Cycling through Mexico Alone
Cycling through Mexico Alone // Cycling to Argentina EP16
After an emotional separation, I cycle alone into the Mexican desert and continue south through the Sierra Madre Oriental. Struggling through rugged trails, sketchy encounters, and the weight of suddenly being on my own, I keep pushing on. Gradually discovering that the kindness of strangers might just help me find my way again.

Dude. Turn your bike around go back and marry that absolute legend of a woman! Seriously she just spent a year riding a bike with you non stop!!! I mean wow! Now just let her do whatever she wants. Follow her dream with her and if that’s making babies and getting married do it! Then just slot in your other stuff around her. I promise you will regret riding away from her for the rest of your life. Take it from a 52 year old with a lot of miles under his belt. A woman like that is a one in a lifetime adventure!!!!
Glad to hear from you and get an update, there were a lot of us wondering where you are and how you are faring. Hope to see more of your adventures through Central and South America soon.
I could not handle all those mosquitos.
Finally got around to watching this properly and wow. This isn’t just your best video, but one of the best travel videos I’ve ever seen fullstop, and I’ve watched quite a lot of travel CZcams! This is fully like a movie; the narrative arc you crafted, the evocative but not distracting music, literally everything was as perfect as I could imagine a video to possibly be. I can’t imagine how much time this took to edit! The health scare on the side of the road in such a remote place sounds pretty terrifying and I’m so glad you got help. The little credits content of your family and life back at home is really more powerful than you think. We can see where/who you come from now, and that’s really connecting for us viewers. And the final shot being a callback to Victoria saying to the viewer (and you Greg) ‘hey, i love you ok’ is THE most perfect way you could’ve ended this. Stunning
So sorry about you and Victoria 😢
Sweet video, thanks for sharing the ups and the downs.
Te deseo mucha suerte amigo, los cambios siempre son buenos. Sigue tu camino y no dejes que nada ninadien te opaque, sonríe siempre, y recuerda que la vida, es lo más frágil, y valiosa que tenemos vivela feliz, y sanamente...
Nothing like some daily suffering on a fully loaded mountain bike to help you recover from a rough break up .
Loved your story and adventure video! ❤
beautiful video greg
Happy to see another update. We're all rooting for you! Thanks for being a proper inspiration.
You had to hit us again at the end of the video.lol....when you rode away crying at the beginning I was like go back mate.....but I know y'all will be together again.
Best of luck to you, Greg! Your and Victoria's videos have been so wonderful to watch. Stay safe!!
Thank you Greg and I mean it. I have always wanted to do the thing you had done yet couldn’t find the courage to do so. Whenever I feel like I am suffocating in this civil life, I watch this series which you kindly shared with us. I wish the best for you and Victoria!
I did not expect to watch a 40-minute video of a person traveling by bike, but I enjoyed it so much that I could not stop. As usual when I watch anything I like, I would like to invite the person who made me happy to be a Muslim like me. I wish you all the best in your upcoming trips, and we are waiting for you.
WOW that was a ride! Great to see you back on the trail. Best wishes from New Zealand
Puedes hacerlo, pronto retomaras tu proposito... Animo 🤟🏼 Y a webo que se puede
☮
😢
Truly a beautiful video and a beautiful soul. Much love to both you and Victoria regardless of where the life journey takes you. Even though I'm secretly hoping it will bring you back to each other down the road! Keep following your heart, Greg! ❤
the ending was so perfect 😭🙏🏻
love u greg ❤
you are a good man
why they always gotta leave u with that kinda thing like if u loved my then why r u leaving me idk i just feel u a lot brother
This would make a good audible😊
Dude! So glad to see an update! Living vicariously through ya.
This reminds me of a great philosophy that there is no greater sight than seeing a man/woman facing adversity. This was so much more than a biking video. Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable chapter.
Obviously your documentary of your journey leaves out many aspects of your journey, but Victoria seemed like a great fit for you, so i truly hope you and her will find your ways back to each other once you will find you're done with your adventure(s).
Hey! She said that she love U!
So Brave! So beautifull to see! Thank you for sharing! ❤️🙏🏻😘
omg ... online drama.
Just discovered your channel and hadn't met Victoria and seen any of the adventures you shared together, but I will go back and watch those, however, this was was a pleasure to watch, due to your honest sharing and videography, you really put together a great video which captured not only your emotions, but the people and places you travelled through which were so beautiful. Thanks for sharing your story.
fuck this series makes me cry
Lone WOLF bro! find a wolf pack and do what wolfs do in mexico! I mean don't get hit by cars or eat poison but yeah.
Just caught your videos. So sad when you carried on without Victoria that I really don't want to go back and watch knowing what I now know so I'll look forward to catching up with you after your trip home. Will you be making any videos there? Claudie/Texas
I like Iohan as much as anyone but vandalizing everywhere you go with stickers isn't how to honour him.
I’ve been on my own alone for decades and I can relate to your recent dialogue. For me now it’s an accepted life style 😀🙏❤️
Glad you are sticking with it Greg. Enjoy watching both of you on your journeys.
Greg you are such an inspiration thanks especially for your courage and your dedication ❤️❤️❤️
Big fan Love Your story If You ride past Guadalajara Would love to meet
I was sad to see Victoria leave, you were charming together, however, I believe in your potential! I've been following you since the beginning and I know you'll reach Argentina! I'm from Brazil and if you want to visit, you'll have a place to stay here! good luck and have a good trip! Don't forget to post videos!
Thank you for sharing your stories in the way you do. Looking forward to seeing the next chapter of your adventure!
Love your work and your gentle soul.
Well I cried laughing at the guy with the 2 kids ‘Alaska!!!’. Journeys contain so many elements and you show them all, the good and not so good. Sending you both peace and happiness in the future. Remember the good times. This is the best cycle touring series and there are some very good ones. Thank you for everything 🙌
What a tuff time for you Greg, really feel with you throughout the whole video which was nevertheless a pleasure to watch. Hope you find again the good spirits and energy on the road! 🙏
Hola Gregorio, What an amazing adventure you are living! I feel so sad to learn about your (and Victoria's) breakup. Keep on and keep on.... while it may seem like all is lost at times, you both will find the strength and joy you both deserve! I cant wait til your next episode! Sending you love! ❤️ 🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴
Greg, you are crazy man. I mean it in a very good way. You first summary video was amazing and now this one. I was fascinated and couldn't move my eyes away from the screen. I can't wait to watch the next part. It is exactly like watching your favourite series and waiting for the next season. I personally like to watch the whole season fully and wait for the next one rather then watch short episodes. Amazing work. Keep it up amigo. By the way, your video inspired me so much that I also created a video about my bike trip and uploaded it to CZcams. It is not an off the beaten path adventure like yours but rather a one week cycling trip through the Dolomites in Italy. Once again. You are amazing and I loved the video. Thank you
Good man🤜🏻🤛🏻
Really tough Greg, but time heals and as you said this journey was your dream. Cracking on with it will be therapeutic and the challenge will focus your mind. Take your time, stay safe.
Greg those people showed you love and kindness because that is what you exude. You did very well getting to Mexico City and getting home for family and weddings. Well done.
Wow Greg. What an amazing video. You have is all hooked. Can’t wait to see where you go next. I have traveled many dirt roads in Baja and the people are all beautiful in Mexico.
I live in Mexico City, I hope we can meet when you come back. I also feel attracted by bikepacking, I want to do it, though I feel a little afraid to try.
