GAËLLE ON TOUR: WHITEOUT
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- "In February 2020, I spent a month cycling accross frozen lake Baikal. The cold, the ice and the snow drew me there. I can’t explain precisely why I enjoy being in these landscapes so much but I feel comfortable in these wintery places - despite the cold, the harshness and the solitude. I love the silence, the muffled sounds, the light, the seeming steadiness that I find very soothing.
Lake Baikal is the largest freshwater lake in the world. It’s about 650 kilometres long and 70 kilometres wide and is located in Siberia (Russia), North of Mongolia. It also is the deepest lake worldwide and hosts an incredible biodiversity. During three weeks, I cycled from the North end to Irkutsk, the largest city around it.
Cycling in a cold environment implies many adaptations but the essence of bike-touring/riding/packing stays the same: discovering places, cultures, people. While I was alone most of the time, I also met some wonderful people who brought a lot of happy memories and warmth. How to depict these very emotional encounters when I barely have a photo of them ? How to transcribe the intensity of a smile after being on your own for several days ? We’re social beings and spending some time alone is, to me, a great reminder of how precious these interactions are."

Certainly one of the most breathtaking bikepacking trips I've ever seen!
Beautiful!
Monumental adventure Gaelle. 3 of us have done this 12 years ago. Now you are doing it solo. What an extraordinary source of inspiration you are.
Отличнейшее велопутешествие! Возникают покой и умиротворение при просмотре данного фильма! Благодарю!
Absolutely stunning scenery and great idea for a ride

It really is a unique landscape, for a bike at that. Beautiful film. I enjoyed it immensely.
amazing cinematography along with your bike packing..Thanks for creating such amazing videos!!
Truly inspirational. Awesome film.
What a beautiful film Gaelle!
That moment when two days ago commented Gaelle's pervious video and wished more of them.
Votre histoire me fait beaucoup de plaisir. Merci. Les images sont magnifique. Encore, merci. Toujours, bon voyage.
Great spirit, beautiful views!

во даёт , а мы тут лишний раз выйти из дома боимся , вдруг продует 😂😂😂. Молодец , такие видео вдохновят диванных спортсменов ))))
Nice!
Ca donne envie, belle vidéo, et beau voyage !
Stunning photography, but sorry it's tough to read the small white subtitles on white surfaces
Looks great! But as others have said already, please reupload with larger subtitles while there's still not too many views. It's very hard to read on my phone, I keep rewinding to try and catch it all but have given up halfway through. I hope to see an amended version. Thank you!
Hi, thanks for the constructive comment. It's not possible to change the video now but I'll keep it in mind for the future ones. Thanks for watching !
@@gaellebojko7741 thanks, it obviously in no way detracts from the epicness of your trip! Very beautiful and inspiring!
Watch it on a tablet or pc and titles are perfect.
Thank you for the Japanese subtitles.
I am a bikepacking fan in Japan.
I'm sure I'll be here.
日本語字幕ありがとう。
私は日本でバイクパッキングを楽しんでいます。
きっと私もここに行くことになるでしょう。
Beautiful, thank you very much! +1. One technical thing, if you could only improve subtitles -- just a hair more outline (on white background they are hard to read).
Hi ! Thanks a lot for your comment ! I'll keep it in mind for the future wintery landscaped video - hopefully there will be other ones :)
amazing!
fantastica avventura ! congratulazioni!
Thanks 4 share this 👍
Awesome you really inspire me! ❤️👍
Wow, what an awesome Adventure!!! But it's not for me, I'm already getting cold at Tierra del Fuego during summer 😉
Fingers going numb cold?^^
Haha ! Everybody's constitution is different, my flatmate is Columbian and he gets cold during our (rather mild) winter in the west of France ;)
Awesome 😎👍

Cracking ice... So intense mate...
👍👍👍
And I'm struggling going out for a ride when the thermometer shows +5°C ...
Это сильно !!!
The winterscapes is surreal, riding in it is amazing
It is ! You experience a place in a completely different way
Cool! (i'm from "it's a good trip" channel)
Very nice and inspirational. Not sure if the route would be my first choice ;-) What bike is Gaelle riding?
Thank you so much ! It's a Bombtrack (of course) Beyond +1 from 2019
I have so many questions. Do you have a blog or something where you explain the details of your trip? I'd love to do this some day.
We've been there in the south west part last year in the mid-end February, so probably seen each other on the way. ;) How many days the journey has taken?
Nice movie!
Oooooooh really ?! Were you cycling too ? It took 18 days from Nizhneangarsk to Irkutsk, plus some time in the train to get there and back from Moscow
@@gaellebojko7741 we were ice skating (or walking, depends on ice) for few hundreds km. Was also an amazing trip! But the moment I first time stepped on ice, I've realized that I want to bike it.. then forgotten about it, but after this video all the memories are back. Thanks for that! :)
Did you also bike the road till Irkutsk? I'm hoping to fit the trip in two weeks time frame, and maybe go straight, not crossing the lake. Was it in the end more biking or walking, and is like 80km per day a doable target in the north to middle part, how do you think? Thanks!
@@semyonantonov6280 Oh that's very nice, I thought it must be amazing to skate on it when I saw some ice skaters ! Maybe we've crossed each other in the south part, I saw 2-3 groups of ice skaters between Olkhon Island and Irkutsk.
I ended up taking a marshrutka to Irkutsk (they weren't very happy to take on the bike) because the journey took longer than expected. My plan was also to follow only the West coast but there was way too much snow between Baykalskoye and Olkhon Island so the fishermen I met told me to cross the lake and follow the eastern shore, which had a better 'road'. So I ended up averaging 80km per day on the north eastern shore, which is a bit tough but doable, but I couldn't have done that on the western shore. It depends on the conditions, from what I've been told it was an exceptionally snowy winter. So, roughly, 80 km/day is all right if the conditions aren't too bad, but if there is a lot of snow then it's a lot harder. I pushed my bike a lot in the north western part but it got much, much better after I crossed the lake and in the south western section. I hope this helped !
@@gaellebojko7741 thanks for the info!
the subtitle ist far toooooooooo big, isn't it???
Did you have studded tyres on the bike?
Hi ! sorry for the late reply. I did indeed
Subtitles are to fast and to small.
C'est trop facile, il n'y a pas de dénivelé sur un lac >
the wind alone might make it feel like a huge climb at times. Besides, this is NOT the Tour de France
