My girlfriend and I completed our first bikepacking adventure in the pyrenees together last summer. We cycled around 700km from Biarritz to Le Racou (atlantic ocean to the mediterreanean). It was an amazing trip on easy roads. The route mostly followed the famous Tour de France passes and I think it’s beginner friendly (komoot link down below). After 7+ years of bikepacking (mostly on solo trips) I felt motivated to create a little video about the trip.
When I did those trips alone, I didn‘t feel motivated enough to capture myself, but now I had my girlfriend to follow with my camera. 😀 At some point after a week into the trip I had to slow down myself, because I felt so overwhelmed that I‘m finally able to combine my two hobbies – bikepacking and filming.
I finished the video in September but didn‘t feel comfortable posting it (because it‘s just out of my comfort zone). But now it‘s a new year and I decided to post it & it feels really good.
So if you want to check out the 18min video, feel free. It‘s a „silent“ bikepacking video with some parts in german & with english subtitles. I would love to get some honest feedback 🙂 Please don‘t be too harsh about the video quality, I filmed the trip on a 12 year old camera (I‘m still a student and camera+bike gear is crazy expensive).
