28. CYCLING THE AMERICAS - The Cassiar highway and North BC
Переглядів 381Рік тому
After the energy of the city this is exactly what i was craving: some alone time in the wilderness, just me and nature. I took the ferry from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert and then took the extremely remote Cassiar highway up to Whitehorse. Next week I will be hopefully crossing the border to Alaska. Less than 2000km to go! Please pray for some tailwinds for me. IG: kooks.on.bikes blog: www.polar...
27. CYCLING THE AMERICAS - Vancouver and Vancouver Island
Переглядів 227Рік тому
Because I had arrived so early to Vancouver, I had to wait around for the weather to improve before I could continue up north. I took the opportunity to explore beautiful British Columbia, catch up with old friends, and get some skiing in. I even got to show my friend Ali my passion and take him on a mini tour to Vancouver Island. IG: kooks.on.bikes blog: www.polarsteps.com/christianHosking/651...

Cycling from Tapichula on the Mexico Guatemala border, to the Michoacan coast. Long days, saddle sores, overheating, new friends, epic views. It has been tough cycling, but worth it in the end. Surfing footage mainly from La Saladita (longboarding), and La Ticla (shortboarding). Thanks to David's Gopro footage.

Spending a week on a boat was a dream come true, and as close as I could get to paradise. Unfortunately I didn't film too much in Panama and also missed my novelty surf session in the San Blas, but will hopefully have an update soon from Costa Rica.

    2:45 - poetic! Made me a bit emotional to be honest. "I cook much worse dinners when I'm on my own, and the tent is much colder" 💔 That is a perfect analogy of single life. I'm glad you found peace and tranquility in the solo times - and podcasts ! 😉

    You capture scenery really well. Well done. However, it would be nice if you had the cam pointing towards the road as you cycle while you talk instead of having it pointed close up to your face. That spoils it for me. I’m not saying don’t do it, but maybe just point it to u as u speak for a min or so so whatever then turn it to the road. I want to see the road ahead as you cycle. Otherwise ur channel is great and I’ve been subscribed to it for sometime now.

    Thanks for this video. Very helpful. Also very jealous of the adventure you two are having. I’m one year out from my three-month solo cycle across Japan. Any advice on gear (e.g. anything you have since ditched or plan to change about your current set up?)

    Hello I know this is an old video but can you tell me what wheels and tires you used. I'm trying to figure out how many spokes is acceptable for light touring.

    • @chosking132
      @chosking132 Рік тому

      Hey! Of course. I have wheels with 36 spokes and haven’t broken a spoke (yet) in over 25000km. 40mm schwalbe marathon or marathon plus tyres depending on the terrain are the best for no punctures and durability. Hope that helps!

    Do you have a route map of route you’ve taken to date? Also, what’re you using for navigation/ maps/ route finding/ cyclo comp?

    • @chosking132
      @chosking132 Рік тому

      I record everything on my strava, but I dont have a map of the whole route in one. In Latin america there arent too many roads, so navigation isnt much of a problem. In north america I make routes on strava and then upload them to my garmin edge 830 which has been serving me well!
