    Road to GRANADA – Pedaling up hill for 3 days



    🚲 I am Giant Cheerio, a bicycle traveler, exploring the world by bike since 2021.

    WE ARE GOING HIGH!
    In this vlog episode I am taking you with me to one of the most beautiful cities in Spain – Granada! That means pedaling up hill for about 3 days.

    Sweat, exhaustment, many meters of elevation and neverending thirst are my companions on that trip through the mountains.
    As β€˜β€™hapiness is only real when shared’’ I was lucky to have bikepacking company, so I didn’t have to go through this all by myself.

    Lean back & enjoy watching!
    Cheerio, Goodbye, Salut & Adios!

      Very good episode. The music was well matched to the video without being obtrusive. Hey! you're getting pretty good at this stuff! Those hilltop views are achingly beautiful. It's taking my mind of this less than beautiful smoky haze outside today. Apparently Quebec is burning to the ground. I feel badly for the people who are close by the fires.

      in 1984 we drive from Terremolinos to Granada in rickety, cheap,4 cylender, manual transmission "car" and had a hell of a time getting there.s🀣 So I can relate.

      Hahaha I sooo recognize being a couch potato if not cycling. Even if I am only at 13 days of cycling I already experienced so many similar things. Love it!!❀ Haha and also being hungry and not having anything but noodles but so hungry i could eat a horse or something but then enjoying the noodles so deeply. You really start to appreciate the little things you have and feel blessed with it❀❀ Keep it up! You are awesome!! 😁

      How do you pack vegetables and keep them from getting smashed?
      I've always wanted to cycle with good veggies and more variety of food, but either run out of space or everything bruises.

      Thanks for the videos!

      You have so many trademarks that make the viewer feel like a groupie/in the know, the simplicity and consistency of your style/approach is good to see 😊

      Vertical meters are so hard and some people like to underestimate them if you haven't done a tour like this before. Especially with luggage. I did 3000m from Albania to Greece in two days. That was annoying. You did a great job! Keep going, you're awesome! Nice episode as always!
