Attempting to cycle 2700km across a continent in 3 weeks - Velo Iberia
"You don't 'find yourself' on trips like this, you build yourself"
Wise words uttered by Tim as we lugged our tired and sodden carcasses across the northern reaches of France. The fourth in the 'Velo' bikepacking series by Friction Collective, Velo Iberia sees 3 mates and a guest appearance fly to Porto, Portugal and cycle the entire 2700km back home to Bristol, UK.
Crossing the soggy Portuguese hills, into the barren plains of northern Spain and across the frankly daunting Pyrenees, the journey was fraught with mechanicals, lack of sleep, belly laughs, frozen bivvy spots and incredible scenery.
By far our hardest journey so far, this is Velo Iberia.

Kickstarter is a wonderful place for businesses to grow incredible ideas really quickly, unfortunately over the years it's also grown to be a place where video goes to die.

To properly capture the beauty of when foreground trave...

    I live (and cycle) in Portugal so it was really interesting to see all the places you passed through. I used to do a lot of rides with friends here and the best thing is always the banter and when things go horribly wrong. You captured that really well. Singing on the bike, wanting to give up, eating crap food, only to do it all over again.

    Beautiful calmimg video. I hate cold water showers, find them really difficult as the water isnt comstant - but cold water plunge pools I love. Not one near me at local gym so i do cold baths. Im cautious about wild swimming as immunocompromised so riskier. But would love too. Cold water gives you a sense of mental strenth for doing it as well as all the physical effects. BUT - top tip please don't go wild swimming alone unless (or honestly even if) you're very experienced especially if its colder water or tides. And get medic advice if immunocompromised too.

    Laura, do it without the wet suit and hat. You will get much more out of it. I am 74 and started three years ago. Same climate as yours. Ocean and lakes, year around but no wet suit. I dive under. Also, if you go for three months on the lion or carnivore diet, you will heal completely.
