should've put metrics
Dan, what the hell is your Garmin doing over there?! That lack of symmetry would drive me (and Simon, I'm sure) crazy! Get it sorted.
Which GoPro camera were you guys using and what settings did you choose for the video? I'm having troubles getting the best quality out of mine during rides. I'm using the GoPro Hero 4 Silver. Thanks a bunch
Am I the only one that prefers the GoPro mounted below the stem to the GoPro worn as a chesty. Somethig so weird about having what looks like alien arms in the view. And I like the view of the levers framing the road so you can see when the rider applies the brakes or shifts. Why would you mount your garmin so far to the right Dan? Seems like it would limit hand positions. Awsome descent keep it up GCN!
I nearly soiled myself just watching that. How do you walk around and ride bike with such huge testicles?
Dan, does that head unit position not really bug you? Couldn't deal with that need symmetry.
woow
nice brake sound
how fast do you get? i got stressed just watching–how do you go so fast without kneepads or protective gear!?
what no wind breaker jacked? I went to col de la croix de fer yesterday and went to decent off the glandon nearly froze up there
Nice video. I think it'll be much better if you throw in some real time stats like speed, elevation, gradient and position on the course. The more the better of course :D. I believe some action camera like garmin virb has this kind capability, why don't you guys use them? Keep the good works, really love the show.
I like to shout in the tunnel it gives a really good echo. Shame we missed you guys …
Who knew Dan was that much of a Renegade to go around the Police!? A tattoo might be in order for that. #GCNLawless
POV!? That sounds like bike-porn…
You guys have to hold back (other cyclists/motorist) and it still looked amazing , I can't even imagine what it must be like in a race
thanks for another nice video. overtaking cars on (-11) grades mountain roads is rewarding enough for climbing them back (or vice versa).
your handlebar wrapping is kind of … short on the tops. is this common for flat-top bars ? (i have to wrap my new ergo handlebars and i am thinking that it will be pity to cover that beautiful 3k look…)
Dan waving to his one adoring fan?
Make a video on the different types of overtaking and attacking opponents in a race. I hear there are techniques. Pls make a " How to Overtake / Attack video.
Crazy lad painting the asphalt at 10:54!
i wonder what speeds you are doing on that decent.
for 2017 add a speedo on here and altimeter, pls
This, is why we climb : )
That just took my breath away!
What was the average speed?
Wow, there are too much RV, Are they on vacation or only weekend? I never seen more RV that much.
