This was wonderful. It brought me back to May, 2019 when I cycled 1,000 kilometers solo (I was 65) from Seville, Spain to Santiago de Compostella, Spain (the Via de la Plata). It had its many challenging moments with both heat and cold, tears and joy, and the over all feeling of experiencing simply peace. It is always a journey of mind over matter. We can always go farther or conquer that next mountain. Thank you for this video. I thoroughly enjoyed your journey. (You will cycle again, I am certain!)

I enjoyed this story so much because I toured by bike across the US almost 30 years ago without navigation, only paper maps. My companion was a pretty young girl just like you… we had the time of our lives up to that point. We experienced all you presented in this video and loved every minute of the journey. Thanks for sharing 🙂 I do hope you got back on the bike. I have not stopped riding since our tour… and never will, age 63.

[@m97120]

This reminds me of my first bike tour in 2010 where I rode across Switzerland, France, and Spain. I didn't have a smartphone back then so I also used paper maps that I had to acquire along the way. Because I didn't have social media and Internet to entertain myself, I spent my evenings studying a Spanish dictionary and tried out the new words the next day. 100km per day is actually quite ambitious with a loaded bike. Especially if it's your first trip and you have to take time to navigate too (and film everything!). Congrats on that! Regarding 20:00 , there will be days when you're down and days that are some of the best days in your life. It's just how it works. Usually, when a situation sucks, it'll get better eventually. It's a good thing to keep that in mind. And now you can apply all the things you've learned on this tour on the next one :D

[@Xwrt532]

WOW! I don't have the words to fully articulate the magnitude of your accomplishment but all i can say is, THANK YOU for taking us along on this great ride.

I cycled in Germany 14 years ago, using paper maps. Asking for directions the first time, the lady said: "Why don't you have GPS?", and walked off. I think I'll go to Poland next time.

[@koiphish333]

I cycled in Germany from Kiel to Amsterdam in 2001... 23 yrs ago! I was so impresses that there were "bike maps" and "bike signals". As an American I was also amazed how car drivers actually watch for you instead of running over you. I had a GPS ... but never used it much for navigation and more just to measure distance and look for places of interest. It had no "destinations/directions" like smart phones unless you "backtracked". I was once an endurance biker riding 300K w/ 5000M elevation climbs ... only to realize you can actually travel and meet people and camp on a bike. I always feel a real traveler or bike tour is about what you see and who you meet. Making everything a race and missing most of the fun is not my goal anymore. I think the traffic risk is the main way to choose a bike route today ... so you can live for another ride!

You're probably young enough to be my granddaughter, but I watched this because you did it without Google Maps. (And also because I want to do some touring in Poland, though would stay further north than you did.) Twenty-five years ago I used to talk to a lot more people along the way to ask about roads, local history, etc. Now I don't talk to people so much, because I have Google Maps, a route programmed into my bicycle computer, and do a lot of history research ahead of time. So I have fewer questions to ask. I miss those older ways and think it's great that you did it the way you did. You may inspire me to try something like that again. I'd have trouble doing it in Poland, though. I recognized a few words from your conversations, but wouldn't be able to follow difficult directions. As for your wet shoes, those can be a real problem as wet socks can chafe your feet, and then you'll really have problems. One technique I and others have used is to put on dry socks, then plastic bread bags over the socks, and then the shoes. It still is troublesome because your feet will sweat inside the bread bags if you do it for a long period, but it can help if you don't push too hard. That is quite an accomplishment to ride 60 miles a day in hilly country, without training, with a camping rig a bit heavier than mine, and regular street shoes without clips. Your grandfather definitely would have reason to be proud of you. I hope it isn't the end of your bicycle touring, no matter what you said at the end of your ride.

It is when you feel your legs can't push the pedals anymore that you learn that our true motors are the brain and the heart ,these are the real sources of energy and motivation to keep you moving, this process of pain and feeling miserable makes us affront our own mentallities and improve emotionally, you have two choices, you stop and surrender in the middle of nowhere only to later to feel bad because you failed, or you manage to rest a little, change your mood and continue with a big smile over the adversity.

