    People: "I'm going to train for 6 -12 months, 7 days a week, 50-100km's/day!!!!"
    Jake: "pffft, training?.... how hard is it to ride 1,000km's (on one of the hardest tracks in the world) over just a few weeks!!!? I've walked that distance already and that took a few months!!!"
    Great stuff mate :) can't wait for the rest of the series :) Cheers, Don (Dons Shed and Xplor Overland)

      The suggestion from Jake (and I) is that you savour the munda biddi videos. The bibbulmun ones aren't nearly as watchable 😂 the camera work was not on point, however the story is good 🙂

      When Jake initially showed me the bibbulmun and we talked about putting it up on this channel I was a bit skeptical but ended up quite liking it. This adventure though, I absolutely love it! I reckon everyone that follows along is gonna be hooked 😁

    I tried the 1st section in 2011. It seemed brutal with all the hills near Mundaring and the pea gravel, only got barely to Pickering Brook with only a day pack. I'm glad you found it difficult by the look of it. Makes me feel a bit better.

  • @afewspokesloose2699
    @afewspokesloose2699 4 года назад

    Great video. I've fallen in love with the Munda Biddi this year. I'm a bit amused at you deciding you need bike shorts by the time you reached Wungong. I'm planning to do Mundaring to Collie in a day soon, as part of a full trip. I'll definitely be wearing my bike shorts :p
    Kudos on the cheap bike expedition. Inspires me to see what the minimum bike I can shred along there is.

    What a cool trip on basic gear. For $100 that bike was a bargain. I know it was a year ago, but padded shorts are to get rid of sweat. It’s the salt burns that kill the skin, not lack of padding. I feel your pain. Well done 🤘

    What a cool video. I dont think there is another munda biddi trail video on youtube. Well done on filming one handed while riding over that terrain. A go pro strapped to the helmet or handle bars may of beena bit more useful and less dangerous. Seeing as jake likes solo bush stuff, he should invest in a etrex 30 navigation system, upload the track and it is accurate as fk in letting u know whether ur on the right path or not.

    • @Alex.G
      @Alex.G  4 года назад

      I dunno how he didn't drop the bike more! Unfortunately I had all the GoPros and needed them for work, just had this handheld gimbal camera I lent him 🙄 should have just spent the money and got him another gopro really! That nav system is a good idea...maybe next time he goes solo I'll kit him out with gopros AND an etrex!

      Yeah only cos he got it second hand, pretty old and needing a bit of work. I think they were about $800 brand new. Yeah we expect the thumbs down, it's just an effect of putting mountain bike video in front of people who are vehicle camping enthusiasts. 🙂

    Why didn't you use a bike mount for your camera. Love the picturesque scenery, but way to difficult and dangerous to hold the camera and ride...

    • @Alex.G
      @Alex.G  4 года назад

      It's a gimbal type camera so doesn't suit a mount
