Hi Marvin - we’re so so happy to hear that you enjoyed the video🙏, Garda is such an uplifting place 🤩👌. Here’s to the spring and some sun and fun - stay healthy and happy 👍
Davide is a truly lovely guy to ride out with, Agnes - the consummate gentleman and host 👌 I adore cycling in this area - literally cycling perfection, and nice to have little moments to go slow and take it all in 🤩
Pleasure Shanon 💯 - this is for sure one of the most beautiful places to explore 🤩 I very much hope you get to travel to Italy and experience it for yourself 👍
Cheers DieselDizzy 🙏 - and for sure add it to your list of places to explore. I adore the entire area - always exquisite (and the espresso and biscotti ain’t bad either 👌😁)
@@BikeRacingWithoutMercy yes hopefully, recovering from surgery on my back but have early September booked in Cisano for 5 days spinning. A fantastic place to visit. Cheers
Thanks ever so much Stephen 🙏 - and Jayne is super appreciative on the edit 💯😊 - a truly exquisite part of the world, and during the edit I too am pining for the climbs with friends in the spring 💯👌
Thanks ever so much Paul 🙏 - and for sure it’s a wow wow wow… wow kind of place 💯🤩 . I too love the scenery and rhythm of cycling in Italy - absolute perfection. I can’t recommend Lake Garda enough 👌
Well it's not often in totally gobsmacked when watching a video Phill, but my oh my, what a place to ride. Going up through that village on that tiny cobbled road. These are rides to dream about. I'd be lying out of my back teeth of I said I wasn't jealous 😃. This is without doubt your finest video to date. I enjoyed it so much, after watching on the Amazon fire, I went and watched again on my 55inch TV to really take it all in. Thanks for sharing Phill, absolutely appreciated.
Wow! Tony !! Jayne and I are blown away, this means a huge amount to us 🙏💯😊 - and for sure Jayne did justice to the scenery in the edit 🤩. I to have to say it was for me a dream ride - plenty of pottering and exploring and stopping to take in the scenery, and that climb through the town of Castelletto was something very very special - I didn’t even look at my bike computer let alone realise my HR was so high - literally views on views, and so much intrigue . The pleasure to share this is all ours ! And thanks for watching on the big screen 👍
Jayne is super grateful for your lovely compliments, Pierre-Alain 🙏 Garda is indeed a happy place for me - a place for little adventures and making memories. Thanks ever so much 🙏
Cheers, Ian - and agreed, it’s an exquisite part of the world 🤩👌 - always puts a massive smile on my face from the moment I clip in, and having just finished the edit, makes me want to return as soon as poss 💯
🤣 yep - feel your pain TFC ! I’m generally stuck in the flat working from home - but here’s to more adventures for us all, come spring and summer 💯 Thanks ever so much 🙏
Thanks ever so much Chris 🙏 - and agreed, truly an exquisite part of the world, absolutely adore exploring around there 🤩 . Yep - that Dogma F, was lovely to ride with the Shimano 💯
Cheers Adam 🙏 - and as a Pinarello aficionado yourself, I can reconfirm that the Dogma F was superb to ride - absolute pleasure whether cruising, cornering or climbing 👌 Hope you and the family are keeping well - and here’s to the spring 👍
Thanks Pete 🙏 - I did indeed thoroughly enjoy riding the Dogma F - and the Specialised and Cipollini look even better in the flesh - Cipolini has pearlescent white paint🤩
Ciao Davide the Great ! Thanks ever so much for once again, laying on some amazing adventures in Lake Garda, Davide 🙏 From the moment I arrive at the hotel, and clip in, I have a massive smile on my face 😊💯 And Mille grazie for your incredible artistic film work - it enabled us to make the most of the amazing weekend in the edit 👌🤩. See you soon !
Thanks ever so much Darryl 🙏 - and agreed, it’s perfection 👌. And in the spring through early Autumn, Monte Balde is on another level also - spectacular
Thanks ever so much Andrew 🙏 - Italy gave us some incredible scenery to work with 🤩 And for sure - I had no idea about the climb before we started - other than it was steep, and when we hit that section… I was almost euphoric - so incredible. The Jersey is Cafe du Cycliste - and amazing in the cold 👌
Agreed Jack 💯 - it’s an exquisite port of the world 🤩 , so so many different experiences, riding the flats around the lakes, through the rolling terrain and the wineries, and then the hills into the mountains - perfection 👌 Hope you get back there 👍
Thanks ever so much Simon - super generous of you 🙏 And for sure, I’m super fortunate to be able to experience moments like this 💯 - climbing in Italy, is a little taste of heaven, and definitely makes me feel alive also 👌🤩
This video makes me just want to jump into my car and drive to lake Garda. Excellent video, beautiful shots, great host, and magnificent editing by Jayne as always.
