nice bike
put the milk in the fridge :)
enjoyed it so i subscribed :)
Hats off to you both ,I have just got into cycling at the age of 58 and love it. I cheat a bit as its an E bike but i love it and plan to go further afield. I have already done the Pyrenees (Which has better views than my hometown of Burnley ! Well done both of you.
Maiahi It does my friend and helps me get fit and recover from my heart attack in November 18. I love it. I am a chauffeur for my day job and cycling has also given me an appreciation of other cyclists on the road. I now try to give them more space and more consideration.
You are crazy, and you will remember your trip, your whole life, you are living life. I did the same thing, now I am 73 and watching your video makes me live again, thanks 🙏 so much, keep living fellows.
I agree. Even though they slept in cushy hotel beds they will remember this for the rest of their lives. I bet they are already thinking about the next trip to make. I've been a lifelong cyclist. Never owned a car and i used my bike fro everything. Strangely though i only did my first long range tour when i was 45. 1000 miles in ten days from devon to deep into germany. Then the trip back. By the time i got back though i was done with biking for a bit. I did not even want to look at my bike. Since then i rode from devon to harrogate to see the worlds this year. Came back with all sorts of goodies that the pro's chucked my way at the feedstation
bet it was more fun back then!! Better roads and no tech distractions, just you and a map

Next time: "I bought the cheapest bike and cycled to the furthest national airport and flew back."
I like it! 👀
@@Cameron_Jeffers So you're going to the Shetlands on a balance bike? XD
St Mary's - Newquay - Aberdeen - Sumburgh - Fair Isle - Tingwall - Papa Stour (all connections)
Whats the point?
That bike won't last.
How is no one talking about the baguette touching the slides
cuse we are no pussys
Risouso nah it’s just disgusting
thank you, that's gross
Tbh who cares it doesnt Taste worse and wont harm you so why cry
Ya know u can do a little water rinse and dry it with a towel and still eat it
£60 to fly your bike to another country seems like a fair price.
@@bencepinter6176 you can take your bike on the bus in hungary? In holland you need to pay a €7 fee to take it with you on the train, even for just a few minutes
@@axelmaas8957 In Denmark most trains are free to take your bike and the rest are £1.5 and there are specific parts of the train for it. Buses are quite varied if you can take your bike and depends on circumstance. It's £1.5 for for that.
@@yannickokpara4861 In Norway you need to pay for a child ticket if your bike on the train/bus
@@trymfjellstad3294 In Sweden you just can't. There is no paying for it, you just get thrown off.
Here in Italy.. no well, nobody uses the bike in Italy lol (unfortunately)
Got a bit of the ‘YES Theory’ vibe on this one, works for me
thanks mate, haven't actually heard of them but I'm definitely going to watch now lol
Cameron Jeffers will give you a few ideas I’m sure!!!
Yessss sir!
Vice versa.even if Yes Theory watched this,surely they will spark some other great ideas.
Actually why I clicked it too
7:40 that baguette... :'D also it's a good mudguard
Well done. Not into cycling but this was recommended now I wanna give it a go.
cycling is all about how much pain you can put up with and for how long. if you're into the "runner's high" or the "bench press high" then you'll love it
same
I can't recommend bicycle touring on skinny tyres like these guys. You will be confined to the roads where it is dangerous, noisy, smelly, ugly, and - worst of all - lacking in adventure. A mountain bike is perfect for roads as well as trails, so it's the best of both worlds.
Let me warn you, train, train, train. I once tried to walk to London, around 75 miles. I ended up being in a state where I literally couldn't do a single step for 3 days. I only managed 40 miles and had to call for help. So there's that. My legs literally gave up.
Not Gary Oldman yeah let me bike a few thousand miles on a mtb shut the fuck up mate
The first time I rode my bike for 100 km which took me well over 8 hours and my body hurt like hell for the next few days. I can't imagine how long these guys have been cycling that they could cover 170 km in a day and still have the energy to continue doing this for almost a week. Glad I found this channel!
They have fancy bikes
@@binjammin3076 these are not fancy bikes
The fact that that milk isn't in a fridge ruined my life for 24 minutes 51 seconds....
expected more concerned milk comments, have to say i'm disappointed
And it stayed there for seven days...
I’m hoping he only uses it for the coffee machine next to it warm milk is savage
I did a similar thing this summer from Cambridge where I was working all the way to Italy where I am from. 1700 km in 10 days and it has been one of the best experiences in my life!
hell of a ride man!!
How did you cross the sea to England ?
