I cycled from my hometown, about 30 km south of Munich, all the way to Oviedo in northern Spain.
My setup: the Rose Backroad 1 with SRAM Apex XPLR 1×11 and Cyclite bike bags.
Along the way, I had 4–5 flat tires – all in Spain – but nothing could ruin the ride.
The trip was the perfect mix of discovering new cities, enjoying nature, and being active at my own pace.
The weather was kind: only two rainy nights and one five-minute shower.
My personal highlight? A huge, empty beach south of Bordeaux, surrounded only by forest and bike paths – no roads, no noise, just peace.
So, if there’s one thing to take away from this video: grab your bike and just get moving! 🙂

Welcome to my 2,00 something kilometer bike tour from Munich to northern Spain through France. Now I’m already in half of the way. And if you want to see how it started, stay [ __ ] tuned. Day one of my bicycle tour to Spain. I’m in Germany right now. 2,300 kilometers to go. Around 20,000 height meters. The mood is good. I did 5 km right now. My full setup is 20 kg. Like the bike with all the camping and hammock and stuff. And now we go. I started pretty late today though, but I will just see how far I get today and then make a break. But the goal for today is like not to overpace. So I’ll have muscle pain tomorrow or the day after because it’s going to be 18 days full of cycling and 3 days break. 60 kilometers done. 100 kilometers are done. 125 kilometers done. Soon I’m going to check for a spot to sleep and make pasta. So I have energy tomorrow. We did 125 kilometers today and it went actually pretty good, but I’m also pretty tired. So, we will see tomorrow. We have 6:00. I just stand up. I didn’t sleep so good because there was some wedding or so and I could hear the music like until 5 or uh 3 4 in the night. That was pretty annoying. Now I pack my stuff together and then leave. Today we have to do 125 km again. Yo, still pretty cold though. But soon we are in a town where there’s a bakery. First 20 kilometers done. It’s super warm again. And I’m going up this hill, so I get even warmer. Yeah. 28 kilometers the first wine yards are appearing or it’s hot. I don’t know. I think it’s hot actually. Or or no it’s vines grapes. Nice. Now the lake of constants after 71 km. We did now 90 km. It’s super warm. It’s like two. So I’m doing the break now and then I will continue in like 1 hour. I already left the lake of Constance somewhere. There it is 5:00 p.m. We did 115 kilometers. 10 kilometers to go for today. It’s still super warm. And now comes the biggest climb of the day. 300 height meters in 5 kilometers. Ah, I have a push Okay, I did 138 km now. I’m at this cool old railway station spot. Uh, but I’m continuing so I can already do a few kilometers of the tour tomorrow. Yes, they’re still bright. me again. Do I go where do I run? Here’s actually the border to Switzerland and I’m cycling on the German side. Okay, we have 2130. I did 168 kilometers today. I found this spot to put the hammock and I will set it up and then go to sleep like this. Perfect. Everything is set up. We have a good view and then I go to sleep very soon. Okay. Today, Sunday the 22nd, the third day on tour. I feel actually very good. It’s now 6:50. I woke up at this amazing view and I will eat something and then start packing and go on my way. We have 8:19. Everything is packed on the bike. The hammock is also unbuilt, of course. This was here before, so I’m going to leave it. Some uh air humidifier, so car fragrance. Yeah. And now I’m going on my way to France. The sun is also here already. Perfect. I already did 50 kilometers. It’s super hot. I’m doing uh I think I did the biggest climb of the day just now, I hope. And now it’s mostly downhill until the border. Yo, I did now 80 km 20 km into the border. And to show how warm it is, I will just do this. Yeah. We are in France. Nice. I am now in France. Actually looks the same, but the roads are very different. They’re way worse here. Well, let’s see how this changes or stays over the way. Okay, the smell is super crazy here. It’s like in the tropical house in the zoo or in the botanical garden with this view. I’m here on the bike just paddling and watching this. Uh, yeah. I’m also the death that is called topo active Europe because active Europe doesn’t have Spain and France. it only has Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy and then in the eastern area like Adania and stuff and now here in France I only have this and the nice thing is I cannot download this over the phone. I have to have Wi-Fi and the western part I can only download the computer somehow. So