vaaov! :) impressing.
Thats a really cool winter motivation, going to nice in march or april🚲🌄
Squelch!! For those rides when you just need that little bit more.
I would call my chamois cream; 'Maggots Crevice Ointment'. - as 'Maggot' was my nickname when i raced, basically because i got myself onto the result sheet where i really had no business being! thanks Ollie, mark
Other details - you can get there by train via Eurostar and TGV (change at Lille and Marseille or Avignon). You could also stay in Menton rather than Nice - I'll be in Rocquebrune-Cap-Martin as usual in the summer :-)
The climbs are as good as they look in this video - the views are even better but difficult to capture how truly stunning they are!
Fabulous vlog thanks Ollie. Really helpful insights and advice.
A new chamois cream? Hell for Leather
Love these vlogs. For the competition: “Aaaaaaaah-sss”
Chamois cream - "cheeky treat". Cheers
Love these vlogs!! keep up the good work!
Nice overview of Nice. My chamois cream would be called "Tender Bits"
I just watched this again, Ollie, and truly, you present Nice like a local and that is remarkable for someone who has been there just six times or so. And I'm wondering, for a rider(s) who would just need a place for sleep and shower, are there any hostels or similarly priced accommodations? Or what sort of lodging costs did you encounter through Airbnb?
Cheers Robb. I haven't had experience of hostels, however there are loads of awesome airbnbs out there, so I would be inclined to check those out. In terms of food costs, it varies. Some of the small supermarkets are pricey, but the larger ones are fine.
Thanks, Ollie, and thanks again for your Tour de Nice. And for sure you'll get that KOM next time.
Ollie, I'm thinking to head there (partly because of this vid, thanks) with my partner in May. She's been cycling a couple of year but not done anything like mountains. Are there some climbs inland from Nice that are pretty steady 4-7% range that we could do without biting off too much that would be daunting? Or are they all pretty steep once you get inland?
I took a vélo Bleu from vieux Nice into the damn Alpes !! Lol. I had travelled 70km and the cops sent me back to the city
Snowman's Saddle Butter
+1 to bucket list.
Thanks for the video! Would have loved to know a little about your bikes you brought over.

That's going to come in January when we've 'persuaded' him to go vegan for the whole month, to shoot another documentary!
That`s just mean and cruel lol.
Chamois cream names: Nutella, Cool running
Is this Cafe Cicliste, still have rental road bikes? Cant find ''rental'' option on the web page.
Could you not link your Strava rides into the bio / description so we can see them? It would be handy for those of us inclined to try the area out.
Here's the ride up the Col de Turini www.strava.com/activities/1120613298
www.strava.com/activities/1120613298 here's one. It's worth checking out Joe Dombrowski's Strava too. Lots of good routes. He knows the best roads!
cream brand - aaaaaaaahhhhhh the relief
I'd call mine "A bit of cheeky cream"
i would do it like the leightweight stuff and try to put german words into it, so everyone gets hiped like crazy about the german quality --> "Popo Essence - pure performance, german engineering"
Beautiful place. I never use chamois cream. Look too pricey to me.
P's nuts butter :)
Where is the cafe you filmed from at 15:10? Do you remember the location?

Thanks. Looking at flights already!

Another amazing lesser known climb is to the top of Mont Vial 1549m. It's one of the 3 highest mountains close to the coast and the only one that actually has a road access for its weather station that's on top.
