I like rubbing the grass.
We were warned that there might be wolves in the Alps.
Cutest ******* thing I've ever seen.
Back at it. Just had lunch.
Ian called the next trail cow ---- trail, so we're gonna have some fun. I'm gonna keep my mouth closed.
We're actually climb all the way up in the far road and we're gonna meet the ridge of that dip over there.
Don't let off those brakes for a second.
I do come into every corner. It's way too hot. I'm learning. Not too bad.
Rudded and gutted. Love the soft dirt and the rocks. Great combo.
We got it.
Jesus.
Yeah, oh yeah. I like those lines.
Fighting for it.
And now for a bit of a climb.
1 third.
These $10 chamois I bought on Amazon seem to be doing pretty good.
This is quite a lot of riding to have no chafing, no butt issues whatsoever.
It's usually the first to go.
The good old sportineer chamois. We'll see, uh,
long-term durability. It's probably gonna be suspect.
But I got like ******* five of them. I'll never ride the same one twice.
2 thirds.
Onward.
How about 10 seconds of pedaling before another push?
And not too bad.
How about them Alps?
Every day has been a battle. It's good.
Pain and pleasure.
This is actually one of my dreams to be able to be this fit to just
hike all friggin day. Like this.
Not just pedal. Just like the guys in those Yeti videos.
3 thirds.
Yes, thanks too much. It's gonna be good.
Pedal strike.
Holy ----.
There is some kind of view off to the right.
But first,
pedaling my hardest gear.
Try not to break the chain.
All right, let's show you what we got here.
So cool.
Let her rip. Oh, yeah. Ha ha.
Got that suspension working.
Nice.
Yeah, try to pop it. You get popped.
Guess I should have warned him.
I wasn't gonna make it past that.
Yeah.
I like rubbing the grass.
This one's digging for something.
What was that?
That's a big heifer.
True adventure.
This is quite a push.
This is quite intense.
Full face helmet.
Some other random guy.
How about that?
What's up, man?
Mouthful of candy.
Looks good to me. For a carry.
Damn it.
Got broke a window.
He's calling me freight train.
I'm good at these.
There we go. I saw that one coming for once.
We just came down that thing.
See him at the top. That's so crazy.
Yeah, you definitely you see that you think we're ******* nuts.
No doubt about it.
Right on the edge.
Use the bushes to my advantage.
Clank.
Oh, ----.
Oh, yeah.
Jeez. Dig in.
Oh, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Natural slowdown.
Oh, nice.
I'm not going to slow him down.
Oh, damn.
Bon, bon.
That was some full on fantastic flow.
In France, for as tough as this has been,
I've not hit the peak point yet.
We're gotten very, very close.
And that goes for all five days so far.
Oh, this is cool.
Oh, geez.
Yeah.
So I guess in Europe,
trail ratings, green,
blue, harder, red, harder
than black.
At least that's what I think is.
Instead of double black, the black is a real black.
Ha, ha, ha.
Wow. Yeah.
Oh, oh, quite joyous.
We are getting better at this.
Yeah. Yeah.
Without you in the way.
Ha, ha, ha.
That was ten out of ten right there.
Yeah. No.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Yeah. Oh, darn.
Most awkward route.
I got that, but not the turn.
That's a damn tough one.
Get it, Bruno.
Good stuff.
Wow. Wow.
Wow. Wow. Wow.
Isn't it the off camber?
She's just a lot of momentum.
Nice.
I avoided it somehow.
Everything's going to look
pretty tame.
Switchback squad.
What? Get back home.
Yes.
Brake rotors rubbing nice.
Great bike.
I love this bike.
It has allowed me to ride harder than I've ever ridden before.
Get the HD4 GX Eagle build.
You take off the Shimano Deore brakes.
You throw them in the garbage, put something good on.
Go ride the Alps.
Well, no idea where they are.
There's the van.
I see.
Yes. Thanks, Ian.
Bravo. Bravo.
I'll take the glass just to be polite.
This is where we're at today.
And because I got a room last night,
I mean, karma's got to come back around.
And I'm not alone tonight.
Always up a few flights of stairs.
All right, going up.
Whoa.
Teddy bear and everything.
I just need a plug and I found one.
So dinner in a couple of hours.
I think we're going to call it there.
Thanks for watching, you guys.
I'll see you on the trail.