I tried one hour to figure out like how to do it without stress or but I didn’t manage to even though I also got the premium subscription now but it still doesn’t work. Um, yeah. Now I got a Airbnb, so I’m going back 5 km and then I shower, eat, and try to fix it. So, I made it to the Airbnb. Now I’m going to recharge all my stuff, take a shower, and enjoy the bed. And then try to fix the garment and then tomorrow go with energy into the day. Okay, it I managed to made it work. I needed to get the subscription for the Topo Active Plus so I can download the stuff without a computer. But now I have a map and it will work. I’m leaving this ambient on my way. to I have strong headwinds now. I cannot have tailwind all the time, but I’m going chill. Man, this viation is working. Yes. And I’m also seeing clouds for the first time on the tour. Let’s hope it doesn’t rain behind me. I’m missing the blue sky. But yesterday I checked the weather forecast and it said fine, but I only checked for the town which I just left. So I will have to check soon. The weather is it still doesn’t didn’t but it is not looking good. And I will use the time to make some lunch and pasta. And I’m under the bridge. So in case it starts raining I can just sit it out. Yeah. But the wind is like super strong today. The check is like 20 to 25 km per hour, which is pretty annoying because it’s straight. Yeah, straight. Let’s see how long we follow this canal. The first bridge crossing over the canal. Perfect. Finally. Yeah, it’s not so much wind anymore. And I can go on the speed that I want to go. This beautiful view. Yeah, the sun. I left the canal apparently. I set up my sleep spot today. I use my tent. There’s the bike. Still a bit bright. And I’m straight next to the road. Hope I will not get any problems, but I didn’t find another spot. and um uh build the tent down very early tomorrow. So, and it’s very clean. It was a good spot for the night. My eyes feel a bit [ __ ] but otherwise I slept very good. Sun is already there and then I will continue very soon. Today it is 8:26. I unbuilt everything again. Spot is clean. I packed everything up and now we continue. May we leave the canal today or maybe not. We will see. This is like in my hometowns. Zi also has this stones. It’s beautiful. text. We have now short before 3. I did 65 kilometers and it’s super hot right now. So, I will wait a bit. like 20 30 minutes and then I continue on the mission. Uh still speed is 60. I have to go 135 today. So it is like 75 left. Yeah. Let’s go. I found my camping spot. I did 133 kilometers today. I went again a little bit farther than the daily goal, like 2 or 3 km. And now I found this epic spot a little bit hidden from the main way. I put my hammock in the back somewhere. No one sees it. And here’s only the bike path or field way. And I think I will be fine. Or maybe I put it here. Here. I didn’t even check yet. Yeah, it looks all very promising. Nothing here. But there are some trees, but they are better trees. I think the hammock is set up. I will eat and then go to sleep so I can continue with good energy tomorrow. We have 8:01. I packed everything together. The hammock is un done and I will continue now. Today will be thunderstorm warning. So, I got an Airbnb. So, nice hours in the morning when the streets are empty. It’s still not so warm, but also not so cold anymore. You can just go in a good speed and it’s perfect. Enjoy the landscape. There’s nice shadows. Sun is not so high yet. Amazing. Well, at least it’s not a perfect cycle track all the time. What? This is such a bumpy track. God, are those butterflies? I don’t want to go through them. Okay, I did 68 kilometers. We have 1325 in the peak of the heat and it’s sweating so much. It’s super exhausting. And I just checked my legs. Like damn. So disgusting. Like I really need to [ __ ] a shower or bath again because here are no rivers or lakes on the way all the time like in Bavaria. Sadly. here shadows, but the power bank is charging here. And I’m chilling here. I made it to the Airbnb. There’s already thunderstorm and rain outside. And yeah, I’m washing the stuff. I dried the bike pants and there’s no supermarket nearby. So, I’m eating raw baguette with a little bit of olive oil and bananas. 