EPISODE #66
This is the final episode from our cycling trip across Spain. We are in the cyclist mecca of Girona… this place really is Disneyland for cyclists. There’s cafes and patisseries everywhere, bikes shops on every corner and the roads are just simply incredible…
We spend two days checking out everything that the city has to offer. After wanting to visit here for a very long time… I’m finally here and I couldn’t be happier! It really is an incredible place.
On day 1 we head out to a lovely town called Banyoles… on route we stop at the famous Haribo factory, because you have to… and then on day 2 we take on a very famous climb on the outskirts of Girona, called Els Angels… what a stunning climb. Unfortunately, things didn’t end the way we had hoped and we end up taking a bit of a slide on the tarmac, which wasn’t fun at all! In fact that was my first time having a crash like that… and I really didn’t enjoy it! Haha!
But overall it didn’t put too much of a damper on the trip, we really had an amazing time… thanks so much to the guys for making it so memorable.

  1. Daym bro that crash was terrible. I’m glad you’re both ok though. As far as future trips go, somewhere in Asia would be awesome. Japan, Taiwan, China, South Korea just to throw out some suggestions.

  2. Being no stranger to gravel rash over my years of cycling, I can sympathise buddy.
    Shit happens and usually quickly, but you guys there for each other and nice that members of the public checked you were both ok.
    Three superb videos giving a massive insight into an epic trip. Keep up all the good work and all the best for the coming season. Tel.

  3. im not even kidding when i say that everytime i watch your videos, i get a sudden urge to want to go out to cycle for myself, such great quality and good vibes always. great video as alwys keep it up!

  4. Respect to both, heavy crash that one. Some feeling hitting the floor, no idea how hard you’ve hit the deck and just takes it out of you a little. Well played both ! Scary times with shit on the floor. 😊

  5. You love Haribo on your rides? Let's meet in Bonn, Germany and I take you to the original Haribo Factory Shop. (Haribo is named after it's founder HAns RIegel from BOnn)

  6. re-watching this, on my kickr bike, window open, as wet heavy snow falls in Toronto. longing to go back 🥺Also phone footage looks great. EDIT: so sorry to see the crash. glad you're both ok

  7. This series was brilliant, really enjoyed the format! Apart from everything that has already been said I wanted to suggest a place for some epic rides and filming – Gran Canaria. Most people think of Tenerife when talking of Canary island, but believe me Gran Canaria offers so much to ride and enjoy in terms of scenery, food and culture.

  8. Thanks for sharing these videos through out Spain. With a possible move that way, it is good to see the different ride options! Stay safe and hope that you healed ok.

  9. Thanks for sharing your videos they’re captivating…. I’m really sorry you two fell on that wet corner, ouch 😓 I’m glad you guys were okay… watching your videos with a smile from ear to ear, they’ve beautifully fun….I hope you keep riding and sharing your fun bike adventures, what a dream😊ride and be safe …
