Lakes & Mountains in Italy... on a gravel bike

[@velomehr6845]

love your enthusiasm and satisfaction. take a bike and enjoy it all!

[@Charl1e1975]

Lake Garda is just as beautiful and there a lovely road route around the lake and another longer route that’s in the mountains but with epic views of the lake.

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Sounds ideal. Good mountain biking too (I hear)

[@Charl1e1975]

Juliet Elliott yep take the Gondala up from Malcesine and there are some great routes back down to the lakes 😁

[@fidelcastro9579]

Love this. Every trip you do I want to do myself. 👌

[@cr7nj114]

Thank you so much for taking us on this ride around Lake Como Juliet.Things here Melbourne Australia are pretty grim in stage 4 lockdown(confined to your home only allowed out for essentials and 2hours within 5km of your home) Seeing your video was such welcome relief.

[@stephenjeffreys4219]

Thanks for taking me along - loved the scenery - will definitely have to go and do it

[@gregh7387]

Your attitude and free spirit is inspiring!

[@soloist777]

Lake Como is gorgeous!

[@_stoatchaser]

Check out Lake Annecy. Awesome swimming paddle boarding and cycling and never to far from a tour stage or two in summer which is always a bonus

[@johnelliott5923]

Thank you for taking us along! Loved it!

[@doowkcaj]

Check out lake Bohinj just north of Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. It's the most fantastic lake to swim in and the mountains that surround it are stunning.

[@MrDelta2100]

I'm from Italy and well, I'll suggest Lake of Garda. Although I don't live there I go often for the weekends and it's great. Nice cities, the lake is amazing and by bike is even better!!

[@JSS822]

You are blessed to ride in such a beautiful place.

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Yes I am!

[@alfredstimoli2590]

Bellissima. Great vid. Thank you for taking us on your adventure.

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Thanks for watching

[@utubeleplague]

Very beautiful place to ride definitely. You prolly should come to Porto and ride along the Douro river during the sunny days, amazing too!

[@colinberry276]

Wow nice. Stayed in Varenna 3 years ago. Looking to go back to Como, or Riva del Garda next year...so much to stop and see along Como.

[@mirydean]

I live 30km from lake Como and when we go cycling every Sunday we always seem to find ourselves stopping for coffee and cakes there. Yes l recognized all those roads u were on and there are many more the other side of the lake and much harder climbs too. See u there next time.

[@claudioscarabello7243]

Beautiful video ! I live in Como and I know those streets wery well, Thanks !

[@simonjagassar]

Italy cycling is always amazing in the Lombardia region. I so yearn to go back there

[@queenmysongs]

Thanks Juliet my home place, how many time on the same route. Tears from my eyes

[@jtb52]

Love lake como. Dolomites are so nice. Lake Lugano too went there this summer on Swiss side

[@paulbeech7276]

Water fountain...Covid...🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈. 😁😁😁. Looked stunning scenery....👍👍👍

[@MySTREETvideos]

nice video, thank you. We just came from a Lake Como cycling trip, it was a pleasure to see some of the places we've liked in your video also.

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jstarversus2671]

Amazing place beautiful bike, thank you for sharing this video and more vlog keep safe. from phillipines.

[@paulrfair]

Peschiera lake garda is great for camping, especially the Eurocamp site there. Great pool and kids entertainment.

[@harbaugh34]

Beautiful ride! Varenna is our favorite place in the whole world. We’ve been twice, and took the kids there for the first time last year. Seeing them swim in the lake was one of the highlights of my life. I’ve been looking, and I would like to investigate the possibility of a retirement apartment in Perledo. Just a simple two bedroom at most. Stuff is cheap now, and it’s probably just a pipe dream, but what was it like to live there? I was only up there once, but it seems perfect to me. Quiet and away from the crowds.

[@jamescallan4591]

In Bellagio 12 months ago, so jealous, but loved seeing the area again through your eyes , Grazie molto from Australia

[@mindtheduck5164]

Lake Como is nutty beautiful. Top of my list of places visited.

[@danieleflorean7064]

3:45 that's "fette biscottate" i guess, we usually spread jam on them! After three years abroad I miss italian biscuits so much, they are so hard to find outside the country :(

[@davidepstein1595]

what a well done video...I have friends who live and ride in that area, and I have had the good fortune to ride with them (i.e., they show me around). Your video really gives a good look at a most beautiful cycling paradise. Thanks for posting....

[@juanandresparis5420]

Thank you to take us on These awsome tripp

[@russellromig8969]

I partially did the route on Rouvy, they only have the route going uphill. It's a pretty area!

[@rck812]

what a beautiful place for a bike ride

[@chandlerburrell3001]

Amazing views!

[@robertodinanno9546]

Hi Juliet, it so nice to see you were in Como Lake just a few days ago. I live in Milan so I can go to the lake quite often to enjoy fantastic cicling tours around it. Next time you go to Varenna dont' forget to ride the famous scenery route 65 from Perledo and Esino Lario, crossing the Agueglio Pass !! I hope to meet you over there ! Ciao

[@lucagandolfi4k]

This year september is like summer here in Italy, but it is not always like this year, usually it is raining and less warm

[@sandradunne5239]

Love the music.....may pop that on the bucket list

[@ricusserfontein1086]

Thanx for the lovely tour. You are awsum.

