Bikepacking France - 800 km in 10 days - fully packed
Hop on, pedal up and let's go!
I have been traveling for such a long time and I needed to set myself a goal. So I took up a little challenge with myself and cycled 800 KM in 10 days.
Join my and my ups and downs along the French coastline from La Rochelle to the boarder of Belgium.
Cheerio, Goodbye, Salut and Adios!

Being almost 62, having had several surgeries on my left knee and not being on a bicycle in almost 15 years, I started biking in March of this year and just hit 1000 miles. You, young lady, truly inspire me!!
It’s hard to watch your videos. Not because they’re bad, because they’re awesome! I’ve never known of a lady so full of life, beauty, adventure and determination. Thank you. Keep on keeping on! X
I watched a few of your videos and all I kept thinking was how brave you are. You must have a beautiful personality to meet and get along with so many strangers, I get too nervous and am mostly not trusting of people I don't know. I hope the trips have been as beautiful as you say because the memories will last a lifetime. I always wonder what it would be like to just take off bike packing even for a month but I am not as brave as you. Stay safe.
Just binge watched your videos. You have a unique energy , love your frank commentary . Just got into bike packing and love it. I'm retired now and planning some long trips over the next few years here in Canada. Looking forward to following your journeys.

Mag alles an deinen Videos. Das Abenteuer, die Videoausschnitte, die Musik, alles.
"i wanted to leave early so noone would see me but then I just decided that I just dont care." Brilliant!!
You're a natural at what you do.. Your smile makes my day 😊
bravo young lady! epic adventure!
Thanks for taking us along, I had a great time.
We love your video!! You made us laugh. " I wanted to leave early so nobody would see me, but then I decided I just didn´t care" 😂 We´re also on a bike tour with no destination in mind, and that is the story of out lives now... Maybe fait will let us bump into each other one day and we can ride together for a bit... Very inspiring to watch you!!!

Would be awesome to share some kilometers:) have a wonderful trip!
Congratulations Cherio, for completing 800km in 10 days. It was quite a challenge! The journey was very nice, with beautiful landscapes.
Gorgeous drone shots!! Keep being awesome!
I love watching your cycling videos. You’re awesome, God bless you and protect you in all your journeys. ☺️
Mt saint mitchell is stunning!
I like your lightheartedness...looking forward to more videos and will probably adapt the just talking into the camera for myself
Thank you for sharing your experience, it's inspiring. You are a tough cookie who goes the extra miles. 10 years ago I stopped drinking coffee which saves me 1 hour per day. Or 20 to 25 Km. Happy cycling!
looks so nice with bikepacking!
Absolutely awe-inspiring. ☀️
Hartstikke leuk gedaan. Succes met de volgende publicaties.
your videos make me want to go back to the road! 🚲🚲🚲💪
Your commentary cracks me up😂 I like how you just go with the flow too, I subscribed 😊
You are awesome. Ride on! Cherio!
Another fantastic video. Keep it going GC!
Well done! 🎉
Brilliant, as always.

Loved watching your journey! looking forward to what´s coming... :)
Awesome job!
Great smile!! Safe travels
Looks like fun❤️
Thanks for your inspiration and determination, I learnt a lot.🙏🏾🙏🏾
I love your videos! So inspiring. What do you do with your bags when you need to get something at a supermarket or so? Do you just leave them outside, or do you bring all of the stuff inside?
Nice video. You are so full of energy.
Wow so inspirational
Cool, dass du das Video endlich fertig geschafft hast! Bin im September auch durch Frankreich gefahren bis zur spanischen Grenze. Viel Spaß und schönes Wetter auf Teneriffa!
Great adventure 😊
Super editing, very funny, great shots too
Your crazy…. I love it!!
Great challenge ! You had got it 👍👍👍
I love your energy, really ,that will be awsome ride with you one day to feel that energy. My self on May going to US ride accross America from NY to LA and spend 6 months there. Joy me to give me that energy for my trip. Very good vid and trip you made,safe travel
Congrats dear 👏👏👏
Great video, very cheerful! You dont call yourself Cherio for no reason! Anyway i enjoy your bike trip reports and hope tp kick my butt to start to do bike camping too. Wish you the best on your journeys
Very cool trip..keep on riding
Enjoyed your video. I appreciate your honesty regarding being a vegetarian and giving in to occasional cravings for meat! I can totally relate. Cheers
Those drone shots of Mont Saint Michel 😍👌 Did something similar a few years ago (from Belgium to near Dijon) but made the “mistake” to go through the Vosges😅
Congratulations my friend 😊 keep pedaling 🚴🚴🚴
Great video 👌👍
A really fab video xx
Super Video. Schöne Reise. Klasse Mädel. 🤩
congrats Cheerio 👏
Thanks
Verry cool, you are a tough one!
Go girl 👏👏👏
Hello, how are you? I'm Alex from Costa Rica, greetings, I just found your channel and I'm starting to watch your videos from the first one, take care of yourself on the roads.
Good edit!👌💯💯👋
4:26 my favourite recovery meal after at least 90km is always a big Schnitzel und eine sehr große Weizen. Calories!

Wow 800:10. Das ist eine tolle Leistung mit Gepäck!! Auch wenn das vielleicht ein bisschen privat ist....wie funktioniert das mit der Toilette, wenn du so in Busstationen übernachtest? Im Wald ist das ja einfach, aber so...???

Hey Cherio come to USA and tour
Kacamata yang bagus untuk berkendara dengan sepeda sepanjang hari.
Very enjoyable video. You shot some beautiful scenery. I read on many websites that wildcamping is illegal in France. Is this true? Is it something that people don't worry about? You seem to manage it without any problems 🙂

Wildcamping is illegal in most European countries. But as long as you find yourself a hidden campsot & leave no trace you should be fine.:)

Maybe someone can help me here, I want to go bikepacking through France, but my biggest concern is always the camping. Can you just pitch your tent anywhere in France? How is it possible to camp by that church or near Mont-Saint-Michel?

Wild Camping is illegal in Most Europe an countries but in my opinion u should be fine when hiding well & of course respect nature & don’t leave any trace! I pitched the tent at saint Michel when it was already dark & woke up before sunrise, so Nobody saw the tent:)
GG ! What's your bike ? :)
J'apprécie beaucoup les cyclistes bikepacking .. pour moi le vélo c'est la vie, mais j'apprécie moins ceux qui ne donnent pas le bon exemple, le port du casque est vital et l'enseigner aux plus jeunes est aussi nécessaire
Hey, I'm sorry if I'm being rude, but I'm just SO curious: how do you manage the showers and just general personal hygiene on the road? Thanks! :)
@giantcheerio
Жыл бұрын
Not rude at all as showering is very important! I use public beach showers, rivers & lakes. And when there is no such thing I use water & my towel for a quick wash !
I want to wildcamp every night like this but I just don't understand how you wake up and have two coffees and then cycle away without being desperate for a shit! Where do you go in the mornings??? Straight to a mcdonalds or cafe? How do you shower?

Wildcamping is illegal is most European countries. I just find a path that leads away from the main roads & pitch my tent behind some bushes :)

Few weeks ago I did a couple rides ~50km on MTB to some beautiful places around my town. Now I'm sure that I should to try bikepacking , cause I feel empty and stuck in every day routine.