@@11hadram11 one big ass run-up
@@Cydro12 i am serious, is there a bridge from Franch to UK ?
@@11hadram11 no there's a train from Calais to dover I think, which runs underwater.
I'm only thirteen, yet I really want to do this sort of stuff when I turn 16. Your a big inspiration mate
U can do it!
@@cheers9503 Thank You! 😃😃😃
Haha if your parents let you. I'm 16 and really wanted to cycle to Dublin from cork to complete my first century. They wouldn't let me go. Had to do the same stretch of ten miles ten times and that was not cool.
Im literally the same here omg
Wonder how you're parents going to let you do this?
FM, you are seriously mental but what an inspiration you both are. At first I couldn't believe that you had taken no food for the 1st morning but your spirit of adventure shone through and your distances you traveled. A massive well done from me, I look forward to your future posts.
Wife and I flew to Athens and cycled back in 1980 took a few weeks though.
For real! Wow
That's mad
i’m relieved i’m not the only one eating unhealthy on cycle tours
nile 234 please can you subscribe to me
Need those calories and sugar
Ace, i did that to Faro, Portugal and back in 2012 - just under 3500 kms in 21 days, you never forget these trips for life. Burnt in Spain, soaked in France. Big skies across France eh. Best wishes - Volksquadman 👌
Superb really enjoyed it. I thought me and the wife had found our wings when we cycled 16 mile in just under 2hrs this week. Gotta start somewhere I guess. Well done guys !
Song at 2:38 is Gamma Skies - Mexico
thank you
Issam Zennouhi thank you I don’t want the music but thank you for the people who wanted
8:08 was anyone else concerned that the baguette was strapped to the sole of his slide?
Ffs
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
All that dirt must taste good
And it was downwind of him. Hope hadn't eaten too much fibre.
Brooo it’s fineeee
Loving the spirit of adventure, - and keeping it simple - just go, and come back, - little planning but that's where the fun is. - 1992, I did the same, arrived in Amsterdam via ferry (they were cheap then), only had £250 in my pocket, a new mountain bike (Marin Bear valley SE), panniers and a mad hunger to get lost trying to get to Paris, eventually got there, with no internet, no sat nav, just local knowledge/advice and following the sun. :) Keep rocking guys!
This is without jokes, the best video on youtube. No sponsors, No makin' it 10 minutes long. Pure entertainment.
Looked like an awesome adventure Cam. Glad to see you back. Don’t let negative comments get you down.... some people have nothing better to do. All the best for the future to you and Monica 👍
One of the best ways to travel. Had a crap time at work last year so took a hire car to Lands End and cycled back to Newcastle. Really helped sort my head out.
love this idea with the hire car
@@Cameron_Jeffers Even easier way is to steal a car, no need to find the drop-off place.
Hello would this be beneficial to a man with severe mental health issues could this help ?
@@benedictearlson9044 erm no that's called a free cell for breaking the law
@@jgilly3362 cycling has definitely helped me with my battle with depression. A lot more than the doctors coulp do to help me but I havent done more than 100 km in one day so couldn't say whether a bike tour of that distance would be good for me I could imagine some big ups and downs but after it's done the sense of achievement would be immense
The baguette strapped to the bag was absolute gold
Whos here during covid 19 wishing they could fly ...anywhere?!
maybe bike. Im in college and as classes were being moved to online, I was considering biking up from San Diego to maybe San Francisco and back (about 1000 miles roundtrip ~1600 km) planning on doing it over the course of two weeks-ish (like 70-80 miles ~120km a day) But in case of an emergency in this time when its hard to get treatment in a hospital, its not a good idea. I still want to do a 70 mile roundtrip in a day
some flights are still operating btw
@Mister Physics met some italians visiting here was well confused
Meeee
fly? i am wishing i had a job, let alone fly
Probably that ferry was more expensive than the flight lol
I'm sending signals please can you subscribe to me
@@josiahokello5506 no if you're promoting your channel like that
@@tnfsgsalternateaccount7613 that's the only way for regular channels to promote thereself are you thick or not know how UA-cam works the videos they upload won't get views unless they spread the word just like every business shop and so on does so your just hating on someone with no reason if people were good to each other the world could be so much better
@@jgilly3362 I've been here for 10 years, I know a lot about UA-cam. You see, UA-cam's algorithm recommends random, but quality videos for people to watch it so if no one watches your video, either the algorithm didn't find you yet or your content is straight TRASH. This guy's videos are like the plastic in Pacific Ocean.
