    This one I had no real idea what to expect, and neither did anyone else on the trip. This was a small part of what Matthew was going to be doing on his upcoming tour de Mont Blanc challenge.
    This particular section is the Col De Ferret, which took us from Switzerland into Italy, skirting Mont Blanc in the process.
    Everything about this route was next level amazing!

      I was indeed having the time off my life!
      I didn’t really know what to expect from this route, as none of us had done it before. When we got to the col, I was blown away.

    a very enjoyable video. The longer shots really help transferring the atmosphere pretty well and are a welcome relief from the hasty kind of restless bike content that is common these days. Riding bikes is about the feeling and I can definitely see them in your videos.

    • @McTrailRider
      @McTrailRider  6 месяцев назад

      It’s a difficult balance to get right. Clips not too long that people get bored, but not so short that you don’t know what’s happening, or you lose context.
      Sounds like I got it right for you 👍

    More fun in that direction! I rode from Couramayer over Col Feret then up to Grand Saint Bernard. A lot more walking involved.

    • @McTrailRider
      @McTrailRider  6 месяцев назад +1

      Nice! I’m keen to go back and do the next bit too Couramayer, it’s meant to be even better than this bit.
      Stunning area regardless of the direction😍

      @@McTrailRider yep the balconette is stunning, a couple of ways down into Couramayer at the end of the ridge, nice steep tech after the traverse. Mont Blanc looms above you the whole way.

    Tremendous riding Andy. Smooth, controlled and fast. Well done. I did the full TMB some years ago and it is certainly an epic. I'm sure we did Ferret as I feel recognised the down hill. Great memories. Cheers..

    • @McTrailRider
      @McTrailRider  6 месяцев назад +1

      I believe that this is part of the TMB, so you most likely did ride this section.
