Great to meet Matt in the cafe. We are the two sat behind. Im not the one stuffing my face, honest.

Matt is absolutely hilarious brilliant content again.

Thank you. We are glad you enjoyed it! Lots more to come...

I’m here because anything Matt does on the bike is worth watching😊 I like the Ortlieb gravel front panniers I use on my Trek Checkpoint 4 when I go bike packing. Better than rear panniers because there’s less weight on the back wheel if you hit a pothole and better than a handlebar bag because the weight is lower down and you can see exactly where the front wheel hits the road. I do use the Ortlieb seat pack with the plastic saddle clamps for clothes, which are light and it’s as sold as a rock.

Can I just ask how do you mount the front panniers? I have the same bike as you but have not found a good pannier rack option...

‘Lightweight mat’ as they were talking about what they’d packed was a missed opportunity for a great pun.

"Well I'll have eggs scrambled then, thanks" 😁 Actually, it's not a bad idea to have premix eggs, and a bit of salt in a container/bottle to take with you on a simple overnighter.

I'm not into bike-packing or gravel rides, but Matt is so engaging that I watched (and enjoyed) anyway.

Cheers for this, Matt is so entertaining, don’t tell him it’ll go to his head 😂.

Thank goodness for GCN, otherwise we might not have met Matt.🎉

I was just hiking in the Lake District, coming from Canada we laughed hard in the grocery store when we found the Jammie Dodgers. They do exist!

So sensible to have a Consultant Paediatrician looking after Matt Stephens 🤣🤣🤣 Lots of fun to watch.

Got this as an ad on a youtube video, I'm quite new to gravel cycling and made me feel encouraged and represented! Cheers!

That's awesome. Appreciate the feedback. Enjoy your cycling 😃

I long for beautiful cycling paths and countryside like this. It looks amazing.

Great advert for Parsley Hay that; 15 quid thats a bargain :D

Fantastic Matt and Phoebe wow what a cracking time you guys had?...Nice part of the country to go exploring on bikes too.Thanks for the video.

As Arthur Dent would attest, always keep a towel handy. One can’t go wrong with that bit of information, Matt.

Matts laugh is just infectious, great vid.

09:29 "or just outside Croydon" What the heck, how did you know where I was?! Loving this content by the way. So good! Matt and Phoebe you're hilarious.

Brilliant!👍

So love Matt in vids like this.

Thanks! Will do!

Love seeing Matt! And I can never get enough bikepacking starter tips. I've ridden around 600 miles in three bikepacking trips so far. I carry sleep and shelter always but have only tarped one night so far -- at a reserved campground. My biggest hurdle is starting out target fixated on my destination and overly optimistic daily targets making go out too strong, riding too long into the night, never seeing a good, safe, secret spot to tent followed by caving; getting Siri to find the nearest hotel. I have a good time but I need to do what Matt has done and do a quick trip and plan the camp spot into my itinerary vs. trying to master stealth camping right now.

Love the high peak trail, great witty video

More lightweight bike packing trip and how to pack and what to bring tips

Did you take spare bib-shorts with you. After a day's cycling, I think I'd want a fresh pair in the morning!

Bikepacking 101, Matt does a week’s worth of gas in one meal 🤪 Great fun, tongue in cheek, get out there! 🚀🚀

When Matt says "a backup towel" does he mean a towel for the rear area? 😊

Will Phoebe be on unplugged podcast soon? I think she’d be a good guest.

How did Matt stay upright in this? I mean, he has a reputation to defend...

I cannot believe the kit/food/sleep system fitted into that small number of bags. I also have a frame bag and a small rucksack. Assume they were not filming either. Would be good to see a list of what was really carried.

Nice video. What tent is this please?

LOl..up and down the same stretch of the trail

I'm a simple man, I see Matt Stephens being a danger to himself and others on a bike and I watch.

What was Matt jacket he put on when he got cold ? I like it 👍

Haha I'm (much) older than Matt and had a night in a tent on tour last week. There are some places (jura, in this instance, but lots of north and west Scotland), where it can be tough to find decent accommodation. Luckily, I was in a lovely b&b either side.
