Road to Zurich - Day 1 - Lake Como and the Mortirolo

[@zingarovskij]

My neighborhood! Did Mortirolo 20+ years ago and cruised around Como lake during my golden years! You know ... for us italian cyclists the Mortirolo will be always Marco Pantani's climb. Great to see you there, lads!

[@SAFABrian]

❤️ Pantani

[@logan_nosal458]

I've rewatched all of the Tour to the Tour videos so many times, I love your work Safa especially with bikepacking films.

[@SAFABrian]

Love to hear it!

[@arthursosajr.2031]

Mortirolo from Mazzo is the toughest climb I have done. I did that in the rain. You guys did it with 100 miles on the legs!

[@jsnmgrn]

Binging your solo videos during covid got me into cycling. These epic journeys you continue to take inspire me to keep at it. 🚴⏪🙏

[@dleetr]

He's the boss.

[@SAFABrian]

Glad to hear it!

[@Cobr3tti]

Gorgeous to having you guys riding on italian road! Welcome to Italy and thumbs up for you!

[@SAFABrian]

Grazie

[@tonyfreer1852]

Amazing to see that again along with the other video, did all of those for first time in July. Truly amazing iconic climbs and that Mortirolo is so so hard with relentless pitches

[@riknbkr330]

Mortirolo is a beast and I could feel it on the legs like you guys were. Did it twice in a week...the first half from Mazzo to the turn then back to Sondalo, and on to Tirano. Amazing and can't wait to do that again. That area is cycling heaven!

[@lucasbrunelle]

Switzerland is surreal, nice film once again

[@maciejgodorowski2032]

Peak bike tripping content. I love it, can't wait for next episodes.

[@VendetaBrown]

The best cycling series on the internet is back! I am tickled pink.

[@carmafluxus]

I guess everyone dreams of living somewhere else once in a while. Whenever I do, sooner or later I remember what privilege it is to live 2 car hours north of the Alps. If you have a week off, you can get on your bike outside your door and cycle over the passes to Italy. 🙏

[@mcalc]

Just need to convince Alex to go blonde and you can be the matrix twins 🤙

[@SAFABrian]

😂😂😂

[@xelseartheonlyone1267]

Safa you are my favorite cyclist. Thanks for all the content.

[@SAFABrian]

Wow, thanks

[@kozmicbluescali1]

Thank you guys for showing the bicycles set up and specially the tires.

[@roadglide]

100% Love the Conti GP 5k in 32mm. Ya’ll are rock’n the Assos very nicely. I’m also digging the Ducati Multi V4S! Woohoo! Let’s go! Life is smooth. Life is good on two wheels. More in 24!

[@SAFABrian]

Some proper nice gear. Lucky us!

[@killermicrobe]

The quality of these vids is off the chain!

[@TomHeavey]

Great video, some effort by you guys. Loved the clean screen with no data 📈. Looking forward to the next episode

[@VT___]

Love the footage Brian. I wish I had time to ride this much and also to be riding in such beautiful scenery. Subbed!

[@ramsden35]

Brilliant! “Clicking for a gear that I knows not there” Story of my life

[@SAFABrian]

😅

[@JRmntain]

Ah what a nice surprise. Love your adventure docs 👍

[@Taryldor]

Awesome to see another one of these tours. These are always so well filmed and are super inspiring!

[@SAFABrian]

Cheers!

[@ColinCharles3D]

It's always a pleasure to see you 3 together, loved the vlog guys. Have a good trip !

[@enriquee.k3329]

Another great cycling video from the king 👑, Thanks for sharing, enjoying every minute

[@SAFABrian]

My pleasure

[@stapablo21]

Great video Safa! The images, the routes and the chosen music too. Keep it up!

[@SAFABrian]

Thanks a lot!

[@TJ-uh5rh]

Love the bike adventures can’t wait to follow along to Zurich

[@shaunowen5829]

‘Haute route’ is waiting for you safa

[@agentofart5425]

Great spirit, great crew! You guys rock it!

[@SAFABrian]

Thank you!

[@dj_anabel]

оболдеть Сафа, я смотрел когда у тебя было тыщ 15 подпищиков. Молодцом

[@SAFABrian]

Thanks for being there from the early days ❤️

[@dj_anabel]

@@SAFABrian Так держать! Вело кайф в массы!)

[@oquemaur]

Cool vibe to this trip!

[@aminostruth3494]

You boys are fit seasoned riders so it must have been a tough ride. Also illustrates the super human nature of the pros that race a distance like that including the Mortirolo, and non stop! Wtf!! 😄

[@SAFABrian]

Yeah totally different level, hard for regulars to comprehend how fast the pros go

[@Андрей-с7ь8п]

Классная компания! Молодцы, толпой всегда весело покатать. Топчик👍

[@claudeschweizer3932]

ahh, love it.

[@JoeyCarbone_1]

Anyone know what brand SAFA Brian’s rear rack is? Thanks in advance

[@nathangirardot1718]

Here for the same thing haha EDIT I found it : Tailfin bags.

