Переглядів 20 тис.10 років тому
My bike ride in august 2014 from London to Paris. Total distance covered was 293km. Route taken was London - Newhaven - Dieppe - Gournay en bray - Cergy - Paris. Thanks for everyone's support especially those who hosted me on the way. You made it an unforgettable experience. Music in video: Nora En Pure - Come with me (Original mix) Subtil - Joris Delacroix (Original mix) Brigitte Bardot - Une ...
Congrats ❤
Thanks for sharing your video Karima, I enjoyed a lot. Saludos from Mexico!!!
Is the route available on Strava or as a gpx??
Great video Karina! Thank you for sharing your journey 😊 I recently cycled London to Paris at the beginning of October. It is a fantastic route !
You certainly looked like you had a great time Karima! Great music too 👍
Make more videos!
This is so awesome and looks like hard work? How did you get home from Paris?
Great music and she’s beautiful
Thank you for the upload. It's really a great achievement and an inspiration for everyone. I take my hat off to you !🚴♀👍
Hi there, do you remember how many hours it took and what type of tyres did you use?
Hi Christopher, I did the almost 300km in 4 days. I used to cycle during daylight only and made short stops every few hours to enjoy views or snack. I know people who do it in a shorter or longer time. In the end it depends on the purpose of your trip :) the tyres I had were Bontrager 700x32c or 35c, can't remember now. The bike was a Trek hybrid, nothing sophisticated.
I was looking up London to Paris vids and was considering a group ride. This however has convinced me to go solo. Greater video 👏
Loved every second of the video. Thank you.
awesome
Azul I got sister called Karima , nice video
Great video, well done!
That was brilliant, what a fantastic adventure, I don't know how you found your way especially down the little tracks. I wouldn't even be able to get out of London.
Great adventure. What type of Garmin did you use for GPS and was it helpful?
I have done the calais to Paris route a couple of times that's all road and hard. Long numerous climbs all the way pretty much. Riding alone has 2 negatives no one to share the expereince with. Having to lock up bike and sometimes unload it for pee breaks .
Wonderful round up of your trip!! Inspired.
Absolute wonderful !!
Classic !! Also insipring to get my fat lazy arse out there
good
very good, très bien !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I still watch this as it reminds me of the ride I did - I loved it!!
Wow great
Congrats for doing it! Looks amazing! #GirlPower

Thanks for taking the time to compile and post. Enjoyed it loads and am looking forward to my trip this spring.
Great video and good music match!
Great video, thank you for posting. My wife and I are thinking I doing the ride, do you have tips, places where we could get more information? Traveling from the Dallas area. Thanks again Karima

Love it, Sole cycled from Nottingham to Narbonne via Plymouth across to Roscoff, picked up the Velo 1 across Brittany ,down the French Coast, La Rochelle,Bordeaux , Narbonne ,16 days in fantastic Weather Sept 1016, No GPS or Garmin,just old fashion maps........ thanks for posting....
Amazing. Old school always rocks :)
Thank you, Karima. Nice effort, I enjoyed the trip.
Well done Karima!! Did you use a battery pack for your garmin/gopro
Sorry for taking a while to reply :) I just charged them every evening so they were ready for the next day.
Just uploading my London Paris video now. I did Portsmouth to Le Havre then Calais to Dover. If I knew there was a Newhaven ferry I would have taken that!
Jo Martin-Kelly oh wow! that sounds like an awesome route Jo! i actually heard about the la havre route and really wanted to go see it. unfortuanetly the ferry times didn't work for me.
well done havent done this route but the Calais Paris a couple of times a lot harder , looking to do tour route soon solo too, only issue is looking after your bike on bathroom breaks etc
MrOnyourbike thats very true. cyclists first world problems ;)
I am the 100th like. :)
I am the 150th
:)
Thank you planing on doing London to Paris. Your video is awesome and inspirational. What camera did you use?
purplebabylon It was a go pro 3+ I hope you enjoy the trip like I did! :)
Beautiful! The music added joy. Thank you for making it.
Just seen this video and the solo ride to Paris, and just gotta comment, that van at 1:57 got awfully close? Anyhow, love the music in this, and in the longer Parid ride video :D
Great video - nicely done - I take it you're a professional video editor/producer?
Not at all Paul. It was my first take on video editing. Probably why the video is so long :)
Ciao Karima....you're fantastica !! Why you don't came to Italy for other enterprise !!
Hey Karima, I did this last year too. Great video and well done!!
Thanks Tim! :)
Hello Karima, I've watched your video a lot and it's just amazing! I truly congratulate as it's something remarkable. :) You gave me an inspiration and I decided to do the London Brighton cycle journey. It's been amazing and I know the distance wasn't the same as with Paris, but after your video I've deiced to make my journey and I've done it. :) This is an official thank you for YOU and I hope you will enjoy my video about my journey. :) You was the inspiration for this... ua-cam.com/video/YntfMYOSI-0/v-deo.html
Karima, well done. Did you post your route anywhere on the web? I am thinking of doing this solo in September 2016.
+Patrick Okigbo Hey Patrick, Great plan to do it in September 2016. It is really worth it :) I mainly just relied on my Garmin to set the route for me. But I made sure it went through the 'avenue verte' and that it was set on 'touring'. I wouldn't recommend this setting if you will cycle with a road bike, as sometimes I went off roads, but if you have a hybrid bike then I definitely recommend the 'touring' settings. If you visit my Strava profile 'Karima S' and look back to August 2014 you will find the routes I took.
+karima Thank you!
