We Stopped Bicycle Touring...

- A dense blanket of mist guides us down the mountain where we find an ideal place for breakfast. We continue our journey through picturesque Spanish villages alternating with seemingly endless roads, amidst the increasingly arid landscape. The area we ride into is known as "Desierto de los Monegros”, roughly translated as “Desert of the Black Hills”. It feels like we entered an epic Western movie set. Some of the most amazing camp spots of our whole trip we find here along the main river and between the beautifully carved hill valleys in one of the least populated regions of Spain.

a Special Thanks 🙏🏼
With all of the madness happening in the world right now, you bring a breath of fresh air, peace and hope. Thank you ♥️
Thanks so much for sharing that! The world is crazy right now and we hope we can bring something else. All the best, E&M
The madness is in the minds of those who are easy to fool.
Brainwashed by propaganda on the world stage.
Live the day. Enjoy.
Hello, I just want to thank you for motivating me from watching your incredible videos of the world. I'm a 70 year old retired American. My grandfather in 1917 was a soldier in the First World War. He was an avid photographer and took a precise chronicle of where he was in northern France which are mostly photos of the incredible devastation of churches, houses, towns, and farms. In fact under each photo he notes the exact town the picture was taken. I am going to follow by touring bike the exact route as defined by his photos. Then, I am going to find the exact place he was standing and take a present day photo. I have cycled through France in mostly tourist famous areas, and always on a carbon fiber racing bike.... not touring with saddle bags. I look forward to being in France France interacting with the locals to help me find my Grandfather's route. Thank you!
Good luck!
Incredible Brett! What a special adventure you are about to undertake. We wish you all the very best, E&M Tailwinds!!
That's epic! 😁 Wish you all the best for the journey. If you are going to be sharing your trip online, where can I follow you?
I would also like to watch the progress
What an amazing plan. I wish you well
You’re going to be missed. Many thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks David 🙏🏼 All the Best, E&M
Great video guys! You are exploring 1 of the least known areas of Spain.
You actually passed within 30 kms of where I live near Lleida.
I would imagine that sudden temperature drop around 3am, which I have experienced, is caused by the clouds clearing as the heat of the day slowly dissipates. I think people who don't know Spain well are surprised at the huge range of temperatures and climate types here. We had a high last year of 48c, the air was hard to breathe it was so hot, like when you open the oven door, hence the castellano word for this heat "bochorno" - oven mouth.
Enjoy your winter quarters.
Stay safe.
Thank you both so much for sharing your journey and allowing others share it with you.
I will miss this journey but new journeys need to start.
I appreciated the sense of humanity you brought out on your travels the most.
Best wishes and thank you both again.
Thank you so much for your touching comment Jeff! All the best, E&M
Enjoy your break and it's well deserved. We will all be waiting for more in the future to live vicariously through your adventures. Your editing and production skills have become wonderful and makes us want to see so much more. This area in Spain is beautiful and I'm sure has been a great experience, although cold. Brrrr ! Thank you for sharing your lives with us.
😊 Thank you for your heartfelt and uplifting comment! We will be back soon...
I love following your adventures, and very happy to be one of your patrons. You deserve a break, and we all look forward to Spring!
Thanks for your ongoing support Clive 😊 New videos in the making... Best wishes from us!!
Hello, your videos are something special for me. They always radiate calm and have something melancholic and beautiful about them. I will miss you but maybe the journey will continue. I'd be pleased. Thank you for taking me,
I wish you a nice break, Bernhard
Thank you for your uplifting comment Bernard! Really appreciated :) Wishing you all the best, E&M
We have absolutely loved watching your films of cycling through Spain. Such amazing scenery. You are an amazing couple and it’s inspiring to see how you overcome all the challenges that you have faced and the people you have met. Beautifully made films.
Enjoy your break! Thank you for all of the advice and inspiration to go on our own trip! May God bless you!♥️
Thanks so much Susie! We wish you the very best for your own adventure :) E&M
I especially enjoyed seeing you play with the Tumbleweed bush that you put on your head. My fat tyre off-road touring bike is built from a Tumbleweed Prospector frame, with a Rohloff rear hub and Son dynamo front hub and Jones bars. I am married to a Dutch woman. Her father introduced me to bicycle touring over 40 years ago. In the '80s we rode from Melbourne to Sydney in Australia via backroads. As well as many other tours along the Murray River and Murrumbidgee River. In the '90s we did a family tour in Nederland and northern parts of Belgium. I turned 70 this year and I'm still touring, quite often off-road on single-track.
I love being subscribed to your videos and getting inspired by your adventures. Tot sins till the springtime.
Was always following your adventures with great interest. But now, as you’re cycling Europe again, it’s so much closer to my reality again. It makes it more ‘reachable’ for me. Keep on going and make me dream and planning!!!
Great the hear Jürgen! Wishing you many dreams that may come true 🙏🏼 All the best, E&M
Awesome adventure! Thanks for sharing. On cold, clear, windless nights there is a greater chance of frost. Clouds at night act as a blanket and keep the atmosphere relatively warm. But if there are no clouds there is nothing to hold the heat, especially if there is no wind and little or no moisture in the air, any heat stored in the ground during the day escapes quickly into the night air and there is a greater chance of a hard frost. That's my understanding. You guys are hearty souls, camping out in the cold. Keep each other warm! Thanks again. Stay safe.
I enjoy your adventures too Paul Suchecki, you are a great biker!
Thank you for the clear explanation Paul! I learned a thing or two 👍🏼 Best wishes, E&M
Congratulations on 11 years together. You make a wonderful couple
Looking forward to your next series
Thank you Tony 😊 Next series coming up... Best wishes, E&M
Sometimes i before to go to my bed, i watch you guys and later feel me better, thanks for what you doing
That is good to hear Bledi! Wishing you all the best 🏕
Thank you both for sharing another wonderful adventure with us! I'm glad you have been able to take a break during the Winter to spend time with family and I look forward to your next adventure in the Spring! You have inspired me to take an 8-day bike trip with my adult daughter across the state of New York on a newly opened bike trail that I'm excited about. We never know all the lives we touch :) Happy Trails!
Hi Mark! Thank you for your nice comment! Lovely to hear you are going on a bike trip with your daughter, just wonderful! Wishing you both fantastic time out and about :) All the best, E&M