So lovely to hear that Marco ! And for sure you and Inge would have a wonderful time there - something for everyone . Jayne is super grateful for your kudos on the edit 🙏 - one of her best for sure 👌
Hi antanta, Garda is absolutely one of my happy places, absolutely sublime 🤩, and highly reccomended 💯 I hope to get back out there this year once recovered from my injuries and reccomend Garda Bike Hotel 💯👌
I’m glad your into the mechanical end of cycling also. It’s always nice to see what people ride and how they personalize their bikes. The bikes themselves are one of the most interesting parts of cycling.
Thanks ever so much pjdelucia 🙏 - I do live the bikes and the mechanicals - and given the cost of it all, I know it’s nice to get an a biased review (basic though my skills are in this regard ) 👍
Beautiful views all around those parts, and it looks like quite a few high peeks as well. Nice one! 😍 Davide, one of the true luxury guides/pace-setters and camera men in one that we've come across on the channel. Always nice to see him back. 👏 The cows - like the sheep - are hard to direct when shooting a movie. It's easy ton understand though, when they're met with a first-hand behind-the-scenes look into BRWM 😁
100% Lord 👌 - Davide is the consummate host, cyclist, guide, artist and all round gentleman - an absolute joy to hang out with. And agreed, I need to up my cow herding game - was the same in the Lake District on the Struggle - the Long Haired cows (on The Struggle) were mooing away merrily, and as soon as I hit record, they walked away !!!
Thanks ever so much Sean - thats super kind of you to say so ! 🙏 And for sure as the edit took shape, I too was inspired to get back out on the bike in the cold today 💯. And here’s to the spring and summer - and plenty of little adventures for us all 👍
Hi Phil, great Content… such an enjoyable watch, just scrolled thigh the comments, surprised nobody has asked you Watch the drum and bass backing track is?? Love it! Thanks…
Cheers Mark - thats massively kind of you to say so, and hugely appreciated 💯 A sensational part of the world for R&R, hiking or cycling 🤩 The song it Get Altitude by Fred & Grafix. If I use a song, I put the details in the video description 👍
Thanks ever so much Carlo - as it happens I’ve just downloaded an App to learn Italian (work allowing time 🥵). As you know - this is an exquisite part of the world, literally views on views 🤩. The jacket is from Cafe du Cycliste, and it’s been excellent this winter 👌
I just wished you'd allowed Davide to speak without interrupting him. He seemed like a great guy. Lake Garda is a great place to ride a bike. Stunningly beautiful. I worked in Verona and around Lake Garda for 2 years many years ago. The other side is even more beautiful. Now the pedestrian walkway cycle route hanging off the cliff face has been built on the west side of the lake south of Rive del Garda it is a must see and must ride. Also the mountains west and north of Garda are spectacular as well as the Trentino valley across to Cortina D'Amprezzo and then onto the Dolomites. Spectacular area to live to ride a bike.
Thanks ever so much Alex - and appreciate the feedback 🙏 - I’ve seen some pictures of the walkway, and it certainly looks like a must do ride 🤩. I’ve previously climbed Monte Baldo and Perri Fosse with Davide - and adored those climbs also. I’ll be heading back out to Italy a couple of times this year at least - so will take up your recommendations - thanks ever so much 👍
I watched your first Garda visit with a vested interest. Did i tell you i have been there (1999)! when we where in Garda we got tickets to see Pavarotti in Modena. The concert was Pavarotti & Friends for Guatemala and Kosovo. Also, been up mount Boldo on the cable car not the bike!...........I shall learn from the master. Jane, the video's are getting better and better, #kudos Italian bike,, its got to be Campagnolo x
What an incredible experience and privilege to see Pavarotti - let alone in Lake Garda, Neil 💯👌. And agreed about Monte Baldo - literally a sublime climb (and pretty steep for 11km 🥵) - love Italy 😍
Beautiful video as always Phill, that climb is stunning 😍 also really enjoying the different tone with the backing music in these last few videos mate, edit really getting the best out of the exceptional footage.
Jayne says thanks ever so much on the edit, Nick - and for sure she’s taking things to another level 💯 It’s a really exception place for a couple of outdoor types like you and Rhiannon - hiking, trails to run, gravel, and all kinds of views and bikes to explore them with … plus more than a few wineries and the home of tortellini 😋
@@chrissinclair6086 that’s lovely of you Chris - and massively appreciated 🙏 - Jayne really does put huge effort into the edits, so super appreciated 💯
Love your posts Phil, the are always so cinematic, but you’ve excelled with this one mate. It’s a gem. And bonus a bike review too, admittedly of a bike I am unlikely to ever own, but it was a nice addition.
Thanks ever so much Jonathan - that means a huge amount to Jayne and I 🙏 - Lake Garda delivered some amazing material to work with for this one - and Jayne’s edit did it justice 💯 Here’s so plenty of adventures for us all in 2022 👍
What a great video and full of possitive energy! I’ve been watching it with a constant smile on my face 🙂 I love Garda but so far I have ridden only my MTB bike there. It is high time to change it 😉
That’s amazing of you to say so, Tomasz 🙏 - it was incredible to get back out there, and for sure - an amazing place to explore around the lake, and also up into some of the mountains like Monte Baldo and Perri Fosse 🤩
Congrats mate, first of all you look so happy Phil :))) Excellent roads and cows :))) By the way, you made legendary climbs :))) The italian alps is a paradise as you say. And pinarello is perfect but Willier numberone dude !!! It was incredibly enjoyable to watch. Thank you indeed Phil. I'm looking forward to new videos. See you dear mate.
