Shakedown - Bikepacking Across Spain
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- Cycling across Spain, from North to South, in five days as a shakedown before bigger summer bikepacking challenges. Fueled by cafe con leche.
*I have since changed my tyres and tubes. It's important to use your gear to the very end of its useful life, I just may have pushed it on this occasion...
Absolutely love this video. It just cheers me up and, as a Spaniard myself, I admire you for completing such a ride in that short period and with zero luxuries 👏🏻👏🏻 really encouraging, Jenny
so beautiful. love watching your vids.
The beer at the end said it all:"Well done!"
This is a mug at the end of the video! I watch your video at the end of the working week with the same circle and I think how to buy Montane backpack. Thanks for the video, they promote me more! You are great well done!
Good day to you!
I am a senior rider on HONDA motorcycle from Japan.
I am enjoying camping ,touring and upload video.
Your cycling video is so nice!
Awesome!
Full supported !
Have a nice day my friend!
I too love tea and bikes cheers have a good one
Funny post Jenny... I like the way you think... coffee, coffee...COFFEE!!!
Great video again Jenny!
You should show us the trip map.
Great ride i enjoyed your ride with coffee at every stop.
Your videos are absolutely awesome!!!!
Beowulf Agate Thank you so much, made me smile! :)
Just like your videos do to a whole world of outdoor enthusiasts :-)
Awesome video! Loved the random interruptions of the coffee cups.
The first two seconds convinced me. A cafe con leche and a Pastéis de Nata -- heaven.
Fantastic once again Jenny. Thanks for sharing.😀🚲
Nice footage! I remember a time when I had five flats in 50 kilometers. Keep on giving us more videos and keep pedalings. Greetings from a bikepacker in South Korea.
Fun trip! I don’t know why anyone would give this thumbs down. Awesome vids!
lolll love the coffee clips inserted like this!
Hi from Bermuda! Brilliant editing style with the shots of espresso, which made me laugh. First time I went to Portugal it was the same. It seemed every time we stopped walking I had another espresso in my hands and I wasn't quite sure why. I swear the first day I was up for 72 hours straight I was so wired. Loved the scenery and the fact that you are doing these adventures!
This makes me want to get on my bike and ride across Spain! Awesome vid! Great song too! Cheers!
Great! I live in Spain, Extremadura. Would love to follow your example and grab my bike for a long distance trip around.
I love the fact that it seems like you first enjoyed the adventure and then you edited the video afterwards at home. Seems more logilcal to me than editing everyday as many Vloggers do. Nice video and trip. We spaniards should enjoy more our country with adventures like this one. Hope you enjoyed and me treated you well.
Oh my, that's incredible! Today I did 85 klms with many hills to climb, I now live in Spain... I got home with very little energy left! And here you go and achieve such an epic ride!!! My cycling cap goes off to you!!!!! Excellent short video for sure, ufff! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
Brilliant Jenny, another inspiring adventure.
I will be shaking down my kit next week in prep for my Southern Upland Way bikepacking adventure.
Keep inspiring athlete 🏃💪👊
Thanks! Sounds like fun... Wishing you plenty of mini-catastrophes to shake out :)
Such a cool vibe to this!
Great Video!!! Music!! everything!!!
Thanks!! :)
wow! You pack very light. Incredible video and adventure
Nice,love it, please make more cycling video.
Hey Jenny, great summary video of your shakedown, shame about those flats! Good move to change the tyres. Ian
Thanks Ian! Took the new tyres for a small spin yesterday just to make sure.. :)
I rode Spain N to S 15 years ago It was so hard but fun.
Amazing! 😍💪👌
From Baguio City, Philippines
Massive respect Jenny. I'm going to give bikepacking a go next year. I'd love to do the Atlantic to the Med over the Pyrenees. But I'll build up to that. Thanks for the inspiration.
Really enjoyed this Jenny. Would love to see a more in-depth video of the adventure.
Will love to ride these roads !!
Great videos, inspiring.
Great cycling. And even greater editing!
Enjoyed that fair play to you .
Well done. I would like to go for the same experience but sadly I can't. Don't give up. You've got my full emotional support :)
Потрясающе!! Я сам жду с предвкушением грандиозную поездку в Альпы этим летом и такие видео только сильнее меня раззадоривают!) Не терпится отправиться в это удивительное приключение!!! >з
Bellissimo video ed originale nel montaggio, complimenti
Another great video!! Loved it!
