[@chriskalberg6356]

Wow...crazy miles. Well done!

[@piaribes936]

Thank you! I’ve enjoyed your video very much. I’m planning to cross Spain from Barcelona to Santiago in September hopefully won’t be too cold.

[@CeriMiddleton]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching 👍🏽 Sounds like an awesome trip planned, good luck!

Pretty cool man. Solitude on a bike is beautiful. It fuels my soul like nothing else.

[@CeriMiddleton]

So true!

[@MatHall]

Brilliant film Ceri. You certainly hammer out the miles!!! I really want to ride Spain one day. Even more so now

[@CeriMiddleton]

Smooth roads and great weather helps! Was awesome though, such nice landscape to cycle through

[@BrownPeterAnthony]

Smashed out some big miles there with a smile, even on those cold mornings. Best of fortune on your future adventures..

[@RoadyPacking-CyclingAdventures]

Hey Ceri, really nice, it was a pleasure to watch! :D Especially for your first video it is amazing :D

[@CeriMiddleton]

Hey mate, thanks for watching it, glad you liked it! :)

[@wincyzhang1003]

Great riding experience

[@susanvannorden6845]

Grand video! Inspiring 😊

[@MikeJenicCycling]

Awesome video, I love cycling in Spain so much, can’t wait to get back out there!

[@CeriMiddleton]

Yes it is amazing to bikepack there, wonderful combination of good roads, landscape, food and weather! And of course friendly people 😀

[@MrShiffard]

Nicely shot Ceri!

[@CeriMiddleton]

Thanks Dave for your kind comment! 👍🏼

[@wilfwilliams]

Very nice , cranking in the km’s

[@CeriMiddleton]

Cheers Mark, good roads and weather both helped!

[@tonypaddler]

Well documented and good content, I enjoyed that 👍

[@CeriMiddleton]

Thanks so much Tony, glad you liked it! Stay safe 😀

[@johntaylor963]

Really cool film, looks epic. I've done some touring in France and loved the freedom of being on my own. Really inspirational, never thought of acquiring a bike box from a shop to transport my kit! Genius.

[@CeriMiddleton]

Thanks John, glad you liked it! Yes it's a good option if your start and finish in different places. I normally email before just so they can put on aside!

[@wincyzhang1003]

We are happy to provide you with glasses for riding

[@donnacampbell6967]

Went the opposite direction from Santander to Granada (Trevalez) epic.

[@CeriMiddleton]

Oh wow nice one! Sounds like it would have been a great ride...on road? 🤙🏼

[@donnacampbell6967]

@@CeriMiddleton It was my first long tour I have a cross bike which is now a tourer I have two v small rear panniers max weight incl bike is under 25Kg trying to get it under 20kg but frame is aluminium. Thinking of going back to a compact and maybe tubeless wheel set. I just love bike touring always messing with my kit.

[@GabePramukOutdoors]

This is fantastic! You should definitely do more! Subbed. Spain is so high on my list...

[@CeriMiddleton]

Glad you liked the video! Thanks so much, I put it off for ages but actually loved the making process! Yes I would highly recommend, it was such a nice place to ride.

[@pbspillane]

Ceri very inspiring. I have written down your route and will use it as a basic plan but it will be shorter days. Regards Pat

[@CeriMiddleton]

Thanks so much for the kind words! I'm glad you feel inspired, I hope you have a good trip when you manage to do it!

[@pawel8365]

An excellent video, I am going to do a section through Spain, starting early March - as expected, fewer tourists but a little chillier.

[@CeriMiddleton]

Thanks :) That's awesome!

[@kasparsarajs9742]

Good video!

[@CeriMiddleton]

Cheers Kaspars, glad you enjoyed it!

