Solo Fall Overnighter | One Last Ride to Seal the Deal

  • Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
  • New Year resolutions often fade, but this year I stuck to one: a solo overnighter every season. As a seasoned bikepacker used to traveling with my partner, I wanted to test my ability to travel alone and face unexpected challenges. Join me on my final solo trip through the evergreen forests of Teruel, Spain, and discover the lessons and insights I gained from a year of adventuring solo.

    Wow, I don't always like videos like this. But this was fabulous. Good quality video. Good equipment choices. Great story. Panniers, chair, and a real tent. You win!

      Thanks a lot! I like my comfort when traveling by bike! Have done the ultra-light before and... honestly, I'd rather move slower and enjoy my comfy chair and reliable sleeping gear by the end of the day. =)

    Panniers are a good organized segregated way to carry gear/stuff and easily transfer into the tent. Just lift panniers/bags off the rack. Done.

    This video is beautifully done. Nicely filmed and narrated. You have a most pleasing voice and I'm glad that Adventure Cycling Association linked you in their most recent e-news letter. Best wishes from western Massachusetts, USA.

    Oh my first time seeing one of your videos, subscribed! Beautiful cinematography your voice and the way you speak English is absolutely appealing.
    I also had one last fall overnighter in the mountains before winter set in to get me through the winter.
    Many blessings to you and look forward to seeing where your bike takes you.

      Muchas gracias, aprecio que veas el trabajo que hay detrás. Siempre que salgo con la bici, salgo sin un guión o idea clara sobre la historia que contaré. Simplemente grabo momentos del día. Lo bonito es como al final, siempre que salgo termino llegando a alguna conclusión (aunque sea personal) que me permite compartir luego a modo de historia. ¡Un saludo!

      If you have the space on the track, there is nothing better than bags + panniers. No need to pretend it’s other way round.
