Hey-hey good people, we're back! Everything may have changed since we brought you our last video but what remains the same is the ever present mountain calling. What a place to pick up where we left off from with the fearsome and stunningly beautiful Alto de l’Angliru, one of the toughest climbs in pro cycling!
This video is completely self-filmed and funded. If you enjoyed it and would like to see more, do me a solid and give it a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel or throw me some change to keep the rubber on the road by clicking the thanks button below the video 🐮
Start: Mirador Del Angliru
Length: 8.5km
Summit: 1,570m
Elevation Gain: 906m
Average Gradient: 11%
Max Gradient: 24%
Oh, and do let me know what you think of this "on the road" style content, if you like it, and what you'd like to see more of in the future? The summer is coming which means it's time for adventure!

Really liked the changes that you did to the format. It feels less scripted, more vlog-like and as you said more personal. And the filming and editing was superb. I'd say that this was your best video so far!

Whoaaaa! Great feedback, thank you so much! Spoiler alert, there was no scripting, I was wild camping in the van and just thought “I wonder if I could film one of these climbs on my own?” Glad I did it and glad you enjoyed it!! 🐮🚐⛰️

You used to have someone else filming and you can hardly tell the difference in the quality of the filming. There are certain shots in the past where the views were pretty cool. Being an amateur KZbinr myself, I know how hard it is to do many of the shots you did...put the camera down, ride DOWN the hill, ride up past the camera as if you don't know the camera is there, stop, place the camera down facing the other way, ride DOWN again, ride back up past the camera as if it weren't there, go pick it up...realize that your GoPro froze...pull out the battery....do it again. Spending the entire next day doing drone shots, etc. Making a video such as yours takes HARD work before you even start editing. Kudos to you as I really liked the video and I'm glad you're doing this again. You are the OG of cycling.

Thanks so much Adam. It sounds like you understand the process well. It certainly takes a lot of time, the initial filming and then each layer of the edit, the music, sound, colour, graphics etc. Sometimes it feels a bit much for a one man band but the end result always makes it so worth it! Thanks for your support! 🐮

@The Col Collective - yep that one is very much on my hitlist this time. Aswell as the other up there Pont D'Espagne. Another day I want to do the Tentes / Tromousse and Lac Gloriettes ride. Third day I am hoping to do East Side of Spandelles and then loop round to Laruns before coming back over D'Aubisque from the west. Various other bits planned - Lac du Tech, Aspin & Anacazin, day in foothills by Croix Blanche. Before finishing it off with a trip up Hautacam if the legs allow it.

@The Col Collective - Cap de Long will have to wait for another time. Last year was West Tourmalet via Laurent Fignon Road thanks to your video and yes I took a dip under the bridge. Also did Soulor, D'Aubisque from the East and then dropped down north side of Soulor to do Spandelles from the west. Also did Hautacam and Ardiden. Lastly it was Coraduque and Estaing Borderes loop.
