Breathtaking scenery. I am glad you were able to fix your bikes and get the parts you need. This adventure is epic and something I want to do in the future.
Grate fun to watch, not sure I would plan to do this tour but parts of it I have done and really enjoyed.
Best episode yet ! You have settled into the journey and seem much more calm & enjoying yourselves…next episode soon I hope !
video brings up so many memories of my 3000km hike, just moving along from place to place always on the go. Beautiful spots in nature to be everywhere. Small things becoming incredibly rewarding. Very nice journey boys thanks for sharing. I think ive watched all of the episodes so far. Might have missed 3. Looking forward to what is to come. Dankjewel;
Still here
Great video with informative commentary and unobtrusive music. But the route doesn't go via Altenahr, you probably meant Altenberg
After all was you satisfied with your bike selection? Great videos!
Beautiful once more 😊
Really interesting spots you pass by. It's like a compressed sightseeing trip across Europe.
Watching an episode takes me easily one hour trying to retrace your journey and finding POIs along the way 😄
@5:50
Holy crap that’s a beautiful scene.
So nice to see you cycle where I used to ski in Gerardmer and camp at the lake down the mountain.
Seeing your videos, I was thinking that each country you've been through is very beautiful yet very different, it's fantastic
Fantastisch!! Kan niet wachten op het laatste deel, ik krijg hier zoveel zin van om op pad te gaan, maar… ik heb nog een boel hobbels te nemen voordat ik kan gaan. Je video's helpen me om stappen in de goede richting te zetten, want het is echt een geweldige mooie tocht die jullie gemaakt hebben!!
To anyone watching this : after leaving the Rhone and heading to Privas their is a troglobyte housing site in the "grotte de la Jaubernerie". Won't lie the climb to them is a short and brutal affair after Coux (which is also beautifull) but well worth the detour and short hike
