Hello and welcome to my youtube channel Audreytracks.
I am an pasionade cyclist and have been goiing on cycling holidays for over 30 years. Mostly as a solo traveler. My first cycling trip started when i was 16 years old. After 30 years of cycling holidays ( from a few days till a few months), I have seen many beautiful countries and adventures. In Europe but also in Australia, New Zealand and America.
With my videos I want to give an impression of the experience of bicycle touring. The feeling, the peace, the environment and the atmosphere of camping and cycling.
Have fun watching my videos.
My goal is to post a video of my outdoor adventures every month.

Norway and Sweden, an exciting cycling adventure after the floods and heavy rainfall
On August 12 I flew to Oslo to start my cycling trip. A few days before my departure, reports came from Norway of heavy rainfall, flooding and landslides. I saw images on TV of flooded areas, closed roads and evacuations of villages. However, I did not hesitate to continue my journey. I could possibly adjust my route if it were really impossible.
The weather was not verry nice. Lots of rain and low temperatures. Despite that, I kept cycling and it made this trip one I will never forget

Bicycle Tour, 2 days in The Netherlands
Epic trip, well done!
Hi Audrey; I really loved this video; beatiful tour. Thanks for sharing.🙂
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A GREAT CLIMBING GEAR, VERY MOUNTAINOUS COUNTRY, EVEN ALONG THE COAST
Hey, great trip. I'm, thinking of doing a similar route in 5 weeks time. .. Is dried camping meals easy to purchase, or did you take a lot with you at once? In the highlands can you purchase food etc at shops and camping spots?
In the towns you can get food, even dried meals. When you go into the highlands make sure you have food for a few days in your bags. There are some points you can buy snacks. I didn't stay at campsites.
Hi Audrey nice tour. i will be neaderland in july. After watching your video I'm planning tour bicycle. Please shear more details Thanks.
Great video! Three friends are going to tour the Balkans this June, we are worried about the issue of dogs. Did you have any problems?
Thanks for warning me to never visit this ugly country. Still I appreciate the hard work you have done for us. I could see nothing interesting that can not be found in more civilised countries like France and Germany. Or it must be the sheep and the donkeys. By the way, in France, Germany and Britain there are really beautiful landscapes, although I would not recommend Britain for cycling. (walking is ok)
Haha, no thanks. I was very surprised about the nature and friendly people in this country and i will visit this country again this year.
Very enjoyable. Thank you for sharing.
Are those temperatures typical of Netherlands in June? I am cycling LF Maasroute early in June. Six day trip from Maastricht.
June is a perfect month for cycling in the Netherlands. 15-23 degrees celsius, sun and now and then a shower. It's not a garanty 😀
Nice one Audry. Love that bike. Waiting for my new Ogre comming end of May. I order a compleet bike and give it a go. Just change the steer and will see what is needed to change during the years.
Hello Audrey, thank you so much for the relaxing video. Amazing, I was at the same blooming spring time cycling in Albania and also overwhelmed by the beautifulness of that country and the hospitelity. It looks like we have the same style of travelling. Very appreciated how you also have spots of the small interesting things along the way. This region enchanted me so much that I decided to make a similar ride this year, but this time more the eastern part of balkans like Serbia, Kosovo, North-Macedonia heading for Istanbul. Perhaps we will meet us somewhere in that region .-)
Mooi ❤ Audrey, wat fiets jij trouwens hard
Very well filmed
Don’t call me “fatty.”
Thanks , I enjoyed watching your winter journey.My daughter and I are planning to cycle along the Rhine from The Hook next December. Regards Paul
Weet je dat je video gebruikt wordt door de fietsvakantiewinkel op hun website?
Nee, daar weet ik niks van. Staat er een link op de site?
Did you imagine, that someone could watch your movie in the winter (like now, Jan '24 in Poland) to enjoy with you the spring in Albania? It made up my mood! Thanks and cheers!
Beautiful 😍
It's great to see you back out on your bike 🚴♂️🙂 Great looking tour 🏕 ⛰👍
WOW! Je bent heel avontuurlik!
fantastic content ! thanks
Yes the Rallervagen is a route I think every bike rider in the World, would like to do, inc myself. Maybe I can make it some day. Thanks for the post.
Great video, must get myself over to the Netherlands and do some cycle touring, those tracks look brilliant.
Doe het je niet na. Je mag best TROTS zijn Groetjes Andries TOPPY
👍👍
Leuk verslag.
Mooie pelgrimstocht, mooi weer, goed gedaan👍 terecht dat je trots bent op jezelf zeker met een complete kampeeruitrusting op je rug van 14 kilo! Wat vind je trouwens leuker om te doen wandelen of fietsen? Groet Wouter
Ik ben nog steeds een fietser die ook graag wandelt😄
I'm also a cyclists who likes to walk. It suprises me how many woods there are in the Netherlands..... beautiful.
