What he said. Thumbs Up

Not really your average Pan European riders track even though I love mountain roads. I was chuffed at doing the Splügen Pass without turning back! Whistle

Respect to these guys but I'll stick to tarmac on two wheels thanks.

Sheer stupidity i think, but thats from a man that likes to keep 2 wheels on the tarmac at all times.

I reckon our own Dougie Lampkin would think twice about this route!!

I've walked worse......

Only bit seemed really bad was the 4.45 bit where the path had almost gone and was a thin shelf.

Do the Croisiere and you have little more than that space either side of teh vehicel to maneuvere (sp)

When I first watched this I found myself actually leaning to the left in my seat. I hate heights.

I'm coming down on the stupidity conclusion, as it wouldn't take much to put rider and bike off the edge of that mountain. Like DC, I enjoy my biking but one of the first things you learn on two wheel is how vulnerable you are. The guys are bonkers.

Made me feel quite sick at points. Nice scenery but deffo not my bag; I like a margin for error, particularly as I'm not that good a rider when off tarmac.
