We went bikepacking with our E-Bikes for the first time! We had an amazing time biking through SW Germany. Unlike traveling by train or plane, the travel time was exciting, because there was so much to look at!
Where do you like to bikepack?

get back yeah it’s pretty exciting it’s our first time band-aids let’s hope I don’t fall this time bike tires bike tire changing equipment bike bike first aid oh I also need to charge my bike light charge bike light [Music] just finished packing up the clothes so we have a his side and a her side [Music] all right so this is pretty much it minus our rain jackets we’ve got the bike first aid kit and a speaker and my glasses got our hats and our clothes diddy bag diddy bag chalk bag and a towel and everything’s going in paneer bags all right we are all saddled up have about 10 lbs of sunscreen on we’re off off to the races [Music] [Music] so far it is mostly on pavement we’re passing a lot of fields right now [Music] i put 50 what 50 SPF sunscreen on But I think my legs are already burning and we’re only 20 minutes in so I’ll be reapplying I think 10 more times [Music] we are 10 kilometers from our destination for day one long and slinging long and slinging longing and we found a a little lake so dipping our toes in before we continue on so we just made it oh so we are staying at the coolest place um oh that’s really close to my face we are staying at an old monastery and it’s just this giant compound and uh it’s the only thing in the village so we actually are getting dinner and breakfast here because there’s nothing else nothing else around so I’ll show you the the layout so we are staying like right right here this corner um it’s giant sausage cheese and vegetables yes it’s the way to go ben is on his third plate he says it’s there and somebody has to eat it and they’re fried onions there are fried onions [Music] they’re [Music] not touching the ground though jump higher [Laughter] all right so it’s morning of day two yesterday we ended up doing a total of about 51 km yeah 51 51 yes that was all and uh it took us a little over 3 hours with a little break by the lake ben’s bike did run out of battery after 2 hours so yes he’s a trooper he had the bags on his bike too so yes he did that all with his muscles but it’s a little past 7 here um the breakfast starts at 7:30 so we’re trying to get there right away [Music] down [Music] hey hey [Music] all right day two begins we’ve got about a cat 30 minutes of easy riding and then a giant hill [Music] where are we Ben we made it to Kuma they’re Roylanding i’m going to have the garlic chicken nice so this is our favorite Indian spot in the world is that true in the world for me it is cumas ben’s food is sizzling it’s beautiful that naan oh we just arrived at our super cute Airbnb it’s got nice ceilings it’s cool in here it’s got walk around without ducking yeah Ben doesn’t need to duck to go through doors it’s got like a hut over the kitchen which is kind of funky but cute and then a tiny little bed all right we are eating falafel at the best place they have falafel that looks good absolut delicious so yesterday we’re discussing disgusting disgusting they’ll be dripping yeah yesterday we were discussing the things about what makes riding your bike in Germany so nice since it’s both our first time bike packing I found it really nice that you’re never in the middle of nowhere um you might be like in a forest but there’s still like 5 minutes away another village or something you’re never actually alone alone you know if there’s an emergency which I think takes away a lot of the like idea of risk for me so it makes it more enjoyable cuz I’m like “Oh we’re not going to end up in the middle of a desert or something.” I know it’s Germany and we’re not in the desert however that there’s not as much risk so I like that but we could walk to the bakery and baked goods okay slippery slipping we’re on vacation it’s different it’s not real life it’s not real life this is basically World of Warcraft to cook let’s go to the general store what i don’t think they have bakeries in the world i didn’t get it on camera yesterday but I saw the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life it was to be fair it was very far away maybe 50 ft sure and we’re about to take this corner right the road went forward and to the right and we went to the right and then you went “Look it’s a thing it’s a thing.” I was like “Wait wait.” And I had to go down the forward one because there was like 10 tiny brown and white little fluff balls just in in a little school there’s And so then I I rode my bike down but I think my phone was not in a good spot but and then they all jumped into the the tall like wheat but I think they were a tiny tiny gang of bunnies i don’t know what the the name for bunnies are where are we Ben i don’t know where are we boulder house this is where I first learned how to climb it’s true it is arguably the best we love it it’s super hot first thing here in the morning but it already feels like a million degrees [Music] heat heat [Music] [Applause] [Music] you’re getting water out of yours good so bites got a lake [Music] ben’s birthday breakfast an beer plunderer how is it fantastic fantastic yay here what are we doing for your birthday oh we’re picking strawberries well I won’t tell it’s minimum a kilogram each so 4 lb