@@tnfsgsalternateaccount7613 Take up any video. Just take this one. There are thousands of such videos on the internet. We are social animals and we love watching experiences of other. These videos is not about quality but about communication. We love Stories and Stories based on experiences is what our talks at the dinner table is all about.
Some pretty good channel with quite unique content has shut down. If you think UA-cam of 10 yrs back is same as today's then you probably know nothing about UA-cam's algorithm.
There is no harm in asking others to watch your video. That's what everybody is doing. For some reason you people want to sit down on the pedestal and judge the other person the minute he or she starts speaking from a position of disadvantage (he showing that he needs your views). Probably it's not a surprise why the biggest assholes are most successful too. And then you are the same people who whine about the rich and powerful being such assholes.
Honestly stumbled upon this and was not disappointed. I've seen my dad after 120km races and he's completely exhausted. I have to commend you for your resilience and your stamina to continuously cycle such long distances day after day. Well done.
Touring Tips: On all day touring shelter from heavy downpours (coffee, food break shop). Leave early cover bulk of miles in morning so leaving yourselves a buffer of time for the afternoon ride. Slim profiles rucksacks for additional items might have been useful. But well done, resilience of youth. Listerine for throat, gargle twice daily. By the end of the week you would have found you'd toughened up and you can start to add more miles. Perhaps next time finish in a large town each night, shorts & t shirt + your rain jacket allows you to explore. Suggestion: Cheap flight to Tenerife (January) Rent racer (Bikeshed €38)... ride up Tiede volcano. 7 hrs up / 60 min down
When your through with all this racing Cam do this route again, in May, add 3 more days, add more mates and keep your head up and look around. Amazing country to pedal through at the right time. Great vid
French guy: looks out window, sees 2 English guys on bikes in lycra blurting AJ Tracey out
Turns around confused af
Videos like this deserve way more views. Real achievements, hard work and raw passion.
I'm locked out 2000 km from home due to COVID 19 , now planning to cycle back HOME.
Did u do it
i live in cherbourg, it cool to see it from another point of view ^^ even if you had really bad luck with the weather, right now in summer its sunny everyday and my Northerner's spirit wants a bit of cold x) im not fan of heatwaves
That baguette strapped to the back of the bike had me laughing so hard 😂😂😂😂
Brilliant. Respect to you both.
I'm really jealous of your fitness, determination. Well done guys.
That was very watchable video, love the idea but full respect for those distances in the cold and rain. Liked the pace of the video and the cut backs for commentary 👍
17:50 - "finally i'm on the right side of the road"
Pun intended af
So good to have you back chap - awesome vlog too - Great to have a chunk of inspiration when it’s crap outside
Thanks Andrew
Hi Cameron, done a few of these trips myself in South Korea and the feeling is awesome, isnt it? Over here there are restaurants everywhere to get you fully stocked up on great food, so if you ever wanna come by and ride and grab some delicious food on the way, hook me up!
Great video guys and what an effort you pair of legends I could no way do anywhere near that sort of riding so hats off to you.. enjoy the rest and recuperation !
It's funny that you spend the whole week eating cheese and ham sandwiches, pizza and croque monsieur with fries, but you come with the unhealthy food disclaimer once you go to McDonald's 😄
Welcome Back Cam, Great Adventure i'll have a look at doing something like this next season
So good to see you guys doing this. We went (3 of us) in the eighties by train to Munich and rode back to Holland in 5 or 6 days. I had a Nishiki Roadmaster. We did not even have mountain gears, I think I had 42x23 as the smallest gear. We were so young and so strong but as I remembered well we had much better weather than you guys. Slept in youth hostels and ate / drank everything we could get our hands on. Asked for water along the road and got a copious lunch from complete strangers. Great memories. Thanks for bringing this back.
I saw the coffee brewing at 12:50 and had to go and make myself a cup too. Epic trip; puts my little 20-30 mile daily rides [during C-19] to shame LOL.
First time seeing this channel. Damm! That's cycling!

Epic video! Thank for bringing us !
Only just caught that vlog. Epic ride and respect for doing it. Really enjoyed that 👍🏻
RIP bearings
Is that really a problem at just 1000 km ? Im just asking because the bicycle of my dad has the same bearings for like 15years on it and they work perfectly fine and its getting ridden regularly
@@maltemehll2566 Certainly meant the jet wash. That is often deadly for the bearings. I personally would never do that.
@@lukeskywalker4359 Oh that makes sence ^^ Sound also never jetwash the Bearings of my Bike
Mavic wheels have sealed bearings. So has BB.
