Gotthard Pass (south) | Switzerland raw runs [#6]

The mighty Gotthard has seen the Tour de Suisse come through at least 35 times over the years, but this day it Taylor and I who made the pilgrimage to the historic mountain pass. We didn't have the best wind down there and you can see Taylor being blown around a little, but overall it was a fantastic run down. On screen data is taken from my bike (follow cam).

12:20 I love the clip through the town. The colors, the lighting, the town, the clock, it's just perfect.

[@rogereheadbyrne4790]

That Speed was Incredible! Insanely Good Views and the Cinematography was Picture Perfect!👌

[@davidn.5803]

Great video... No boring comments, and no lame music. Just the sweet sound of shifting gears...!

[@swissride4k]

Wow, I am amazed by the breathtaking views captured in this video! The natural beauty is simply stunning and truly awe-inspiring. The vibrant colors of the landscape, the crystal-clear waters, and the majestic mountains all come together to create a scene that is truly unforgettable. I can only imagine how incredible it must have been to witness these sights in person. It is clear that the creators of this video have a great eye for capturing the beauty of Switzerland. This video is a testament to the incredible natural wonders that can be found in this country, and it reminds us of the importance of preserving these precious resources for future generations to enjoy.

[@MelculdinAlaska]

Yeah. Too bad that his eyes are most of the time on Garmin, or what device is he using for recording, s-o the watts are there. Numbers are more important.

[@SAFABrian]

checking the map since we've never been down here

[@CycleSafe999]

@@MelculdinAlaska More likely checking the map and the bends coming up. Quite common for cyclists if they've never ridden those roads before.

[@keithquinn5624]

Vibrant colors? Where? Crystal clear waters? Where?

[@AECH_CH]

I mean the edditing does a lot of work as well :D Colors aren't like that IRL, evne on a very good day.

Coffee and Safa - The perfect riding fix for a rainy sunday.

[@singlespeedcc]

This is probably the gold standard of high speed descending. We are looking at history in the making, and very few people will top this level. Salud Safa & Taylor.

[@hungryrefrigerator5784]

The channel rocks. This video shows the sheer beauty of Switzerland. Road look smooth, the sky was clear, and the green color from the trees were memorizing to look at. You have a great camera crew that take professional quality video. Keep up the hard work.

[@ballgitte]

Really really love the stats in the beginning as well as on the left. So clean.

[@P.Ttrying]

Stunning and deliciously entertaining. Thankyou for your time and persistence in making this. Gratitude P.T🤠🦘

[@parisneto]

Besides the usual landscape, speed, precision and awesomeness, around 6:20 I see Safa’s power meter is not showing data, I am so thankful and glad for that as I always think I have a problem with my devices , now I can relate to Safa and just keep pedaling !

[@Spanderson99]

Swiss infrastructure has a surreal quality to it sometimes. Blasting down this wide open descent, free of semi trucks and potholes. This migt be my favourite swiss descent yove done, since it reminds me of the mountains here in Canada. Most of our descents don’t require brakes at all, since the roads are built for 100+kph! Sometimes it’s nice to get into a tuck and watch those miles fly by.

[@feints7714]

It seems like their architecture does a better job of integrating into their environment. Some of those bridges were just coming straight out of the rock

[@spacegazette4781]

Great Content Safa... The locations are beautiful.

Love the view

[@bassmanbob2189]

Wow! That was a lot different from my St. Gotthard Pass experience! I started in Airolo and climbed the cobblestones to the peak, then after eating lunch with my family, I descended on the old cobblestones to Hospental. I also wanted to do the Furka Pass after lunch, but my family had already patiently waited for me to do St. Gotthard long enough. But I really enjoyed your video. It was a lot different, but it brought back a lot of memories from my trip in 2021.

[@SAFABrian]

Your ride sounds pretty amazing too. Cobbles on both sides and lunch with the fam, brilliant!

[@Hypersonicbiker]

Hi, very good stuff. Is it possible to have HR data also on th screen. It would be usefull to see.

[@vlado29]

Niiiice, as always! 😊 this side of Gotthardpass feels like a highway so it’s almost orgasmic to ride it full gas :) Also avoided Tremola by riding on a section where bikes are forbidden, but with this speed only some purist policemen would complain 😂

[@befab4ever1972]

At these speeds it's not clear that bikes should not take this road but the old route. I've missed this turn also. Anyway, it's no problem because there's hardly any traffic there.

[@williamforbes7156]

How do you show the speed/power on the video?

[@rhriding]

Which brand is the wheel set?

[@MatthewBluefox]

07:22 - I hope you're aware that the green sign with a white car symbol means "motorway"? If the police had been around, you would have had to pay a pretty high fine and they might have taken you to the police station on top of that. Switzerland is pretty strict about bicycles on motorways.

Atravesar un largo túnel a 80 kms/h sin luces es una enorme temeridad, en la que literalmente se juega la vida; en el vídeo se ve cómo el ciclista se hace invisible. En España y en otros Estados de la UE está prohibido por las leyes de tráfico. 🇪🇸💖🚴‍♂️🇪🇺
