It’s been two years since I’ve been abroad, so I am finally in Switzerland, riding roads I have dreamed of for years, The Furka Pass, Saint Gottardo and the Nufonen Pass. Would they live up to all that excitement?
We are here for 5 days exploring the Swiss Alps, hopefully the 2000m plus summits, won’t break us!!

What a great trip. Glad it worked out and excellent video,
Unbelievable scenery and roads from cycling heaven! Sorry to see you were struggling Darren, but you do seem to enjoy suffering? 🤣
Nice to see the club with you on that one Darren. Switzerland is a great country with very good scenery. Not many flat roads it seems but you like the hills don't you. Brilliant video Darren and thanks for showing. The editing was also exceptional very enjoyable.
Fantastic ride Darren and company what Fantastic beautiful scenery and great roads. The cobbled sections look better than most of the uk roads
Enjoy the rest of your time in Switzerland.
That looks utterly brilliant. I want to be there now. Oh and this might be the best YouTube video I’ve ever watched!
Just WOW 👍
In a word jealous except for the icky side of things 😂 looks amazing!!
I said OMG about 4 times in first minute, absolutely bloody awesome, what a place to ride, looks brilliant and well done Darren, you never gave up ,felt for you on that last climb. Great to see some of the Mendip crew with you. Really great vlog bud, well edited as well fella👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Another great video Darren, with great views & well edited. Good to see some of the Mendip cc with you ☺
Fantastic Darren – riding with mates in such a wonderful place. Nothing compares to those Swiss roads and mountain passes! PS Not sure I could do the Nufenen – I think I read somewhere that Cancellara rates it as the toughest climb in Switzerland!
Cant believe you opted for that scenery and challenge over the Somerset levels Darren??
Almost looked like a post card prop behind you at times, picture perfect views! Great effort as always chaps!! 👏🏽
Wow! What an amazing place to ride! Can't wait for the next one!
Bloody hell, thought I was watching the Tour de France for a moment(lol!). Guess you now know why pro bike riders are built like stick insects. Can’t wait for the next instalment great to see you and your mates having fun in such beautiful surroundings. Catch you on your next vid 👍
Wow, what a fantastic place to enjoy riding with your friends. Have a superb time 👍
Well son, you had me worried at the . “I can’t breath , my hearts racing , I’ve been sick bit “ but WOW what an amazing achievement l love Switzerland. But not been that high. Just looked from below. Looking forward to your next ride, BUT from a Mom type comment . For goodness sake take care ! 🥰👍🏆
Simply excellent 👌
Thanks for that Darren. Splendid scenery but I will be sticking to South Somerset and Dorset, I know my limits.
Could not make it half way through the video without commenting– want an absolute dream of a ride! Stunning views, thanks you for sharing. Its great motivation to keep riding and begin planning these types of adventures! CHEERS!!
It reminds me of my 3 trips to the Pyrenees in 2007,8,9 , my basic training for doing hills was riding around Wales 🏴 , wasn’t prepared for the climbing 6mph Col de port, col de Portlet, d’ Aspet , col de Saraille and few other ones as well in 30c we stay in a B&B in Masset it was more of one col a day with a cafe and cake stop pity had no Strava in those days , but what achievement for you Darren that ice cream looks gorgeous 🍺👍⭐️👏💪🥵
That looked classic. Glad you did the climbing though while I sat back on the sofa 😂
So womderful. I miss Swiss. Great vids. Subbed.
3rd time watching this. Can't just get enough. Boys are cool.
Hi, where abouts did you base yourselves pls? Would you recommend that or suggest another location might be better> Ta!
