The guys explored the Gower Peninsula, near Swansea in South Wales. They took 2 days to do 50 miles, which was an easy introduction into the adventures of bike packing. And they proved that it doesn’t have to be huge, and that you can do it on almost any mountain bike.

Would you like to give bikepacking a go?

@th_js 6 лет назад

Yeah

@TheMrEggy 6 лет назад

Heck yeah, If I am on my bike I am happy. This would be a dream come true

@geemail369 6 лет назад

Your type of tent might have tipped the scales! Great vid!

@bugboy152000 6 лет назад

#GMBN after watching your video I would definitely give it a go. That tent ⛺️ was sick! Braaaap!

@melwalshmtb9121 6 лет назад

Global Mountain Bike Network hi I am thirteen years old from Cork Ireland and am looking to get a second hand enduro or downhill bike! I watch these videos every day and would love to become a pro mountain biker like you guys used to be although I don't have a bike yet! And I mean YET but eventually I WILL! GMBN is my all time favorite RU-vid channel ever because you guys are so inspirational and awsome on bikes! Please give me some feedback on what type of bike you guys think I should get! Also thank you for replying and liking some of my comments it really does mean a lot! Also if other people see this and have any recommendations of a bike to get please do comment on this comment! Awsome work GMBN as always and keep it up:)

@SteffanHarries 6 лет назад

LOVE THIS. I grew up around here and this is making me very homesick. There's a lovely word for that feeling in Welsh which is "hiraeth" 🙂

@sohmbhate7018 6 лет назад

Thumbs up to Blake and Neil for inspiration of this. Just replicated the route (well almost) this week and enjoyed the variety of terrains, scenery and great Welsh hospitality. I have to say though guys, the footage of the downhill off the ridge at Rhossili into Llangennith doesn't do justice to the wow factor when doing it yourself... No wonder the guys were giggling like kids at the bottom. Amazing. Well done all and thanks for great videos.

@thetimkatt819 6 лет назад

As fun as it is bombing down a trail, the views from those hills are where it's really at!

@Mububban23 6 лет назад

Awesome lightweight idea for a tent, AND it reduces your theft risk as someone has to disassemble your tent AND reassemble your bike before they can ride away! And if they don't have the QR or thru axle they're stuck. Great idea!

@stephenspring4308 2 года назад

Can't tell you how many times I've watched this AWESOME never gets old.

@logger158 4 года назад

Fantastic guys more bike packing please.

@chakraUK 6 лет назад

Great video! I did a ride in the Gower last month and recognised most of the spots in the video. We even went to the same pub and stayed at the same campsite! The trails and views on Rhossili Down are so good!

@coreycanuck1315 6 лет назад

Super video! Really appreciate how this channel touches on all aspects of mountain biking! ....downhill/enduro racer and dirt jumper bike packing and making it look awesome! Thank you for all of your pro videos!!

@aguadoia 4 года назад

Blake “iron eyes” samson. It impresses me how much resilience he has in those eyes. Only wears protection when going in a bike park. Love this adventures. If you guys can deal with the budget, it would be great to see these in other countries too.

@gmbmedia28 5 лет назад

More bike packing epic adventures.

@liveeattravelchannel9767 3 года назад

Hoping to see a bike packing adventure with all 4 of you! Neil, Blake, Doddy and Rich!!!!

@owenpreece4508 6 лет назад

I think I might have to order one of those topeak tents

@better.better 6 лет назад

Owen Preece consider first: would you find a campsite, setup, then pedal off to the nearest town for a shopping run? hard to do when your bike IS your tent. i don't guess you HAVE you use your bike, you can buy carbon tent poles to size

@gmbn 6 лет назад

They're pretty nifty!

@JS-tb9hu 6 лет назад

Better & Better good question. Guess its food first

@Hunter_Bidens_Crackpipe_ 6 лет назад

Biggest pro to the bike tent is that it can't be stolen while you are sleeping as the bike is part of the tent you are sleeping in.

@jerryvolpini7987 6 лет назад

Better & Better Yeah don't like that my bike can't be used with this setup. Still, a cool bit of kit!

@callumyoung7785 6 лет назад

That Rhossili Down descent that you did at 6:35 is crazy steep and rocky. I pushed all the way up there and rode down the other side with the steps. As I was pushing up I wondered how anyone could ride down there but you did.

@NotBull068 6 лет назад

That looks ridiculously fun.

@Dmlsej 4 года назад

This video was very enjoyable to watch! This is the kind of riding I would love to do. I have nowhere near the skills, to ride some of the tecnical trails the guys often ride, but something like this, I could thoroughly enjoy :)

@danielstusnick6011 6 лет назад

This was great... now that you got the bug go for a big one!

@kyrioz 5 лет назад

Bikepacking is so much fun in MTB because you can do anything and go anywhere a gravel/xc bike can't :) can't deny gravel/xc can go faster in flats and less roughy terrain though hehe but hey I like lil bit of squishy in the front 😅

@Rockzoo99 6 лет назад

Finally this video was uploaded me and my mate both met you guys up in clyne valley good job of showing off the local are it was pretty shocking for me and my mate meeting a very big mountain biking channel at our cycle party especially out of the blue just turn a corner and you guys where there

I thought you would have invited Si Richardson. Or was too tame for him now, as he's already been bike packing in Moroco? Or would the gravel bike have been heresy?

@shaneweightman 6 лет назад

Them tents look good and bad, if you put them up in a dodgy place you could wake up with no bike ,,, ,, if you whip a mobile out in the wrong place you can get mugged ,, and that's while your awake standing up,, but it looked like you both had a great adventure and all went well ,,, good stuff Shane 🇬🇧 uk

@gmbn 6 лет назад

It's very unlikely that he'll willingly put himself through that!

@thegefster1988 5 лет назад

Neil, Which was the most difficult... This one, your 100 miler or the Dolomites. Am assuming your Dolomites.

@better.better 6 лет назад

LOL, now that your tents are setup, take your bikes to the pub 😂

@better.better 6 лет назад

it is a pretty cool system that I considered when they were first designed, but you can't go anywhere after you've setup. I guess you could and hope it doesn't rain while your gone it looked like you could just take the bike out and leave the fabric on the ground.
