Big-mountain riding's for macho assholes with a death wish.
No, it's not. lt's the ultimate rush.
There's nothing that comes close to it.
Not even sex.
Maybe that's cos you're not doing it right, Roach.
Just cycling out in a big mountain pass is total commitment.
You can't just call time-out if you don't like the way things are going.
So, what's biggest? Alpe d'huez?
- Ridden?
- Yeah.
Galibier.
Stelvio.
Norikura, Japan.
Cime de la Bonette.
No way la Bonette is bigger than Norikura, bro.
It will be next year.
Bodhi believes the Haute-Route is coming next year.
Haute-Route. What's that?
That's kind of a legend.
No, it's real. lt's absolutely real.
Everything moves in cycles,...
...so twice a century the mountains let us know just how small we really are.
The route comes out of the plains of Geneva, tearing south towards the Med...
...it goes on and on for miles.
And when it hits the Alps it'll turn into the biggest cycle sportive this planet has ever seen.
And I will be there.
So will I.
(all whoop and yell)
If you want the ultimate, you gotta be willing to pay the ultimate price.
It's not tragic to die doing what you love.
It's how I want to go.
I ain't gonna live to see 40!
