[ArcticToAtlantic]

Thank you all for your positive feedback! I never anticipated this amount of attention. I’m truly overwhelmed; just wanted to give something back to the community. Hope that it helps in the preparations of others. I need a bit more time for the following episodes (I expect two or three more!). But for now: enjoy episode 3!

This is an adventure not to be missed. What you do is incredible. Greetings. 👍

[dirkkindermann]

Again a gem amongst many videos about bikepacking. Seeing you crossing Hamburg, where I live and the region of my childhood between Blomberg and Paderborn makes me smile 😊
You are doing a great tour with lots of inspiration for my future rides 🙏

[berndwintjen]

Tolle Videos, tolle Reise, vielen Dank 😊

[RedfieldmediaCoUk]

This so inspiring. I’ve been thinking of doing an adventure like this. Walking the PCT or some cycling adventure. I’d do it with the other half. Impressed with your English 👍

very motivating ... I need to get out when the spring comes.

[richardhudsonescapades]

Thank you for sharing your epic adventure, a real tonic to distract from the depths of winter especially because in the UK this week I'm confined to the turbo trainer due to lots of snow and ice. Looking forward to seeing the next

[dachsdk]

Fantastic viewing, I only wish you would show more of both camps and surroundings. It all goes so fast.

[ThePapawhisky]

Really enjoying the videos. I’m planning to do the EDT next year, so I’m watching and learning.

[DeanosTwilight]

Looks Epic, hoping for an equipment and costs video once you've finished editing your ride. Wondering what date you set out, could you have avoided all of that rain?

[sjogum]

Zou tof zijn om zo nu en dan een kaart te zien met jullie voortgang. Dan krijgen we nog meer gevoel met de reis denk ik!

[billybigbollox]

I wanted to do the trail this year but won’t be able to get 3 months off work. I would rough it though, I can’t afford the luxury you guys can. Great trip, well documented. Thanks.

[cybermanne]

You should have made the slight detour to Skagen when you went by it. It's a special place.

[edwinhuizinga]

Prachtig verslag van een epische tocht! Hebben jullie al plannen voor volgend jaar ... ?

[Amelia-uq]

Great video! I am Amelia from HITWAY, an ebike brand, we want to cooperate with you, are you interested?
