Oh Oh Good morning good morning I had a very good night rest last night it was um very quiet even though the music was playing in the background I fell asleep because I was extremely tired there is the bike now fully packed once again today I’m going to head towards per but

It’s 200 km to reach there so I won’t make it today that’s for sure I will keep on riding until I have a good opportunity to flight so come with Me I arrived in this beautiful Park here not very far away from the shore where I was uh biking to to reach this Harbor here and um I just tried to take off with the Drone but I am in an authorization Zone I am on a very nice

Trip of land surrounded by on left side and right side of by water and we have been really really nice to show you this I’m going to head again to a bicycle store because I still didn’t have gloves and I want to buy them because Spain is

Going to be much hotter than France or relatively hotter than France I’m not sure if you can see the skin difference from there to there yeah the bicycle shop is now closed for another hour and I have the whole time this sound this squeaking sound of the trailer in the background

And I hear it the entire time and it’s really disturbing me so I am using now the entire time to unscrew the trailer and maybe this is why it’s uh squeaking like this I’m going to clean this and oil it and this two and hopefully I’m going to make it

Uh good again I’m going to make the sound disappear cuz it’s really annoying okay I am now in the shop finally Giant and I found my best gloves that I could buy I tested so many but now finally I got some let’s see maybe I can make

Another 80 km today so hit my 100 let’s see ready for the road once again look at this I set already my solar panel once again to charge my drone and also my power bank uh the other power bank is hooked to the phone these are the gloves now

Looking pretty good I can say I’m going to be finally protected by the sun time to leave melier and hit the wide open roads H Push push oh okay okay okay thank you fighting against the wind once again I am still very far away from pero maybe I have another hour of riding and then I have to pitch up my tent I have with me now 12 L of water I am

Planning to cook tonight whatever I have left still keeping on uh riding until I find a place and check on you then hey guys look at the color on my face the Sun Ray hitting me the last Sun raise for today I found this place

Here maybe to pitch up my tent for the night it’s a bit unusual but anyway that’s the best I can uh I can find and just look at that Sunset oh my God wooo Beautiful I am really going to spend my night here anyway for now I am charging here my drone my phone and I’m also cooking at the side of the road this is the Beach Road and I’m just cooking now some um pasta with some pesto onions garlic I

Think this is wild camping in its uh definition the cooking is going good it’s going good now the sauce about to cook properly I already seasoned it the pasta is here there were two nice guys who just wanted to know about me and what I am doing and where I’m traveling I’m

Going to start eating now and then go to bed peace out guys good Night Yeah good morning guys I woke up now for 2 hours and um I packed up my stuff pretty quick this time in the morning now it’s the ride to pero 130 km going to happen today I’m going to try to reach it so um let’s see how far I go

But I won’t stop for nothing else more than Maybe maybe buying some food and drinks so come with me I am faced yet again with a challenge which is this gate in front of me the stupid GPS that I’m using Google Maps I choose every time the path for the

Bicycles right I do not know and I cannot know when exactly on this route that it showed in the GPS when I could encounter such such a thing it’s obviously it’s not there written and it happen so many times already to get locked doors in front of me locked Gates

Luckily I have here somebody who also stepped and made the path I can come out right this freaking gate is closed this is costing me so much time to take now the bags from sides off I have to take the trailer off first in order for me to move move the

Bike Jesus Christ unbelievable going to move these bags across move the bike through this narrow place and now this which is really really really heavy yes now I got everything I have now to attach it again to the bike and continue my journey and hopefully it’s not going to be

Another gate in front of me did I just say that I hope it’s not going to have any closed gates in front of me well it’s not a gate but it’s a fence just look at this look at this stupid GPS where it sent me

Look at this of course I mean I know the GPS cannot know that I am fully loaded and I have a parag glider with me but Jesus Christ when I type in bike pads I don’t want to be sent through the freaking jungle well that will do it I will put

It back though the fence is back how it was before now let’s go to the next challenge let’s see what is going to happen as next and guess what is ahead of me not even a minute after I left another fence it’s just I cannot

Believe I mean I can open it that it says that you should put the back the barrier back okay toss on the ground okay move around move around carefully and now take the barrier and put it back back uphill I still have 90 km to

Go and I took the cars route which which is uh yeah climbing up but it’s also sure and safe in terms of uh not anym getting blockades in front of my in front of the way who knows what else I could encounter if I take the bicycle

Path is really really hot once again I have enough food and water with me which of course adds to my weight it makes the climb even more exhausting anyway that’s where I’m coming from ah and uh I almost reach now the peak of this road it’s 2:30 now so I still have 6

Hours to ride until I have to look for a place to sleep it’s in the evening again I found a nice place which I hope I will also be able to sleep at it is uh in lucat I think it’s pronounced I’m not sure it’s close to

Perp Pera is 50 km away now and uh I am actually now trying to Camp uh at a paragliding takeoff site close to the Sea which it’s a soaring site nothing too high uh above the beach and I still have 20 5 km to reach there I come from

There down the hill up the hill down the hill and I am now going up the hill it’s looking like on camera you cannot even see but yeah it really goes nicely up uh to break my legs for the last 16 km before I arrive my uh I arrive at my

Destination as usual I survived I survived that Hill too and now we are close woo I am now just 1 kilometer away from my destination wo and I have really have to watch out how I’m riding here the nature is really beautiful around me nobody here and this a country

Road but uh it’s pretty good for the bicycle considering the fact it’s not so far anymore and the smell in the air is so nice from this pine trees from these cones oh my gosh it’s really delicious let’s see how the night develops and if I will pitch up my tent

Where I just sleep in my uh sleeping bag in the grass okay I am now walking with the bike because because it’s almost impossible to ride on it I mean without the trailer might be possible yeah but uh with the trailer not that easy oh look at the sunset oh boy that’s

Beautiful yeah I still have uh 10 minutes with the bike pushing like this until I reach my destination that’s how I also had to push in the night when I went to that uh notam da uh Monument you know statue but in the night and it was even

Worse than this where I had to detach the trailer look for example here is going to be a good place to camp in case I don’t know I won’t be able to Camp there not easy not easy I sometimes pick up places that are so hard to reach but

I don’t know that they are so hard hard to reach that’s the problem even when I zoom in on the map and I look at the places they don’t look as bad as they really are in real life that’s the Problem There is no better way to show you the place than by the Drone that’s how beautiful is this place around I’m going to look for a place now to camp and um call it a day Out it’s a new morning here is my parag glider and charging my batteries once again cap is already on my head sun is burning as usual and my bike is right there now I’m actually waiting for the wind to change directions because um initially that’s

The reason why I even uh took course to this Cliff here to this place the takeoff site is just 500 M away from here going to try to see if I can maybe ask at this house if I can maybe fill my bottles of water and um also wash myself

I don’t know I will try I will try I feel again like a reborn child oh my gosh it was so good Madame excuse well I see she’s not there anymore but I want to let her know that I am done so she can close the water

From there but yeah anyway now it’s all about waiting to see if I can fly I’m going to try to stay in shade somewhere look like the wind started picking up now 15 kilm per hour I know you can’t see anything right now I’ve also seen

The birds saring around so you can feel it already that is much better I cannot carry the paraglider and not fly that’s impossible that’s makes makes no sense I could as have as well just left it home you know if I just keep on riding riding

Riding okay let’s go let’s give it a shot down on down the Way
