Blake's Bike Packing Adventure Round The Isle Of Wight | GMBN Epic Rides
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 чер 2024
- After a great mountain bike packing adventure in Wales with Neil, Blake wanted to challenge himself to ride, film and edit another GMBN epic completely by himself. Circumnavigating the island he calls home in the south of England over a long weekend, Blake shares with us some of the local history, sights and sounds from the saddle.

Did you have an epic ride this summer? Let us know in the comments below 👇
Global Mountain Bike Network yes went to Dalby and gisban Forest
I just did some downhill at the local downhill park nothing like this insanity
I went to whistler and it was sick - met Blake 🤙🏾😉
Will Blunt that's awesome
u can say tht night no vampires where seen near the campsite
Blake is my favourite presenter
your editor needs a raise this was amazing
Believe it or not Jack this was mostly Blake 😉
Jack Gowen haha thank you I do!! Haha
wow big ups to you blake your riding and your editing is amazing
The star of gmbn
For setting a great example of how many of us should.
That’s Queen Victoria not Elizabeth, Blake😉
Nicholas GIBBS no! Victoria was born at Kensington Palace nearly 100 year after Victoria. She is Victoria’s great grand daughter. Unless you are referring to Elizabeth the first which is even more wrong.
Nothing refreshes you less than warm water on a hot day cycling
You should definitely create a Komoot route for this journey 👌Come to think of it, Blake should create a bunch of his favourite isle of wight cycle routes and whack em on Komoot!
…when summers were still sunny. I miss those days.
Brilliant Blake ,I'm Isle of Wight born and bread,think you just did more to show the island at it's best than the tourist board have done in ten years
Jim Drake hahaha thanks Jim.
Costa del Artlepool yes, it’s an Island just off the southern UK coast, what else would you expect?
Costa del Artlepool I don’t think it’s compulsory though
yes I live on the isle of wight and I completely agree
Bred
Top man, just walked the island and now bought a gravel bike to bike pack it. Nice one
I went back in time with Blake today, and I really enjoyed this video. I'd like to see more like it back on the show 👍🏾
And just how cool is Blake doing a Superman, and Manual on a bike loaded with panniers!! Maybe CTC no longer stands for Cycle Touring Club but Crazy Trick Cyclist !!!!! Awesome Dude!!
Fantastic work Blake. 🙌🏼👊🏼👍🏼
TimFromWales thanks Tim
We want more Blake, his gnarly af
I 1st cycled the Isle of White back in 1990 on a road bike. It was great, even with the rain that started to pour down half way through my ride. It was cold but a blast! I did the entire island in one ride.
I LOVE the Isle of Wight...wouldn't live anywhere else! 😎
Bikepacking!!! And kind of cool to see Blake in a setting which isn’t all about higher and faster and bigger tricks!
He loves to take it slow and do a good camping adventure every now and then too!
Well... we’ve had road bike party... packed bike party?
Every year you will find me on Sandown beach holidaying. I worked at the Jesmond Dean hotel back in the 80's (no longer there) and fell in love with the Island. I am moving heaven and earth at the moment to get a permanent residence. I adore mountain biking, and the Isle of Wight, and this video has made my desire to move excruciating 😁What beautifully shot content. Thank you.
Best of luck with your mission to move there Chris! Great place to live 👍
I dont know what other viewers think, but all I'm thinking after watching this is: i want to visit blake and go bikepacking on this island as well😍😍
Awesome Blake that's all I can say THANK YOU!!!!
Didn't know Blake lives on IOW, now the ferry ride to get to Snowdon makes sense !! . . . I was booked up with a group of fiends to do our 1st cycle circuit of IOW but it was killed off by Covid. While watching I was following on Goofle earth, it all made me even more determined to get it done when all this craziness is over :-)
That ride up from The Garlic Farm to meet the road at The Downs is a killer! I lived on the island for 3 years (just a few doors down from the tea rooms at 15:00), it's fantastic for mountain biking, this makes me miss being there for the riding. I don't miss the ferry costs though.
Yo Blake I used to live on the Isle of Wight. Used to ride from Newport to Sandown all the time when I was a kid. But honestly buddy you got to realise that you’re a Grockle. You don’t find many mountains but the downs are beautiful and the adders are not as poisonous as you will be used to.
Living here on the Isle o Wight, agree with the other posts, done more than tourism board in 10 yrs. Brilliant video and great to see a sneaky run through Brighstone Forest. I look straight out my back door across to Tennyson down and am privileged to see the most amazing sunsets on a reg basis.
Bonus fact - That black and white thing at 3:38 is Ashley Sea Mark, it was built in 1735 and was used for navigation 😉 Great video tho, love IoW, been there a few times, good job Blake.
Great video. This and Neil’s longest day vid have been the best this year.
Great to hear Steve! Cheers!
Agreed
This is why I bought a Hardtail MTB. To explore and have fun. Awesome video.
Gorgeous scenery and what a cool video! Thanks Blake 💯👍😎
This is probably my favourite gmbn video so far. Absolutely beautiful.
