The Labyrinth | Port de Bales descent (France) | Full Gas Bike Touring in The Pyrenees
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лют 2024
- Halfway through our Tour to The Tour trip we took a detour so that we could climb and descend the Port de Bales pass. Not used too often in the Tour de France - this was still a dirt track in 2006 when the tour was looking for new climbs and decided lay down some tarmac on this one for the 2007 edition. This climb definitely created some drama when Contador attacked Andy Schleck when he had a mechanical and that him his yellow jersey and 39 seconds on the day. Ultimately Contador won the overall tour victory by 39 seoncds...
For me this road looked to tempting to miss after spying it on the maps. So many twists and turns, and a bit off the main path traveled meant it would be a quiet one. We climbed up and over in the direction the tour never goes because the narrow descent is deemed to dangerous by organisers. Bot sides seemed fairly dangerous to race down but the side we descened is longer and has many more corners. Luckily there was no need to race down and I took all the corners really wide to make sure there would be no issues with oncoming traffic. A beautiful day on the bike and one I'll remember for a long time. The detour was well worth it!

"This is not a full bomb descent, this is a stay alive and don't fall of the mountain descent."
...Takes the KOM 😂
You guys are to good, and we can clearly see that youre not hammering it down in some areas.
What a descent, beautiful filming and editing. Thanks for sharing as usual ❤
Cycling indoors all winter, waiting for THIS type of weather...
I was just thinking the same: how I missed riding in these types of weather.
spring and summer will come
Me too.and I also love the natural scenery likr this❤
Wow what a descent. The views at the top are incredible. Thanks!

The driver of the Citroen seemed impressed lol 😂
i like the commentary from both of you!
Fantastic Video as always SAFA!! 🚴♂️💭🤟😁🤟
so many droppings lol great video as always 👍🏾
That was awesome to watch.
How did you ad that very cool satellite map with your descent?
1:24 straight out of Windows XP
Wonderful view
I live in Loures Barousse. This is my training route. Congratulations on your descent, you are really very, very fast....à bloc
thanks for the memories I did that a few years ago, and ate at the cafe across the street from where you stopped. I also bought some local goat cheese from a lady in the exact spot you stopped.
That is awesome! Always nice to watch a vid where you recognise the same spots
Did you just pass a home-sister that was dive-bombing the decent too? It's always good to see another person reaming it at the top of her abilities. You rock Safa, but your not the only one that seeks thrills and chills. To all the ones who slowly their limits to the enth degree.
Wonderful. Epic.
Awesome descent! keep it up
What a thrilling ride
I did it a few years ago, it's one of the most fun descents anywhere,
That scenery looks like a video game. 😳
This viewpoint is too perfect !😮Please tell me the mounting angle!!!!🙏🏻
Hi. I love all of the videos and this channel inspired me to take my bike on a trip to Europe. I'm actually going at the beginning of March on a short trial trip. I'm taking the Eurostar train from London to Brussels. What will the weather be like and what direction should I head in?
Also, why Brussels? Because it's the only route the Eurostar train allows a bike without needing to dismantle it and put it in a box.
Any suggestions from anyone are most welcome!
Notification Squad, dab me up
How do you track all the data to display on the left?
👑Great safa👑
hello safa this was a great video like all the time, also i was wondering wath is your age?
Which App you use for add those stats ??
Telemetry Overlay. This video is in their page.
You have to pronounce the final "s" in "Balès" :) Beautiful descent, I only climbed this side and went down the other one, but both have spectacular views.
Insane, how often do you need to change your brakepads?
Might be less than us because he brakes so late.
really digging the HUD on this video
I preferred the old one, but it was still good.
Yes these places exist people, travel, ride, ride, ride ∞
Casual bhop over cow mines
The information on the left side is for the safa or the other rider ?
Noice!
Have you used any software to display the speed on the left side of the screen? Thanks !
😉👍👍👍
Bu qaysi shahar
What camera are you using for the shots? The footage is amazing
Probably GoPro
He’s using an osmo pocket 2 or 3
😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍
와우 아름답다 나도 저기서 타고 싶다
I never thought I'd hear Safa talk about poop
Wow
Scary
that speedometer sticker are from the gopro?
I live there!
Bike packers comin' thru at 50 miiles per höur! 😂👌
what type of calipers they've got? ultegra? dura? must be red hot...
speed and gps overlay by telemetry? CAn i get simillar effect with adobe after effects without telemetry?
Yes, and no
Like u bro
Why there is no sheep on the green?
Uhhhh hih huh huh POOP!
.... dirt on the road is very tricky shit on descents ....
영상으로만 봐도 다리가 후들 거리네 난 죽어도 저기선 못타겠다~~
Unfortunately, you can’t hold on behind a passenger car; it’s too fast. And from the back of the truck you can stay in your pocket and it would hardly come off ahead of the safa!!
The speed overlay is bugged
Why don't you compete in the Tour de France?
The Last OF Us
Vitesse Max 80 km/h
Superb quality. Leveled up from before but can do without the handlebar obstructing the view.
Красавцы! Надеюсь, вы завещали свои органы донорам? Многие хорошие люди ожидают трансплантации.
asu es el fondo de windows
We need 60 fps!
🤢
Minta sepeda bang😁
I'd watch your downhills if not for the hub noise ..
I have seen many of your videos, you can't believe the download speeds even you. tricked speedometer
Bro I suggest you to came to Kurdistan
Idk but the background looks like cgi
Пока они на шоссейниках катаются в горах я на горном велосипеде катаюсь по дороге
Стоит купить тебе грэвел,и будешь быстрее ехать,и не так руки отбивать,как на шоссере если
@@EblanteBatyr уже думал об этом, гравийник убъется потому что я часто съезжаю с пандусов и заезжаю на них
Typical bike touring action.
21:48 Overtaking a pedestrian at 30 mph with less than 3 feet of space ... that's truly as*le style. Thumbs down.
check the frame again. you can fit the length of a bike between safa and the pedestrian, that's about 6 feet.
3 feet me bollox, 6 or 7 feet easy. A nice clean ride, no need to make a fuss about nothing.
🚀🚴🚴♂🚴♀ >>> 👍👍👍
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