[@JoeyCarbone_1]

@@nathangirardot1718 Siiiick! Thanks man \0

[@mecatt公路车和音乐分享]

Very nice and cool

[@zokpls8712]

Let’s gooooooooooo awesome ride guys

[@brisbanebiking]

ah Safa I saw you using pocket 3! and Alex you need more sleep! cant wait for the next video!

[@chrissywissythewishwishfairy]

So ace!

[@mihaylo_kovin]

Awsome!

[@geothunder1971]

Safa has pulled off the 52-34 chainring conundrum! I've been told it won't work on Sram axs drivetrains, but you won't know until you've tried

[@SAFABrian]

Shifting is not as smooth but it works. Not sure about sram, don't use that on the road.

[@j.i__w.o.o.n]

👑Great safa👑

[@zeuslord2869]

awesome.

[@dleetr]

Nice work chaps. Next trip, meat centric keto for sustained energy and less soreness. Well if you can hold yourself back from the epic pastries that are everywhere

[@SAFABrian]

Taylor is vegan and crushing it so I think we're good on that diet 😂

[@smirzakhmatov]

Perfect

[@RockyManiti]

@SAFA Brian what kind of action cam are you using in your POV?

[@kevinc1323]

🚴💨 Way to rip it up the mountain boys

[@charlesdonly776]

Life is short. Way to live it.

[@saulgood6909]

I couldn't find any link to the bags you have. Those are by far the slickest I've seen and Wouldn't mind strapping that to my rig instead of carrying crap in my saddle bag and jersey on long adventure rides. I've seen so many that just look ugly and just look like they don't belong anywhere near a Gravel/Road set up. Someone help a dude.

[@tomasz8039]

Check Tailfin bags.

[@MrCuchu3]

​@@tomasz8039ty mate. Great design but quite pricey 😢

[@retovogler103]

No sleep til Zurich. See you there. : )

[@SAFABrian]

😵‍💫🫡

[@dougarch]

Everyone has that friend like Taylor - energiser bunny, and absolutely zero cda to hide behind 😂

[@D0M1N1CZ]

Layne Staley good to see you

[@SAFABrian]

❤️

[@nhknhk078]

Is there a man who smiles more than Taylor? :)

[@SAFABrian]

Smiling assassin. But on this trip he at least pulls us up to almost the top before dropping us 😂

[@johnsmith-zf1fd]

How is Taylor so fit?

[@SAFABrian]

Lots of training, very disciplined

[@Big_Island_Boi]

4200 ft of elevation gain in just 7 miles. That's steep. I live and ride in the Rockies so I'm used to climbing. But it's rare I do a segment that is that steep.

[@SAFABrian]

Mortirolo is no joke 😅

[@reflectionsdetail]

Are you descending off the Stelvio into Switzerland?

[@SAFABrian]

We filmed that on our rest day 😂. Will come out eventually, it was an epic ride.

[@reichen98416]

What about the back rack? Would you share the info? Thx!

[@janscheuring2642]

Its Tailfin Carbon AreoPack

[@IDK._X]

😎 cool

[@RustyRaine1]

What is the brand of the rear pack frame bag?

[@janscheuring2642]

Its Tailfin Carbon AreoPack

[@talibe801]

💪👍

[@Zhanna-f9v]

👍👍👍

[@trollgapuzden]

The only It's a good trip Hello, Sashko)))

[@Testbug-dy6tj]

I'm scared to go so fast. Especially with all that extra weight on the bikes.

[@bruno444]

Start slow. He has been a bike courier for long years, it's not his first time definitively.

[@SAFABrian]

The extra weight definitely complicates things. Better to get down in one piece than ruin a trip.

[@posojob]

is SAFA brother of Yelawolf? :D

[@firstnamelastname9013]

👏👏👍👍❤❤

[@CanJmpToo]

No way! I ride these roads each and every day, would have loved to buy you guys beers . I know that ride pretty well, you really need steel legs to hit Mortirolo after the lake Como plus the valley

[@SAFABrian]

🍻

[@PhArsic-wc8uh]

The video is too short !

[@BPM-xh4yu]

how can a man with balls of steel also be such a whinger

[@eivissastef]

What you influencers call ""adventure" these days, we call it "looking into a strangers face"". Where have you been end of the eighties when we climbed off road Gavia with 39/25 .... on 25mm tires?¿ what a lame video! looking at your faces most of the time.

[@Emilien-hy3sy]

The Stelvio is one of the most beautiful pass in the world! I'm looking forward to the next vid

[@SAFABrian]

It's up!

[@dinglerdangler]

yooooo this is sick. love seeing familiar places being riden by some cool dudes

[@vanhelmen3168]

Ciao Bello! 🤌Stelvio is going to be great! See you at the top!

[@BicycleBoys_road]

Lake como is beautiful! Great production. @turbotimkomt
