- Welcome back to the channel! If you caught the latest vlog, I mention I'm catching up on sharing some recent cycling trip footage. Including a visit to Bormio to see Stage 15 of the Giro. Arguably one of the hardest mountain stages of the race, with the epic climb up Livignio.
In this video we show you where we stayed and hired bikes, plus the INCREDIBLE scenery up the climb that the pro's take, plus a glimpse of them. Including Pogacar and Geraint Thomas. (Sorry for my screaming and yelling). The entire day was just magic...
We stayed at Hotel Funivia in Bormio: www.hotelfuniv...

A little about me
Thanks for dropping by.
I’m your classic runner turned newbie cyclist.
For years I feared riding a bike - I was afraid of traffic, clipping in, couldn’t get my head around lycra, chamois cream and clambering up hills on a bike.
I didn’t believe that riding a bike would give me the same de-stress, mental download or sense of freedom that life as a long distance runner had given me before my knees ground to dust.
Fast forward to 2021 and picking up a second hand CAAD10 changed my life for the better. Not just physically and mentally. But also providing a sense of community and belonging - which is magic. The cycling community is just magic.
So I’m here. To hopefully inspire others to not fear the bike - the lycra, the clipping in. And come share the passion, freedom and indescribable joy that comes from being on the bike. I truly believe that the bike life is the best life and everyone should be able to enjoy it.
Come with me on some adventures.

Thanks for watching - honestly gorgeous views. Unreallll.
Really good video, would love to do that. Great original content too. It would be good to know what you took with you etc.
Ahh thanks so much for watching, glad you enjoyed! Yeh I can certainly do a video around that if it’s helpful.
Another great video guys 👏.
Plan to go next year, can you tell me the best airport to fly to and the best way to get to Bormio?
Thanks in advance 👍🚴🏼♂️🇮🇹
It’s absolutely brillliant. So we’ve flown in to Milan and Bergamo before. Either are great. We’ve picked up a car to get to Bormio as it’s a journey from either. Last year we tagged it in with a trip to Lake Garda for a couple of off bike days, then on some time in Bergamo. This year, we went via Lake Como/Barni and the cycling museum. So plenty of options to tag in some other gorgeous parts of Italy.
@@Pelohun thanks for the info.
Keep up the great work and it’s about time a bike sponsor came knocking 🤞
