Re: Gigpacking Holland
Oddly enjoyed that. Something special about a trip that involves a ferry ... ooh and why did you make Helen go out in front on the windy return?
May the bridges you burn light your way
Re: Gigpacking Holland

holland is a pretty cool place for riding your bike.

Re: Gigpacking Holland
Lovely . Pretty stupendous weather at the end there. The dedicated bike tunnel was interesting. Talking of windy returns, I particularly liked the way you christened the hotel room with a 'Boner's bikepacker's fart' at 08:07 .After your vid, youtube segued into the Dolls "Davey's Took The Plunge" for some clever reason.

Re: Gigpacking Holland
I'd concur with Stu though, making Helen go up front in that wind....tsk

Re: Gigpacking Holland
For the record Helen was only up front when being filmed and this was not a wind for drafting as it was very very gusty

Re: Gigpacking Holland
Enjoyed that! Took a while for the penny to drop about Gigpacking...
Loved the awkward silence on the out crossing “are you enjoying yourself...?”

Re: Gigpacking Holland
That's a good watch If it was that windy when loading the ferry up then what was the crossing like?

You couldn't hear the full-on swearing because of the weather .

Cheers
