Two friendly warnings Wild camping is totally forbidden here in Spain so don't get caught. And secondly never have a camp fire this will definitely get you in a lot of trouble. Otherwise enjoy.
Thank you for sharing the bad and good moments! 08:15 showers -- my tip. Buy pair of massage/scrub gloves (from like Rossmann, dirt cheap), soap or something like this (preferably without SLS, because it is hard to wash off), and just a 0.5L bottle with water. Then make a small hole (with knife) in the bottle cap. Soak your gloves, rub against body, add a little soap, rub again, and so on, you get the idea. It is amazing how little water is needed, not counting hair, my record is 200ml. Even if there is river nearby, the bottle is handy (to avoid showering directly in the river). All the best, hugs!
I use a Garmin 1040 solar for my trips but don't use the inbuilt navigation on it (not sure if you loaded a pre-determined route or used the computer's internal navigation) as it can sometimes send me on roads that I do not want to ride on. Instead I use komoot to plot the route using the cycle touring option and then download the gpx file to my phone and use garmin connect to send the route to my Garmin. Maybe you already did this (if so please just ignore me), but if not you might find this helpful. With regards to mood, it's such a temporary and fragile thing. I think it is important in the good mood moments to really feel it and enjoy it, but when the doom and gloom hits just remember that is is temporary. I was so pleased to see this play out in this video so quickly - what a difference two hours made!
@@bicweld I remember from one episode when it was too rainy to use the solar panels that she went to a McDonald’s for a couple hours to upload and charge everything.
No ofence, but can You explain why riding on bike with this kinda shoes? In my opinion, they are not comfortable for the distances riding over 10-15 km. Have safe trip!
Hey Giant Cheerio, thanks again. Your videos are just great learning resource as well as being so fun to watch. It'd be amazing if you could make a video about the equipment upgrades you have made since your previous set up (with the black Giant bike). It looks like your bike + set up is quite different from before. Best, Seb
Hey Giant Cheerio! I noticed in this video that you're riding a different bike, and it appears to be a steel frame bike. I'm curious, how do you find this bike compared to your carbon bike? Does it perform better in any specific ways? I'm always interested in hearing about riders' experiences with different types of bikes. Keep up the awesome videos!
I decided that I am better off with a steel bike when it comes to bikepacking. I am heavily loaded and my carbon frame was not made for this. It was made for speed and sometimes the bike frame kind of "swung" when I was speeding due to all the weight. This doesn't happen with my new bike. I am pretty happy with it :))
We would like a list of your highest quality German swear words.😅With translation of course. Was wondering also if you tour 12 months or do you work during the "off season" to build up some money?
Same happens to me..just names..dust & smoke..most important the experiences on the way..next time you pass La Palma where I am living..next week I am cycling from Cadiz to Bavaria..Cherioo
Finally, a new video! Yes, the mood during travel is a very important element. But it's good that you found a way to compose yourself and continue on.😀😀
I went across that little ferry outside Sevilla on the way to Cadiz. It reminded me of something out of Apocalypse Now early in the morning. Great video.
I really liked this video! It felt more continuous or connected, which was interesting! It’s funny how you accidentally cycled 100km when I get horribly sore by 50! It sucks when a bad mood hits you despite being on the bike, since that’s usually my medication, ha.
Hey Cheerio, don't apologise, your freakin' swearing is funny, also, you probably know this, and it isn't always possible anyway but you don't get condensation under trees: )
Great video GC... it shows you really are human. OK, a super human but human none the less. You take care out there, love your videos and travel stories.
I just ' discovered' your channel. ( Actually it was suggested to me by RUclips) First I thought your channel was sponsored by Giant. You mentioned that the dogs barking kept you awake..... Welcome to Spain. The best country to in the world if you can get use to barking dogs. Not just in the countyside. They are everywhere and the Spanish people don't even seem to notice... Honestly, I asked various people but all I got was stares. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing this bike packing video 😀. Beautiful area! I'm like you when it comes to remembering what cities I have been to? I just know they were fun, different, foreign and beautiful. Safe Travels Mi Amiga! Peace ✌️and Love ❤️ from Tucson Arizona Desert 🏜️
Cowboy camping…..giddy up cowpoke ….. use your tent and lay flat on top of you to keep the morning dew and moisture off … if too warm then just use the ground cover cloth as moisture covers…. Just thoughts…
I installed my bike GPS on Good Friday and almost crucified it. But now i got used to use it. And it's just great. And I'm at least twice the age you are. So, you are not too old. Definitely.
I really enjoy your Bike Packing adventures 😁✌️❤️. Thanks for sharing the Honesty of life as a Cyclist while traveling! I'm not always a Happy Cyclist 😔. I also Curse in English, Spanish when I'm feeling Bad 🤔. Peace 🙏 and Safe Travels Mi Amiga 💕
Actually I‘m cycling to Huelva the next two days. I just found your videos by chance and I‘m amazed. I started cycling 3 months ago and I’m on the way to Portugal. Maybe we will meet the next days, but I think I already missed you… Nethertheless tailwinds!🤙🏻
Schöne Ecke da, dort wollte ich auch hin.. irgendwann. ;) Unter freien Himmel schlafen.. bestimmt toll, aber sind da keine Viecher? Ich hätte da etwas schiss haha LG Daniel
What kind of Cycling Computer did you get. I think that smart Phone paired with Komoot ost best....but Wahoo is als SEHR GUT. Viele Grüße aus dem Taunus, Frank
@@giantcheerio Das habe ich auch...Die erste Version....und Komoot geht es mal, und mal nicht...das find ich bei einem Gerät in der Preisklasse nicht so gut.
I have an air mattress similar to yours ….needs to be expelled of air then rolled up exactly to fit in its zero room for error tight fitting bag… 🤣…..I may try and find another strong bag slightly larger 🥳
You make me smile even when you’re in a bad mood 🤣🚴🏽♀️👍
Two friendly warnings

