Ed, you look like a kid in a toy store - fun to watch. Best to you!

See you on sunday!

Looks unbelievable Ed. I've just spent the week in Lake Annecy and I definitely agree how the most amazing, smooth and beautiful lanes are totally empty because it's just normal for the locals. Love it

Great video! Best of luck Ed, especially on the gravel!

See you at the TT, you will probably go past me, and am about 40 minutes ahead 😂😂

I think it is: ‘Egg’ + ‘le’.

Best of luck to you, Ed. You definitely made the right creative decision to include the raw footage without music at near the end. The sound of running water and the wind blowing through a forest has to be the most serene and calming sounds in existence!

Great video, good luck Ed 👍

Wishing yood luck + strong legs as always. M.

Go Ed!!. Hope all goes well in the events just slip into Alpine racing snake mode and all will be well!!. Good luck.

nice to see you at my home turf. if you have monday time plz do the "les agittes" clim from the aigle side towards your reservoir lake 😅 (lake hongrin). would like to see how you smash the times 😂 (dont stop with the bike for the one way tunnel at the top) all the best for your event

Lucky b*stard! 😉

Kind of like Wales, but with less sheep!

Great views! Best of luck in the races, smash it like you've been doing! Cheers from Southern California ☕️ 🚴🍻

Lived here for 5 years now. Am still amazed by the beauty of it. Rivers, gorges, rolling hills (with impressively steep pitches), high alpine terrain with stunning mountain pass roads. Road conditions are generally excellent, also in the middle of nowhere. Cycling infrastructure is improving and people are used to cyclists.

The roads look proper top notch and no darn potholes 🤣 Good luck Ed and roll with each day 💪 We shall all be watching and supporting; even virtually 🤞 #EdMode

I just climbed this on Rouvy in just over an hour and faaarrrrkkkkk was it hard!

Well done Ed, I really enjoy your videos

That bus was the hand of God! Great ride, looked like a perfect day for Ventoux. I last rode it a few years back on my 60th birthday. Always almost a spiritual thing for me getting up that climb.

The mac'n'cheese was fantastic! Well done on your target time. I did the Gran Fondo as well. Completed in a target time of 11 hours including stops (10:52 actual). We ended up faster on the road than planned but some extra/longer stops due to a puncture and wait for toilets. It was a great day though.

Quality Stuff Ed 🖖

Well Done 🖖

what program are you using

Super vidéo ! Merci pour tes explications (a big ty for subtitles !!) et le partage de tes données. Very, very good YT channel !

Not often we get to hear such a detailed view of what a rider is thinking and going through. Congrats on the win, this was amazing!

Done it twice, 1st in 2013 and the 2nd time in 2015. 2015 was by far the hardest in living memory as it was during a heat wave (if being hotter than normal is even possible), but the route was also different due to a landslide on the decent from the Lauteret. We did the Glandon, Lacet du Monverier, Molland, Croix de Fer and then the Alpe. About 700m more ascent than the regular and a touch more distance, but the key difference was that there was no long decent off the Lauteret to recover. The profile was like sharks teeth...just up and down constantly all day, making it extra punishing. I hope to go back in 2026 at the ripe age of 52 and try again...unfinished business as they say!

Interesting to see your experience. I crashed over a barrier on the Glandon, did the Telegraph ok. Had to stop due to altitude in the last 1km of Galibier. Got cooked between base of Galibier and Alpe. Stopped for 5mins on first bend of Alpe, and a few minutes on the next few bends before limping the rest of the climb to top. Marmotte is hard and I've done Fred Whitton since without issue.

Well done ed ruclips.net/video/JdeSsKdDiyc/видео.htmlsi=heIh-T6bNA_-rXFQ

0:07 “Buak tua” another video …..and spit on that thang😂

Hope you stay fit and well for what looks like a cracking weekend of cycling. Look forward to the coming videos. Go well Ed🚵🚴👍

Good Luck Ricky 😜👌

Agreed Ed, there are "harder" events but this route was excellent & the descent from Bwlch to Port Talbot was "free miles"...I loved it as did the other 14 from my club, I did get my strategy wrong, was flying up over Penderyn Moor & struggled over the Bwlch, but it was still a blast, great ride BTW! The feeds & marshalls were also top notch!

It is "lac Léman" and not "lake Geneva" :p

Good grief…. Proper climbs that. Well Done, must of been a bucket list experience!

Only the Pog machine does it from 80km, his got the full rights, best you check with the UCI mate….😂😂😂.

If you walk any gravel section, I expect to see you shouldering the bike and running cx style 😂 Good luck

🤞For a fast recovery. I’ll ride the TT and mediofondo, I live 60km from there -in Lausanne. If you ride in the area, there are some nice « col » to ride - i’m sure you did your searches. But there are also some where you do not want to ride because of the road being too busy and dangerous. Would be happy to meet you on the road any afternoon during the week. My favorite is « Sonchaux (7.7km 10%avg, all in the forest with super smooth road & amazing view on top » , awesome roads to ride are Corbeyrier, Taney, Torgon, Portes de culet. (About same profile: 62kg, 20’ 354)

Good luck Ed, give it your best shot and let’s have some rides worthy of big screen viewing 😉

The next weekend looks epic ! I hope you'll be in good shape for those events, and I wish you the best weather !

You've got this Ed #EdMode 🚀

Nice suit, needs a bit of green, byt!

Good luck dude and go hard 💪👍looking forward to all the RUclips vids 👍

Another fantastic video Ed and I really appreciate your time and effort in putting it together ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐there's a lot of insight and inspiration too for us more ordinary riders that are looking for nuggets of information to help us improve. You won by quite a margin too. 👍👑

When did the reverse the route? This was the opposite way round to when I did it in 2017

I saw you in the pen and was going to shout over but i really didn’t want to be that guy 😂 That was my first time at the Gran Fondo as i have only been cycling just over a year now and yes it was fantastic, i paced myself, fuelled up all the way round and and managed just over 8.5hrs moving time. Fuel stations were well stocked and the descents were fantastic. The only crap on was the one with traffic lights on it!!!

Have you ridden and raced premier calender events like the Lincoln Grand Prix.

What a glowing endorsement for this fabulous event

The reroute almost got me too, Garmin was not happy. I just chilled and enjoyed the ride as I am not a strong rider . Spent to much time at feed stops so was 11hrs total but 10ish moving. Loved the ride and met some great people.

Chapeau was never again Ed. You may need a rest you say but you look fresh still. 👏

Did the media fondo this year in just 6hr. Sold to come back for the Gran Fondo next year with target sub 8hr.