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

you're welcome. Thank you

[@eddyvannuten4097]

we live at lake Como for quit some time now and we do swim in it each year from mid May until end of August.... and we love it.. important is however to finding the right spots... 😀

[@KenJones1961]

Morning! Beautiful views. Italy looks like a place that one could suffer from "Paradox of Choice" in that there are so many beautiful places to visit that it would be hard to choose.

[@debelifratar]

Been last year at beginning of August on Como and Garda. Como had lots of tourists but I would not call it crowded while Garda was full of people. Also that weather is crazy, especially when you start climbing up high. Starting in winter shorts even in summer might be ok when after hour or two temperature drops from 30C to 11C with rain and hail.... ah, good memories.

[@moyashisoba]

I have been a Lake Garda, it looks nearly the same. It's definitely worth a trip. :)

[@nickdavis9280]

Lovely part of the world! I was there a few years ago, it was 40° at the time, too hot to walk about in, let alone ride a bike. Great video!

[@chasc301]

Amazing footage! Biscuits and cheesy crisps? The food of champions! (and ice cream ;). Thanks for the important research on dressing for winter in 27c temps 😎

[@markrushton1516]

Had my 50th birthday in Como. Had a week riding there. Some epic riding, the climb of the ghisallo. Mendrisio across the border is good.

[@elenapiglione334]

Benvenuta in Italia! Very nice video, I'd like to visit my Italy with my bike too!

[@arbjful]

Great. I have been to Lake Como, beautiful place

[@noisiboi7308]

Just got back from Garda on Tuesday, did a lovely ride from Lazise through Bordalino and on to Garda itself... And we could swim! 🤙🏽

[@robenglish416]

Love Italy! Nice bike! September is the best time to be in South of Europe, no tourists!

[@gregfinch1463]

Great video, I could recognise many places even pieces of road from my trip there September 2019

[@tgroberts]

Lake Annecy, the most beautiful place, great swimming and riding 😍

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

It’s sooooooooo busy tho

[@tgroberts]

Ooh and forgot being France the breakfast is much better 🥐

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

This is true

[@alan12de]

@@tgroberts It depends by the Hotel, not by the country...

[@simonward7371]

Nice video Juliet, I've been all round there on a bike - BMW R1200RT - Sorry ! Want to get back to Italy again and do some riding on self propelled version ;-) Love your videos !

[@henrywilson6748]

Hi julie I rode round lake como when I was 60 yrs old over 3 days fantastic ride only thing which was a bit scary was the tunnels I was there because my daughter was working for north face as a designer in Switzerland 😁😁👍👍

[@elio7538]

It was nice to see you cycling in Italy. Greetings from Friuli.

[@michaelhayward7572]

Lake Como. Magnafique (French?). Seen Lake snakes there which put me off swimming. Rode motorcycles 3 times now down there from Blighty. Fantastic ride. Make a week/10 day holiday out of it. Mandello Del Lario, home to Moto Guzzi since 1921, on the shores of... Lake Como...

[@lufo5]

If you have time when you are at Garda lake, not so far there are the dolomites. Best cycle roads ever and epic views. You will love that mountains.

[@marcogosi5761]

😘😘😘😘 greetings from Milano! Welcome to Italy, hope you enjoy🤗🤗

[@Doc_FuZZy]

It looks amazing there. Just got into cycling after not doing so for about 30 years. Love your videos and I get inspired from them to go riding. Wish me luck

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

That's awesome, good luck and enjoy

[@shanew634]

Stunning, rode a motorbike around area last year in the heat wave, ice cream a must.🥵

[@FeathersMcGraw1]

I stayed in Lake Garda on holiday and I thoroughly recommend riding in that area.

[@Grollebol]

Looks great!

[@lisafellers6325]

Looks amazing!! Thanks for sharing! I want to go next month. I was wondering where you’re hotel was?!

[@MAC-ef2es]

As always you are adorable.... even when cooked well done in winter bibs 🤪🤪🤣🤣Yup, lake garda has been on my list for a long time...but thanks to COVID my vacation to Norway was put on hold....I will get to Garda!

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Norway in amazing!! Enjoy!

[@MercuryCircuit]

Love Italy and it's quirks. The biscuits are amazing, but never come across the breakfast biscuit thing. A Cornetto and a coffee seems the norm if you are out and about. E molte buono :)

[@Jcool721]

Thanks, great video! Those tires not rolling for sure :-)

[@raykleiner3151]

Next time your are here check out Lago D'Orta - its the jewel in the northern lakes crown.

[@LTPottenger]

Nice view! Still enjoyed my ride today but would have enjoyed yours even more!

