- How to pack your bike bags to travel on your gravel bike. All about my bike packing setup including bike packing bags, the things you need, and how to stay organized. You'll also get some tips for your first bike packing trip. This is my setup for riding the Camino de Santiago with a lot of dust and grease from the cycling adventure. We take a closer look at my AGU equipment, which is perfect to do bike travels on a budget. Favorite feature: The bags are made from recycled plastic. They're really sick and I use them for years, those exact ones.

Recording this felt a little bit awkward as I am not used to talking to the cam when I am not riding my bike. I forgot how to speak and act normal 😂 Anyone else more confident when riding bikes?
I feel 10 times more confident and twice as good looking when I'm on my bike. Shout out to Giant bicycles for making that possible!
It’s fine! 👌🏻 Please post a link with the whole pack of bags from Agu at nice price. I found only the bags in separate.😁
I ride bike on high way with slipper in storm and it is fucking good.
A lot of driver show respect and said hi.
Everything is better when you're on your bike.
It’s funny cause sure it seems/feels awkward to talk to the camera, but part of what I really enjoy about your content is that it’s not over produced or staged. It’s honest, real and down to earth.
Don’t sweat it dude, no one likes to hear themselves, but I like watching yourself and the videos you make.
I'd never heard of AGU bags. I'm impressed, esp. that they're made of recycled materials. Thx
They’re an awesome company from the Netherlands ☺️
I use several bags in different sizes for my MTB, Gravelb en girlfriends gravelb. They are amazing for the price :D!
I really enjoy watching this Camino series. I think you and Virginia strikes a marvelous chemistry.
it's always worth listening to somebody who backpacks regularly for those all important tips & ideas
Thanks! I am planning for a similar trip and your advice was super helpful, plus it’s inspiring to see you cover all those distances :)
Legit tips... thank you
Respect 🙏
You (both) have inspired me to try this journey 🎉
The price on those bags as a group is great!! Holy smart way to price them!!
Also, LOVE the electrician’s tape upgrade to your slides!!! Noticed it in the last video. lol. Keep those adventure shoes going!
Very wise advices. Clear, simple, no bullshit. Thanks. And congratulations!
Thanks for the lovely feedback ☺️🤟🏽
Great job Alina, really light packing.
Nice video! You are presenting very well and you give some good tips 👏👏
I'm doing Camino de Santiago next year. From Poland/Germany border all the way to Santiago :)
Hi
Following your travel adventure to Santiago has remembered me the times I did it. I always cycled a mountain bike and I used some of the tips you explain in this video. A pair of shocks, a pair of t-shirts... you dont really need much to do it.
I traveled once to Amsterdam and Utrech and I got in love with the country, Netherland, and the spirit of cycling there you have. I wish some day I could travel around your country...
Well lovely videos. I enjoyed so much, so funny, specially when you get into the shop riding your bike to look for some chocolate, just like I really knight into his castle. I think Ive got in love Virginia...😱 bie
Another great video. I have enjoyed watching your trip. Informative, entertaining, inspiring!! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Thank you so much ☺️
Getting ready for October 3-12 ride Lisbon - Compostela. Thanks for the packing tips. I knew I have to go light. After watching your video I am taking two jerseys instead of one and two pairs of socks instead of three. :-)
That sounds amazing, you’re going to love it!
It’s good to have everything double to dry over night ☺️🙌🏼
My favorite part of the video is when you can see the cycling tan.
Haha no chance I can ever hide it and I won’t 😂
That was soooo helpful. Thank you
Love this. You got your route anywhere? Always wanted to ride this.
I found a fascinating explanation of the value and function of salts/minerals in "The Salt Fix" by Dr. James DiNicolantonio.
I'm always watching your videos! I've been into road biking for about two and a half years now and I'm starting to get into gravel road biking too! 🚵
Thanks for the very informative videos! I also love your Instagram with all the very nice looking photos! 🤙🏼
Great tips I have never heard of the olive oil one thought will have to remember that, sun block for sure has been on my list
Super thanks!
Finished my 700ks Pamplona to Santiago mountain bike ride on the camino in May. Much heavier at a total weight of 28kg but coming from Australia I didn't want to chance not having spares, also with drone and paperwork. So the uphill sections were brutal. I enjoyed following your ride and look forward to your next adventure.
Como e gelato? Funny video ladies! Cheers!
Two questions… how do you set the right pace so you are not too tired later on in the ride and how do you secure your bike when you go into shops and cafes? Thanks for the inspiration!
I think the best way to set a chill pace is to check your HR and look for that sweet spot, each person is different so the HR ranges may vary a LOT.
I’ve done a lot of endurance rides and I guess that comes with experience. If you can feel your legs burning, you’re too fast to keep that speed. It should be a little tiring but try to stick to a speed that feels like you can go forever. If you are not tired in the evening you can go faster 🤟🏽. What we want on those trips is a deep sort of tiredness, no muscle soreness.
I’m training without heartrate as I know my body quite well but it can help to find your sweet spot ☺️
Great tips!
