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 😂…
I have one question @camnicholls…. Disc Brakes!?!?!??????
Love the fact you said bonjour. French people don't always say it nowadays. You did a big mistake by underestimating le col de la croix de fer 😅.
Cheers for putting me in the video guys! My wife laughed at me for using her as my excuse not to ride up the climb again! Gerry.
It was nice to meet you Gerry! Sorry I spelled your name incorrectly in the captions
11:59 "Cam Cam" loved it. Only half way through the vid. liked it already. Great content. Thanks guys.
"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😂
@@mbtravel7294 Cadence is key.
These camera angles are great. Keep up the longer form videos, we are here for every minute of it!
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!
I need to hear more of Cams cackling in your videos 😂. Maybe all videos.
That cafe on the climb up to croix de fer save me and my partner as well. Those three gross climbs are spicy AF!😅
I quite like this new 'dreamy' color grade, good job with that
Thanks for noticing 🙏
Amazing route, amazing shots, amazing views, amazing companion, amazing pain... Incredible memories! Cheers from Colombia
mates and i did an alps trip a few years back. That 2nd climb you did (Col du Glandon) was the hardest and least enjoyable climb for me of that entire week. F'ing brutal and never-ending. Col du Galibier from Valloire was my favorite climb I've ever done - absolutely stunning! Looks like you had to dig super deep to finish - well done! Type II fun for sure!
The cam cam 😂
Just looking at those flies were driving me nuts. Great effort knocking all that down in one ride!
Somehow you manage to make your rides so accessible. I feel like I’m with you (sans cramps!). Thanks for a wonderful video.
Loved it, keep up the good work both with the edits and with the rides 💎
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.
I'd gladly be confused with Cam any day
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 🙏
He back!!!!! ❤
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
Great video, love your style. The thing that blew me away the most was honestly the flies lol, good grief that's insane.
Thanks Mitch! Loved the video.
Super effort on such a big ride! I had no idea the flies were so bad over there. Chapeau!
In August, I rode all those climbs including the Balcon d‘Auris (another climb on my way back) and let me say, I feel every bit of pain again, while watching your video! 😄
Thankfully, the great scenery keeps you going all the way!
Great job, Mitch! 💪🏽
Worth the wait mate. So good!
Thanks man! Appreciate it 🙏
Another great video, kind of comedy adventure mixed with suffering and sometimes-appropriate music! Incidentally, the way you get rid of the flies on these climbs is to slowly pass another rider and then pick up speed. Their problem then. Cycling...it's a hard sport.
what an effort! congrats, you can really be proud on this one!
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.
🫡
They should grade climbs by profanity percentage. That was a super video: thank you.
😂😂😂
crazy that a fan just happened to spot you guys on this ride
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.
Crazy to see that you guys crossed the marmotte finish line on the alpe! So incidental
You’re an animal!!! Great job amazing video!!! Those flies though. WTF?
Cam gives the best courtesy laughs. Nice use of Le Nozze di Figaro
amazing how the insta360 looks with some halation on top!
Love the story telling!
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.
"...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. 😂
Did I just tab into season 3 of Unchained? I think I did.
Fantastic video, boys!
loving the color grade for the insta360 footage!
I just wanna 🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰. That section at 9% is the same as the Mt Baldy summit in LA. The flys are unbearable
Great video! Incredible effort!
Flys would’ve made me quit lol. I’m getting chills just seeing them on the screen.
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.
The flies would have made me quit 💀🪰
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).
Brilliant video well done lads.
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.
Omg, those flies are crazy 😮
I am glad that you finally got some proper gearing for steep streets, I bet you would be able to go up the street in new zealand with this.
ah man u guys missed the epic bakery in ay between the alp and col de foix - sorry boys!
Great ride. I’m riding in Spain in a few days and watching this has inspired me to re-gear my bike.
Dream trip Mitch! Cheers.
I've done the "La Marmotte" Loop back in like ~2012 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Marmotte , we were bonking and needed to stop at that same cafe on Croix de fer too, lol! So beautiful, took all day. This video took me right back (also a California cyclist too). Cheers!!
looking fit mitch!
What a nice surprise this video!
0:12 1000 yard stare 🤣
Great Video. thank you very much
Like heaven especially with the heavenly music 😃
I think you climbed more in this video then I do in a year
😂 just do bridge laps for a few days straight and you should catch up real quick
these flies are gnarly!
Mitch is on the bleeding edge of technology, a 29er MTB with skinny tires
So many flies at that height... I'll skip this from my To-do cycling list :)
Extra protein for the ride 😜
I'm glad Niles was still there
You can always count on Niles (presumably).
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
He's back!!!!
Thanks for the great content
Great vid. Is there a time of year when there aren’t so many flies?
17:10 "I haven't had enough magnesium!"..."No, you're just not trained"....Why not both? 😂😂
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.
"inside of my thighs..." LOL.. dude those flies were absolutely disgusting
Not a good advert for Keytones and a stupid rear cassette 😊
I did the same route this year on a 36/28 and water and am 58.
I definitely think the Croix de Fer is the hardest of those climbs though but the Galibier is the nicest experience due to the terrain and views.
Well put together video and for putting up with the flies, I’ve never experienced that in the Alps.
What an awesome ride and great video!
(though the baked in subtitles are super annoying - would be awesome if you could use the RUclips feature instead)
You’re back!
Careful with such huge rides as an amateur! A co-worker tried a very similar 4-mountain ride in France and collapsed with heat stroke and kidney failure.
Next do the Ötztaler Radmarathon, one of the oldest and most legendary Gran Fondos in the alps (220k, 5500m)
“Australian gibberish” 😂😂
Making mental note to 2nd guess ride invites by you.
Long awaited video but it was totally worth the wait! Keep the great content coming!
That side of the croix de fer is brutal
Glad we got another Mitch vid before gta 6😂
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 🫡
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 ✌️
Fave YT cyclist
Well done! A bit of a crazy endeavour, but I guess you needed something to write home about ;-), I wanted to ask when you rode this, and wonder if the fly-thing is a constant fixture on the route or if you somehow just got unlucky with a ecological freak event?
From what I understand, it's a summer thing. We were there end of June.
coros dura review?
Thx for a great video
It was fun watching you guys suffer ... for RUclips 🤣
I did télégraphe and galibier this summer this was soo hard
Great ending. 😆
(Australian gibberish) lollll
Ay hombre, finally!
Stunning views, and the nature ; ) Cyclists not so much ; ( I'm kidding! Great acievement!
The ketones really pushed you up the mountains!
How were there so many flies, i was this year at july on col de la Bonnete and Isola 2000 and there were no flies at all
my hero!
05:38 as Chris Miller of Nero fame would say, Mitch has a better package 😂
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.
curious how you managed battery usage for all the footage on your insta360? extra batteries? charger banks?
well done on multiple fronts!
11:03 the "carbonara" was shocking.
😂 I knew it was dangerous to admit how much I enjoyed it. Was because I was exhausted? …we may never know 😉
@@MitchBoyer Not your fault Mitch. I'm sure it was tasty. I'd inhale it too, after that amount of climbing. Just the French who, with all their love for cuisine, often pervert the original with cream and onions.
9:10 what is that braking performance😂
The dream of Alpe de d'Huez on TIME Alpe de d'Huez bike ; )
