I always dreamed of having a bike travel adventure of epic proportions. In Summer of 2022, I started cycling from South Germany to South Spain, covering around 3800 km, crossing through 5 different countries. In this episode, I am pushing my limits of endurance while heading to Monaco.

    After spending the night in the tent on a private field, it was time to keep rolling down south direction Monaco. Reaching Monaco was one of my biggest milestones on this bike touring adventure.
    As soon as I started cycling, I was very low on water so I knew that I had to stop at the supermarket and buy all the things I needed. The next 14 km were anything else but fun, as I was extremely dehydrated, riding a brutal uphill section. I tried my best to stay focused and pacing myself was the key to my success. Later I managed to reach the supermarket where I spent a while to rehydrate myself and relax for the next leg of the journey.
    I met amazing, generous people on the way to Monaco, willing to help me as much as they could. I was overwelmed by their hospitality as they treated me like a member of the family.
    The ride to Monaco was unique… Enjoy watching the video!

    There is a lot to tell and show about this epic bike journey. I’ve had very beautiful and exciting moments but also moments of pain, frustration and misery. Traveling on bike for such long distances teaches you who you really are, what you really want in life and what you are made of.

    1. So amazing! The distances are great but you're nailing each leg, so fun to watch! I have been to Marseilles a few times, and Aix, but never Nice or Monaco so looking forward to that 🙂
      Anyone who says the french are rude are lying, I learned to speak French but even if you try a few words they will welcome you warmly. If not then perhaps not lol! Those late starts must be grueling though wow, By 4PM I would be like, "oh the day is over". Good for you!

    2. Join me on an epic cycling adventure to Monaco. This is the first episode out of 3 showing you my experiences that I've had on the road. Let me know in the comments, what was your favorite part of the video and if you would ever like to ride such distances on a bicycle? 🚲😁

    3. Rural French Folks are so generous and gracious! Hope you invited them to Subscribe! Lol! Loved Nice and Monaco!! Monaco was like something out of a fairytale!!❤️
