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.
The things we do for RUclips 😂 it was a ride I’ll never forget. Glad I got to share the adventure with you 🫡
You two are nuts ;-) monster effort pulling through on those monster climbs 😄🤩
I bet Jesse was jealous 😂…
"Cam's cog isn't as big as mine."
The bigger it is, the more efficient
@@Shadowboost Size doesn't matter it's how you move the cog😂
OMG BABE WAKE UP MITCH BOYER POSTED A VIDEO! 🥰
Just for you 😘 (Don’t tell Cam)
"(Australian gibberish)" ☠
😂 (with love always)
@@MitchBoyer oh, I know about Australian gibberish. I'm dating an Aussie :)
In their utes throwing cans of XXXX at ya....😂😂😂 completely understandable and sadly it's true in Melbourne too 😢 (but the beer is different)
@@jenniferw6081haha thank you for translating!
The cam cam 😂
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.
I reckon this is how a flat-earthener feels when they finally realize the world is actually donut-shaped. Absolutely insane.
It may not matter during the ride, but I do cheer you on while watching the video.
Well according to Matthew McConaughey time is a flat circle, so thank you 🙏
I quite like this new 'dreamy' color grade, good job with that
Thanks for noticing 🙏
I just wanna 🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰. That section at 9% is the same as the Mt Baldy summit in LA. The flys are unbearable
They should grade climbs by profanity percentage. That was a super video: thank you.
😂😂😂
These camera angles are great. Keep up the longer form videos, we are here for every minute of it!
11:59 "Cam Cam" loved it. Only half way through the vid. liked it already. Great content. Thanks guys.
curious how you managed battery usage for all the footage on your insta360? extra batteries? charger banks?
well done on multiple fronts!
Just looking at those flies were driving me nuts. Great effort knocking all that down in one ride!
I remember eating at the same restaurant on the Croix de Fer. Fortunately heading in the other direction, so didn’t need to climb straight after a meal. Great area to ride.
You’re an animal!!! Great job amazing video!!! Those flies though. WTF?
Amazing route, amazing shots, amazing views, amazing companion, amazing pain... Incredible memories! Cheers from Colombia
0:12 1000 yard stare 🤣
That cafe on the climb up to croix de fer save me and my partner as well. Those three gross climbs are spicy AF!😅
He back!!!!! ❤
The flies would have made me quit 💀🪰
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.
Great video! Incredible effort!
So many flies at that height... I'll skip this from my To-do cycling list :)
Extra protein for the ride 😜
Impressive. Well done. Breathtaking mountains. Thanks for taking those of us along who will never complete a ride of that magnitude.
That side of the croix de fer is brutal
Great ride. I’m riding in Spain in a few days and watching this has inspired me to re-gear my bike.
I did these three climbs this summer but the other way around, replicating the Tom Pidcock stage from 22. The flies really made me feel like they knew I would be falling off any minute. It took me 9:45 in the end.
Well, I hope you've learnt your lessons for claiming Europe was overrated!
Good work guys.
Every driver is better than the drivers in QLD. And amazing to see 3 of my favourite youtube cyclists in one video (even if Mark only made a cameo).
Great video, love your style. The thing that blew me away the most was honestly the flies lol, good grief that's insane.
Flys would’ve made me quit lol. I’m getting chills just seeing them on the screen.
I need to hear more of Cams cackling in your videos 😂. Maybe all videos.
Glad we got another Mitch vid before gta 6😂
Crazy to see that you guys crossed the marmotte finish line on the alpe! So incidental
Loved it, keep up the good work both with the edits and with the rides 💎
crazy that a fan just happened to spot you guys on this ride
Fave YT cyclist
Oh man... Col de la Croix de Fer / Glandon is a massively underrated climb.... I can vouch for this from my ride a couple of months ago .. right after L'Alpe D'Huez...😅
It's brutal when you don't anticipate it. That last bit to the summit is really incredible.
Drivers in Spain are generally very good fyi
From my experience, I've found the French drivers one of the most bike friendly in Europe. If you go to Italy or Spain it's much more worse. Same with Netherlands and Germany where they leave you little room when they overtake you 😄
Cam did a solo ride to Italy two days later and had quite the adventure!
I think you climbed more in this video then I do in a year
Omg, those flies are crazy 😮
I can't turn off the captions and my ADD is going nuts...if only RUclips had such a feature...
For real, what the hell is up with that?
I understand. Unfortunately the audio wasn’t very good in many parts of the video because I didn’t have a dedicated mic for Cam. I made the decision to burn the captions in so that everything was intelligible. My goal for future videos is to have better audio and traditional closed captions.
All good, I „solved“ the problem by putting a post-it over the lower edge of my phone 😅
Thanks for the awesome video!
@@UloPehaha low tech solutions for high tech problems 🫡
these flies are gnarly!
Did I just tab into season 3 of Unchained? I think I did.
Fantastic video, boys!
