Cycling 513 Miles through Northern Mexico // 14
Рет қаралды 378,512
7 ай бұрынCycling from the Mexican border to Victorias home in Chihuahua, to see the north and reunite with her family and friends after a year on the road.
This episode has some mature themes, so if you are watching with kids you may want to skip around those parts..
Specifically from 4:30 - 5:20 (after the photo of the Coati), and from 10:00 - 13:50 (after I talk about the Worlds Largest Lithium deposit)
We've decided to include these moments not to scare anyone or set a sad tone, but to try and tell the complete, authentic story of our adventure. I know some of you subscribed for happy joyful videos, and while this one still has plenty of that, I wouldn’t be telling the full story if I cut out those difficult moments. Nonetheless I think you’ll really enjoy this one, the ending is pretty special so I hope you stick around for it!

Hey folks! This episode is a little different to our previous ones, as it contains some mature themes regarding Cartel activity, one of the realities of life in Mexico. It’s only a few minutes of the video so the timecodes are in the description if you are watching with kids and want to skip around those parts. I know some of you subscribed for happy joyful videos, and while this one still has plenty of that, I wouldn’t be telling the full story if I didn't also include the more difficult moments too. Nonetheless I think you’ll really enjoy this one, the ending is pretty special so I hope you'll stick around for it!

Hardships such as these should not be avoided but be taught about thoroughly so that those who actually lived through them are not forgotten about. Experiences are something to be learnt off of and shared, and you are doing just that no?

Oh my goodness, I cried when you reached Victoria's home and her father came to meet her. What an awesome thing for so many people to greet you when you came into Chihuahua. Enjoy your time with family! There is much to celebrate!

The viewer never knows the struggle, the wind, the climb, the bad roads, the bad smells, the blisters, the illness, the wild animals, the bugs, the bad people. But through it all you made it to Chihuahua. Congratulations on a monumental achievement. This vould be the greatest event in your lives. Thank God for the faithful people who have protected you. God bless you as you trek on! What a fantastic adventure! Thank you for the video!

I traveled solo all through Mexico in 2003, including time spent in very active narco areas. The local people were incredibly kind and protective of me pretty much everywhere. I would be advised of places to avoid and directed to safe places to camp or park my truck. The hospitality was amazing and I heard from many people how they were THANKFUL that I had come to learn about their country. I've never been treated as well in my own country by random strangers. It was a very inspiring trip.

Greg, I already said It to Victoria but had to share It here too. Thank you not just for sharing this, spending tons of hours, editing, choosing the right music making an excelent storytelling but for being honest bringing us a small idea (because we never know until we get It done by ourselves) of how would It be to cycle across México. Me as a Bikepacker Im also looking forward to cycle the Americas one day, and this video solved tons of my doubts, good luck to you both, tail winds ❤

I am so glad you two both enjoyed your rest. I’d say that you are one of the very few recent cases I’ve seen of youtube truly rewarding and recommending videos that are genuinely exceptional!