[@gravel1brevet2campinghocke27]

👍 멋지네요 제가 그렇게 다니는 팩킹을 원하지만 현실은 더 많은걸 준비해가야 하는게 단점이죠^^ 재미있게 보고갑니다 good luck👍

[@chacmool2581]

Bro, I am impressed by your stamina and determination in eating up so many miles each day. But i also can't help but think that there was something manic and rushed about the pace. You were going like a bat out of hell. Were you pressed for time?

[@Chilam.]

I was just thinking that. Like bro is getting through 100+ miles a day. Might have to do with work limitations

[@sminettsmith]

Hello, great video and adventure! Do you mind telling me what tyres you were using. I'm planning a road , light bike tour which looks similar to your trip (ideally all road) so wonder what you used ?

[@CeriMiddleton]

Cheers! They were 32mm tyres that came with the bike, felt a good balance between comfort and speed!

[@joaocipriano3952]

Because of your video I'm planning a adventure through Zamora, If someone's up tell me 😅🤙

[@CeriMiddleton]

Nice one, enjoy your trip, you'll love it! Thanks for watching 👍🏽

[@nagamachiku8699]

I’m agonising beyond compression as to how on Earth I could cycle out of Bilbao as quickly as possible-if not quicker. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Cheers ;^3

[@snufflingsnail]

Are you able to camp anywhere? How did you know where to camp?

[@chrissd08]

Great film! What did you use for maps, specifically how did you find the canal paths and such to avoid roads?

[@CeriMiddleton]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! I mostly used my Garmin and phone with Komoot on. I had planned it roughly before I went, and think the canal sections were part of the Santiago route. Hope this helps!

[@kayasper6081]

What a beautiful trip you made, and also an interesting and well edited video

[@CeriMiddleton]

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@martinjager2136]

Amazing ride. Do you have a list of gear used on this trip?

[@CeriMiddleton]

Thanks Martin. I've got a photo of the kit I took on this adventure over on my Instagram which might help. I'm planning a kit video very soon! instagram.com/p/BuJ63ZOn6N5/?

[@AnaBela1990]

wow, this is so inspirational, thank you for sharing! i was thinking in doing something similar, any recommendations on the bike you used and how you managed to bring it with you and then take it back home?

[@CeriMiddleton]

Thanks so much for the kind words 👍🏽 Go for it, you won't regret it! I used my Norco Search bike, which is a road/gravel bike sign 32mm tyres on. Something like that would probably work best so you could cycle on both roads and some of the gravel/off road sections. I flew from the UK, and at both ends I just went to a bike shop and asked for a spare cardboard bike box they were throwing away - works a treat and you can recycle it when you arrive at your destination!

[@AnaBela1990]

@@CeriMiddleton thank you! i cannot wait!:) cheers

[@coletrudo]

any idea what your bike weighed? great video

[@CeriMiddleton]

Glad you enjoyed it. Good question! I'm pretty sure I did weight it but can't remember if I'm honest. Maybe around 15kg, but that's just a guess!

[@nathan_g]

I really like the animated map. Pet peeve is when there are cool video but I don't know where they are.

[@CeriMiddleton]

Thanks Nathan! It did take quite a while to figure out how to make it, but thought it was important :) Next time I might try and make a map for each day as well.

[@Cottontowngal]

Nice video. How many hours did you cycle each day?

[@CeriMiddleton]

Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I cycled around 10-12 hours a day I think. As it was February the day's were still shorter, so it did include some riding in dusk, but not too much!

[@gonzzalo76]

What app do you use to plan the routes? And do you have the tracking registered? Saludos desde España!

[@jorgepintoromero1840]

what size are your wheels?

[@daveadriffield7296]

Why do travel vloggers use the same old worn out camera trick, going ahead, riding past the camera and then hwving to go back for it? It got old really quick. It's so distracting and fooling no one.

[@CeriMiddleton]

Personally, I feel it gives another angle and perspective, as well as a different type of shot. I try to incorporate a range of angles, rather than just sticking to one. But thanks for you feedback, always happy to hear what people think!

[@pawlikowski-net]

thanks. that looks nice.
