Love the helmet hair at 5:00!

[@jackultracyclistofficial]

😂😂😂 didn’t realize it was that bad at the time of filming!! 😂

[@brian567comau]

This is a great travel vlog. Fantastic footage of some really beautiful countryside. Good work with this one Jacko.

[@jackultracyclistofficial]

Thankyou ❤️ looking forward to Romania together👌🏽👌🏽

[@justinrooimans3546]

You are such a beast! Great vid Jack, love to see how you kept the moral high even in brutal weather.

[@jackultracyclistofficial]

Cheers Justin, stoked you enjoyed this one!

[@andrewschirmer3849]

A great watch mate thoroughly enjoyed it!

[@jackultracyclistofficial]

Stoked to hear it! Cheers 😁

[@global_nomad.]

great to see the video of the strava trip...rain, misery and french shop times....and geography...always trying to work out what i could do on a multiday trip....need to try it

[@jackultracyclistofficial]

100% you’ve got to plan one and go do it mate. So good for the mind!!

[@hoser7706]

Like the PSA at the end. Slip, slsp, slop. Get that sunscreen on. 😬. Very cool trip. Your spirits seemed so high despite that ramge of weather. A credit card lightweight trip like that is appealing and inspiring. Thanks for sharing. Love your setup.

[@jackultracyclistofficial]

Always got to pop that sunscreen on!! Appreciate it 😁 Nothing better than a few days on the road exploring right?! Have a great week 🙌🏽

[@madonius]

Awesome video, makes me wanting to go out!

[@jackultracyclistofficial]

Hell yeh mate, stoked to hear it 🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@falklevien]

Noice mate. That looks like epic fun. Yea those bike paths you kinda hit out of the blue are amazing, especially if you get to stay on them for such a long time.

[@jackultracyclistofficial]

Such a nice change from being on the roads too 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

[@paullinkins8121]

That small masonry arch bridge scene at 3:49 -- my mother (she was from Belgium) created a large and detailed oil painting of it in the 1970s. Brings back memories. Nice cinematography, soundtrack, and editing. It's obvious some people spent some time and effort making this. Thanks.

[@jackultracyclistofficial]

That’s incredible?! What are the chances that you watched this video and that your mum had painted that exact bridge?! Appreciate the kind comment Paul 🙏🏽😁

[@TheChindoboi]

Beautiful trip!

[@jackultracyclistofficial]

Thanks!

[@derekcravenPT]

Excellent! I hope we get to see something of what you got up to while in Roubaix??

[@jackultracyclistofficial]

I didn’t film this unfortunately!! Next year mate!

[@HansComyn]

man, did not know you were coming this way. would have accommodated your arrival. I am 10K north of Kortrijk. Was at Paris Roubaix Femmes. Next time you come to Belgium, feel free to let me know and I will take care of you.

[@jackultracyclistofficial]

I appreciate that mate 🙏🏽 I didn’t know that’s where you were based?! Hope you’re well Hans 🙌🏽😁

[@HansComyn]

@@jackultracyclistofficial for the first time in 20 years setting up a homebase here. Still on the road most of the time. Malaga . Medellin ...

[@jackultracyclistofficial]

Lovely stuff mate, sounds like a great setup!

[@davidmcilvenna3710]

Congratulations on getting married Jack! ... enjoyed this video.. thank u! you could easily have done a day-by-day vlog of the trip.. i defo would've watched! I appreciated your mental health videos in the past.. how have you been keeping?

[@jackultracyclistofficial]

Appreciate it mate! Lots more videos coming 🤘🏽🤘🏽 Stoked the mental health videos helped 🙏🏽 I’ve been doing pretty well, going through some changes at the moment, and will share some details soon!

[@davidmcilvenna3710]

@@jackultracyclistofficial Good stuff! keep up the good work!

[@jackultracyclistofficial]

😁😁

[@johnglodek2380]

Stoked on this one Jack! What tires are you running? Talk soon!

[@jackultracyclistofficial]

Thanks mate! These are Specialized Mondo 35mm tyres. Fast and with great puncture protection. Dream tyre! 😍

[@InquisitorCortez]

Great ride, well done with that mileage in the rain! How did you navigate getting food at the supermarkets with the bike after going solo on day 3? Are you taking it in or locking it up outside?

[@jackultracyclistofficial]

Thanks mate 🙌🏽 I took the bike inside with me and removed the front axle, then used the helmet to deter anyone from taking it. Kept my eyes fixed on it too!

[@Bikes-n-Stuff]

Great vlog and some great footage. Did you handhold the selfie stick for the insta360 shots or have some hidden mounts? Your hands looked very much on the bars so didn't seem like you were holding.

[@jackultracyclistofficial]

All handheld against my hood! Or sitting on the pole 😂😂

[@Bikes-n-Stuff]

@@jackultracyclistofficial Wow, not sure I'd have the guts to sit on mine.... Seamless - he's an insta360 Pro ;) 😁

[@jackultracyclistofficial]

😂😂😂 it’s not the most comfortable position, but it helps to get the shot!

[@glennicol1361]

Will you be back in Asia for any more challenges this year?

[@jackultracyclistofficial]

Not at this stage, but I would love to come back!!

[@kramrenrut950]

Hi nice job what did you use for charging your bike computer etc cheers

[@jackultracyclistofficial]

I took a little wall charger and charged it each night at my accomodation. I’d generally get 2 days between charges 👌🏽👌🏽

[@kramrenrut950]

Perfect, thanks

[@jackultracyclistofficial]

🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@palindromeAU]

What GPS software did you use to map out the ride?

[@jackultracyclistofficial]

Komoot 🙌🏽

[@Thomas-y3w]

Did GoogleMaps take you on that route. looks like you lucked out just going a>b ... send it, nice one

[@jackultracyclistofficial]

I used komoot to plan this one mate, it was 98% faultless. Just a few hairily ‘busy’ roads I’d have preferred to detour around!

[@bernieraverty4319]

Beats cycling up the KOM 5 times in a row I am guessing😀

[@jackultracyclistofficial]

😂😂😂 you’re not wrong!

[@jackultracyclistofficial]

I appreciate that mate! Kudos on your world circumnavigation, epic stuff!

[@bernieraverty4319]
