[@thefairweathercyclist6521]

Staggering effort. The ride in itself was incredible but you’ve excelled yourself in the video production. That scenery was amazing. Thank you for sharing and letting us sofa dwellers know something about what it’s like to ride 4,000km across Europe. Thank you for sharing your adventures

[@BikepackingAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@BikepackingAdventures]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. Tough to capture at times and still wish I didn't damage my phone lost a 3-4 days of photos. Least I have the memories.

I kind of followed along when you were there, but this film really brings it to life - with all the emotions - really fantastic and inspirational.

[@BikepackingAdventures]

Thanks am glad you enjoyed it - tried to retell the story in a different way to the regular vlogs - hope people enjoy it as much as I loved bringing the story together. I am still kicking myself about damaging my phone and losing days worth of phone footage - and not getting my gopro out during that time. Still... I got long-lasting memories.

great honest and beautiful report Richard! I've been following your bike performance on strava for a while. since you joined the RATN 2022 I follow you I would prefer to participate in such an event myself, but I think I'm too old for that now.(64) in any case you give me a lot of inspiration to continue with what i do now. thank you for your nice report.

[@BikepackingAdventures]

Maybe, maybe not! No reason why you cannot choice something perhaps a little less crazy and within your fitness levels.

[@mjbeaker]

Well done - great account of an epic achievement.

[@BikepackingAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah crediting the supporters, I felt it was necessary to say a big thanks to everyone. I've been thinking about revisiting my Race Around the Netherlands race as well - shrink a 6 part episode down into a film.

[@TheLongstaffaudaxer]
