We are very excited to start the adventure with you from the beginning. 🤗
Woohoo. Great Video. Looking forward to many more!
Following you on your world tour from Mizoram, India. Subscriber #235 🙂
Sure, that was too long a distance for a first day, all your body has to get accustomed to this new situation. Nice adventure in perspective!
We met on the road in van, Turkey. We were 2 bicyclists. We look forward to when it will arrive.
You will get in better shape each day. And I have found that one hour of cycling before noon is worth two hours of cycling afternoon
For the gravel and sand. Let go of the grip a little bit, leave your arms relaxed and yet firm it´s normal to slide or off track a little bit. Also, specially on the sandy parts, keep your head up and your gears easy and pedal hard in a high ratio.
Viel Erfolg auf eurer Reise – looking foward to your journey. Little tip for long bike tours and back and butt pain – seatholder suspension, with that you won´t feel gravel roads that much and your spine won´t ache. 😃
Carry only what is needed
Brooks B15 saddles and
Padded shorts and your bottoms will thank me
Also use electrolytes in your water
Schöne erste Episode! Viel Spaß beim weiter Schneiden 😉

When was this trip recorded? It was uploaded 8 days ago which is mid to late November but the weather seems more like summer or early fall. When is the next leg?
Are you dropping some tire pressure for the squishy parts? You’ll want to put it back for pavement, but it’ll be worth the time & effort. You just get more grip & control on gravel, mud & sand with softer tires.
How soft will depend on the quality of the surface, your tires, your bikes, your loaded weights, to some extent your level of experience & skill, etc.
Good luck w/ it.
👍
Hi travelers, we wish you a very nice and enduring Journey. We will be starting in December our biking around Sicily, as yours, this one will be the first longer Journey with bikes. Love your video, nice and funny. Safe travels and best regards <3
Go for good gravel bike with good tyres, a soft comfortable seat, pinion gearbox with gates belt drive, good start, GOOD LUCK
Wow 90km on the first day without any training – kudos! Glad you made it and didn't give up! I do a lot of Sunday tours (80-110km), but when cycling multiple days, I start with 60ish… and that even with much less baggage. I hope you'll find your rhythm and Arev will feel more comfortable on the bike each day!
some advice reduces your load to half you will thank me when the hills begin
2 weeks with no hills… paradise!
Cool
If you need adavice about setups and gear just ask
Well done guys… it will all work out I promise you!!
Are you saying you are homeless?
Here's a hint: don't look where you don't want to go!
Your body will move towards the place you're looking at and saying (aloud or otherwise) "I don't want to go there!"
So always keep your eyes focused on there you WANT to be, not where you don't! 😀
For not having ridden much distance, doing over 90 K on your first day is an amazing accomplishment!
I'll also be utilizing Warm Showers on my trip. So far, to date, I've actually hosted twice! So great to hear the adventures and advice of people who are out there doing what I want to do! Great video! Keep them 'real' like this the whole way through! Tchuss!
I'm two months away from finally starting my ride around the world! I will criss-cross the U.S., E to W, then W to E to NYC and jump across the 'big water' to Ireland and continue.
Stay safe!
You'll be surprised how much wattage will increase in your legs. You'll get stronger all the time.
90 km on your first trial day is really a lot! Many people would've hit their "wall" by then. As you get going on your trip I'm sure you'll find the right rhythm and right distance. This will always change based on weather, terrain, road conditions, and interesting things to see that take some time away from the bike. That's what makes it so very much fun. — I look forward to catching up on the rest of your videos, then following you on your journey.
What’re you using for navigation/map, route finding, and cyclo comp?
I appreciate your videos. I took am not an athlete, but my plans are to cycle the Romantic Road and along the Rhine.
Wow super pour une première journée !
Love the orange bike my favourite colour ,🎉
