You are so lucky and blessed to be able to ride and make this happen. I ride daily just around town and to get around because our Kats bus system isn't so good. It works but the buses and stuff are falling apart and such a noisy ride. Keep going sweet Katie. God Bless, love this for anyone to do it. Wish I could but I am disabled and no finances to afford to do so. We are a low income family barely making ends meet. But Thank You for sharing these video trips with us.

When you are done with the European mountains you should definitely come to Western Canada (Alberta & British Columbia) and climb the Rockies. You will see more rocks/mountains than you care to…and altitudes that will challenge you mightily…a match made in heaven for you. 😃 Take care Trevor

I have loved this little series of videos and well done you. Love to see more of the same. Seeing as though you asked, in France there are two types of baguette, a `baguette traditional` by law can only have the four ingredients you mentioned, has to be made on site with fresh dough and nothing else added. A `baguette ordinaire` is the mass produced type that you can buy in a supermarket with additives etc.

That rascally mind of yours has been plotting two of the most awe-inspiring bike touring trips straight out of my own bucket list, the Dolomites and the tour of Switzerland! At some point this is going to happen for you, I can feel it already! This, _this was great_ ; it was truly awesome, it was poignantly touching and heart-warmingly inspiring. The whole idea of prepping, travelling and riding on your own, that takes a lot of courage, I admire that about you! Best part to me was the very tail of the whole journey where you essentially realised that you couldn't live separated from _them mountains_ , you had to be up there to breathe that crispy altitude air, crush the hard, sloped miles and gaze intently at them views. A shudder instantly shook me in agreement with you, I might know what that feels like, _I crave that too._ Thank you for making us forget how insensitive and brutal life can and will often be by turning all the darkness out there into light, the greyness into vivid colours like green and blue and gold; the shallowness into meaning and motivation, the sadness into joy. We praise your strenght and We treasure your courage, We are all so very _proud of you;_ Thank you for what you do, _Thank you for being you._ 🌄🏞🚵♀️ 🌥⛅🌤☀️🌞🌝 😄😁🙂 = ]

It was the best thing I have done, bought me a group of friends which last a life time and renewed passion for cycling. Many trips since!