10:34 I’m leaving again. I hope I’m going not into the next thunderstorm, but could be [ __ ] cloak. Here we go. Yes, sir. There was a bit of a storm, I think, and I’m going through this at the zone, bro. Yeah. Okay. I have to be careful not to lift my no on this [ __ ] There you go, bro. No. Yeah. Nice. Okay, I can see the end. It’s there. The way I just have to get the bike over those sticks. But that’s a mission for sure. Okay, I made it through. And now I have to hope they’re not so many more. Oh, this would be really annoying. What the [ __ ] Where did I end up here? Then I trust already so many [ __ ] up trees. And now I see over there it’s like fully closed. But I don’t want to go back. I need to push. Don’t have I don’t want to go back. Maybe there’s a sick ass part coming behind me. Oh, those trees. Even walking through this is annoying. Just thought there are not so many fs. So I don’t get a flat tire. Okay, that would be already [ __ ] annoying. And after that it’s like digger. Yeah, I have to go through it now. There’s no way back. I made it now through the one [ __ ] tree. Cut myself here a bit. Here a bit. Nice. Very nice. [ __ ] [ __ ] Sway as [ __ ] ass. I made like 200 m in the last 20 minutes. Ah. [ __ ] piss [ __ ] It really is annoying. And I also thought I share some of my thoughts and I just thought like how [ __ ] difficult it was in older times when there was like trees in the way or if the way just broke off or so. It’s crazy. Today we expect like the way to be perfect to cycle like all the time 25 kilometers per hour and reach our goal fast. But in earlier times it was crazy to get from point A to point B here. That’s my thoughts part part one. Uh following more following soon to be caught no okay after it’s clean again. And what I really enjoy on the tour is like um the slow change of landscapes. Like I start in the not in the mountains, but I can see the Alps from the place where I started and now it feels very Mediterranean already. Even though I’m not so much in the south, it’s like way more dry spots. You can see more yellowish grasses. That’s very nice. The last two or uh 3 days I only cycled basically next to the canal except I went to the supermarket or to the one Airbnb digger digger. Okay, I got stuck in the tree a bit cuz I was too lazy to get off. Oh, [ __ ] Hope I’m not taking tree with me. Even more tree. Refueled on cold drinks. Now, let’s continue. Okay, it’s I don’t [ __ ] know. I have to check. It’s 20 48. I’m now at the camping spot. It’s the best camping spot I had so far, I think. It’s this amazing viewpoint. Public property there will set up my tent. It’s a bit wind. No one can see it. And I have this perfect view. It is amazing. And today I did like 20 km less than the daily goal because now it’s getting soon dark already. and I had to check out at 11. So that’s why also here. But now I will chill and then set up the tent. Okay, I woke up. It’s 8:00 in the morning. I’m going to pack everything and then I’m going to leave on the road. It’s like 9:20 or so or 910. Still a bit cold, but not too cold. And also not too warm. But it seems like we left the canal finally for the better, for the countryside. It’s now like 12 or 1. It’s fully hot, but I still go. But I don’t push so hard. I go very very chill. But meters are meters. And now we go all the time like little hills up and down. So up I go very slow and down I go very fast. But I like it. It’s not so bad. It’s beautiful. I mean, not like the mountains, but it will change again for sure. I’m hyped for the Pyrenees. Oops. I thought I was not filming. Sorry. like the forest feels already very different to the forest uh I know from my home. So that’s very nice. It is 2045. I found my camp spot. It’s like just some field hidden by all the roads. just little forest behind the trees or some houses. But here I’m not visible and there are no roads only like a field way. So that will be fine I think if I leave very early tomorrow. Okay, the tent is set up. I will put the stuff in my backpacks for the night and I’m cooking right now. And after that I will go to sleep and tomorrow I stay in an Airbnb again to chill a bit and shower. Yeah. I just woke up. Now I’m drying the stuff. It’s should be nearly dry already from the condensation. Yeah. Then I can pack it up and go already because we have 15 before 8. Not late but also not early. And I mean I slept good but I feel it in the eyes always when I sleep outside also that I get a bit swollen after but it’s fine because of the Airbnb time. Everything is packed again. I’m leaving now. Here the trash holder bars very practical. You can just stuff like those plastic thingies in and they just stay perfectly there. And there you can see the holes which I couldn’t saw from behind there which is very good. And there’s the entrance to the field and exit. Perfect. In the morning, it’s an interesting mix of when I go in the shadow, I freeze. And when I’m going