When seeing you becoming frustrated on your journey. Something that I use, especially as a cognitive neuroscientist, is to redirect your brain. When you feel too frustrated and down, try not to focus on your destination, but rather take a moment to look where you are. Question what makes this location, region, different or special. Sometimes write these down in your notes. Take deep breaths and enjoy that moment. Also think of what you have done and keep yourself grounded in the moment by looking at things to keep positive, such as scenery, natural beauty, etc. Essentially whatever works. Congratulations you should be proud of yourself. Its a great feeling. Keep trekking girl ;)

Truly inspirational. My Dad was a cyclist and over the years of his youth, in segments, he rode every coastal path around Great Britain. I've never had that energy and drifted into laziness until a life-changing experience forced me off the sofa in November and now I cycle 15 miles every single day - sometimes more - in all weather and all through the winter. I've lost over 25Kg and although it's a bit of a lonely experience, I am absolutely addicted to cycling. I would love to try something more long distance but I think I'd prefer to go in the company of others - at least ANother.

The race is completely offroad in the mountain and with mountain bikes - a very tough race for a complete newbie like me. And the distance is 100km. So, I managed to finish and I was so happy! Since then, I have been riding mountain bike for 5 years already and it has become more than a hobby - maybe a passion. So, never say you won't ride bicycle again, you don't know what you are missing. :) I hope you are well now and do what you love. Cheers!

People just get fed up with long journey and they think about their destination cuz they just feel boring to sit down on one place for long time, but Eva you've just completed your task by cycling it's so hard for anyone you're really a champ. 👏👏

This is the most amazing video I have ever seen in my life. It felt as if I was there with you on that journey, it made me laugh, made me cry, made me feel grateful and alive. Thank you for putting this out in the world. Eva zu beck, you are one of a kind. I am smitten.

I rode my bike through Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy and part of North Africa back in the early 80s only using paper maps. I was only 17 at the time. You are amazing.

[@skydance8017]

Eva zu Beck, you are one dear and special soul, you're truly an amazing inspiration; continuing on in your grandfather's legacy in admirable fashion. I was deeply touched by his words which you had read, how precious! Much love and respect from your number one fan from Montana!

[@lucasfarias8011]

Awesome, Eva. I'm doing the same in Brazil, cycling and respecting the distances. Doing what is available since hitchhiking is somehow out of reach for a backpacking right now with the pandemics. Good thing we stay in shape haha. Nice vid!

[@lavapix]

It's always mind over matter.

[@stanislavasalakirova5651]

Ah Eva, it is just never too late to watch these older videos ❤

A true traveller requires character as the real lover is a real human being closest as possible to God bless you

[@Dosmildos02]

That was such a great achievement. Your grandpa is so proud of you! Your sub from the Philippines. 😀

[@allieseesworld]

"The bag is so heavy! But there's nothing here but essentials." Me everyday when I was hiking the AT haha. Love your videos and you!!

[@thek3743]

Absolutely, optimize your gear "ultra light" style and save a lot of weight. makes it much more enjoyable.

[@narayanapattipati3599]

Amazing tribute to your grand father! It is really inspiring how you did that without prior training. Kudos! You are an inspiration to many travellers. And awesome locations and Poland is so beautiful. Thank you and keep traveling and posting your experience.

[@saifmusa4830]

16:12 One day, I hope to loose all my rush too. That’s the aim!!! Thanks Eva for making us part of your beautiful journey.

[@nearshovie]

You're really a strong person. And this video really motivates me. Now whenever im about to give up, i will rewatch this video of yours.

[@MrParacristo]

You just became one of my heroes! I am a long distance cyclist and I have 2 things that I tell everyone about what I do... 1. Pain is beauty. (It reveals what we are truly made from). 2. The strongest and weakest muscle in the body is located between our ears. (This is the defining factor of what we need to complete any goal that we set before ourselves). Small word of love and support, get a better bike, prepare for the next ride better, and remember our rides never get easier we just got faster and longer (Eddy Merckx)

[@tosiakluszewska7357]

My gosh, your grandfather’s chronicles are such a treasure to have. Keep them very safe and pass them on to generations!

[@yhencabigting5400]

Stay safe wherever you go, stay strong and positive, you're such a great and brave traveller indeed.

This is soooooo inspiring I would love to try something like this when I’m a bit older. But unfortunately as a girl in the US I find it scary to go to new places alone.

[@Rudra71124]

Your fitness ,physical and mental, is amazing, my friend. You are so inspiring!!🙂

[@Annabird77]

I so enjoy watching your vlog. It is inspiring and I feel like I am traveling with you in heart. I feel the highs and the lows, knowing it is all part of life. For some reason, seeing the difficulties of camping makes everything I am doing at home seem so easy!

[@fistsup5700]

Wow. That was an amazing adventure. And flying your drone while on the bike...I can barely fly mine standing on two feet. Great story.

[@rose191991]
