Yo, foxy friends! 🦊 It’s JoosuStudio (glass engraving), aka the GreyFoxYourney, kicking off my prep for the wild 4,000+ km bikepacking trek from Estonia’s creaky wooden shack to Málaga’s sunny shores! 🚴♂️ Today, I’m testing my streaming gear and pedaling a few km to make sure I don’t look like a blurry potato when I’m dodging French goats next year.
Join me for this short, sneaky spin where I’ll:
• Test my camera & mic (pray for no tech disasters 🤞)
• Show off my current rusty bike (it’s no Riverside Touring 900, yet!)
• Spill some GreyFoxYourney vibes with my AI-generated dark grey fox muse
.
Drop a like if you laughed, subscribe if you’re sly, and comment with your best biking tip (or fox pun)! Let’s make this journey sparkle like my glass art! ✨

good morning i’m fine it is always great to be on on the bicycle and ride how are you oh how long ride did you have from India uh I am from Estonia from the Baltic States near Finland and Russia is it midday in India 8 8:30 okay it’s just like before the work day yeah poor for No I like I also like those views even even though I am used to them mostly flat terrain are you riding for training or just riding yeah there it is oh thank you thank you so much oh yes I agree that uh bike biking is relaxing get your mental state in better in better shape i guess that’s why so many people are addicted to biking and and all the other sports also 10 km in the morning and evening nice for me it’s uh 24 kilometers to the work as and back also 24 or if I if I have time or I’m enjoying uh live streaming I will make longer distances like yesterday it was 60 kilometers so do you live in uh somewhere where there are mountains or also flat terrain okay see you later have a nice day i’m happy you write me wrote me thank you see you bastard no I don’t want to burn out myself it’s already my fifth day in row riding to work and justif kilometers every day oh I got second time seeing her in the same face no it’s uh Estonia estonia from the Baltic states and near the Finland that Russia just Eastern Europe but because it’s so early in the morning for us I guess it shows on Indian platforms platforms more yeah talin is our capital city absolutely right how did you know i’m sure I will answer incorrectly if I try to if I would try to guess capital of the India I would uh answer like Ti maybe nope oh you love have you been here also how did you find us uh how did you find um the Baltic State for yourself oh Malma all right our neighbors over to see Baltic Sea warm welcomes to to the Sweden i have uh been working in Sweden for two months near near Ybury but it was years ago and uh we stood in on the island or how do you pronounce it and you never know maybe one day I will bike through Sweden right now my plan is uh Estonia Latithuania Poland Germany i don’t know if I have time maybe Denmark and Belgium and then back to Germany there france and Spain Portuguese and Spain again no I’m not the only one you can see cars by passing by uh it’s so early 6:00 a.m people go to work at 8:00 my work day starts at 7:00 that’s why I’m on my ride so early today I’m so slow oh my i guess this weekong ride has taken its part oh I someone yesterday asked me this when the when does the sun set and rise but I can only imagine that it’s like 4:30 maybe yeah 4:30 in the morning and maybe maybe 11 11 10 at night oh yeah here you are thank you for following i haven’t uh looked up this oh sorry wake up call oh you didn’t Oh okay um as I looked out for now uh sun rises in Estonia 4:04 a.m and it sets at oh 11 40 at night yeah it’s it’s quite agriculture uh place here lots of fields lots of fields and some animal husbandries yeah one more week and it it starts to get uh darker again oh what’s the wind today i can see uh my my streamlabs uh button is just on top of the my wind speed stats oh fulltime job at first I uh read that uh full-time job like very cheap job uh yeah my uh job starts an hour away and uh ends 4 3:30 so I I will have lots of lots of um daytime Oh so you should have almost like almost as long distance as I have because my ride is taking al time an hour yeah we have public transport also here i used to go to work i know i used to go to work with my coworker in the morning and I Oh my road works i hope they don’t Not my way oh you have even longer distance to work than I have oh it shouldn’t be not so big uh go do you have a gravel bike or this road bike for me it’s a hybrid six seconds right over no it’s just too early but I have seen few cyclists on my morning rides in this week this is my first week i guess the timing must be right an hour later I am sure there are plenty of those oh you have a bike garden or zoo zoo oh I guess I need gravel bike also but can’t afford it this year my main reason is the weight I will have on my chair about 30 to 40 kilos are there bobs open yet in Australia so we can’t sell alcohol before 10:00 a.m at least in the shops and I guess no BS in early morning you need to have a drink okay yeah flat bars are uh um better for I guess for shorter distances because my main fear is that this um fixed hand position will hurt in longer distances so I need to have different positions for hands I guess oh then you absolutely can hit the bub oh is it wind or I’m really tired i’m really behind my schedule yesterday it was absolutely pouring rain down and my time was 1 hour but today I guess it will be a longer wow you did that for real you get me flattered it’s a tourist yes absolutely just it’s too short for the do i wouldn’t imagine myself on the TV in the B just the finish line when I reach at work everybody should would shout on the B yay no way but you can definitely do