You were so blessed to see all these beautiful places!
Great camera work and narration, thank you Bram!
Fantastic adventure.
Thank you for this fantastic series!
Those Vittoria Mezcals love to puncture I see.. and I just bought a pair 😀
Thanks, quiet a journey!
I’m planning to ride the EDT next year so I’m watching and learning. Surprising how often you encounter closed roads, bridges, tunnels, campsites. That can be frustrating, especially at the end of the day.
Another challenging, but rewarding section. This route has definitely taken its toll on your bicycle. I am glad the good food and views are making up for the challenges
Thank you very much, it's quite a journey and hopefully I'll be on the EDT next year. But one thing I just don't get it. Why don't you use tubeless tyres?
Another nice episode. I wonder whether, in addition to a few flat tires and technical problems, there are also really problematic situations when you cruise through Europe mostly off-road for over 7000 km 😅
Thanks for 'Central Termica de Aliaga' @14:22. I saw the place some time ago in a YouTube channel about Lost places 😊
There is an interesting hiking trail running along a river nearby.
Great stuff again 🫶
i want to try bikepacking, probably gonna start small with chicago to nearby cities
ik volg jullie avontuur super
Loving the Journey
What an adventure and fantastic camera work. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us all.
What an adventure!
Hi! I also happen to use vittoria mezcals, did you start the edt with the new tyres or used ones? I was thinking if those tyres could be used for 7600km? Btw using tubeless because i dont want to change tubes all the time 😂
Another great video. Do you have a map, strava or link to the route? Sorry if I missed it somewhere.
