Where in the world would you like to ride your bike?
i guess i can strike out the last one
Le Ventoux by Bédoin ! Did it on speed skates (we were the first to do it in speed skates in 2001), I would like to redo it on a bike and even do the other 2 climbs in the same day.
You must try n.z in summer , or Tasmania
Absolutely! I am from San Francisco, Marin is probably your best bet! I ve seen cyclist ride and camp along highway 1 that might be the challenge you guys are looking for! 😁👍🏾
Northern California illustrated by multiple views of the LA region (including the Hollywood sign)?! WTF?
I think Colorado beats Cali hands down.
Western North Carolina in mid October.
UMMM…. Those scenes were SOUTHERN California, lol. <3
Brazil. All disciplines in cycling, all kinds of terrains. GCN is missing a season arround here.
O Will stop on 10 places because I don’t wanna die.
Unfortunately financially I would never be in a position to ride in these amazing locations; however, after watching a fair bit of racing on GCN+, I think if I could afford it, I would love to ride the fjordes of Norway. The Artic tour stage race had some amazing scenery that would be such a buzz riding. One can always dream!
Best part of the video: title screen: Northern California—superimposed over the Los Angeles skyline, plus shots of Hollywood Blvd, the Hollywood sign and Santa Monica mountains.😂😂😂. Close enough! I mean it’s the same state, right? Never mind that you’re almost 400 miles off….
For other great rides in the States check out Colorado, Washington, and Utah.
Here’s a vote for Canada’s Atlantic Provinces – Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island etc. Great scenery, challenging cycling and all you can eat
You show Hollywood but thats not NorCal..
In the USA, Glacier National Park, Going to the Sun Road is breathtaking. 17 miles at about a 6% grade. Just be sure and take your bear spray. You never know what you'll find. Open to only cyclist s before July.
why are you showing LA when talking about "Northern California" ? LA is southern cal, as is all the footage you are showing
& the video you mention was shot in the LA area as well.
Manchester & Peak District
How can you miss the spots in Western Canada? OMG definitely deserves somewhere in top 3.
"Northern California"
Shows us Los Angeles……
Can't believe Olly said the Lakes instead of the Dales – wtf?!!!
For the states, Colorado is the obvious correct answer here! Stay out of Cali!
the bliss time before covid . then we all know what happend one month later
Is the tires any good?
I'm getting a bit annoyed about Canada never being mentionned in your travelling segments or others. Why are the canadian Rockies never mentionned is puzzling to me as well as other parts of this immense beautiful country. Want the french expérience and great food try Québec, want remotness, bike the Yukon, red gravel roads and beautiful seaside rides, Prince Edward Island is the place. It's even named after one of your royals! So many more that would take too long to list here. I dare you to not find amazing places to ride.
The Canadian Rockies!
That was SoCal
I sure wish you guys would come over to the States and Ride Ragbrai with us!!!!!! Look it up!!! Love your videos!!! Thanks for all you do!
Its not that adventurous, but how about the Isle of Wight, that's an amazing place. Also, the north coast road in Northern Ireland would be fantastic.
Excellent!
Top 10 places to ride if you don't want to die : 1 to 7) anything in the Pyrenees, go higher than the cols with MTB or gravel but respect other users, farming and nature protection legislation, 8. Causses and gorges near Millau, 9. Corsica, 10. Picos de Europa
Manabao ,Republica Dominicana
Constanza , Dominican Republic are 2 amazing rides..
Hey I love the channel but as a cyclist from Northern California it was rough watching clips of dry Los Angeles when describing my area. There’s so much beauty that viewers missed!
You are welcome to be my guest in Serbia. There is a lot of great palaces and nice weather.
Great review guys, but the best cycling route in the USA is highway 1 in California from Carmel by the sea to Morro Bay. Breathtaking views and temperatures between 13 and 20 degrees C guaranteed in June – August
