DEFINITELY OUR HARDEST GRAVEL BIKEPACKING TRIP SO FAR...

We spent two days getting lost in the Swiss Jura, if someone had told us how friggin steep everything here is maybe we wouldve stayed in the Netherlands instead ;)

Coming late to the table. Now I'm scrolling through the episodes. A special thumbs up for Jelmer. The saying: "doe maar gewoon, dan doe je gek genoeg", doesn't do the job on a gravel bike or mountain ride. Looking forward to the next teamrides. Because after all (the beers) the team makes it work perfectly. Plof.

It’s Saturday morning on the south coast of England and I’m supposed to be riding a 102 mile sportive today. However, it’s raining heavily and gusting up to 60mph so I’m in my conservatory with a coffee and a Fernwee bikepacking vid. It’s not riding but it’s nearly as good.

[@DanChristensen69]

You are so cool all fire 😎

[@mollmarketingmedia2591]

Early birds............... a new video on Saturday morning at 8 o clock, that’s dedication 💪🏻 I’m sitting here enjoying my morning coffee plop notification Fernwee in the house. I can’t imagine a better way too start the weekend.😁✌🏻 have a nice weekend guys and keep those legs spinning

[@ciaranhickey5904]

Lovely watch in Ireland on a cold wet Saturday morning...keep them coming

[@bikewatcher5428]

Well done gang👍 really like the longer format👍all of you happy as ever👏

[@jasperke2411]

Your content is as good as it gets but this one sticks out. Amazing (drone)shots, beautiful area. So relaxing to watch 😊 Tnx Fernwee!

[@shanew634]

Switzerland is a lovely country and expensive to dine out, hustling for your lunch deal hopefully paid off. Thanks for another enjoyable well produced video.👍

[@alastairlamb8142]

Moin, matches are for amateurs, a tip from an old soldier, use a zip/zippo lighter, even if your lighter runs out of fuel, then the flint spark from the lighter will light your fuel burner (take some care though).

[@Fernwee]

Excellent idea!

[@palmer3977]

Stunning, just stunning.

[@JulianAllen13]

Martijn, this was a great way to relax after a busy Sunday working in the bike shop at the start of winter here. You should be sponsored by the Swiss and Dutch tourist boards, your videos have me wanting to visit. Can't believe you left coffee at the home base, at least it wasn't beer you left!

[@Fernwee]

Haha yes i agree, they should ;) And no worries, we brought plenty of coffee along on the trip ☕️☕️☕️

[@92point5]

Thank You Man...you've no idea how much your videos lift my spirits. Respect to you and your crew, from Englandshire.

Great to see you guys cycling in the area where I live. Chasseral is indeed steep! Let me know next time you're in the area :)

Top quality vlog, the drone footage is breathtaking. I guess you and your buddies would love to come back for a longer adventure. Bring enough cash along because Switzerland ain't cheap.

Awesome, as always! Would love do a bike packing trip like this one day. Also, perhaps you could pass on a message to Focus that we'd like them to sell their bikes in North America, please :D

[@Fernwee]

Haha i’ll pass it on ;)

Nice video, as always! Do you guys noticed your spokes making a 'klink/ping' noice? I've got the GR1600 as well and they make weird sounds when applied some pressure on..

[@milanb.6022]

So... at which point, if ever, would you consider switching to a mountainbike? lol... crazy guys!

Enjoyed your video, but you need mountain bike gearing to enjoy those trails! 1x setup would be way too much suffering ;-)

[@Fernwee]

Tell me about it 😅

[@jasonwright606]

Where's the tent? ;-)

[@industryrule-4080]

What's your gearing on the Focus? All those climbs with the bags looked tough. Scenery worth it, though!

[@Fernwee]

40 in the front, 11-40 in the back, was still way too hard ;)