What a master piece of a presentation .. love every single shots of it ..
Thank's for sharing your neck of the wood .. that was super interesting :-)
Keep riding my friend ;-)
Cheers !!!
Robert Perron glad you loved it Robert
That train was really COOL!
I pretty much grew up every summer in Cowes pissing around on boats and love the island. It brings back so many happy memories as i watch this from home in Sydney i suddenly find myself feeling so much closer to home.
Benjamin Archer I’m glad you enjoyed it Ben.
Great to hear Ben!
Absolutely love this bloke
Great video! Gave this American a great feel what the countryside there is all about
Life is now complete!
Once again a brilliant video, so very watchable..you should be on TV man
This vid is worth watching on a big screen tv. Nice!
Blake your're the best!
Blake, you are awesome, mate :) love your videos. Super fun, and you got so much talent..
This is what I love about riding and camping being able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and just taking everything in
this is why i love adventures on an mtb !
This is where mountain biking is all about. Enjoying your surroundings.
iv just completed bike packing around the isle of wight inspired by this very videoooooooooooooo!
Blake is the best bloke I have seen on any mtb Chanel .. he lives the game and it shows ..
Top class
Love watching this vid around the isle of wight.....
Hats Off to the EDITORS AND BLAKE!
Killer video, recently did a bike pack in central FL and it was a blast. The isle of wight is now on the bucket list.
Blake’s the best!
Amazing! Love it.
My home is the island, and it really does have everything for cycling. For the family, old railway lines converted to paved cycle paths. Bridle ways. Green lanes. MTB tracks. Road cycling along roads without traffic - most of the Island roads (even the back lanes) have been relaid the last few years and make road cycling a joy. Pubs, village shops, tea rooms, there is never a stop far away. If you take a folding bike then they still have comprehensive islandwide bus services if you fancy a one way trip, or don't want to fight the wind on the return.
This could well be the best video GMBN have ever put out, history mistakes aside!
Yoyohanna ah sorry about the queen 👑 thing but thanks. Glad you loved the video
Blake creates such great content
Great adventure!
Really enjoyed that, one of the best videos you guys have done.
Great! Please give us more vids like this! Cheers.
great job blake, loving your work...
Awesome video, loved the history lessons, the cinematic shots and all the other parts. Keep up the amazing work guys.
3:25 what a shot!!!
Great shots, awesome ride. I love backpacking. Great work Blake.
Hope to see some more of bikepacking!
Great to see the IOW on GMBN!!! Ps... The Needles rocket placement is there to test the engines for the UKs first satellite launch. They were launched in Canberra in Australia!
By far the most interesting vids. Love bike packing
This video.........oh my. I just wanna load up my bike and head off now!!!!! Keep these coming guys coz it's just awesome. So psyched.
Where can I get the route?
That's so cool you have a dream job Blake 👍 love this channel
Yhea! More of this with Blake! Great job man!
Nice vid again ❤️
Please, more content like this from Blake. Love it
Absolutely stunning, great video Blake. So badly want to do this now, something else to add to the bucket list.
Awesome video. I really enjoy Blake's energy and attitude. Loved the history lesson and scenery. I enjoy watching everything on gmbn, and would like to see more bike packing trips.
I went to the Isle of Wight with the British Army in the early 2000'S for adventure training..... more like we did plenty of adventure drinking 🤣🤣
It's a beautiful Island 👍
Brilliant especially the afternoon nap that went to the following morning made me chuckle, great vids keep them up.
Got some amazing memories of the Isle of Wight from when I was younger. You're so lucky to live there! Great video!
AMAZING! You made me smile today.
Best video that Blake has done....Nice one.
I really want to give a shot to bike packing when I'm older I love watching bike packing videos especially GMBN
Blake what a place you live so much to do now ive put this on my list of places to go to
Blake’s got great hair ❤I never knew this cause he’s always in a helmet 🪖
Watching this in January, just loving the sunshine!
Thanks mate for showing us your patch of ground, always good to get a locals view of their area.
My favourite GMBN video by far!!
Good job Blake! Really inspirational!
I'm lucky like you to live here. Brilliant video showcasing our wonderful isle..... Nice one

Inspires me to set aside a whole Saturday and see how far I can go round Sydney
Outstanding job! Thanks!!! And my fav tent really. ❤️ it!
These vlogs with Blake are truly awesome! Great host and sense of adventure! Well done man!
Wow!
Awesome edit! I can tell a lot of work went into it and the music synchronization is prime!
Love it!
Such a nice adventure!
The Needles. Very nice place. Ran a half marathon from Freshwater. Awesome race and big elevation gains.
Great video! Thank you for sharing your home with us. The history and beauty are rich there!
This was bloody brilliant
Thanks for sharing this, very cool
Another good one Blake!
Spider was like "Don't be tickling my belly!"
Whenever I see a vid like this it makes me want to go on a bike packing adventure, love it. Bike packing in the UK just always looks great, wish I could be there!
