- Hop on, pedal up and let's go!
I have been traveling for such a long time and I needed to set myself a goal. So I took up a little challenge with myself and cycled 800 KM in 10 days.
Join my and my ups and downs along the French coastline from La Rochelle to the boarder of Belgium.
Cheerio, Goodbye, Salut and Adios!

Being almost 62, having had several surgeries on my left knee and not being on a bicycle in almost 15 years, I started biking in March of this year and just hit 1000 miles. You, young lady, truly inspire me!!
It’s hard to watch your videos. Not because they’re bad, because they’re awesome!
I’ve never known of a lady so full of life, beauty, adventure and determination.
Thank you. Keep on keeping on! X
I watched a few of your videos and all I kept thinking was how brave you are. You must have a beautiful personality to meet and get along with so many strangers, I get too nervous and am mostly not trusting of people I don't know. I hope the trips have been as beautiful as you say because the memories will last a lifetime. I always wonder what it would be like to just take off bike packing even for a month but I am not as brave as you. Stay safe.
Mag alles an deinen Videos. Das Abenteuer, die Videoausschnitte, die Musik, alles.
Just binge watched your videos. You have a unique energy , love your frank commentary . Just got into bike packing and love it. I'm retired now and planning some long trips over the next few years here in Canada. Looking forward to following your journeys.
Thaaanks:))) hope you'll have some awesome trips :)))
bravo young lady! epic adventure!
You're a natural at what you do.. Your smile makes my day 😊
Thank you for sharing your experience, it's inspiring. You are a tough cookie who goes the extra miles. 10 years ago I stopped drinking coffee which saves me 1 hour per day. Or 20 to 25 Km. Happy cycling!
I love watching your cycling videos. You’re awesome, God bless you and protect you in all your journeys. ☺️
Thanks for taking us along, I had a great time.
We love your video!! You made us laugh. " I wanted to leave early so nobody would see me, but then I decided I just didn´t care" 😂 We´re also on a bike tour with no destination in mind, and that is the story of out lives now...
Maybe fait will let us bump into each other one day and we can ride together for a bit...
Very inspiring to watch you!!!
Would be awesome to share some kilometers:) have a wonderful trip!
Gorgeous drone shots!! Keep being awesome!
Absolutely awe-inspiring. ☀️
Congratulations Cherio, for completing 800km in 10 days. It was quite a challenge! The journey was very nice, with beautiful landscapes.
I like your lightheartedness...looking forward to more videos and will probably adapt the just talking into the camera for myself
Brilliant, as always.
Hartstikke leuk gedaan. Succes met de volgende publicaties.
So cool, ride safe. Thanks for the vid !
Another fantastic video. Keep it going GC!
"i wanted to leave early so noone would see me but then I just decided that I just dont care." Brilliant!!

I just watched it from the beginning! Every place was amazing and so many experiences along the way! What an amazing journey 🙌
Loved watching your journey! looking forward to what´s coming... :)
You are awesome. Ride on! Cherio!

Cool, dass du das Video endlich fertig geschafft hast! Bin im September auch durch Frankreich gefahren bis zur spanischen Grenze.
Viel Spaß und schönes Wetter auf Teneriffa!
Wow so inspirational
Super editing, very funny, great shots too
Nice video. You are so full of energy.
I love your videos! So inspiring. What do you do with your bags when you need to get something at a supermarket or so? Do you just leave them outside, or do you bring all of the stuff inside?
Thanks for your inspiration and determination, I learnt a lot.🙏🏾🙏🏾
Well done! 🎉
Your crazy…. I love it!!

Great video, very cheerful! You dont call yourself Cherio for no reason! Anyway i enjoy your bike trip reports and hope tp kick my butt to start to do bike camping too. Wish you the best on your journeys
congrats Cheerio 👏
Enjoyed your video. I appreciate your honesty regarding being a vegetarian and giving in to occasional cravings for meat! I can totally relate. Cheers
Those drone shots of Mont Saint Michel 😍👌
Did something similar a few years ago (from Belgium to near Dijon) but made the “mistake” to go through the Vosges😅
Good edit!👌💯💯👋
Schönes Zusammenfassungsvideo!
4:26 my favourite recovery meal after at least 90km is always a big Schnitzel und eine sehr große Weizen. Calories!
I'd go for some French fries & Apfelschorle 🐷💟🍀
Verry cool, you are a tough one!
you are crazy but seem so happy in this one and this makes me happy :)
I like it, I like it 👍👍👍
Great vid.. cute smile... Keep it lit!!
Hello, how are you? I'm Alex from Costa Rica, greetings, I just found your channel and I'm starting to watch your videos from the first one, take care of yourself on the roads.
I have 11 days off in July and am excited to do this as an adventure! just need to find a route! :D
Yeeeeh! Awesome! Enjoy the road wherever it might be! Happy Bikepacking:)))

