    I hope you enjoy our scenic bicycle touring documentary film and it makes you want to do one too! We practised in England with a couple of longer day tours, approx. 50 miles or so in a weekend then just went for it. Thankfully our jobs allowed us a 4 month sabbatical, the perfect amount of time to cycle to the edge of Asia, Istanbul!

      Hello, I'm planning to do a solo trips splitted in two – from Lisbon to Istanbul starting from 1st May 2021 and later from Istanbul to Bishkek. And I have a question on preparing to the trip (of course If you don't mind answering – it would be awesome and really helpful). How did you managed to fight saddle soars, these Brooks saddles you had – helped?

      Hey! I did UK to Athens solo last year along the Rhine and then down the Adriatic coast. It was totally cool. I even have the same tent as you two! 🙂 MSR rocks! Congratulations to you both! Looking at doing the Baltic Eurovelo route in 2021 if I can! Keep on pedalling 🙂

      Looks amazing! How do you follow the Eurovelo routes? And are the eurovelo routes all paved? I'm thinking about riding a eurovelo route 🙂

      Great video. And fantastic footage for just the two of you! Must’ve been a whole lot of running back and forth. How many miles were you doing a day? And which was your favourite country to cycle through? Planning on doing something similar with my partner if the restrictions ease off ❤️

      Hi Mat, just re-watched your video again, always brings me a smile. I am onleave and had planned to cycle to London this week end, planned to stay in Travelodge, but was advised they are only open for essential workers only 🙁 dang. I was also checking to see if your "movie" version was out. Hmm I guess local trips for now (Brighton to Eastbourne).

      Your video is so stunning, no words needed… By far the best video i ever seen on YT, love it. Cheers from Zurich (and Cologne ;-))…"Toni"

      A great journey. How did you get back home? On bicycles or otherwise?
      PS. I do not envy you for the political correctness that prevails in Britain, but I certainly do envy you that you managed to leave the neo-Marxist EU. Regards, Pole from Sydney.

      Absolutey incredible. Very tasteful editing on the video, by the way – it's really all about the images…. What a dream. Thanks for putting a smile on a fellow traveler's face.

      (And also, congrats on those 5000+ Kms 😀 )

      My best compliments. I wonder, what’s about passport control up to Turkey, how do you handle that? I mean, are you crossing any border chrckpoint? Thank you.

    45. Benn on
