The Hardest Day – Waking up early at the edge of the Osumi Canyon to tackle a pass to the Vjosa Valley (Albania). Before we go up we first change out our chains at an abandoned gas station. After going wrong for some kilometers we turn back and find the track that leads to the most demanding stretch of cycling we have ever done! Going up becomes tougher and tougher until eventually the track disappears into a wasteland. When we finally reach the pass the downhill seems even more daunting…
To see, feel, smell, hear and taste everything the road has to offer will be so much different than watching a documentary or reading a book about it. Sometimes it will be difficult and most of the time fantastic. We hope you will find some inspiration in our video’s and maybe fuel your dreams as so many other have done for us.

What a day! Challenging and after a long push to make it also very rewarding :.) If you would like to share a similar experience please let us know in the comments?
Very beautiful.
Hoi Maudi en Eric,
Allereerst een diepe buiging voor jullie "werk" op YT. maar ook physiek. Heb jullie enkele dagen geleden gevonden
Ik weet uit ervaring dat wat jullie ondernemen enorm veel doorzettingsvermogen vraagt. Want opgeven is geen optie.
Eric petje, af het is onbeschrijfelijke "heavy stuff" wat jullie doen. (dank zei Google 🙁
Maudi 2 petjes af. Zoals jij reageert als je boven bent op deze pas: AMAZING!!!
Dit is BLOED, ZWEET en TRANEN.
Maar jullie 2 hebben genoeg relativerings- en incasseringsvermogen en flexibiliteit om je uit dergelijke situaties te redden.
Ook mooi hoe je oog hebt voor details (schildpad) Maudi.
Take care for eache other.
C'est formidable j ai beaucoup apprécié à bientôt merci beaucoup les images sont magnifiques merci beaucoup à bientôt
😱😂🤗💪👍👍👍
What is the average weight you are caring on your bicycles?
Amazing views, thank you for taking all the effort to make such movies. you rock. Watching it in the middle of covid with new restrictions coming i begin to wonder if we will be able to see the world…..
You guys are to be commended for surviving that “riverbed road”. But, I’m curious. Did you choose to take that road or was it a mistake? Surly, there had to be a better road to ride a bicycle on to get you to your desired destination.
It is the toughest road.
I saw your vlog one by one.
Someday i will ride on road.
Good luck.
Embrace the suck.
Well – been there done that )) Even to a point it was so steep had to use a bike to anchor ourselves for about 300 meters and slide slowly. Shame didn't film any of it. But yes, the day you've had was challenging enough to have the next day just resting a bit.
Imagine How lucky that Turtle is??
what app do you use to map?
Nice
But you were sent to save the turtle.
When I bicycled through the region the war in the former Yugoslavia was going full tilt. It is good to see Piece across the land.
Hi there,
Your videos always have a certain tension. It can be steep mountains but also a meadow. And always well supported by the music.
This is one of the reasons why your videos are very special.
PS
Your route reminds me of this one
I hope it's ok if I post this link

Bikkels. Respect !!
Wth why are you guys doing this trail why don't you ride through the cities and the forests this looks like you guys are taking a bunch of shortcuts you might as well have a fold up bike and just hike half of this crap you guys did travel heavy too that you got some big bags on your bike Don't you guys have a credit card and just once in awhile sleep in a hostel?
I have attached an old inner tube to my hips and seat stem or seat tube to assist when walking the bike. Keep it low. It really eases the strain on your arms and shoulders.
