We are on Canarians now but I really waited the 2nd chapter. I watched it right away when my family slept, loved it... I want to hop back on the saddle again ;) I did 3 Ironman races, one with 2,6 km elevation during the 180 km bike ride middle part, but I learnt there is no shame on walking when your body tells too do... ;) Don't feel shame, it's really a silly thing to do. What you did on this tour so far is really hard work, most people never push themselfs this far! Really amazing story telling again... epic drone shots again... Loved the waterfalls! This episode was a nice Christmas present! ;) Happy holidays ;) waiting part 3!
Haha awesome - thank you so much! Really glad to hear you are enjoying watching 😁 and you're right - when your body is talking to you, you have to listen. In hindsight, just getting to Sembalun was a big achievement and something I can be proud of. Congrats to you for doing 3 Ironmen, that's incredible! I'd love to give that a go some day haha. Thanks for the kind words and support. Merry Christmas :) part three coming next Friday!
Hahaha - yes that's the danger of RU-vid 😂 thank you so much for taking the time to watch my videos, so glad to hear you're enjoying them! I loved this adventure...must do another cycling one soon
Haha glad the intensity came across - I wanted people to feel a little bit of my suffering 😂 always a bargain on strawberries to be had in Sembalun! Thanks for watching Rowan, appreciate it
“I had disintegrated into a sweaty broken little gremlin” 😂😂. So funny! Thoroughly enjoyed this and congratulations for doing such a treacherous climb! 👏🏾
Haha 😂 glad you liked that bit. It's true! I was. A really tough climb but it had to be done :) thanks for taking the time to watch, happy you enjoyed it!
Ah thank you so much! It's always nice to see a new subscriber :) delighted to hear you enjoy the videos. Got plenty more like this on the way in 2023 😁
Hey, hope you had a great Xmas and NYE. Just catching up now sorry being that hectic time of year. "Got some strawberries!" never have I heard such pure excitement, gold mate!! Appreciate all the hard work you put into not only filming this but damn that is some serious biking. Pat on the back
Haha thank you Emmy! The strawberries were just what I needed at that moment in time - I always get them when I go to Sembalun but these ones were extra rewarding 😂 hope you, your friends and fam have all had a great Christmas and I wish you a very happy new year 😁!
I can relate what you feel when climbing, it was like what I feel when I got heat stroke when I cycling in Qatar, almost fainted, so impressed with your body's endurance. It was fantastic.
Haha nice, I'm glad you can relate! I wanted people watching to feel how I felt 😂 it was tough for sure, but I'm really glad I did it. A big part of this trip was about pushing myself and testing my limits - I was surprised by what I could do! Thanks for taking the time to watch :) And cycling in Qatar is really brave...I can imagine the intensity of the sun and the heat out there is pretty brutal
Great video. We stayed in the same homestay in August - really nice place! Looking forward to seeing if you get attacked by monkeys coming down the mountain in the next video 😂
Cheers Warren! Appreciate you taking the time to watch :) and yeah it's my favourite homestay in Sembalun - really nice right? Haha there is indeed some monkey action in the next video (and the one after that)
Those waterfalls were amazing . Pity they weren’t at the end of your day . I felt your pain 🙈. The mosques at sunset were mesmerising. Great vid . Onto the next episode now .
Thank you mate! Enjoy the next one 😁 I agree haha - the waterfalls at the end of the day would've been the perfect way to cool off. Do love that hill at sunset, though. One of my favourite places on the island :)
@@JoshEdwardsFilms Yes, just watched your Rinjani vlog and I know this is my next destination. Mr.Naho still available for guide? How can I contact to him?
