Thank you for sharing the bad and good moments! 08:15 showers -- my tip. Buy pair of massage/scrub gloves (from like Rossmann, dirt cheap), soap or something like this (preferably without SLS, because it is hard to wash off), and just a 0.5L bottle with water. Then make a small hole (with knife) in the bottle cap. Soak your gloves, rub against body, add a little soap, rub again, and so on, you get the idea. It is amazing how little water is needed, not counting hair, my record is 200ml. Even if there is river nearby, the bottle is handy (to avoid showering directly in the river). All the best, hugs!

I use a Garmin 1040 solar for my trips but don't use the inbuilt navigation on it (not sure if you loaded a pre-determined route or used the computer's internal navigation) as it can sometimes send me on roads that I do not want to ride on. Instead I use komoot to plot the route using the cycle touring option and then download the gpx file to my phone and use garmin connect to send the route to my Garmin. Maybe you already did this (if so please just ignore me), but if not you might find this helpful. With regards to mood, it's such a temporary and fragile thing. I think it is important in the good mood moments to really feel it and enjoy it, but when the doom and gloom hits just remember that is is temporary. I was so pleased to see this play out in this video so quickly - what a difference two hours made!

Hey Giant Cheerio, thanks again. Your videos are just great learning resource as well as being so fun to watch. It'd be amazing if you could make a video about the equipment upgrades you have made since your previous set up (with the black Giant bike). It looks like your bike + set up is quite different from before. Best, Seb

I just ' discovered' your channel. ( Actually it was suggested to me by KZbin) First I thought your channel was sponsored by Giant. You mentioned that the dogs barking kept you awake..... Welcome to Spain. The best country to in the world if you can get use to barking dogs. Not just in the countyside. They are everywhere and the Spanish people don't even seem to notice... Honestly, I asked various people but all I got was stares. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Giant Cheerio! I noticed in this video that you're riding a different bike, and it appears to be a steel frame bike. I'm curious, how do you find this bike compared to your carbon bike? Does it perform better in any specific ways? I'm always interested in hearing about riders' experiences with different types of bikes. Keep up the awesome videos!
@giantcheerio Жыл бұрын
I decided that I am better off with a steel bike when it comes to bikepacking. I am heavily loaded and my carbon frame was not made for this. It was made for speed and sometimes the bike frame kind of "swung" when I was speeding due to all the weight. This doesn't happen with my new bike. I am pretty happy with it :))
