    Amazing edit once again Mitch. Loved it. What's not in this video though is you not being able to get out of bed the next day (LOL) and me getting proper sick 48 hours later. You could have perhaps titled the video - The Ride That Destroyed Cam's Immune System. hahaha. But was it worth it for lifetime memories and RUclips glory? Absolutely.

    There used to be a time (about a half-hour ago) where I had only watched some random Cam and Mitch's videos and I couldn't tell the difference between the two, and I genuinely thought that they were the same person.
    Imagine my reaction when I saw the intro of this video.

    Croix de la Fer - lol...... think yourself lucky you joined it from Pas de Confession balcony road as the drag up the dam from Allemond is a rude awakening.
    Great point about long rides at about 17mins in. But that said how many hobby level cyclists who take on this kind of stuff can spare 6-7hr training rides regular and TBH if your doing a "bucket list" trip you need to be able to do them back to back for the stimulus and to build the fatigue resistance.
