- 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.

Bikepacking on the moon. 😉
If you believe they put a man on the moon...🎵
The etymology of Montsec comes from the Latin 'montem sectum' and refers to the verticality of Montsec, translating as sectioned mountain or cut mountain.
I see, thank you for the proper info! 😊
Another nice video Davide. Hope your tendon is improving.
Thank you George. It’s all good now 😊
That must've been weird. It's cold, but at the same time the views look like in the summer
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!
I crossed Poland in December 2021. It was nice but yeah it was pretty cold!
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.
@@Cycle-TourerThan you would love to see the green landscape of Basque Country, Cantabria, Asturias and Galicia between the spectacular Picos de Europa and the wild Atlantic Coast! This looks a bit llike Canada.
@@DavideTravelliThe green Sierra de Cazorla Segura y las Villas in Andalucia, near Desierto de Gorafe, is also very beautiful and spectacular. I had been wandering there and there is also a trail for biking. Maybe an idea for a later tour in Andalusia
@@luisamarie9387 no journey follows a continium. I wont be back in Andalusia. Also I've done Cazorla: czcams.com/video/JqOaN7EjX6c/video.html
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.
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 😅
Was it cold?
😅
non riesco a capire perche metti il titolo in italiano e parli inglese, metti direttamente in inglese
È in Inglese, è il tuo CZcams che è settato in lingua Italiana e ti da la traduzione.
@@DavideTravelli forse ti sbagli, se cè qualcuno nei commenti che può confermare , come leggete il titolo del video in italiano o in inglese ?
@SBLATTERS l’ho pubblicato io, saprò in che lingua ho scritto il titolo e la descrizione 😅
io vedo questo titolo: Cold and Pain in Catalunia (però sono stato pagato da Davide per scrivere questo, la vuole sempre avere vinta) 😂
@ferruccio4531 giustamente ho soldi da buttar via 😅
