  • 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.

    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!

    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...

    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?

    • @giantcheerio
      @giantcheerio  Před 11 měsíci +3

      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:)
