Riding the Stelvio!!

Hit the Stelvio at last, it was insane, so many switchbacks!! We took it easy in preparation for doing it from both sides the next day but the altitude of the climb definitely gets to you. It was a little busy with traffic and motorbikes and pretty cold at the top so didn't hang around too long up there! Stay tuned for the next vid where we tackle it from both sides with the umbrail pass!!

6:12 m I don't think I have ever seen a more pristine piece of tarmac in my life.

[@VeloVegan]

why can't all roads be like this !!

[@tomkunich9401]

the weather will break the payment down eventually but they don't have truck traffic on that road so it'll take a longer than it would on say a city street.

[@freedomis556]

awesome video...as always👍

[@VeloVegan]

thanks Steve! 🙏

Usually a 10km plus hike up a mountain.

[@VeloVegan]

Orange jers thinks he's in the tour. #restday #settledown

[@VeloVegan]

Bretzky haha #legopeners 😜

[@C.Medina]

Love it, great video! a few questions if you can answer. Do you guys stayed in one place during all these time in the alps, or crashed in different places? How difficult is to find and book a place to stay in all those areas?

[@VeloVegan]

hey we stayed in 3 different airbnbs, i have a car with me so we drove in between places etc. It was pretty easy finding places even with tdf on in chambery and it being summer!

[@C.Medina]

That's great then! What a experience you must had. thanks for sharing.

[@peter_kropotkin_]

knocking one out

[@VeloVegan]

sorry should have marked it NSFW due to all the switchback porn

[@MartinOroszi]

Are you guys just staying in the same place and riding from there every day?

[@VeloVegan]

Martin Oroszi yeah we stayed in 3 places for around 5 days each, grenoble, chambery and bormio!

[@MartinOroszi]

nice one! definitely on my list now

[@dickmartino9933]

Lol/. When the pros hit 40km/h + average it's because of repaved roads.

[@VeloVegan]

the truth is out, wheres my world tour contract