of strawberries over 4 lb 5 lbs of strawberries something like that i just found the most beautiful strawberry [Music] currently on our way to Tubing right now um it’s quite a sunny day it’s about 11:00 a.m glad we got our strawberry picking done early cuz it’s about to be 32 Celsius today I think which is bit warm for me but luckily Ben’s birthday is on Saturday so we get to take the buses for free once into Union and that’s very helpful because the place we’re going for lunch is up a big hill so not have to wreck that today just get to sit so that’ll be nice on Sundays Ben used to come here and get the maltashen because the stores aren’t open got the good goat cheese some meat some yogurt loose apples as always bread quite tasty bread strawberries eggs some juice and there’s where you get your milk we got some sort of ox dish which we’re going to figure out what it is when it arrives and a Caesar salad a couple of gaspachos and a goose fat all right goose fat cheers happy birthday to you happy birthday to you happy birthday dear Ben happy birthday to you and many more montana we were just dying of heat it’s dripping sweat and then it started to rain but it looks like a blue sky so it’s kind of funny but Oh it feels so good 90° and rainy [Music] [Music] ben found a a swing on the river [Music] oh I’m working on it okay [Music] all right we are currently riding home uh dumped on us when we started but now it’s quite warm again hopefully there’s some overcast today so it’s not just direct sun on our skin um yeah we we uh climbed up Boulder House this morning that was really nice and then we ate our strawberries with some ice cream and then we got on the road um say we’re almost uh halfway and then we’re going to get some lunch and then continue on to the monastery again today [Music] we just saw a wolverine i wasn’t even sure they were real no that’s not true but we just saw it i thought it was a deer at first and then it had this tail and a funny run but it’s amazing wow those are some dark clouds sheep bees oh that was lightning oh baby sheep they were just nursing so aggressively that was crazy oh there we go here we go no that one that one is so crazy big one big one big one [Music] no I’m not really ready that’s crazy oh should we wait this out first no I don’t think it’s going anywhere kind of big yeah it does look big yeah okay give me a sec get myself back on i tried to stop in the spot and I didn’t manage that was more intense than I understood it would be when I said let’s go for it today is the last day of our journey um we’re headed home it is our shortest day and it’s also pretty flat um I think the rain has stopped since yesterday so we should have a this pretty dry ride home i think it’s supposed to get quite warm in the afternoon you can get them up we go oh god oh god oh god there we go got a bunch i feel like a deer okay I got some [Music] Heat heat [Music] and we’re home it’s been a few days now since we’ve gotten home so we’ve been able to process it a little bit I guess yeah okay we’ll start with highlights what was the highlight for you biking through the rainstorm i agree that was pretty crazy it was a literal river that we were biking in yeah i also really liked all our animal sightings dolphin we saw Wolverine and a herd of tiny bunnies tiny bunnies birds big birds deer yeah cows oh yeah the baby goats baby goats baby sheep he has many babies oh baby horse okay pretty much baby of everything yeah and then I also really liked going to Tubingan because it’s actually where we met so it was kind of fun the ox channels the ox jowls were not my favorite thing um I actually had a hard time eating that but it’s okay but you like the gins of I liked the goose fat it was quite delicious yeah okay so what did we learn you learned to have some different clothes cuz your sunshirt got real smelly yes I wore a sunshirt but then I also had a backpack on and I should have washed that after day one I think cuz then after day two of the biking it was just bad so guess either do more laundry or have more sunshirts that’s what I learned there and we both wanted to have padded shorts three plus hours became harder after a few hours of riding very hard and uncomfortable so yes I understand all the bikers now with their padded booty shorts that sound very nice oh gosh okay we also uh recorded a video about 2 minutes after waking up and having and not sleeping very well yeah and we didn’t sleep very well either so we come off a little slow yes my sentences are you know switching order you were just using grammar from different languages sure and my eyes are closed a little bit so yes maybe we shouldn’t record so early and lastly it’s very good idea to buy a lot of strawberries right before you leave town no no it’s not a very good idea to buy strawberries right before you leave town we bought over three kilograms of strawberries the day before we’re supposed to leave and uh let’s say that the day that we actually left we had a lot of melted strawberries in the bag which we ate and we cooked the alcohol we did eat them but they were not in the best uh condition and would you do it again Ben i have a bike a destination 10 out of 10 10 out of 10 all right would do again it was great super fun so you would do it again i would do it again where would you go boden balden all right bowden here we come