Love the video - well done
Thanks Charles!
Loved this so much!! Which mini floor pump is that??? And also do you carry a tripod? Or just prop your camera up when you ride by? Such a great vid!
Thanks Katie! The brand on the pump has worn away and I have no idea - I bought it in Canada 9 years ago! Needless to say it has served me. I do carry a very small, bendy tripod. Thanks for your comment! :)
Might not be the same, but looks very similar to the Topeak road morph. There's a mini version and normal. I've been using the mini and love it.
You so butiful and healty... good luck...♥♥
So glad you are back and on a bike. You need Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres. No more punctures, I think they do them in 25C width. At least in Spain it isn't so cold so you don't have to carry so much stuff to keep you warm and bike packing is an option.
Thanks Alex! I use Marathons on my touring bike. The Conti 4000s are great, just a little worn :). Spain was definitely the answer to Scotland's never-ending winter this year!
Amazing video..you do it just yourself to shoot every angle
Awesome trip and video but it was just way too short ... I could have watched your journey for hours 👍👏🏻👍👏🏻
That's very kind :) x
your my heroe Jenny...i notice that you've improve your gears from the previous clip i've watched, the 3850K tour...some tour ! Now a Canyon is a great bike. I'd like to do a trip like that...but i won't sleep outside along the highway ! lol cheers !
ohh seeing this film reminds me of my adventures this year
The work you had to put in to capture those footages lol. Good job
Very nice trip. From Argentine I greet you.
Great ride 🤗🤗
so crazy ) so pretty ) so nice ) so lovely ) so ...incredible )
All the best people run (ride) on coffee :D
wow another impressive feat from the "Tough" girl and very funny too.
Thanks Michael! :)
Very inspiring I must say, I'm 50 & terrified of going alone, I envy you so much 😔
What terrifies you? Ive been for a few bike adventures in Europe and Ive not had any bad experiences with people (face to face or in cars). Worst is that some wouldnt give me the time of day but theres always others who will. Most were curious about what I was doing & why. I didnt wild camp though. Last trip I could always easily find a campsite (Northern France is full of them)
Yes! I want more videos of women bikepaking! Would appreciate if you could give advice regarding best saddle for ladies, what to wear, how to figure the best (safest) place to sleep, etc.
Love you...
821km on cycle and solo ride ...wow great
Great video!
Thanks Andy!
Now that looked tough and it looked like the weather was against you too and punctures all the best in your future exploits a🚴🏻🚴🏻👍
Thanks Chris! :)
Welcome you off road in CAMBODIA🇰🇭
This looks so good! You have a very light weight set up which I love the look of. Did you camp every night?
Inspired 🙂👍🏻
Good job 👍
Well done. Can we see your route anywhere?
Jenny 대박 awesome^^👍❤🍦😘🙌
Better tires and a kevlar liner works great.
Nice trip! I could see that you can't live without a café con leche anymore! Just an advice, try the conti's Gatorskin ones or the Schwalbe marathon supreme, ride well and have extra puncture resistance. Tested the marathons on a bikepacking trip around Corsica and Sardinia quite loaded and got no flats in 1500 km so far ;-)
Thanks! They were just old tyres. I'm running tubeless now and never looking back!
Yeah good option I'm considering that too, they work most of the times in mtb, have no experience on a roady though. Do they leak air?
Well-done!
Do you have a video where you explain your packing system, what kit you use and how it has worked for you??
Not at the moment, William. One of these days I'll get organised and do one...
unbelievable girl, super!
👍
so cool i love it 기회되면 같이 자전거 타요
Those " cafe con leche " are quite tasty aren't they ? I know . . . because I am also from the south of Spain. Great video !!
"5 flats", wow!
Love you yrr
How do you transport your bike to the country where you'd begin your tour?
Do you have a kit list? Particularly interested in specific bike bags and sleeping bag!
That's a lot of coffees! :)
How did you plan your route and navigate? any gpx files?
I just moved to Spain and keen to explore! Thanks Jenny!
Amazing ride, great video. I’m looking into doing something very similar. Did you have a route with overnight stops planned before you set off?