in the sun, I’m sweating already. But better than to sweat all the time. Good combination. Now we’re looking for this cargo fur supermarket to do a refiller of drinks and food and everything we want. Ah, skate park isn’t the air cub. They have at least here we go. 10:30. I’m doing a little break the 25 kilometers. And now I need some shadow and breakfast also. Wow. on the spot looks really beautiful. It’s again like some way to some private uh forest I think. But it is very beautiful. It is like 10 and super hot already and I’m pushing up this not so steep but long hill. But I go very slow in the lowest gear. So I go as chill as possible. But I’m still sweating so much because the sun is burning. I’m so slow. I don’t feel so much wind. Slowly but surely, we are getting closer to the destination. But I have to say going up and down hills all the time is like way more um enjoyable than going in the flat land with fully headwind. Like there’s nothing worse than that. and you push like you go 25 kilometers per hour or 30 and then the end you go like 10 or five. And here if you push yourself like you go 25 and but you’re going 5 kilometers per hour then you’re working for it. Damn. It’s a goat. Okay. Nice. First time on a bike lane again since uh like two days. Very nice. It’s a good one. Okay, I’m here since 5 minutes trying to find the way. I went like in all the directions. The way it says is here, but that’s literally the farm. I don’t know. Let’s check again. I found the way. I feel way more watering. God, all the thorns here. Hope I don’t have a flat after this. Thank you, Kum. Thank you for sending me through this gate. I mean, I will cross it for sure. I will not go back. [ __ ] it. Okay, I unlocked the gate. Locked again. And we continue. Uh But it’s not so bad here. Okay, I did now 108 kilometers and down there is the town where I will buy ice cream and drinks because food I have already for the Airbnb. I have to go 5 kilometers further and then I’m at the Airbnb. So, from now it should be pretty chill. I arrived. Now I’m going to take a shower and eat and chill. It is 8:00 in the morning. I slept pretty okay. I’m going to have some breakfast and then I will continue very soon because it’s Sunday and the supermarkets close all at 12:30. So I will have to buy some food before that. But I still have baguette here for the first meal of the day. It’s 11. Everything is packed. I repaired the tape here in the top of it. And now we leave. Today is around 130 km and the destination is on Isa Lake. I already checked it. Yeah, it is so hot and sweating so crazy. The grips of my bike. I also fully warm, but I have a bit of back wind, which usually is nice, but now I go at the same speed of the wind means I feel zero wind means I only feel the heat. 51 kilometers. I’m sweating so much. So, I go in the little forest, chill a bit in the shadow, drink something, relax, and then continue. We continue. I checked in 30 kilometers. There is a open grocery store even though it’s Sunday because it’s a little bigger city and yeah I will get some drinks there and then it’s only 50 kilometers until the lake where I will sleep today. I’m also recording all the things that don’t work and currently my Garmin is not finding the GPS which is pretty weird because I’m in this very marriage. I was just cycling here on this way and then I found this That’s like a bike chain, but this my fist compared to it. Nice. Super cool to find those things. I made it to the supermarket. Now I’m refilled, restocked, and I’m on my way to the lake. Still in the city though. But soon I’m in the nature again. Outside of the city again on the good road with a little bit of back wind. Feel it. Perfect. Okay, we did 100 kilometers and now I’m in the forest. Making a little break to cool down a bit. Still 30 something degrees. We are in the wine area again in at the lake of Constant. It was also the wine area but the wine area of Germany. And here the wine area of France. Nice. full speed through the vineyards. It’s also not so hot anymore. I’m making another break now because it’s only 8 kilometers to go and I’m in this super nice spot which looks like a little tunnel made from trees. So, I have to check quickly here and then continue to the lake. We’re close to the camping spot already. Let’s see those legs. I’m now on top of the hill, but I will go to this spot there because that was flat and good spot for the tent. Beautiful sunset we have today. Here’s my stuff. Here is the tent. I only set up the mosquito thingy because it will not rain today. It’s already 10 before 8. Uh, I already unbuild