Great video as always! The Part where all the prayers from the different mosques came together started off sounding beautiful but turned kind of scary towards the end 😯😅 wish you a happy new year
Cheers Leon! Happy to hear you enjoyed :) I appreciate you taking the time to watch. Haha yes I know what you mean - it sounds quite eerie, in some way...I think it's the echoes. Something quite magic about it all. Happy new year to you too! See you on the other side
Did the Rinjani hike 3 years ago just before pandemic, i can still remember the toughness of walk and the fresh wind of Tiu kelep. It's the moment like this will stay with you forever. Nice job Josh for sharing, keep going!
Yes that is a hike that stays with you forever! To finish it at Tiu Kelep must be so refreshing. I love that place. Thanks for taking the time to watch, I appreciate it 😁
Enjoying the series m8! As someone wanting to move to the island in the future this is some amazing content! Keep up the work, and thanks for the response on Insta! Enjoy the holidays!
Thank you Sam! Appreciate that :) glad to hear you're enjoying. And no worries - always happy to help. Hope you have a great Christmas and new year yourself. See you in Lombok next year, perhaps!
Hahaha nice! You could definitely do it on motorcycle :) a lot of people do - it's an amazing place to drive. Glad it's inspiring you. Thanks for taking the time to watch
Beautiful scenery at the beginning of the day 2 journey, followed by a hilly climb to Sembalun that torments the feet, but congratulations for completing it well. Anyway nice video story Mate
Thank you Bernt, much appreciated! I have to say...I think cycling is one of the best ways to see Lombok. Even if there are some horrendous hills along the way 😂 and yep. I'm wearing underwear...still have so much to learn about this new hobby 🤦♂️
Thank you mate :) appreciate you taking the time to watch. That's how I felt! it was really tough, but the relief and satisfaction at the end of the day was immense. The whole point of this trip was to test myself anyway, so this was a good part of the journey
@@JoshEdwardsFilms I love seeing people new t the world of bike touring giving it a good go and enjoying the experience. I hope it is something you do again sometime in the future :)
Cheers Fredrik! Appreciate you taking the time to watch :) haha yeah it took me a few minutes to get over the idea of "failing" but the reality is there was NO way I was going to get up some of those gradients 😬
Fantastic mate...what a gift just in time for Christmas. Sunset was epic but a shame you didn't get the waterfalls at the end of your ride for all the up hills cycling on day 2. Maybe your next torture test should be a session in the Pyrenees Tour de France style. Looking forward to seeing the rest of Lombok. And hats off to you....looks like you are far tougher than your bike!
Cheers David! Don't know if the theme of the series is very festive but glad people can enjoy watching over Christmas 😁 haha some waterfalls would've been perfect to cool off at the end but I'll take the ones explored in the morning...truly beautiful place. I have all sorts of ideas for the next cycle adventure! Pyrenees would be seriously tough. Not sure I've recovered from this one yet 😂
@@JoshEdwardsFilms hopefully you get to some of the coastal areas on the way back home.... Like I said last time it's great to have your story telling back again, especially the raw honesty...even if that comes with unusual costumes!
Thanks David, it means a lot to hear it :) it feels great to be back uploading and sharing something new on RU-vid. Really nice to see people enjoying watching! And yes - there is plenty of coastal areas coming up...next few episodes
@@JoshEdwardsFilms fantastic ...I would genuinely love to see you get two a million subscribers....I think your stories have a genuine point or difference and deserve more coverage. I look forward to seeing you cover other parts of Indonesia as well
Haha that would be mind blowing! I Can't really envision 2 million people 😂 I appreciate that mate, thank you. Happy to take it slow and day by day...let's see. Even if a handful of people take the time to watch my stuff it always means a lot and I can never take it for granted :) will definitely be visiting other parts of Indonesia over the next few years!
Enjoying the video, it's pretty cool what you're doing and making me think I should definitely hop over to check out Lombok You might want to consider changing the titles to "Cycling around all of Lombok"
Cheers Simon! I appreciate you taking the time to watch :) I can highly recommend Lombok - it is stunning. And thanks for the recommendation. I'm always fiddling around with SEO and tweaking things to see what works