Hi Jenny
Try schwable marathon plus tyres their the best iv used and still going strong on my every day commute
Their Tough but not as Tough as you LOL xxx haha
Ps I'd like to see some gear list video
Tubeless tires and you won't have any flat tire in thousands of kms. Nice video by the way
Excellent editing and cuts. Pretty much every video of yours is an instant watch. As for the shakedown on the tires, maybe evaluate tubeless?
Thanks! :). I'm definitely evaluating tubeless. My rims are compatible. Tyre options on a road bike are still relatively limited - do you have any brand recommendations?
Jenny Tough I think there are a lot of good tubeless choices (I use WTB fwiw). Given your rampant wanderlust, I’d suggest getting something you know you can get on and off your rims without undue hardship or delay. I found the PathLessPedaled video was pretty helpful in giving me a bit of wisdom: ruclips.net/video/Q5OcYPRlwkU/видео.html
Hello.
Could you say me from what places and roads were you biking from North to South?I suppose you made200kms.daily.Well done It can be very hard
Thank you
Jenny, enjoyed this and your other videos. Could you say a bit about your gear, especially the kit for this Spain crossing. Very tight and light. What are the bags attached to the frame? Cheers, B.
Gooooo jennnnyyyyyyy
Thank you for sharing Jenny, awesome ride and great video. You obviously love your coffee, don't you? I have been wondering for several years if tri handlebars would be of some help for long distance bike packing. How did it work for you? Thank you for sharing. For puncture prevention - Panaracer TserV PT for Messenger and RhinoDillos tyre liner, did 2,800 Km across Northern Thailand mountains in January on some rough roads, not a single flat.
Thanks for your comments! The tri bars are great for relieving your hands when doing long days, where you can get handlebar palsy. It's also pretty comfy to get tucked in a go a little faster, and the biggest bonus is it gives you somewhere to put a baguette :).
Nice vids.. i want to do the same in future. :) There are rims and tyres that match together so that u can mount them and unmount real easy.. eaven with hands. My roadbike wheels are real pain to remove.. dont eaven want to immagine fixing them 5x on 600k :D
Great ride ;). How did you like my beautiful country?
nice trip and nice girl too♥
Hi Jenny, can you tell me what kind of tripod or setup you using? thx really love your videos
Congrats on all your adventures - you're a strong rider! One suggestion, if I may: double check your seat height - it seems way too high, imo. I noticed several times in the video your leg is fully extended/locked out. Actually, you can see this in the title page/cover shot for the video itself: your right leg is fully extended and your toe in pointed down - a sign that your body is having to reach too far at the bottom of the stroke. I watched the video again: look for leg extension at 1:02, 2:42, 2:50. Also, your pelvis rocks side to side - another symptom of a seat too high. Look for pelvis tilt at 19sec, 32, 1:02, 2:43. I rode with my seat too high for a while - it irritates things around the knee. Anyway, maybe have a bike-fitter or trainer check it for you (or find the formulas based off pubic bone height online). Just suggesting so you keep cranking away w/o injuring anything. Best wishes.
what's bike?
Nice video Jenny, we lived in Andalucia & thought about doing this. How did you prep your route? Keep riding, Paul
How did you manage to keep your electronics charged considering it seemed you wild camped a lot?
I had a couple of battery packs, and whenever I stopped in a cafe or restaurant I plugged them in to charge :)
Planning a trip currently. What are the camping laws and stuff in Spain? Like how or where did you sleep??
I should also say, great awesome video! Love how it’s easy to watch being 3 min or so, and shows a lot of the places you went!
👍👍👍💘💘💘🍦
It looks like a great tour. Thanks for sharing your experience! It's a good motivation.
I am looking forward to do longer rides myself. Can you tell me which clip-on aero bars you use?
Hey Norbert, thanks! I can't seem to find a link to my aero bars as I bought them a while ago. All I would say is that the ones I used before were the cheapest ones on amazon (I know, I know), and they melted in the Italian 40degree heat last summer. They really help with comfort (hands!) and of course picking up pace on those long, long roads. Good luck with building up your mileage! :)
Thank you!
👍🏻👍🏻🤤
so lovely journey! may i ask you the route that you rode?
Hey Vincent... I sort of B-lined from Santander to Malaga (budget airports!) via Avila . Some of it is on Komoot, I think.
Just had to sub of course! :-) :-) :-)