Thx for a great video
It was fun watching you guys suffer ... for RUclips 🤣
Would the diuretic affect from the caffeine effect salt loss and make cramps worse?
Yes
It’s a sponsored video so of course they work lol
Rode these three myself in July this year too. Croix de Fer is such an underated climb! Galibier was amazing the day of stage 4 and Alpe d'Huez is unsurprisingly brutal. That you blokes did all three in the one ride is very impressive. Jealous of the experience, not jealous of the pain you inflicted on yourselves haha
Next do the Ötztaler Radmarathon, one of the oldest and most legendary Gran Fondos in the alps (220k, 5500m)
I'm glad Niles was still there
You can always count on Niles (presumably).
I did La Marmótte last year and climbing Huez at the end after Croix de fer, Mollard, Telegraphe and Galibier was a real slog but those views almost made up for it.
"...and Cam is a lot stronger than me. That's all." Hahaha - that's me every group ride even if only 2 of us! I feel you. 😂
Oh sick. 6 months later
😂
Hey man, nice video and good to see you in the French alps. Just so you know, your pronunciation of French is really more than decent to me
great content, super entertaining, but man I hate hearing about the damn ketones. They ruin the video
Get over it.
The event was that same weekend! We got lucky and had better weather on our ride. Looked brutal from the pics I saw.
@@DeanM92 Hey im not saying he shouldnt be advertising products, I know he's gotta make a living - but the way he's doing it could be made a bit friendlier to the viewer who is not interested in the product in question, and prefers to skip it. Mark it in the timeline could be an option that comes to mind.
Hopefully RUclips adcents rewards you for that gallant effort.
The dream of Alpe de d'Huez on TIME Alpe de d'Huez bike ; )
Super effort on such a big ride! I had no idea the flies were so bad over there. Chapeau!
what an effort! congrats, you can really be proud on this one!
noted bring eucalyptus oil when i visit.
Am i seeing this wrong or are you riding a 1 by here? What groupset is this? The new GRX?
The ketones really pushed you up the mountains!
9:10 what is that braking performance😂
Do something with EJ again pleaseee 😢
🙂
Do you still remain as friends ?😂
Thanks Mitch! Loved the video.
“Australian gibberish” 😂😂
Thanks for the great content
It’s time!!! Everybody shut up!!! Throwing this one up onto the living room tv. LFG!!! #ketonecult
Thanks for watching it on the TV! I spent a lot of time on this one 🫡
What a nice surprise this video!
(Australian gibberish) lollll
I tried to do a 35ish % climb in my neighborhood (only like 200ft or so at that grade) and stopped a little bit before the end as my front wheel started popping up cause of the torque.. how do you avoid tipping backwards when you're standing up, and most of the weight is in the rear?
It’s a struggle to balance on those really steep climbs. I fall backward more than I care to admit 😅
Great video and views, did a solo Marmotte last fall and know the toughness and beauty around every bend. Especially
the upper part of Galibier. Looking forward to more scenic mountain videos.
🫡
Brilliant video well done lads.
Dream trip Mitch! Cheers.
Love seeing you run a 1x on your road bike. I have a Vielo R+1 which is a 1x only road bike frame and I LOVE IT!
It definitely came in handy for the steep sections. Now that I'm back home, I'm not sure if I want to go back to 2x or not.
Is cam's seat a bit too low? 🧐
That was
Not
A carbonara
Ay hombre, finally!
Ride a bike, don't Bike a bike. That's the secret. You gain like, 30 watts
All of my English teachers are disappointed 😜
La marmotte isn't for the faint of heart
Hi, im curious about the transportation to start and from finish. Looks like you rented a car?
Yes we stayed in Briançon and drove to the base of the Galibier/top of Col du Lautaret, and started the ride there.
Does the pain and suffering diminish the amazing scenery or exaggerate it?
I was pretty deep in the pain cave the last climb, I'm glad I filmed it. Half of the edit I was thinking, "wow, it really was beautiful!" The top of the Galibier is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen.
Stunning views, and the nature ; ) Cyclists not so much ; ( I'm kidding! Great acievement!
looking fit mitch!
Love you long time
Nice vid doods
Where can I find the data for this route? I'd love to recreate this ride one day.
Click on the Strava link for either my ride or Cam's in the description and you can convert our ride into a route for yourself :)
You’re back!
200th like 🧐
He's back!!!!
I'm very fucked watching it
😂😂
my hero!
Finally!
Mitch how much time did you spend in that huge cog?
All day--when you have it, you gotta use it
BEAST
great ride with amazing views 👌
@mitch, can you please share the links to cassette and groupset you are using on your bike?
It's the SRAM Eagle 10-52t MTB cassette. Before the trip, the mechanics at Ritte swapped out my rear derailleur to a MTB derailleur so it would work on my bike. There will be more details in my next steep streets episode.
@@MitchBoyer great
Excited for the upcoming steep climbs ✌️
I did the Marmotte this year. The weather was dreadful.
