bottom most things look s but I don’t want to catch any coaches so I’m going to have a coffee at the top I’m just going to get going now pretty cold on that descent and uh there’s quite a few dudes who’ve set up before so there’s something to attack but I’m sticking to the plan 260 the whole way up enjoy it first and for most but beat last year L Muchachos H I did it h Amigos H 37:51 provisional time 10 minutes off my PB it’d be interesting the power there were bits where I couldn’t hold 260 when it got flat and it was just difficult I think it’s definitely a climb that experience will help shave off a lot of time but I am buzzing with 3751 better than I thought I’d get all Migos mucho fantastic go ombre don’t know what accent that was just high on mejoran life right now because it’s hard not to be when you’re just cruising around like this in this weather on these roads amig go yeah just that view is breathtaking the GoPro won’t do it justice I sto back there for a few photos it’s phenomenal and totally now in just relax and enjoy mode for the rest of this ride because the target that was set out has been achieved and my legs are toast wait so freestyle P my legs are gone met strong Swiss France that’s not a country that’s his name but he’s very strong W day he brought me the seing route about 5 miles back from camp for say hola hola hola time can’t pick all but yeah

    2. Great video Russ. 👍 Sa Calobra and cap formentor are fantastic. Cycling paradise. Nice to be in this vlog with my brother. Funny that we saw eachother before we met.

    3. Great to see you releasing videos on a regular basis Russ, sound and video quality were excellent, congratulations on improving your PB, determination mate! Really liked the scenery it was very beautiful, the climbs do not look too easy either, good workout there! Nice that you make an effort to say hi to all you meet, but hey that has always been you:-) Keep the videos coming my friend!

    4. Well done that fellow Blighty man 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 and I'm not jealous of the fine weather there, as i ride around liverpool and the surrounding area's in multiple layers because it's still sodding cold, and we are at the end of April 😜😜😜

    5. Great work on the PBs! Also have you done the Talaia d'Albercutx on the Fermentor road? I want to add it to my lighthouse ride but don't know if best to do on the way out or back