Another great video from you both...thank you 🙂. I have been working towards following in your footsteps, will become a reality in a months time. I love your chilled out approach however I also know that cycle touring can be a real challenge at times. Until the next time take care and enjoy your break.

Thanks Lawrence 😊 All the best, E&M
Thanks for taking us along!
Thank you too Tom :)
Another delightful video series! Thank you. You two make a great couple (Did I hear you correctly? Eleven years together? Congratulations.) and great narrators/subjects for this video series. You make me want to get on my bike and explore.
In case no one else provided this info: The temperature range in desert environments is very wide because the air is dry and heat dissipates rapidly. During the day the ground surface warms but cools overnight. Moreover, if the sky was cloudy or partly cloudy in the evening, the clouds hold the heat in (the classic greenhouse effect). If the sky clears during the night, the temperature plummets quickly. That Los Monegros landscape reminds so much of eastern Oregon in the USA. Except, Erich found bigger tumbleweed.
Thanks Desert Mantis :) Great to hear your getting the urge to explore! Thank you for the information about desert temperatures. Oregon sure is a place we would love to visit some day 🤞🏼 We love these kind of landscapes! All the best, E&M
Great vid guys, thank you for your wonderful adventures
Thank you too Jon 😊 All the best, E&M
Thank you for sharing your travels with us. I've really enjoyed watching and look forward to the next instalment :)
Thank you Stephan 😊 The next ones are in the making! All the best, E&M
Awww you are blessed with such scenery. Thanks for bringing it to us. Regards Graham Sheffield England xxx
For sure! Thanks & Best wishes, E&M
It's always a good idea to spend time back home with friends and family. Just as important as discovering new places. Take care!
Thank you Ambient Walking 😊 All the best, E&M
Wonderful journey! Enjoy your winter break, i look foward to your Spring plans. Thank you for sharing your amazing experiences. I hope to tour parts of Europe someday.
Thank you Jason 😊 We are already touring again after our break. We hope you are able to come over end enjoy Europe soon!! Best wishes, E&M
Wonderful videography, very creative and great story. I really appreciate you two 😊
Thank you so much :) Best wishes, E&M
Thanks for a smashing show, looking forward to the next instalment for sure.
Thanks 😊 New one coming up...
Beautiful video! Can’t wait to tune into your next adventure!
Thank you Robert :) New videos in the making! All the best
I recently read that people where starving during their travels out west in the United States and they'd eat the tumbleweed. Supposedly it's a good source of protein and calcium. It doesn't look very appetizing but hey when your starving things look different.
I can imagine... One has to be fairly desperate to try but than again so important if it can save your life!
Thank you for producing these excellent videos -- I've bicycle-toured on 4 continents so far, and my favorite place on the planet is Spain!
Thanks so much Fred 😊 Cycling in Spain again as we speak and it’s fantastic! All the best, E&M
Your videos are not only bike vlogs, its ART 😀all the best for you both
Thanks so much Tamas 😊
Great video again. Hope you continue with more awesome adventure touring.
About that cold temperature - possibly a South wind drift kept the evening warm, then if the wind stopped and the sky was clear, the temperature will plummet. Best things for the cold camping:
- do not camp along creek-lines, river valleys nor in hollows; the cold air will settle and pool around you
- camp under or near trees or other shrubs, these act as insulation to keep the warmer air from rising. But not under gum trees in Australia, they risk dropping branches and killing you.
- use a tent with a double-skin and full fabric inner, not mesh.
Thank you Peter! We already did some lovely touring this year, videos coming soon! Great information there, thank you for that! All the best, E&M
Lastig om te genieten van jullie video’s met alles wat er aan de hand is. Enfin, enjoy and stay safe
Zeer begrijpelijk, het grijpt ons ook aan. Het is ergens raar om dit soort videos te maken in deze tijd. We hopen dat het een positieve bijdrage mag hebben... Dank & Groet!
Very good edit and choices of music with your b-roll and drone shots! I belong to one of the Facebook groups you guys do and that’s how I found your channel. You two have a good rhythm together and I enjoy the shit out of your episodes!
Haha, Thanks Jay! Great to hear, keep it clean ;) Best wishes, E&M
Wonderful landscspe, wonderful video. It's amazing to be in contact with other cultures. Carry on doing that.
Wonderful as always !
Thank you so much for sharing 😊
Thanks Weedhopp 😊 All the best, E&M
@@WheelstoWander you as well 😊 ❤
Genoten van jullie verhalen. Geniet van jullie 'winterslaap ' !!!
Haha, Dank je Gert! We zijn aan het ontwaken ;) Groet
thank you for almost getting videos out all the way until srping :D
Masterpiece video!
Thanks so much Ruggero 😄 All the best, E&M
Rest up and enjoy your break. It is well deserved. I look forward to more int the Spring. :-)
Thank you Norman :) Spring is about to start!! All the best, E&M
Howdy road mates. I loved the mist in this one. There is a phenomenon in the desert of temperatures dropping suddenly due to low humidity (moisture in the air helps to retain heat on the surface. )
Thanks for the info Micheal! Mist gives such an incredible atmosphere, we love it too :) All the best, E&M
Hello, I am from Indonesia,Thank you for you great videos and contents. It is inspire me to keep the dream for bike touring. I hope I can realize the bike touring as soon as possible. I am a bit surprise when I find a video that show you're from the Netherlands which I was studying there (Enschede) last year. I hope you enjoy your break , stay safe and keep healthy ❤
11 jaar samen gefeliciteerd mooie prestaties cycle 🚲 long and healthy
Neem jullie rust neem je planning door en knuffelen elkaar stevig. Op naar 11 jaar erbij met nog meer fietsavonturen

I can see the world through your videos
😊
11 jaar al❤️ jullie zien er nog steeds zo verliefd uit samen
Dank je Petra 😊
All the best to you both in whatever you decide to do. I've packed in cold weather camping- I'm too old for that now and it takes away the enjoyment of touring. I don't mind the occasional cold night as I have all the right gear. At 61 I need to be careful.
On the road as we speak 😉 The cold
is definitely something else. Stay safe and keep enjoying those wonderful roads!! Best wishes, E&M
11 years together? You mean you have been traveling 11 years together? Wow, Congratulations. That's simply awesome.
Kind of yeah! Our first date was 5 weeks India 😉
Hope you got some good rest and are planning to explore new horizons this spring.
We did Brad, Thank you 😊 Already sampling some new roads! All the best, E&M
You know your stuff. Msr Dragonfly with a BernieDawg Dragon Tamer Silent Cap 🔥 🐉 🔥

