I’m not even a huge cycler, but have recently found out about you and right now I’m now in the state of bingewatching every single video that there is in the youtube world haha Love your grit, dedication shown towards bikepacking and most importantly, your sense of humour! Intelligence just sparks thru out. Sending love from South Korea ❤

Hi Sofiane, I am thrilled every time I watch a new video recorded by you! I found your channel this week for the first time and I am so glad I can now follow your epic gravel adventures and races! You are contributing so much inspiration and more motivation to bring me out on the gravel and single tracks here in Sweden where I live now! Wishing you all the best and stay safe and richly blessed every new day! Much love from me and from Sweden! 💯❤👍👍👍

Au début, on a l'impression que tu n'es pas vraiment convaincu par l'idée de faire une vidéo et que tu ne sais pas trop ce que tu va bien pouvoir raconter. Puis, vers les 5 minutes de vidéo, on sent que tu as décidé d'être simplement toi-même, ou comme tu le dis si bien : "balec c'est ma vidéo j'fais ce que j'veux" ! Et là, ça devient génial ! J'ai adoré, merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo.

Next time you go to Colombia to ride ...Go to Mocoa and do the Trampolin de la Muerta to Pasto...it is far more scenic than the roads you did more remote and takes you out of the Amazon basin into the Andes over 75km of mostly climb...it is worth a go! I did it fully loaded touring long before Bike packing existed so it should be a fun trip for you !

@@sofianeshl Thank you sir. I wish you continued success with your bike adventures. I walked across france from Cherbourg to Assisi, now Im back I am starting to get into bike packing as there is no weight on my shoulders which are now jacked from carrying a rucksack so long. It has been a great inspiration to find your videos. Im stoked you replied. two weeks ago I made a personal tour to the forest where Alice in Wonderland was written, about 6 days in hugh forest full of wild horses,cows and donkeys all over the place. Its called New Forest in Uk if you want to check it out or hit me up if your in the UK.
