last day in verbier i thought i'd give these guys a song got a present
do you really want to fly home with this
when the sweet powder comes down again straight on that you know i'll send you a video of me
skiing with this in winter yes actually maybe i'll put a snowboard on for that day because snowball
after the fun of yesterday's video a lot of you viewers will be pleased to know that today
we are riding road bikes i'm here with dougal and the other guys from sun god
and where are we going the valley of death we're going to the valley of death we're going to go to
a very big down about 50k to ride we're in good hands we've got a local guide with us
a couple of other ambassadors i only said chris is there ben's gone home
sad beautiful day perfect weather google the suspension is not working on my on my bike
the guide they brought is too good yeah it's way too good they brought the leanest man
to tourists up a mountain yeah just fresh off the back of like a mountain bike stage someone
that weighs like 50 kilos or something i left my bike packing bags on my forks
well stupid idea a couple of big differences from the rides that we have been doing to this ride
yeah one we now have new sunglasses yes two we haven't got bags on our bikes yep those weird
yep oh my god look how wobbly it is is it number three it's really hard to ride isn't it
immediately did that massive descent and without bags your brain gets used to having bags on the
bike so you try to put more effort into leaning and everything and then you should do that
yeah literally going into corners so early anyway we are now on a climb which is a lot safer
following the guy who's way too strong yeah i'm not following him i'm chilling best and worst tour
guide in the world because he's too strong i've just realised what has got odd socks do i have
one top queen you can have two we could have three if you really wanted really we're going to mothers
on damn right which is something like the fifth biggest dam in europe or the world or something
someone in the comments will correct you now someone will please do and it's a really tall
dam and we're gonna stand on top of it there's some big waterfalls jump in uh you'll never get
out but and we'll stop for an ice cream oh yeah because ice cream is important that's why i'm here
yeah so can you see all these like ropes and pegs yeah so you like clip on and basically follow
like a clipped-on semi-climbing route yeah and you follow the ring up and you cross the wire bridge
that'll be right up your street chris you'd cross that and you'd be like oh mate when we go heights
yeah you can see this it's like uh it's like go away yeah like go ahead this is okay it's really
dangerous yeah it's not there's a ladder there yes you ladder out and you go along and you get to the
bridge the the next section is gnarly and because i got halfway across the bridge and then the
the heavens just opened and i was there i was like i should turn around this isn't safe
i feel like you do a lot of uh stuff that most people would consider unsafe
dukes they're far to say if you've got two carabiners just two of them
that's where james bond jumps off the edge that's crazy look at the color of the water
that was definitely worth the climb i got pretty spicy at times especially uh at his pace
it's a bit too much effort but that one that spikes out of there you it basically
has been tunneled to a lake at the top of the mountain and you can stand on like a pathway as
as the tunnel shoots under you and so like all of that water which is moving
so quickly just goes underneath you and if you drop a stone in it it's like how do you
like switzerland francis it's quite nice it's all right isn't it yeah it's not bad quite nice
yeah you love this yeah it's okay yo insane
if you should drop your camera you can only say goodbye to it you know again yeah 180 mil travel
yeah i reckon you could land it so apparently a bit of tourist info for you if this down breaks
the whole of the valley up to vermeer will be underwater what about verb yeah
we'll be high you'll be hiding i'll be okay chris will be all right in his rubber ring
yeah it's your rubber ring now well true yeah well i uh
that's lard
welcome to root du soleil that was a lovely descent from the dam unfortunately we're staying
in verbia which is halfway up a mountain so we have to climb up halfway up a mountain up that
uh yeah legs are great
when i say that that's a lie yes the plus side as we get higher it will get cooler maybe in theory
vending machine was good cheese vending machine they're not like small cheeses either are they
there yeah a drunken night out people get a taxi to stop that'll make you feel better or worse
overnight worse cheese hangover is like awful if you smash a couple of pots of fondue the next day
you'll just wake up with like like a baby in your in your stomach of congealed cheese but
it's really important that you have really high strength alcohol straight after eating because
it breaks up all the cheese and to drink white wine you know your stuff i eat a lot of cheese
oh no i used it all up earlier nothing nothing called a cookie cutter you gotta drink it now
safe to say verbia for road cycling very very good also very good for pastries as well
so right done and dusted uh somehow it's like 6 p.m and the whole day is gone it seems to happen
here in verbia quite a lot we didn't have lunch for some reason so i'm extra hungry we kind of
did that bike packing trip and got here yeah and then we did like an eight hour mountain bike day
and then we rode today on road bikes and did 2000 metres yeah so i feel quite tired chris
that's how i feel i'm thinking about food
i mentioned food i did enjoy a stage ride nice and chilled i reckon that would be a tough one to
everest that one actually yeah long yeah let's not do that let's not do that one although if we do
let's just do one one everest yeah over the course of a week yeah thousand meters just
over a thousand good job we're gonna see badger in a second i love badger hello we
are now going to a place which is just known as yeah you just have to the pub you're so wrong
