Great images. Did it in September 1999. Sun at the bottom and really cold and foggy at the Cime de la Bonnette. Was there for one week on vacation and did several other passes in that region that year. Col de Vars, Col de Larche, Col d'Allos, Col de la Cayolle, Col d'Angel and the Col d'Izoard. Also did my third climbing of Alpe d'Huez.

Hi, I am curious if you notice any sign that indicates motorbikes are not allowed on the road? I am planning to ride until the 'mittelstation' then take the lift. Do you think is that allowed ?

Brilliant video! I rode it today and your review is spot on. After the sufferfest, the view as you get to the Barrage Grand Maison is spectacular. The second half is the one to enjoy. Even though a long climb, you’ve done the hard kilometres in the first half and now you can enjoy the spectacular views with the lesser gradients (and boy are they spectacular!). Definitely take a jacket as even in mid July when temperatures are about 30 in Allemond it is chilly when descending especially with the wind at that altitude. Great thing about this ride is for large parts it feels like you have the mountain to yourself as it has far fewer riders than the more popular climbs in the region, even though the views here are just amazing.

I climbed this with three friend in 2015, shortly after Mike made this video. The music and photography captures this climb so very well. It is one of my favorites. I was in the US and intentionally did not watch it to the end at the time because I wanted the climb to retain some mystery.

Wow! Just nuts. I'm used to your excellent camera work but wasn't expecting to see a cycling video where one has views looking down at the clouds! This is not just a great cycling video, but a fantastic travel video as well. The telescopes are impressive. I can see how a gravel bike would give you lower gears, but am wondering why you didn't go with lightweight slick tires, given that the road is so nice, and that the climb is so challenging!
@TheColCollective Ай бұрын
Thanks so much for your appreciation! It’s an incredible road, my video only captures so much, the reality is even more inspiring. For the bike, I was in the Canary Islands for a few weeks and wanted to do some gravel too, and could only travel with one bike. Glad you enjoyed the video ☺️

I filmed this on a rim brake bike as it was a bit before discs became more widely used. Never really thought about it to be honest as I only rode rim brakes up to that point. I think if you’re used to discs and then had to ride a rim brake down you’d have more issues, especially on a carbon rim (which is what I was using). Just got to be mindful and brake efficiently 👌🏼
