  • Cycling the world - Europe: 140 episode
    Journey with me through the raw elements of Catalonia in this first episode of the Montsec Bikepacking Loop. Starting in the quaint village of Ponts, near Barcelona, I face the harsh realities of winter bikepacking - the biting cold, the enveloping fog, and the unrelenting pain. Witness how I navigate through these challenges, from seeking refuge in an old farmhouse to combat the chilly nights, to dealing with the unexpected agony of a stiff saddle and a throbbing Achilles heel. Despite the adversities, the stunning landscapes of Catalonia provide a backdrop that makes every pedal stroke worth the struggle. This isn't just a bike ride; it's a battle against the elements and a true test of resilience and determination.

    The etymology of Montsec comes from the Latin 'montem sectum' and refers to the verticality of Montsec, translating as sectioned mountain or cut mountain.

    That must've been weird. It's cold, but at the same time the views look like in the summer

    • @DavideTravelli

      Not really. In the Summer the trees have leaves, and the fields are drier

      @@DavideTravelli it looks weird for me as I'm from Poland and there if it's not summer or spring you rarely see any sun
      And also everything is so green and beautiful here in the video!

    The landscape looks much interesting than Montañas Vacías.....

      They are both interesting in their unique way.

      Montañas Vacías looks very similar to my country, Israel. And this one is different. Anyway many parts in south and central Spain is very similar to Israel. Same landscape, Same climate, Same flora, Same sea, and similar latitude... Of course the northern part of Spain is completely different. And that's why it's much interesting me.

    ciao Davide, sarà anche freddo ma io ti invidio lo stesso.
    ti è passata la tendinite?
    se posso chiedere, che nuova app di navigazione hai installato e perché? pensavo Komoot fosse imbattibile.
    alla prossima.

      @DavideTravelli  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Si con il Meloxicam l'ho tenuta a bada e poi dopo un paio di settimane a riposo e' passata.
      Stavo provando RideWithGPS ma e' troppo costosa. Komoot hanno deciso di aggiungere minchiate inutili invece di sistemare i problemi. E poi comunque design tedesco che capiscono solo loro 😅