Roads, climbs, views and cows…. especially the cows (which have become a regular feature 🤣) And agreed, Atakan, this is cycling paradise, all kinds of different terrain, ranging from beautiful flat TTs (or coffee rides around the lakes and valleys) through rolling terrain amongst the wineries and then the hills and mountains - perfection 👌 And for sure - Wilier = No 1 💙
Absolutely breathtaking views Phill. It took me back a few years ago when I went to Cortina Absolutely fantastic climbing and views to Mach what a place to live if you like climbing or just Try to my case 😂
Lake Garda whether in the mountains, by the lake or touring the countryside, vineyards and little towns always delivers, doesn’t it Nick 💯🤩 - I’ll have to research Cortina - I hear incredible things . Hope you get back out there for some spring or summer adventures 👍
Hi Morton - and thanks ever so much! 🙏. You’ll love Garda 💯. My Strava link is in the description - follow me and look at late November and you’ll find these 2 rides there 👍
Love Italy we had our honeymoon in Rome so awesome.. this looks so amazing Phil.. I hope to cycle there one day on my bucket list for sure.. amazing Phil.. :) chapeau
Me too Pete 💯- and Rome has to be one of the finest cities in the world to just wander around, and take in all of the decay and history and beauty . What a place to have your honeymoon 👌. And I can not recommend Lake Garda enough - a perfect bucket list destination 👍
What ist your personally favorite bike in riding-quality and appearance looks?Thans and sorry für my bad English-Greetings from Munich and Malcesine Fan -Tom
Thanks for the great Video:-) I ve ordered the Dogma F in Chrystal White with Shimano Dura Ace 12 and Meilenstein Wheels-I hope its a good choice!How does the Dogma F ride on the flat streets? Is it good on the hills?Thanks a lot
Hello to beautiful Munich Thomas - I always love visiting to see customers there. The Dogma F is excellent on the climb and the flat - stiff and comfortable. And with the Lightweight wheels it will be even better than the one I rode in this video (which also had Dura Ace). I have a Wilier Zero SLR at home (with Dura Ace and the same Lightweight wheel). The lightweight wheels make a good difference - stiff, aero and light - also carve through the air on the flat and are excellent on the climb. In my view there is very little difference between the 2 (or high end bikes in general) - so for sure you have selected an amazing bike and set up. Enjoy 💯
“italy has done it” (e. m. forster, “a room with a view”). if anything like this scenery/architecture were attempted in england planning permission would be denied instantly. biscotti pro tip: hazelnut with orange zest & espresso glooped in.
Italy has done it indeed, FFF - a room inside a country with views on views 🤩 And thats what I love about Italy - these little towns that look like they will topple over, with decaying walls, and loads of intrigue - picture perfect 👌. Orange zest, and a bit of espresso in the mix is always a winner - nice pro tip
I hate you, I hate you, I hate you. Now I want a Dogma F, and eventually I'll find myself in a shop in front of one, and I'll curse you silently when I look at the price tag 😄
I have as feeling a bit down. That film just made me feel good on a dark January evening. Thank you. 😀
Hi Marvin - we’re so so happy to hear that you enjoyed the video🙏, Garda is such an uplifting place 🤩👌. Here’s to the spring and some sun and fun - stay healthy and happy 👍
O what an amazing world to ride in. What a lovely host, Davide too. The music was well chosen too.
Davide is a truly lovely guy to ride out with, Agnes - the consummate gentleman and host 👌 I adore cycling in this area - literally cycling perfection, and nice to have little moments to go slow and take it all in 🤩
Just stunning
Thanks ever so much Damo 🙏 - Lake Garda never disappoints 🤩
Wow. Just Wow. Places I can only imagine visiting and riding. Thank you for sharing. I live vicariously through your experiences.

Brilliant film!

Amazing. Beautiful. I'm envious. That's one for the bucket list. I can almost taste the coffee and biscotti.
Cheers DieselDizzy 🙏 - and for sure add it to your list of places to explore. I adore the entire area - always exquisite (and the espresso and biscotti ain’t bad either 👌😁)
Absolutely fabulous. Spent time around Lake Garda and I agree totally with you that it is fantastic scenery everywhere you turn
Thanks ever so much Liam 🙏 - agreed, I’m hoping to get back there this year 🤞 Hope you’re able to visit soon 👍

Italy has done it indeed, FFF - a room inside a country with views on views 🤩 And thats what I love about Italy - these little towns that look like they will topple over, with decaying walls, and loads of intrigue - picture perfect 👌. Orange zest, and a bit of espresso in the mix is always a winner - nice pro tip
