James met endurance cyclist Jenny Graham, the fastest woman to cycle around the world, for a lesson on bikepacking. As a pro cyclist he's always had people to help him out and make him as comfortable as possible between races, but with some new challenges on the horizon he needed to be taught the essentials of bike touring. Jenny and James headed for an overnight trip into the wilds of Devon for an induction, and like any beginner bikepacker he turned up with too much kit...

Went on my first bikepacking trip on June 1st of this year and rode 478 miles in 5 days of riding plus 1 day of rest, visited 2 amusement parks, hiked a mountain, walked in the fossilized footprints of dinosaurs, saw a bear, camped under the stars and rode in all 6 states of New England. It was probably the greatest vacation and adventure ever. Wouldn't have done it without being inspired by the awesome GCN team and videos!

Bikepacking/Biketouring. Once you have a comfortable bike in working order, then you don't need anything more than what you have in your own home. I travelled the fjords of Norway last month, spending 20$ on oats/rice. That's it, while other spend 1000s of dollars to experience a sanitized version of the same adventure. On my last bike trip, I ended up talking with a random veteran, while sitting on a park bench. We talked for a couple of hours, then he turned to me with his alcoholic breath. "You're an okay guy." He emptied a leather pouch, and out came 3 medals. He handed me one of them. A silver iron cross from ww1. "This is yours." Almost every tour, I meet memorable people like him. i.imgur.com/3cZdk1c_d.webp?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium Do you remember The Fellowship of the Ring? In the beginning, when Bilbo longs to go out there again, see mountains again? How no one back home can relate? Like you don't fit in their busy civilized time zone? That's probably the only down side at the moment for me. "I think I'm quite ready for another adventure." As the character Bilbo said before departing to the hidden valley.

Great vid, top presenters as has been said I got to re-cycling (after many years not) after a good while doing wilderness expeds, (mostly in canoes) so the “packing” element was the easy bit really. I had gear and experience in all that. One thing to bear in mind when packing .... a guy said this to me years back and was correct .... “people pack their fears” ... By which he meant, if they are scared of being cold, they pack about 5 times as much warm gear as is needed etc. Second point would be .... take very little that doesn’t do more than one thing ... a poncho is also a tarp is also a bivi bag, ground sheet etc. Not sure if this helps anyone but thought I’d try to ring bells that were rung for me years back

I remember when I started cycle camping nearly 30 years ago. I went round and pestered everyone I could to glean a bit of knowledge. The temptation is always to take too much stuff "just in case". The advice of the day was set out the absolute minimum you need and leave half of it behind. The first tour I ever did I think I got the weight down to 14KG but 3KG of that was my tent. Actually I still use that tent to this day but only as a base camp. We're so lucky these days that you can get a decent tent for about £100 which only weights about 1.5KG. James, a couple comments about your gear: 1) are you aware that you can't take gas cannisters on a plane? If you're planning to cook with gas in Argentina then you either need to make sure you can easily get compatible cannisters or buy a stove and cannister when you're there. You'll also need to make sure you have space available for a spare cannister as it's really difficult to tell how much gas is left in one without a digital scale (which you won't be carrying). 2) Make sure your sleeping bag is at least double-bagged. Don't trust that your saddle bag won't leak. Assuming you have a down sleeping bag, even the slightest leak can render it useless. ATB Paula

When it comes to bike packing, I did two small prep trips, and then one summer long trip across the US. What was learned? You get maximum distance out of your tires by keeping them at full pressure. That means checking them throughout the day, and topping them off. This is more important, if you are carrying more weight. Jenny went lean and mean, I did not. I found that if you were willing to be sociable, people would be very nice to you and offer you a place to stay more often than not. Feed you too. People love a good yarn, so collect stories and get out there and meet people. It benefits both of you. Be prepared to ride at night. Sometimes, you can cover a lot more ground with a lot less traffic if you ride through the night. Helps when it is hot as well.

Any chance there’s a breakdown of Jenny’s bike from this episode somewhere? It looked like it had some interesting features! Looks like only one chainring in the front? Seems counterintuitive, but if anyone knows what’s good, it would be this legend

With these endurance cyclists, I think its kind of a lottery between normal people who just decided to do it and then become so good at it out of nowhere.

I've been watching GCN since the beginning (honestly). GCN has continually gotten better and this show was extremely well done in so many aspects. Thank you once again! Showing Jenny conquer the world solo was so inspirational. I will make my daughter watch this tomorrow morning.

It hasn’t gotten better at all 😂 it’s got ridiculously crap.. All the presenters are acting and it’s completely bad like really really bad! Theirs no realistic representation from the show it’s all fake and scripted and the presenters don’t even try lol they’re terrible actors What we need is complete realism and unfortunately this show doesn’t deliver

Actually, the Listerine mouthwash James had in the beginning is not the smallest bottle available. He should have gone for the 100 ml bottles instead.
