DOWNHILL GRAVEL RIDE IN THE DOLOMITES

After two big road rides in the Dolomites, Mike & I figured it’s time for a recovery gravel ride. Luckily you’ve got just the thing here to help if you don’t want to do any climbing 😉

[Laughter] oh Grow a lifestyle morning welcome to our second video in the dolomites but probably the first one you will see because yesterday we shot an epic ride in which we tried new road shoes we shot a little campaign for them so we can only release the video

When the shoes are released so i guess that one isn’t out yet and this one will be out so hey welcome to the dolomites mike is here we’re staying at the melodia del posco for a couple days before we move on to vasano or later to tuscany in italy

And as i said yesterday we did a pretty epic ride on the road so today is a really easy relaxed gravel recovery ride with the help of a little special summon summon that will make sure we don’t have to climb the bikes we found our helping hand after

Yesterday no climbing for us today let’s see if we’re allowed to take our bikes up here Yeah this is also oh there’s not another one one way to do it this is a scarier version it was a long climbing it was hard very hard we would build a church here there’s nobody here not even a village just church people do also want to have some peace

Walking up in the past praying a little bit more farmers living here and then going together to the church So This might be the road yeah My left shoe just became twice as heavy talking about shoot locations looks cool you are the same colors yeah camouflage [Applause] no climbing closet laughs [Applause] i think this is one of the most idyllic places that i’ve ever seen it’s crazy reminds me a lot of switzerland

It’s not a movie everybody is working at christmas end of the road so really good views it’s more surfing and riding refill time it was a big help yesterday that we could fill our bottles next to the road i’m just going to continue doing this [Applause] Not the worst place to puncture for a tubeless plug after last time in the air dance the debacle oh yeah i brought them let’s see if they work do you want to use i used i use it it’s not a real dino plug it’s a cheap one i cannot work with this

Because i’m a cheap person how do you use it the last time like this like a fork yeah then you push it in pull it out but i’m done yeah like that yes yeah push it all the way in there all the way in go to that oh

It’s twice as big yeah but then you do it like this twist it around with some more gum the chance that that work is zero zero point zero this is definitely not working we might have made it worse it’s healed no if i hold it like this it’s okay

Okay just hold it like this all the time question to the viewers how do you do with the tubeless blocks you take a big one why why is your the the head of the so huge though because you want to put the bacon the big one in it the horse not was not

Bigger than this and you’re going to put this in yeah you’re the girlfriend right you know that’s not working oh good lesson what is the lesson don’t use tubeless blokes or never use plugs never use plugs we learned another lesson perfect we’re just going to put an inner tube in

There and continue i think that was the last hundred meters of grove right probably yeah after this it’s only [Applause] turmeric check out this dolomites honey farm yeah this is the gravel path that runs all the way along the river that ends up at the hotel which means we’re almost back

We’ve got a little bit of climbing to do and then we can take another breath over the river it’s pretty cold this cold it’s good to have a 30 40 in the back okay i was expecting a clear path but this exploring is also fun fun but steep it’s 30 or something

Maybe we should have taken the road why this is a good good experience another overkill bridge for the two houses upstairs up here and i suppose we can rotate them yes no pr of the password Another random church is also a good lesson for a lot of people you always want to climb and do your performance but now need to do 10 minutes elevator and we have a two-hour extremely beautiful day yeah without any effort too much this is a good recovery day yeah yeah but then

Still so much fun exactly don’t feel ashamed to take the goomba no top tip take the gondola
