In this video I run through my experience of cycling 700KM through France, carrying all of my camping equipment, food and tools from Cherbourg to Calais. Bikepacking and Cycle touring is something that I am very new to, but it’s something I am looking to do more of.

Hey Mumbo! So proud of you! 💪🏼
I've recently watched a project by the German YouTubers Adventure Buddy, Fritz Meineke and PJ Adventure. They took their bikes and went from Berlin, Germany through 7 countries (as far as I remember) to their final destination: Istanbul, Turkey (they've called it "Zerstörungstour 2.0" = "destruction tour 2.0"). Even though the videos are in German, I'd recommend to have a peak into them! Really inspiring pictures. The guys even had similar troubles. AND: pesto pasta was also their go-to meal 😂
It wasn't their first trip (hence the 2.0, there was another one before that), but it was the most recent one. 😅
Might be interesting. 🙂
Edit: I'd recommend Adventure Buddy's videos, I believe these are the most cinematic ones 🙂
Thank You. 😁
IDLES is an amazing exercise band
do you have a flim camera
You should go to the Netherlands, it is the best country for bikes in the world
Seems like a lot of fun
very interesting, started following you on Strava to see the routes you take and your stats. You have some cracking routes, hopefully a series can be made from this.
Not related to cycling however, what is the first song used to soundtrack this video. It is amazing and I'd like to know what it is.
At least I know I am not the only crazy one. I dont do so much of the biking, however, after a full 9 hours at work I spend the next 4-5 hours at the local park (or wherever the wind takes me) jogging 25+ miles a day. Keeps your mind active; don't have to worry about the stress of whats going on; you can enjoy the scenery; and keeps you outta trouble. Its the simple things in life. But in any case, Im proud of the progress you have done. Keep at it.
lmao the most replayed part
Doing a long distance bike ride has been on my bucket list for a long time. Great to hear you've been able to have a great ride!
Congrats! I'm actually happy because a lot of my favorite creators are now cycling (CdawgVa, Abroad in Japan (cycle 800km for 8 days, and for Charity they raised over 300k, also pewdiepie start cycling and many more) as for myself I just start cycling few months ago to change myself, beause I'm pathetic.
Man.. mumbo has lost a lot of weight from this biking thing
Dont now why but i can just listen to Mumbos videos as a podcast instead of wathcing them
Hell yea! Awesome inspiration
If you do it again, you should totally vlog yourself through the experience.
Id love to do something like this someday
Nice compact video. Sounds like if you'd gone Calais to Cherbourg it would have been more of a breeze 😄 What route in France of approx 1000 km would you recommend to a beginner bikepacker?
When I have my leg broke and can’t cycle for the next 3-4 months 😢😢
Wow amazing mumbo
Bro you're litterally doing what i dream about… much love ❤
mumbo you should wear a comically large mustache in a video
Nice setup on the bike! Where can I learn more about the rack in the back? Any discussion I can take part of?
thats crazy, i love cycling but i only do 16 km on weekends, including monday, which is still fun and i would love to start doing longer distances
love you mumbo
what camera did you used for your photos/ those are amazing >)
