I definitely consider Belgium for my bikepacking trip next year.
Great notification, great video. I've missed watching your videos!
This is what cycling should be about… Loved the morning images. Great breakaway also 🙂 For the rest; love the graphics, editing AND music. Keep 'em coming!
Another great video, quality as always. You are definitely doing great job of showcasing Belgium.
Ah, now you're really talking my language, friend. I've done many an overnighter with a good pal, and they're often just the micro-adventure tonic you need in an otherwise hectic life. If you can find someone willing to carry all the gear, so much the better! That's an excellent life-hack right there. 🙂
But seriously, if it's something you think you'd like to get into, then gradually start investing in a quality sleep setup (a good sleeping pad/mattress and down sleeping bag (or quilt)… and a pillow!). That's key to enjoyment. I've been lusting after one of the several excellent lightweight solo bikepacking tents, but they're very expensive, and I don't do it enough to make it worthwhile, so I just use our double backpacking tent. On the other hand, lots of people say just use what you have. And they're not wrong. You'll figure it out as you go along.
You have so many great options for bikepacking trips in your area. Have you ever ridden south along the Meuse/Maas? One of our best ever trips included the stretch from Namur to Verdun. So beautiful, but probably that would mean more than an overnighter for you.
As usual, a really lovely video that makes me long to ride in Beligum again, even though I was just there! 🙂 Cheers!
Immer de heimat! Nice video mister, we enjoyed the scènes, the songs, the adventure. Epic deal to provide the route. Keep it turning pie!
Gezellig. Bent u een Leuvenaar? Waar was dat pantservoertuig op ongeveer 5 min?
Wijze video !! De route beschikbaar als gpx aub ?
В то время как опали листья, и с каждым днем становится холоднее, очень радостно смотреть это видео и опять ждать нового сезона. Очень красивые места! Спасибо!
What a great video. Beautiful countryside. Wonderful shot. Excellent editing. Thanks for sharing.
Nice trip! You are lucky that your friend wanted to be the mule, haha. How many KMs did you do the first day?
Really enjoying this video! I've had to stop as the music is best enjoyed loud and I'm in work 😂. I'll carry on watching on my break in a minute.
The filming is excellent. Amazing colours. Can I ask where you look for your music? I use Lickd and Epidemic Sounds but would love to know where your selection came from.
I will get tips from your filming for my own videos as you've got a really good formula.

Did your friend test all of his stuff or why are you packed this unbalanced? Or perhaps just different philosophies of bikepacking? 😀
Thank you for the fine Video!