it next year when I’m when I’m on my real journey then it will be tour Estonia to Spain 3,500 km or even more if I try wanted to visit different places okay let’s get this base up no matter how hard I have to face with the wind and it’s just only a slight breeze nothing doesn’t work yeah it is but also wind wind can be good factor or bad factor depends in which side it’s blow it blows oh a little smiley face smiley face on the ground i haven’t noticed it before i would soon turn to left maybe my wind will start to help me out yeah it took it side winds and it’s it’s like fourth day that garbage is on the ground i’m riding to towards into the wind that’s why it’s so slow now we can see will this ride get better uh we are for my what you mean with stream no not yet ah with my art not right now because I have my day job and it takes it takes time to get the job and get get back home and afterwards I’m tired but um a year ago I was jobless and I did did my engravings yes for a living and uh that’s the main reason why I start my journey next year to ride see places and engrave glass on the road to be noticed by by different people and find better opportunities but right now yes it’s not so easy to engrave or fight but at then again I uh why why did I buy this bike one reason is to get fit uh have can manage my own time and to try out this concept of engraving my glass on on the way this f first week has been more like getting used to riding bike but in the next week maybe I will take my engraving tool with me and have some stops on my way to engrave class it should be on my mind it should be uh interesting journey i have seen lots of people riding just riding one bike and may maybe making local videos but I haven’t found anyone making art on the way or other things i know glass is is fragile and if you know how to hold them then it’s no trouble or back pack back them up besides that I have a little miniature engraving sculptures that are pretty pretty resistant for falling few weeks ago I had a small trip before sunset and I engraved and on live stream and I I managed to let the glass sculpture fall down nothing happened but yes you can break the glass even by engraving it if it’s too thin and uh definitely I can’t carry those finished artworks with me so I might use them for charity reasons to support my journey and and just give away or one one idea is to hide some of my cravings in in big bigger cities so people could start a church search them and who finds gets Tomorrow I should have a rest day uh that’s also one option to use a AE bike that could be one one option that I could have brought for myself otherwise I don’t like so those ebikes i know they will they make my easy life easier but I don’t like it i like old ways it’s just something with cars also somehow I don’t like automatic transmission it’s too lazy oh uh there was one other option also when I would use my bike if I would have a mini trailer bike trailer to tow then I would have also the bike you know this little small trailer where I could sleep and hold my stuff i don’t know who is here or is she so like every time I will warn you don’t do this at home always cross the railways in the right place in the safe place safest way just because we don’t have bike lines here it is this side of the road then I have to use this Oh I need to get the FL smoother surface to read this out not so much traffic at this time okay um do you know he rode a pedal assist from France to South Africa all right did he have a solar panel also took three months or what three years wow yeah a month is too short oh my i feel like I’m running right now yeah how can they first time I can take face up again um uh right now some Estonian guy is riding um around Europe 20,000 km and if he finish it uh he might get 100,000 km behind him as I can remember it he also ran from from Cape Town to Norway or something like that and also other way over Russia and so and now he’s finishing around Europe i hope he managed to do it and get his 100,000 kilometers i hope I won’t get those this crazy to ride so much but you never know you never know oh oh had two batters when I looked out for this option with a bike and trailer trailer then I uh one option was echoflow power station that was that had option to power or charge with EV charger so you could go to any EV station and charge up power station only downside is that it is 40 kilos no no not in a year it was like over 8 years or something or even more not in straight one run but multiple long distances combined my no way 300 km per day no yes she can do it but for myself something out of this world i wouldn’t imagine myself doing it not if all the road could go downhill all the way 300 kilometers per day my god how many hours per day he or she rode like 12 hours a day or something like that oh for a loop then yes I can do them oh my something you something to remember but how did the Guinness record uh company uh inspect it because some things need some Guinness World Record represent to watch this Guinness World Record going up i wouldn’t imagine that someone would have stayed for a year with her okay okay i am 10 minutes i have arrived 10 minutes later to destination yesterday okay I’m on the cooker if I can remember that then I will look up look up on her so my ride is becoming to end now for for this morning i will be back by Monday at the same time uh tomorrow I guess I will rest and on the Sunday I try to go to a local local town to try out making some engravings on public place but thank you for taking part of my today’s run it was way fun way way way more fun with you guys wow have a good day for yourself also bye for now