Greetings from the road...and the freezing cold Bura here in Croatia!
Thanks!! Hope you are doing wel out in the cold 💪🏼
Eric is that the same frame that you started with in the beginning?
I want to thank you both for all the hard work you put into your videos!! You guys have created a series of mini documentaries in really it's extraordinary some of the places that you have been.
God bless the both of you and thank you again for sharing your journey with us 🌹🌄
Thanks 😊 I am not sure what you mean by your question... All the best, E&M
The bicycle is the only chain that sets you free!
Truth in those words!!
The lowest expected temperature in the night is around the temperature of the dew point. The reason why the dew point is important is that at that temperature the moisture turns to fog and the temperature drops much slower after that.
The dew point can be calculated from temperature + relative humidity and some formulas. So any device that measures humidity can give an indication of that. But if a weather front passes during the night and the new air is dryer and it is still clear, that means that there is a new dew point and and the temperature might plummet. That kind of shift (cold front) can usually not be seen in the clouds either and you need a forecast for that. A warm front on the other hands can be seen in the clouds.
have a safe trip home 🖤 such a power couple (11 YEARS!)
😊
Oooh, very nice tumble-do 😂
thnx for all the great entertainment you've provided me and others. enjoy your break.
i have to ask...have you've watched "from cape to cairo by bike" on youtube? i'm sure you must have.
besides wheels to wander, it's honestly the best thing i have ever seen on YT. : )
epic drone shots at the end btw.
thnx again!
Thank you Bertski60! That's a great one, we saw it under another name though: Anderswo. Wonderful guy and a great narrator! All the best, E&M

¡Gracias Matrero! Le deseamos mucha suerte con la realización de su ruta. Todo lo mejor
Currently the time and the wind are changing.
Suddenly you can´t be shure anywhere ...
everything becomes very emotional between fear and hope...
...
Thanks for showing us your way of life
in all these well-done 🚴🚴♂V-Logs...
during your bike-travel-adventures...
...
For example... when you
celebrate the new day as if it were the first day of life ...
...
okay - sorry, maybe it´s appllied a little too thick...
but meanwhile in Europe something fundamental is likely to be destroyeed
...
is this the end....⁉
...
hopefully you keep your promise...
and if not...
it doesn´t matter - good luck🍀💗🌈‼
Some deep thought there Moa Beat. We already made new footage that we are turning into videos. It certainly is a strange moment in history... Thanks
@6:58 Wow..ni sabía que eras de España. Hermosos paisajes!
Si! Esta Magnifico 😊 🇪🇸
Stunning last few days of the trip! Thanks for taking us along. The dessert views at the end - stunning! And the new hairdo - one of a kind, for sure. ;)
Thanks 😊 Happy to hear you liked the video! Haha, the Tumble-Do 😆 All the best, E&M
Looks a lot like the desert in Arizona. Nice video.
Must be beautiful too :) Thanks!
Always stay blessed ❤️
Thanks :)
All the best
You Too :)
Many years ago I was given great advise - now I see the same advise on gambling ads - "when the fun stops, stop". If you find you're doing something you loved but suddenly find yourself weary of it, it's time to do something else for a while.
That’s some great wisdom right there 👌🏼
@@WheelstoWander sometimes a break is just what's needed, I know you two would always have Wanderlust and that's good- but we can lose our joy if we stop getting the same fun from our lives, take time out, have fun with something else and come back to touring later- you're both young enough for that. Whatever you decide I wish you peace and happiness and bright blessings
I love you guys, continue your adventures, With the best wishes for you 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🤩🤩🤩
Thank you Reza :) All the best, E&M
That temperature change sounds like desert weather.
It is a kind of a desert so it could be!
Ah good that you had a break cos of winter and are back on it in spring. Thought u were stopping forever.
We have already been out riding again! New plans in the making...
I was a little worried when I saw the title of the video. Great filming and production. Looking forward to the new series.
I like that water bottle/carrier you use, I'm looking for one that will hold about one litre.
yes a bit of misleading "click bait" there with the title. 😊
We did want to stop for winter 😉
Sorry about that Graham 😅 Which water bottle carrier is that? The big one is from BBB: Fueltank XXL (discontinued) the small one from Lezyne: Powecage. All the best, E&M
Thank you....rest....Peace
Thanks 🙏🏼