I’m binge watching your videos as I came across one randomly and now I’m hooked!
What is the make and the model of the bike you’re cycling?
Thanks for your comment! I was riding a Giant comax 1:)
👍👍👍👍👍👍
keep cycling misshello from GREECE
Have enjoy...a long the way ...hi..cherio....from indonesia...
Hello.. lovely lady 🙏 u are amazing cyclist have a safe adventures 🚴♀️ ❤
🎉
Hi, I love your videos, you're so funny and also love the quality! I'm wondering: how are you doingt it with locking your bike and stuff when doing groceries or when charging your stuff at McDonald's? cheers
I lock the bike in front of the store:)
Wow 800:10. Das ist eine tolle Leistung mit Gepäck!!
Auch wenn das vielleicht ein bisschen privat ist....wie funktioniert das mit der Toilette, wenn du so in Busstationen übernachtest? Im Wald ist das ja einfach, aber so...???
Hahaha brillante Frage. Man muss dann schon einpaar Meter gehen, oder man "verdrückt" es eine Weile :D
😀👍🏻
Nice trip! Hey what camera do you use? Best wishes
I used my phone. It's a samsung s 22 ultra. But now i finally got a go pro!
Hey Cherio come to USA and tour
Very enjoyable video. You shot some beautiful scenery.
I read on many websites that wildcamping is illegal in France. Is this true? Is it something that people don't worry about? You seem to manage it without any problems 🙂
Wildcamping is illegal in most European countries. But as long as you find yourself a hidden campsot & leave no trace you should be fine.:)
@@giantcheerio Thanks for your reply. I live in the UK where it's the same. I've wild camped here in quiet locations even though it's illegal. Glad to hear it's not a problem in France. I hope to give it a try 😀
Nice videos, can I ask you which programe you use to map the route? Thank you
I am using Google maps to zoom in & DaVinci resolve for the mapping :)
Hello you are a champ.now.
Ich war in Lille dieses Jahr ... würde yu gern dort radeln .. you are myhero möchte sofort losradeln.. woher bist du in Germany.. all the best enjoy traveling .
J'apprécie beaucoup les cyclistes bikepacking .. pour moi le vélo c'est la vie, mais j'apprécie moins ceux qui ne donnent pas le bon exemple, le port du casque est vital et l'enseigner aux plus jeunes est aussi nécessaire
Cooler zusammenschnitt 👍 schöne Eindrücke von der Fahrradtour 😊 dein Abenteuer mitzuerleben hat Spaß gemacht .
Allzeit gute Fahrt
Maybe someone can help me here, I want to go bikepacking through France, but my biggest concern is always the camping. Can you just pitch your tent anywhere in France? How is it possible to camp by that church or near Mont-Saint-Michel?
Wild Camping is illegal in Most Europe an countries but in my opinion u should be fine when hiding well & of course respect nature & don’t leave any trace! I pitched the tent at saint Michel when it was already dark & woke up before sunrise, so Nobody saw the tent:)
GG ! What's your bike ? :)
Kacamata yang bagus untuk berkendara dengan sepeda sepanjang hari.
Hey, I'm sorry if I'm being rude, but I'm just SO curious: how do you manage the showers and just general personal hygiene on the road? Thanks! :)
Not rude at all as showering is very important! I use public beach showers, rivers & lakes. And when there is no such thing I use water & my towel for a quick wash !
I want to wildcamp every night like this but I just don't understand how you wake up and have two coffees and then cycle away without being desperate for a shit! Where do you go in the mornings??? Straight to a mcdonalds or cafe? How do you shower?
I am not planing to film myself while going to toilet. But I am human, of course I have to to what humans gotta do
Which are the rules for camping in france? How did you find the spot to sleep?
Wildcamping is illegal is most European countries.
I just find a path that leads away from the main roads & pitch my tent behind some bushes :)
hello😊