Gracias por los tips! El helado no puede faltar :D
How do you find people to do these awsome adventures with? I would really like to do a bike packing trip, but none of my friends ride bikes and I would prefer not to ride alone. Is there some kind of platform that exists to find other adventurers?
I understand the struggle. You need to find people who how are available and up for such adventures and it’s not easy. Virginia and I were friends before and we were speaking about doing something like this together for ages.
I’ve also reached out to people on Instagram, which is how I met @lawrencecarpenter for example. So try this platform! 🥰
Bạn đến Việt Nam, nơi trải nghiệm cung đường xe đạp ven biển , tuyệt vời 👍
Hello! Great videos! I have a question regarding the seat pack. Is the inner bag easy to put in and out?
Thanks 🙏🏽
It’s super easy! It’s just velcro strips.
so cute :)
Such a nice adventure..it was so cool and informative... I wanted to know what happened to the stamp book..like what is that and once you finish what you do with it..it was nice ..
Hey Alina, great video and setup! Do you think you could include a bike check of your Fara parts? Interesting mix of GRX/Ultegra
Do you ask if it's okay to bring your bike to the room (airbnb/hotel) or do you just do it and hope nobody complains?
I mostly tell in advance if it’s Airbnb and if it’s a hotel I let them know how expensive bikes are if they don’t offer another safe solution. I’ve also left a hotel once as they wouldn’t let me take my bike with me to the room. In fact they called me back and I got an upgrade 🤟🏽
You carry only one water bottle ? I get very anxious if I run low on water. How do you manage it ?
Fantastic, brava!!!🔝🔝🔝
Hi, could you share info on your gearing setup? greetings from Ghent, Belgium :)
Which “Finish Line” lubricant-wet/dry-did you use? Thank you kindly.
Love it! Can you post a link to your route please?
🚴 it's my life 🙏👍👍👍
Don’t you find it hard to reach for the water bottle with the bag under the tube? Also have you considered flat pedals to have only one pair of shoes?
Try some E6000 Glue to fix your adventure shoes.
Hi, Agu tube venture how many liters ?Thx
Brilliant. Been wanting to walk the whole pilgrimage route for many years..but doing it on my gravel bike might be an option. Is there plenty of secure bike storage available for overnights?
How do you do it with the water supply? You only have one bottle and not every tour runs along many water points. Do you have any tips? I always have a problem with carrying enough water.
Thanks!
Who did the into music?
Did anybody do it on Canyon grizl aluminium?
Hi, what volume is the saddlebag? I’ve go the other 2 already but i dont know how many liters i need in the saddlebag for 2 to 3 day trip.
What would you say is the bare minimum camera gear on a trip? I'm looking at a smartphone + maybe a gimbal for now, but not sure how convenient it would be to grab while riding.
Whatever works for you! Start small and easy is my tip. Stabilisation is important and on-bike handling should be easy.
Come to Texas
Amazing video, do you have a gpx file of the route?
Yeah; you can follow me on STRAVA ☺️🤟🏽
Alina....What kind of watch do you have and where did you get it?
It’s the Breitling endurance pro ☺️🤙🏾
Great video. Did you take a lock?
We had a small one 🙌🏼☺️
Did you find you knees/legs rubbing against the top tube bag much?
Well if I pack too many snacks, definitely. But generally it’s fine ☺️
Is it better/easier to use cash or credit cards when Bike Packing the Camino de Santiago?
Please prepare both.
Luckily we had both until Virginia lost our credit cards plus her purse 😂. Have like 50€ - 100€ of cash and you should be fine. Most places, even the smaller ones, accepted credit cards.
You are a Wonder Woman
what wheelset do you have?
😻
Hola Alina, what kind of watch do you wear?
Hej, it’s the Breitling Enfurance Pro ☺️
Is that a Breitling endurance? 🧐
Yes 🙌🏼
Welche Pedale fährst du da eigentlich??
Shimano SPD
Thanks for all tips!
One comment about the boom box: I personally don't like people blasting their music around. A wireless earbud is more respectful and saved weight will allow you another clothe change.
Unfortunately that’s strictly forbidden in Spain because there are safety concerns.
I wait for this video..so small pack..need eat out, stay in hotel, and hand wash clotsing every day..ok get it
You don't need to stay in a hotel. I just have one more bag at the handlebar for my tent + air mattress + sleeping bag (together something between 1,5 and 2kg).
Yeah those kind of adventures are awesome 🤩
Hello "comrade" cyclist, I'm Luís and I live near Compostela and I would like to meet you. Have you already left?
ich habe meine Adiletten mit jeweils zwei Schnellbau-Schrauben in den Seiten repariert.🤣🤣🤣...
Geil 😂😂😂😂😂
wait, there was a bikepacking bike? doh..
Der neue hipster shit, dass alle mit einem gravel bike unterwegs sind!
Versuch mal, vielleicht bist du dann entspannter 😂
the world has become influencer bla bla ... its not about stories anymore. stupid posing and brand publicity is the new way.
For the next time: never again recording under the porches!
your arms are toasted 🐱

Ahahaha 😂😂😂. Essential 😂😂😂