the tent. Now I’m packing all the stuff and then I will continue because check in today is from 2 onwards. Means if I’m there early I can chill very long in the flat and shower and put my feet up and put all the volal in and bantine and the creams and so I can recover and then push the last day and then push the last days also without making a full day of break. That would be good because then I would be 2 days earlier at the destination. And now look at this spot. Like [ __ ] insane. The tent is already under. It’s 10 before 8 and I’m packing the bike bags and then I go. Everything is packed. I’m ready to go. Spot is clean, of course. by on our way to Bond. You mad dogs. So nice this forest here. But the way is not so good. It’s very bumpy because of the roots of the trees. Boy, I’m in the park. The smell so disgusting. W and not for a short period. Oh, boy. My god, it smells like there’s huge barriage of wine that’s gross summers. And I go past this for a kilometer. I can now it’s a bit better. Wa. [ __ ] That was really disgusting. I never smelled anything like that. And I hope I will not smell anything like that again. 50 kilometers done. Somewhere in the forest again doing a little break because it’s super hot and we only have 30 something kilometers to go. Anyway, it’s 25 kilometers left until the Airbnb in Bor. Wow, this road is [ __ ] But I will do it in like two hours to make another break somewhere and then I’m there. We are very shortly before Bordeaux. We are in now on the way to the Airbnb. Yes, sir. I arrived in the flat. Perfect because I can go straight with the bike to the street as you can see. Yeah. But now I got food and then I chill and recover a bit and bring the cold over the double portion. It is now 8 in the evening and I’m Whoa. I’m going to go for a little bike ride through the city to see it a bit actually because today I didn’t see much. I only went to Decatlan to get some uh chain cleaning and greasing pro product. And now I will actually check the city. I’m hyped. We have 10:32. I already nearly packed everything. And then we’re gonna leave to the beach today. So today’s mission is 133 kilometers and we will make it because the destination is the [ __ ] beach and I cycled since so long and I didn’t see the sea yet. So I’m very hyped. I never cycled from my hometown to the [ __ ] sea because I’m in Bavaria and it usually takes a long time. So I’m very hyped now. Today breakfast on the bike. I’m going now on this perfect road in the middle of the nature. No car in front of me for the next 2 km. Yeah. Okay. There’s a car coming from behind, but still very unccrowded road. Very nice. And already did 65 km. Perfect. Okay. a super sketchy situation. Like just 2 minutes ago, uh a car from behind comes. I’m going like perfect on the side where I’m going now. And then while the car is next to me, another car overtakes this car on the left of the car. And then the other car was forced to go super close next to me. And I remember the car and I hope it waits over there because if the I did another break and now it’s like 30 kilometers left until the beach. It’s not the beach yet. That is like the French a French missile area. It’s by the fence. Okay, it’s like 2 km left and yeah, it looks super nice. Everything and the waves are still perfect. Yeah, but I’m so excited to run into the water because it’s so warm and I still have cool drinks and enough water, pasta, so I’m equipped for the next day. Hallelujah. Okay, I can already see the ocean at the right on the watch. Yeah. So, over there it is very soon. I want to follow one when I’m closer. Push a little bit and soon I am. The time has come. I have to push because it’s fully sand here. But that means soon is the beach. I’m in the dunes. So difficult to push the bike cuz they’re heavy. It’s [ __ ] unreal. I cycle from the barrier to here. You kidding me? Can’t believe it. This beast. And now I want to see. Okay, I lock the bike. I leave it here. And now I’m going to see the dunes at the sea. I mean yo, there it is. The ocean. No way. Still can’t really believe it that I’m here. [ __ ] insane. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Yes. It is now 9 in the evening. I’m going to check for a camping spot for the tent because the weather I’m not sure if it’s going to rain or not. Amazing. I don’t want to go in. Maybe I found a spot here, but I’m not sure yet. This could also be a very good spot. Okay, more windy, but I have the view and view and so much in the forest and muses also. So, and this is also way closer. H I decided to go with the last spot because the closest one I don’t have to carry my bike so far. I decided to go multiple times. So I watch anyway. Very small down there. Should be my bicycle. And here the dunes with my backpack at the sunset and rainy clouds in 1 minute as the sunset supposed to be, but I think it’s not going to be that spectacular. Anyway, I’m going to eat my pasta soon instead of the pan and then go to sleep and tomorrow is going to be an epic day for sure. Okay, now we are going back to the bike. Okay, that was fun. Up it goes. Way more difficult. Now all the stuff is at the campsite and set the tent up and then have a sleep. A good one. And pasta also. Yeah. I set up now. The tent was not so easy this time because the wind is pretty strong. But I managed and now I have this temp at the six spot ball. It is now 9:30. Everything is packed and on the bike again. Spot is clean. And I’m going to leave now cuz the weather looks like [ __ ] But I have to go in that direction. That is looking way better. Now comes the annoying part to get out of this sandy area. Boy, it is really very difficult to push the bike. We are 25 kilometers in the daily route. Uh the cycle length has been perfect. I will not make the full distance today because it will be 190 kilometers with over 2,000 hike mters. But we will just find a spot 8 or 9 and then chill and then tomorrow I’m in Spain. Yeah. Yeah. Heat. It just starts to rain. So I will look for a little spot to wait it out cuz I checked rain and it says it’s just a little rain that’s going to move over. Perfect way lunch after 70 kilometers of the dunes at the right. Maybe we see the sea soon again. 80 km and I’m going to do a little break, drink a cold drink that I got and just chill a little bit but not too long. I did now 105 km. I’m seeing the mountains already very far and we will see how far I get. Okay, the screen of the camera just broke. I can’t show you, but luckily it’s not the lens. The microphone is not [ __ ] So, yeah. Let’s see how long the car camera lasts. Okay, you can see the mountains very good already. The Pyrenees. We have to do 2,000 height meters in total today. We will see it. Let’s go. Wow. First dog that was barking at me. I was driving by and he came out and started but I was like and then he was chill. Bro, what the [ __ ] is happening? I didn’t do this on purpose. The brows get lost. No. Okay, it’s now around 20 minutes before sunset. I have to go still 5 kilometers. And I have booked a hostel because it was waged. It was like €30 and the normal thing it was like €100 something. So I went for the hostel and then tomorrow we will enter Spain and go to Pmplona and I will get new cycling glasses because I lost mine. Ah happens. I hope I don’t lose him again then. 8:40 in the morning. I’m leaving now into [ __ ] Spain. Next stop is a [ __ ] little so I can buy some food for the day because later in the Pyrenees there will be not so many supermarkets I guess. And there is the blue L on the yellow sun a symbol for uh F. It looks crazy. I have to be careful not to drop the camera again. I don’t care. Looks crazy, especially down there. The little river fully overgrown, very natury. Oh, when 13 km, they found this little hut for bicycles. Super nice. You have a little table here, roof, the mat, and then you also have like tools for the bicycle here. That is very nice indeed. Now we have 10 km until the border of Spain, but 700 height m. So I will change the fuse and go for a chill hike and bike. I have changed and I’m actually freezing, but I’m sure that will change very quick. Yeah, that changed pretty quick. I’m sweating again. That’s so beautiful. And it was very worth it to change the shoes cuz like I guess I can walk up every trail and not like there’s no shoes. I’m sliding all the time because of the cleats. It is so wet here. Like it’s not raining but I’m straight in the cloud basically and I can feel the water on my skin which is very nice when I have to walk up this hill. But I think I found my pace now. And I just go slow up the steep parts and the flat parts. I just cycle very slow. I’m now fully in the clouds, but still over 5 kilometers to go. Not even half. Nearly at the fully top now. Looks so nice. Okay, I think um we’re at the top. It’s way warmer here, but still super cloudy and foggy. And my cycling pants is also super wet. Like I went swimming with this, but I didn’t see the sign for the board. I guess 1,33 hike m. I’m in Spain. Over there is the border stone. And now I have the helmet and I go down and make a break then because here in the clouds I will not do it for sure. Okay, I’m in the first Spanish