[@59trevski]

Very jealous, looks beautiful, what are those cycling glasses you where wearing please 🙌

[@Vangriff]

Love your video's but the last few have been really great.

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Thanks John, I've been lucky enough to go on some great rides

[@carox51]

You should come to Argentina! Sending love! ❤️

[@silviogrando1850]

Of course Lake Garda is a cool place both for cycling and swimming too! And eating as well! And then come to visit Verona, really close from Lake Garda. Let me know if you need any suggestion.

[@Jaiven]

"Winter" in Italy... Lovely.

[@sarapuharich3140]

This is my dream! You inspire me to keep working to take me on a tour.

[@colmgriffin9467]

Toscolano Maderno...... Lake Garda. Definitely September as the road is busy and narrow in places although lot of cyclists are brave enough to do it 🚲💪. There is a tiny harbour that few know about near the church, great place for a swim 🏊‍♀️. Shhhhssss 🤫 don't tell anyone else about this spot 😉😊. Great video thanks .

[@paviadivingtechshop]

Nice to see a place not distant from where I live and where I go very frequently! You was not so distant from George Clooney's house in Laglio :-)

[@markrushton1516]

Think he has 2 homes out there

[@040SECONDSERVE]

I hope you enjoyed to ride on the Lake Como. Although I live there, I'm surprised every time I ride my bike!

[@dogtoothart217]

North West Coast of Scotland is another insanely beautiful place to cycle. Particularly Ullepool!!

[@haicogh7821]

Hi, first of All nice video and great bike. But.....why No bibshort with that great weather?🤔 Greets

[@bruin4937]

How could you and Dave ever leave VARENNA? My family and I stayed in Varenna for almost a week a few years ago, and we absolutely fell in love with it! I didn't want to return to the U.S.!

[@sleepingdog8525]

Have you ever taken a narrow canal trip? I like the new camera. The picture is so clean I can feel the breeze.

[@silversun111]

Hope you’re accustomed to the water there. I tried some from an outdoor water tap in Rome. Bad idea.

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

YeH, had no problems with it

[@benhaywood2510]

I bloody love Lake Como. Got caught out by the seasonal bus timetable change and ended up hitchhiking back to Milan airport! 🤣

[@KennethSmith-lb4ln]

Great camera and place.

[@craigdenison8925]

Just had an epic week (5/9/20-12/9/20)of cycling in Lake Como based in Cernobbio 350 miles across the week 29 degrees beautiful place lovely house for the six of us mega rides lots of nice food, we loved it, And we swam in lake como most days and once in lake Lugano just in our bibshorts back in the bikes and dry in 20 minutes

[@MangySquirrel]

Oh man, I shot a wedding at Villa D’Este there in town of Cernobbio. Loved that town. We explored the lake via scooter. So great. What a beautiful place... i can hear the bells in your video! Nope, nowhere nicer. Great video, good way to see it. We scootered to swiss border one day up those danged roads you biked!

[@walkaboutphilpots3795]

I got pulled under the water by a Sultana a few years ago , but those Currants do sound dangerous Hehee ;) looks a fab place there.

[@leopoldoparada76]

Hi Juliet, hope to see you in Milano !

[@syazwanabdull4835]

Nice bike...nice view

[@kaffeemitcola6506]

Just take scissors and cut the long trousers to shorts. Despite its a fashion video- more casual fashion on the bike! Great choice of music, was really laughing because my girlfried from italy was seeing this and only smiling, its just funny. La colazione en Italia is not the best start in the day to for a long ride or a long climb in the mountains but they feed you with that.

[@danaconstance]

Fantastic video - top notch stuff! I would like to know what app are you using that alerts you to public water fountains - that's a great feature (especially during times of COVID, a lot of fountains in California are shut down but not all are, strangely). Can you recommend the app?

[@mod-l3e]

Congratulations on your epic trip! Personally I like Lake Garda better. Having cycled around all 4 big lakes in Northern Italy, Como is my no 3.

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Thanks! Looking forward to going there

[@sprocket113]

Fantastic ride, how did you find the water fountains? Was it with an app?

[@giannix1234]

You should go also to the northern part of the Lake. Many campings,you can swim and surf,Domaso,Colico, Dervio,Gravedona,Sorico,and you are next to Valtellina and Val di Mello, the Yosemite Valley of Europe, and the Ponte nel Cielo,the Tibetan bridge higher in Europe.Take a look in KZbin.

[@philiplenehan2971]

You are one luck girl cycling there as part of your job. I need to give up banking!

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

If you’re in banking you can presumably take holidays there whenever you like 😉 This is the only way I can get there 🤣

[@francot8006]

Very cool! love the south American music theme ;)

[@Alberto.81]

@3:45 it's called "fette biscottate" I guess it's rusks in english. As italian been living overseas for several years it's hard to find them seem like just italian and few other country know it.

[@rafaellarocha4732]

such an inspiration, holy damn!! my gravel bike just got here yesterday, i want to b just like u when i grow up lol =)

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Aw, thanks! Enjoy

[@davidadamus177]