Wild camping is forbidden in most of europe, I think she knows.
Even though forbidden, it doesnt stop people, they just have to stealth camp.
@@DemiGod.. I know this. And do so myself. As I said just don't get caught.
Great to see you back in the saddle again ❤

hey, great video! :)
can I ask how/where do you charge your devices when you're wildcamping? have a nice trip and stay safe.
She uses solar panels) She already talked about them)
@@bicweld I remember from one episode when it was too rainy to use the solar panels that she went to a McDonald’s for a couple hours to upload and charge everything.
@@grundewa Yes, in principle it is possible and so))
I am using a solar panel as well as a couple of power banks :)
Welcome back 🙏
I love the sound of your bike, ceramic bearings?
Keep enjoying the road.
Never apologise for swearing when technology is involved. They go hand in hand. Lol.
No ofence, but can You explain why riding on bike with this kinda shoes? In my opinion, they are not comfortable for the distances riding over 10-15 km. Have safe trip!
I do that because I love it. Couldn't imagine anything better ! Slippers on the goooo
Je suis très heureux de te revoir dans de nouveaux voyages. Have good journey 😉👍✌
Amazing 🤩
I had Coyotes waking me up this morning
They more annoying 😑

good video! technology can be a pain!

Awesome epik video
You are making a real fantasy with your life, Andalucia is so beautiful,so Canary Islands!!
Thanks for sharing your experiences with us!!
Brilliant back packing cycling! Best wishes !
Was that a "click stand" I saw you using??? If so, an item which pairs well with that is a "SteerStopper".
"Which is always amazing on the road, not!"
Just out of curiosity does that type of sarcasm translate well in German?
It does!
@@giantcheerio keep up the great work loving your videos. Gives me inspiration when I feel like I can't be arsed to get out on my bike! 👍😁👍
I really liked this video! It felt more continuous or connected, which was interesting!
It’s funny how you accidentally cycled 100km when I get horribly sore by 50!
It sucks when a bad mood hits you despite being on the bike, since that’s usually my medication, ha.
Hey Cheerio, don't apologise, your freakin' swearing is funny, also, you probably know this, and it isn't always possible anyway but you don't get condensation under trees: )
How do you have enough electrical power? Do you have a dynamo?
Your eliminating the last town from your memory in order to find the next town
Beware the snakes when you're sleeping on the ground
Hello cherrio you are a masing 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Always your video🎥 make me happy
How to meet such a girl??)i am from Russia
Great video GC... it shows you really are human. OK, a super human but human none the less. You take care out there, love your videos and travel stories.
👍
Hi there :) What kind of GPS are you using? Is it an app on the phone or is there a separate cycling computer?
I am using the wahoo element roam combined with komoot. It's working pretty well but when I am in a bad mood, then everything just sucks :D
I love your video, very motivating!

When you get angry ,it’s hilarious because I get anger issues the same way! It’s especially funny when you swear in German

I am planning a long trip across Europe as well. My question is: how do you manage laundry?
I take a hostel or hotel about every week and do my laundry per hand. Or I wash them in a stream. Hope this helps you!
Quick washes in public toilets or going to laundries from time to time :)
Actually I‘m cycling to Huelva the next two days.
I just found your videos by chance and I‘m amazed.
I started cycling 3 months ago and I’m on the way to Portugal. Maybe we will meet the next days, but I think I already missed you…
Nethertheless tailwinds!🤙🏻
So, i think it's because u Wake up after sunrise 🌄 everything gets wet from humidity
I feel i have a great idea for bikepacking !!! get an adapter from your bike pump to your air mattress so that you have a quick and easy setup. 😮
GC really loving your videos. That ferry, what the heck, I didn't know about that, it looked great.
U sangkuik 😅😅😅
Love your videos and always look forward to them...thank goodness for clear running stream's. To freshen the mood..all the best from Australia 👍
Thankyou for your videos you are very inspirational 😊
Hahaha my brain works the same, just cant remember 😅 groeten uit Nederland 👌
What a great way to see a country I'm doing a big cycle next week
Schöne Ecke da, dort wollte ich auch hin.. irgendwann. ;)
Unter freien Himmel schlafen.. bestimmt toll, aber sind da keine Viecher? Ich hätte da etwas schiss haha
LG Daniel
Can you please tell me what you are filming for? What kind of camera or smartphone do you have? What model? Thank you!))
I am using a go pro 10, dji mini 2, Samsung s22 & since 3 months a Sony alpha camera :)
Danke!! So funny the story of your mood!!🤣
Thank you for your videos!
I enjoy following you on your adventures.
Do you know what your bike weighs fully loaded?

Great video one of your best, thank you
I wish you all the best for your journey

What kind of Cycling Computer did you get.

Ich hab das wahoo element roam. Funktioniert sehr gut mit komoot aber manchmal muss man auch einbisschen abdrehen (je nachdem stimmungslage:D)
@@giantcheerio Das habe ich auch...Die erste Version....und Komoot geht es mal, und mal nicht...das find ich bei einem Gerät in der Preisklasse nicht so gut.
Cool 😎
MAY GOD be WITH you on your journey