@@iangraham8270 there are still some trees in this part of the Netherlands. It are small forest areas which you can only visit by foot or bike
Lovely forest areas near Arnhem for cycling and walking.
How tall are you?
I'm 1,85 m.
Hello Audrey, very nice bike you built. I see you chose size XL. May I ask how tall you are? I am 1.91m and think that the bike will be too small for me or that I will have to mount the handlebars much higher.
I'm 1,85 m and my inside leg length is 91cm. I put a short stem on the bike because the top tube is quite long. I think you can check the sizing charge at the Surly website.
@@audreytracks Thank you! Have a nice 1st advent!
What a great video really enjoyed that and it give me a great insight to Albania. Thank you for putting the video together. Do you have a Gpx or route available for this trip.
Thanks. It's easy to make the same route by watching the map in the begin of the video. There are not many roads in Albania
@@audreytracks ok thank you ill head for the pause button
Nice video! What size is that bike? You look tall!
The size of the frame is xl. I'm 1,85 m
Thank you for the lovely video.
Very pleasant video. Has good energy. May I as how old you are and how long you been cycling in general anyhow long bike packing.
New subscriber!!.Ni videos.
Very nice.
Thanks for sharing. Nice video. Shame about the plastic rubbish. Obviously you agreed. Such a sad shame to ruin a beautiful country like that
Are you using the suggested parts from the surly ogre page? When you add up the cost of the build was it more then the cost of the factory made bike?
Hi Steve, the parts i choose for my bike-setup is not the suggested parts from Surly. I have selected the parts for simplicity, durabiliy and price/quality ratio. The total cost of my bike is a bit more then the factory made bike. The handmade wheel where expensive.
@audreytracks I'd like to see a list of the components you used for the build. Going to buy my XL Frame this fall then start hunting for deals of the parts. Taking a bike maintenance course this fall so hope to use my bike build to test my bike knowledge.
Hi Audrey. Thanks for sharing. What a great adventure. I am planning to do the ring road solo in July 2024. I'm looking at campsites and in some cases the distance between them can be quite high. I only plan to cycle about 60km to 70km a day. How did you get on with wild camping? I've researched it a little bit and I've got a bit confused as to what the rules actually are. Many thanks Ian.
Great that you are going to iceland. It is a beautiful and special country. Wild camping is legal and no problem. the only condition is that you don't stand too close to a house. personally I think it's safer not to be visible from the road. You can pitch your tent behind a rock, hill or bush, 50 m from the road, is fine. I hope for you that it's not too busy with campers on the ring road. I was there when that covid situation started and therefore one of the few tourists. Have a nice tour
@@audreytracks Thanks Audrey. I appreciate the reply/advice. I'm from a seaside town on the south coast of UK so I'm used to lots of tourists;)
Hello someone have build bafang bbso2 750w with 17.5 ah batterie on surly ogre S? enough Space for thé batery?i Can t find thé s frame size
Very enjoyable. Thanks!
I really enjoy watching films of the Netherlands as myself and partner will be visiting in June. Cycling the Zuiderzee route. We are excited.
Excellent 👍. I ride a Surly ECR 😁❤️✌️.
Great to see another video. Two weeks to go before I head over to The Netherlands (from Australia) with my Surly Ogre. I plan to ride the Ronde van Nederland camping all the way. I will also include Maastrict. Any tips?
It's easy to find a camping in the Netherlands. They are all over. Tip! Farmcampings are nice and quiet. You van also be a member of natuurkampeerterreinen. Maastricht is worth a visit. The center is cozy with terraces and there are a number of beautiful churches to visit ... if you like that. The area to the east and south is also very beautiful and hilly.
For how long are you in the Netherlands? Maybe it's nice meet each other
@@audreytracks That would be great. I arrive the 16th May and leave the 16th June. My plan is to do the Ronde van Nederland as soon as I can get organised with maps, food, Sim card Natuurkampeerterreinen pass, etc. That way I'll have some time at the end to do small trips. Ill keep in touch.
@@simplydebes you van buy a natuurkampeerterreinen pas at the campings. It cost you €16. We will keep in touch 👍
Hello from Debar ! 🇦🇱🇲🇰
So very quiet on the (NTKC) camping sites!
It was still quite busy for ntkc-standards 😏. It was easter weekend
Is the NTKC the same as natuurkampeerteereinen?
@@simplydebes the NTKC campsites are simple camping areas where you can camp with a tent or small caravan. You have to be a member and the members maintain the places themselves. So there is no administrator. There is no electricity at the pitches and you are often in the middle of nature. The campgrounds are accessible all year round.
👍👍🤟🤟
Nice to see you back on the road/track again. 😃👍
Great, I’ve been waiting for you to get out cycling again! 👍
Please describe your sleep arrangements, sleep. Bag, mattress etc. Suitable for the time of year in Holland.
nice! are u using size XL? what the height of You in cm?
Yes, it's the XL frame. I'm 185 cm tall