@@user-0xDEEDBEEF sealed isn't fully sealed, they are just better than more traditional bearings. Sealed bearings are harder to regrease so maybe worse to jet wash as open bearings can be re greased easily.
Good to see you back cam. I'd love to do a trip like that one day. Just need to convince someone it's a good idea first
Been on 2 cycling trips to france, once on my mountain bike and the other time on my road bike, both times were amazing. Would definitely love to go again
0:04 I first didn't see it's just water, I thought it's the edge of a cliff and it's going down a few hundred meters.
That strapped up baguette is brilliant! Made me LMAO
Amazing adventure, made me feel tired at end just watching here at home during lock down, Sat at home wondering when we can return to anything resembling normality.
I only discovered Cameron's channel 2 days ago and I'm already full invested. Some great content on here, bro. 👍
the baguette strap on, priceless
makaan1932 that sounds so wrong in so many ways
ca c'est de l'aventure . bravo .keep on living your dreams
hi, cameron ! i've overtooked you when you were going to cherbourg, i live there. I was surprised because you are not allowed to cycle here ^^ beside that, doing saint lo - cherbourg on the highway is pretty impressive as the rest of the trip :D cheers
absolutely fantastic journey you have made guys!
That was truly inspirational and you guys are fantastic to do that ... One thing would have been nice to see a map with your progress as you went . Great video thanks
Loved how he just called a 'Pain au Chocolat' a 'Croissant'. I can tell that 'Pain au Chocolat' was very offended
I didn’t see a “PaiN aU ChOColAT”, only a chocolatine
Maybe it identified as a croissant. Don't be such a bigot. /s

anyone else questioning why he keeps his milk in his room not in a fridge HAHA
I too keep my milk in the room but by the window bay when i was in north east England since it's cold enough, except during summer
@@LouisSiah milk doesn't last long out the fridge in the UK either I'm British and can gaurentee if you leave it out legit would go bad
@@jgilly3362 true if too long but i finish my 6 pints in 3 days and it seems to be just fine hehe
@@jgilly3362 one thought for you: people have been drinking milk much longer than we've had electric fridges.

I’m in Calvados by the way!
Brilliant vid! Really nice to watch!
Awesome riding guys really enjoyed
I’m glad that yt recommended me this
Absolute legend, epic ride there.
You’ve inspired me to do this. Def a great adventure/life experience!
the baguette! off the back of the bike! was priceless.
About bloody time you came back 😄Good to have back pal. Your vlogs have been missed.
Love the concept of this. Did you get to enjoy any of the route or was it a head down full on blast home?
What a brilliant adventure - loving the ad-hoc nature of the trip.
very informative! I don't cycle but i enjoyed the adventurer you two mates had. thank you.
Totally lost it, when baguette was strapt to the bike XD
Baguette mud guard for the win!!!
Maybe why he got a sore throat? Or because it was strapped down to the bottom of a flip flop 🤢🤮
It also went through so much bacteria and road pollution
Great idea, loved the journey! Such a beautiful ride.
Guys this is awesome, really looking to get into this type of riding. Have liked and subscribed
Happy memories - two years ago I bought a one-way ticket to Zurich and cycled home. Assembled the bike in the baggage claim area at Zurich airport, as the luggage trolleys wouldn't take a bike box due to their idiotic design. Telling friends I'd bought a one-way ticket to Zurich was amusing - I got asked whether I'd robbed a bank or something!!
New bike I like it
Subbed because I’ve spent the evening watching the challenges you set yourself
Wow impressive and then some ... and got to say quiet inspirational but crazy mad ...when I’m feeling it after my 70 k ride and want to throw the towel in ... I’ll think of your 1000k antics to spur me on !!... well done chaps ... seriously sterling work!!
4:50 * angry french noises * (that's not a croissant that's a pain au chocolat)
It's a chocolatine....
youcantcme2 they are in northern France it’s a pain au chocolate. Keep to the south
Beth Hague Nah mate. TeamChocolatine4Life
hahaha pain au chocolate means bread with chocolate. I love french
Chocolatine is spanish propaganda and pain au chocolat is the real deal. : ^)
You’ve given me a new goal to accomplish!
Really enjoyed this video. For years I have been wanting to get a bike and try this sport out , last month finally ordered me one , hope I can make a wicked trip like this in my future
I don’t understand how nearly 1000 people have disliked this video? Thoroughly enjoyed it Cameron. Keep up the smashing content.
