Col d Iseran Descent by bicycle Go Pro Camera

Descending of the top of Col d'Iseran on my bike during the firelfies ride 2009. This is the highest point i have ever been on a bike at 2770 meters. we hit 50mph on the way down. Watch out for the near miss with a motor bike. Mark Jenkinson (me) filming and Paul Reynolds in red in front. Thanks to www.glueisobar.com for sponsoring me and all the kind people involved. Shot on the Go Pro camera.

The ride raises a hug amount of money every year for Leuka, a Leukaemia charity.

40mph is nothing on a simple big hill with a mtb, respect for tdf and mountain stage racers especially in 1960s when bikes where less predictable and flying of the mountain was highly probable

@BARRGE50 I was riding a road bike with tyres a few centimeters wide, not a mountain bike

Where did you attach the camera? On your chest?

[markyj1]

Yer I know I read someone else's post wrong mountain not mtb ahh nice vid:) got 60mm stem not for down hill pursuits handling too sensitive but I'm suprised it's quite nice for long rides.

Wow, if you got 50mph on this mountain could someone tell me then if 40mph is good for a 16 year old to get in Essex?
