RIDING THE COLLSEROLA MOUNTAINS IN THE BACKYARD OF BARCELONA

In this episode, I show you how my bike made the journey from Singapore to Barcelona with the Scicon Aerocomfort 3.0 bike bag. Will I regret my decision to go with a soft case? The set up on arrival only takes "5 minutes". It's that simple. After some coffee in the city at Nomad, I head out for my first ride back in this beautiful cycling country. I have really missed these sort of climbs.
A special thanks to Belle for making this video possible.

Thanks everyone for your patience! This episode will be the first in a series about my rides in Spain. Hope you guys like it.

[@ascentbikes]

Thanks for taking the Polaris 42 on such an epic trip! Now they have been where none of the Ascent team has been!

[@Splashhhh]

Yes descending is pretty tricky not as easy as people think. A friend of mine got injured while descending in Taiwan. Got trauma and stopped riding for a good 6 months but he’s back at it again.

[@thewinsty]

Esp for us who are used to riding in Singapore’s terrain! Hope he’s well now :)

[@Snailit1]

The drone views are just exquisite.

[@thewinsty]

Thanks!

[@zaphod_beeblerox]

Role reversal

[@anthonylozano3645]

You should get a rear light if you haven't done so. Great videos.

[@sktang7145]

Thanks for the video Doc. Love Spain for just about everything. Enjoy.

[@thewinsty]

Thanks for watching. Cheers!

[@Oakpathetics]

Checking the bike out of the travel bag - “the wheels look round”. that’s always a bonus 😂

[@thewinsty]

Square wheels aren’t as efficient I heard

[@ascentbikes]

[@dchongster]

Another beautiful video!

[@thewinsty]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@POS36]

Wow got chio bu travelling with you 😜

[@matteo.triathlon]

I really like your style of editing. Curious how you got those drone shots. Does the „follow me“ work well with all those trees? ;)

[@thewinsty]

Yes it works fairly well despite the trees, like when I am climbing it dodges the trees well. I almost lost the drone because it couldn't keep up on the descents PLUS added challenge of the trees

[@sometimesflux]

am willing to bet that it was not "5 minutes". But it's defo another wonderful video. Inspires me to try and ride my bike

[@thewinsty]

Well, “try” and ride it this Sunday 😉

[@avocado.cyclist]

If you come to London give us a shout! haha will take you to some crazy hills!

[@Ridesafeoutthr]

Yes I knew it was a drone above you while cycling. What is the background music 5:49?

[@thewinsty]

Sparkling Waters - Dylan Sitts

[@javierfum4692]

YESSS LAAA NEW VIDEO LETS GOOOOOOOOO

[@thewinsty]

Starting the Spanish adventure proper 🙌🏻

[@jeffroom]

You should check it in the airport. Anything happen can have a strong claim because you still in the airport. Anyway, love your trip.

[@thewinsty]

That was the first thing I did the moment I took it off the belt 😂

[@thewinsty]

I agree!

[@funkyrodent66]

Hey mate, what is your camera set up for the headshots and the overhead shots? Thanks!

[@thewinsty]

Hi I’m using a DJI action 4 and for the overhead shots I’m using a DJI mini 3 pro drone :)

[@glenntan1516]

Hi Winston, any plans to join some criterium or peloton races in the future?

[@thewinsty]

Probably not, can’t even keep up with the Zwift races! Hahaha

[@amanwithabudget]

Nice!

[@thewinsty]

Ride more la

[@olb6222]

Hey, so you're glad with the bag even though it's not a hard case? how did you bring the bag to the BnB? I guess it didn't fit a normal cab or car? Nice video, i enjoyed it grealty!

[@thewinsty]

Yup I have no regrets! It fits in a regular sedan, but for my trip we sat in a normal sized cab which happened to be a hatchback.

[@jonyeo2513]

More videos pls!

[@thewinsty]

Definitely

[@hockysa]

lol no way. I'm literally buying this bike bag because we're moving to Barcelona next week.

[@thewinsty]
