SHIMANO presents Rob and Olly Ride the GR5 // Part 1

Күн бұрынRob Warner and Olly Wilkins tackle the GR5
It's late summer and Rob Warner has finished all of his commentating commitments. The mountain biking world are still coming to terms with the fact that was the last time they'd ever hear him commentate a World Cup but Rob has turned his attention to a much more real and imminent topic. Tackling the GR5 route from Lake Geneva to Nice. Over 500 off road miles of mountains and singletrack…
As Rob and Olly stand on the shores of Lake Geneva they are beginning to wonder what they have signed themselves up for. It’s grey and wet with an unseasonable cold snap descending on the region, throwing the intrepid adventurers a little off kilter before they even leave the car park.
As you can imagine they did run into some peril along the way. Did they make it to Nice? Watch this Christmas Special two parter to find out!
Thanks to Shimano MTB, Vitus Bikes, Focus Bikes and H and I Adventures.

Valiant effort guys, those conditions looked horrendous by anyone's standards and you gave it a real good shot. I hate snow rides, my mind would have exploded if faced with that!! Really looking forward to the next instalment.

Wow. You 100% made the right decision. It was not great tele, I was just thinking why are they carrying on. As for the tbc... that looks hilarious. Rob and Ollie are a brilliant combo. They should be on mainstream TV. No lie.

Looking forward to seeing that helicopter coming up the valley in the next video! Thought it may not go so well. When Olly went on a long ride with Brendog, they planned so far ahead they even took an inner tube with them! Nothing to pump it up with.......... but at least they had it!
