VIDEO: The 10 highest passes of the Alps on a touring bike

[Dynamo2]

Hi everyone,

I am Ralf from Germany. This summer I cycled 2.747km (1.707 miles) from Dresden, Germany to Nice in France on my loaded touring bike crossing the 10 highest passes of the Alps accumulating over 45.000m of altitude.

My newest video summarizes my journey. I promise it won't be boring

I hope you like it. Tell me what you think.

Hello Ralf and welcome to CC.

That's a good debut post and an impressive video, not least due to the climbing you did.

There are quite a few on here who do long trips around Britain, Europe and beyond, but it's the wrong season for most of us to be active now (although both my two six-week trips were done in the winter). Once the spring comes along, then we come out of hibernation.

Hope you like the forum: there's a good community spirit here, so have a look around, make some friends and share your knowledge and experience.
