RACE AROUND THE NETHERLANDS My First Ultra Distance Bikepaking Race 1950 km. An Ultracycling Movie

[@johnfitzgerald1192]

15:01 Wow!

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

🙌

[@GeekonaBike]

For sure, the mental strength to overcome the myriad of problems & challenges is the single most important trait required to finish a bike packing race.

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

indeed :) is a life experience

[@Ultrathom]

Films about ultracycling are “common”, ultracycling is about pushing limits. Making a movie yourself about going ultracycling while actually ultracycling, that’s going beyond limits. Great to watch!

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Many thanks, for your comment, just wanted to show the real experience :) glad you enjoyed it.

[@BikepackingAdventures]

@@Buzzalong.cycling great stuff Sherry, enjoying the video so far! I took part in the RAtN this year as well, I also filmed the race - hope you don't mind me dropped a link here to the first episode - ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWO0gXtom8aCrtE ) This was my first ultra distance bike packing race as well, unless you count Paris-Brest-Paris which is vaguely similar! The only bit I didn't film was the endless sheep and sheep gates - glad to see you film them - as a reminder I didn't imagine it!

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

@@BikepackingAdventures many thanks, Richard :) congratulations to you too! no worries, good job, nice to have more perspectives. on RATN ^^

[@BikepackingAdventures]

My load is sometimes up to 50kg...I love cycling....

Bravo Sherry. Makes my London to Brighton ride in a few weeks look like a trip to the local post office.

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Many thanks :) I also did London to Brighton, it was actually my first long ride. I think it is building up the mileage and training, I like to use my bikepacking trips as training, really fun way to cycle long-distance and discover new places.

[@jakobdieckmann]

Well done! Hope you have a speedy recovery. All the best!

[@gauloisrefractaireenexilvo4366]

Congratulations on this major achievement! You are a tough cookie and a strong adventure cyclist. If I may share two pieces of advice : for long distance rides, I'd recommend Panaracer PT Messenger in 700 x 32 or 35 cc, they never let me down (like a puncture in every 10,000 Km); stick to real food, eat cakes, pastries and chocolate as treats and rewards (I can't stomach gels or sugary drinks).