village and here’s the bike way apparently. We will see as soon as I’m in Spain. The weather is warm and good and blue sky. Perfect. So never make the first break also. Uh there was no shadow spot. So, I’m going to continue and then do a break when I find the shadows. But after that, Pamplona. There we go. I arrived in Pmplona. I’m going to go now to Dealon, get new cycling glasses because I lost nine and then get some food and drinks and maybe ice cream. Everything packed. I’m leaving now. Yeah, the camera dropped a second time. fully on the street. Okay, I have to put it somewhere. Look, just had it in there. First flat tire on the bike even after 3,000 something kilometers. [ __ ] And I’m here in the middle of the road as no, but I’m going to move to a spot and change the tire quick. Well, since there’s no shadow spot, I have to do it in this [ __ ] field next to a road. Just test my nerve. The patch is on. Let’s see if it holds also. Let’s hope so. Yeah, perfect. Let’s see how long it lasts. [ __ ] [ __ ] Thank you Kote for this great cycle way you provided me with through the bars. It’s such an experience. 1730. It’s still over 30°. I’m doing a little pasta break. And yeah, I will continue in a bit. I’m going to stay now next to some church because here some shadow. Yes, finally the heat is not killing me anymore. There are some shadows out there. I did 65 km now. I think I will not make it the goal that I set myself today. But that doesn’t matter. I will just sleep somewhere else. Pretty amazing everywhere here. arrive at the spot today. I only did 73 km, but it was so hot and I started so late and I have a flat tire and all the excuses. But it will work pretty good. I have a good view. I just finished packing everything up. It was raining pretty heavily in the night as you can see here. Even a thunderstorm and lightning and stuff, but the tent was kept me dry. Not the bike though. And yeah, now it’s A12 and I will continue. This is the by the way the official European VO 3 in Spain. Yeah. After 25 kilometers here in Laguano Loa. Going to have some breakfast and then continue before it gets too hot. It is 5. I finished my fiesta. Still over 30°, but I have to still do 60 kilometers. Take it. Come here. Come here. Now I’m basically on the highway. Like the highway is straight there, but it’s a parallel street, which is not the highway. And I’m so glad finally to have good surface and not super big stones all the time. Yes, but it’s so warm the whole day. So only this 80 kilometers now. But I still have a bit. We are in Castillia. Is 10 after 10. I did 95 kilometers today and I found the spot now where I set up the tent in the field. Down there’s the route going. You can’t see it. Oh yeah, maybe the little car over there. And tomorrow I continue in that direction to Burgos. And now I will sleep good and hope there’s no thunderstorm. And now I’m drying the sleeping bag a bit because it got a bit wet yesterday. But yes, perfect. The mood is good because I discovered that I can go on the main street, not the highway, but on the main street. And then it’s way more chill. It is now around 9:00 in the morning. Today it’s not going to be so warm and I already build down everything. Now only my phone and the rod light is left and then uh I pack my backpack and leave to the road down there. I wish I could use the height meters that I gained yesterday when I went to the camping spot, but no, I have to probably push down also because the way is super bad and steep. Well, at least I don’t have to push up now, but I will come for sure also. Okay, it is 9 in the morning. We are on the road again. On a good road also. And now I will just try to make kilometers until the temperature gets uncomfortable again because now it’s 16°. I’m wearing my wind jacket and with that it’s perfect right now. Let’s see how long it stays like this. We are entering burgers for the moment. only the industrial part here and again but at least the roads are roads are perfect I can go very chill my good speed and that’s very important if I want to do a lot of kilometers and I’m already a bit [ __ ] of because in the last 16 days there’s no break but it’s still very fine like I don’t have muscle pain or anything I just feel the lack of energy and that we don’t only see industrial stuff I found this gate here but it’s something special looks like Today is perfect roads, perfect wind. We already did 176 km. It’s like 8:30 or so. Now the good time begins with the not so much sun anymore. Today was also perfect in terms of temperature. So nothing to complain about. Well, I got my second