[young Ed]

just found this on youtube, maybe good for turbo training?

even off the turbo it's a very good watch!
Cheers Ed

I'm of Austrian descent but that descent scares the Scheisse out of me, it is a decent video though,

But when he got to the bottom, he remembered leaving his phone on the table back up at the mountaintop cafe ...

That cyclist is a nutter! Looks like a nice ride, though, and riding up would be fun too (I actually enjoy riding up mountains more than riding down them).

Surely if you watched that while on a turbo you would just stick your legs out and shout weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I thought this was a thread about having a Viennese grandmother

Not about Hitler? I'm out.

Excellent control on him - I'd have been dead after about minute, on the corner before the 1st car...wonder if those mountains echo....

at that car i think i would have been day dreaming knowing me and hit his bumper or i would just be too scared to overtake

nah, i would be in a really competitive mind set and would convince my self i am racing him and i need to chase him so go flat out for the whole thing

i too like climbing, not sure why but i do. but i must admit that a good descent with a really good condition road is hard to beat!

Doesn't look that fast at first. I think the roads are so good that it masks the feeling of speed. A few mins in, with more bumps, and you really see the speed. Nice find.

He's pedalling downhill Who on earth pedals downhill?

(I don't suppose anyone knows exactly where that is?)

EDIT - looked at the Youtube page Start Location: Schiestlscharte/ Glockenhütte 2024 metres a.s.l. - Target location: Ebene Reichenau

I pedal downhill. Part of the enjoyment after the effort uphill.