flat. annoying, but I still have the stuff to change it. I will do it. It’s the next possibility. I was so in the flow 179 kilometers and now this happens. I I just lost one of my shoes. What the [ __ ] And I don’t see it anywhere near. So I guess it’s somewhere far away. Oh, they don’t know. [ __ ] That’s annoying. Really? Now the flat is fixed at least and I can continue. But I literally didn’t roll it even 10 m and I have another flat. And now time it’s the front wheel. Okay. I just wanted to put in my replacement tube uh for the front tire um because I checked it and I couldn’t find the hole there and it’s losing air. And I checked the wheel and there’s nothing in there. And then I try to put it through. And this hole doesn’t fit on this part. So it’s fully useless. I cannot use it. And soon as sunset, I’m here. And I have to pack everything somehow. Find a spot. Get a I don’t know. I have no idea. pretty annoyed right now that I have to push because very soon I just pumped the front tire up. I didn’t find anything. I didn’t fix anything, but I checked tomorrow. I pump it up until Leon and then I get a another tube. The sun is setting, so I need a sleep spot. I think I found the area where I’m going to sleep tonight. I’m going to check go a little bit further because the street is directly there. And then if I find a spot for the tent, I use the tent. If not, I use the hammock. This is my sleep for the night. Like I said, I went a bit further and then just set up the mosquito net map because today will be clear sky and then pump the tire up tomorrow again. Change it in Leon and then see how far I get again. It is 8:00. I stand up. I’m going to unbeliev the stuff now. I just checked. My front tire is fully flat. Super annoying. I tried to find the hole. I couldn’t find it yesterday. So, I’m just going to pump it up, go to Leon, and change it in the decadon. Everything is unbuilt. I pumped the front wheel up. Let’s see how long it lasts. And if I get like five more flats to Lean. I did now 32 km. I pumped up the front wheel one time again. But now it’s like 40 km until then I can change the tubes, maybe the tires. And the roads are also still good and I can go on the pace that I want. Now I am on the actual highway on the A60 where on the right is the N and N street. I can drive 4 kilometers left. Pretty [ __ ] already. But I already did 62 km and in the honorable I grew a break. I’m now at day long. I got the spare tube and I changed the front tire and now I continue north. We did 80, no around 60 kilometers yet. We’re going to do around 80 to 90 and we have to continue in that direction where the wind is coming from. So from now on it will be a fight against the wind. But I’m excited for the mountains that will come after after every uphill with headwind comes the downhill effect. This one has not much headwind. It looks so beautiful. I made it to my camping spot and it looks very nice. It’s going to be very epic this one because I’m going to put the pants here. This crazy view. The tent is set up in this amazing location. It’s going to be crazy to wake up tomorrow to this view. Yes, I’m pretty [ __ ] up for today with all the headwind, but in the end, we made it to this spot, so it was definitely a good day. Okay, everything is unbuilt now. I’m continuing now on the way and I will arrive very soon, I think. Slept pretty good actually. Um, but it was the coldest night, that’s for sure. Oh yes. Changes very often from cold in the shadow and downhill to super warm and I go up the hill in the middle of the sun. But I will just go in a slow good pace and then I will make it without too much stress also here. I will enjoy it. And how could I not enjoy this? It’s [ __ ] amazing. We made it to Auruas and now it’s downhill for a bit until there are two mini hills left and then we are in a already. Let’s go. I just got another flight. the fourth or fifth one in Spain and 500 km after 1,500 km. But yeah, the change is quick. This is a good example for bike lanes in Spain. The last 5 kilometers start now. I arrived 87 kilometers today, but I arrived at the final spot at Oh, I organized those two bike boxes for because I take the airplane tomorrow. I need Yeah, I need to pack it somehow. And I don’t have any bike bag. So, I got for €20 those boxes and I going to try to fit the bike in there. Now, everything fitted in one box, which is perfect. And yeah, now I’m just going to press my gloves and everything between the parts so nothing is broken and I don’t have to carry it. And then I’m already finished. The bike is packed in this box. Let’s see if it works.
