One of the most phenomenal places I have ever been. Bike packing there would be even better!
Thank you Mark, Hank, and the crew for showing me the this amazing part of our planet
Great video but should have been longer and maybe in several parts to include more information, felt a bit rushed... amazing trip though
Exactly my thought yoo
Matthew Passerini could’ve been a 30min vid
I agree. Would’ve loved to have seen more of the actual trail riding. Feels like a missed opportunity sadly.
I have travelled a lot to that region, being Argentinian, and I would have loved more focus on the trails. Here it's hard to get off the roads and find some proper trails that are more than a couple of kilometers long
Definitely way too short, epic rides like this should be at least 60 mins
With others definitely a longer video /a lot of gtn vids could be longer
My girlfriend (we only recently started dating) said that she talked to her friends about me and they told her that she’s gonna have to get a bike now. Clearly she has awesome friends! Haha! So I shared this video with her as an example of something we can do together. Hell, we have joked about absconding to Buenos Aries to become tango dancers anyway. Same part of the world!
It's an amazing part of the world and we were very lucky to have this opportunity. If you ever get the chance to ride there, (with or without your girlfriend) take it :)
Pretty spectacular scenery! And I love the fact that they have to eat those bananas before they cross the border. Ha!
Thanks Kathy we were very lucky to go
Editing was awkward. Felt like a lot of epic shots, or content in general was left out and there should have been a longer video. Also no mention of the annual Transandes Challenge race held in Pategonia, Chile (right around where this was filmed) since 2009.
Thanks for the feedback G C
I concurr with the others saying this video felt too rushed, maybe out of time constraints. The sheer endlessness and tranquility of the patagonian wilderness was a little bit missing. I get that it is essentially a promo video for the bikes, but maybe do a second video more focused on the experience itself
The video of Simon in Morocco had a completely different feel. Was it much longer? Must have been.
i know Im asking randomly but does anyone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly lost the login password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Vivaan Westin Instablaster =)
@Anderson Quinton I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm.
Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Anderson Quinton it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my ass!
Time to fire up TH-cam on the big TV and grab a good coffee.
Andrew, you're doing it right mate
Agreed!!! Perfect way to start a snowy Sunday morning!!!
I’am Chilean (from Pucon a town near were you rode) and today literaly I rode my bike on some of those roads! Happy you came down here and you like it. Tell GMBN we also have some nice mtb and freeride routes.
GMBN inspired us to come down after their incredible epic rides there last year. You live in an incredible area of the world
I have been to Pucon a few times and would love to visit for the riding. Maybe a few nights in ‘termas’ to sooth the muscles? 😉
that awkward hi5 or side hug moment between James & Pablo at 11:42 is me everytime i meet someone new on a ride
oh man it gets better at 13:20 . is he gonna go get the beer? is mark gonna apologise first? is pablo gonna go get another beer?
so mark basically -
1. dropped james and left him without inner tubes
2. started having a beer anyway, without keeping one handy for james (literally zero extra effort)
3. continued sitting & sipping as pablo gave up his beer and got another one for james
i see a new top 10 ways to not be a dick coming up.... :P
@@adityashetty1392 And it seemed to be only James putting up a tent (or trying to) - was Mark nice and cosy sleeping in the building at that point? 😂
@@adityashetty1392 i recognized that too. james seems like a really cool and warmhearted guy, the chemistry between james and the other presenters is better, but that's just my impression. mark seems to be a litte bit more focused on himself.
@@adityashetty1392 probably the beer will get less cold and not as nice to drink. Plus pablo was the host and its only right he went to take it for james.
looks like an amazing trip but this video hasnt given it enough justice (unlike the morocco adventure)! but I still always look forward to the content everyday :)
Thanks Milind we hope to share more like this in the future
at 64 years old I'm doing my first adventure bike ride from Nebraska to Detroit. It's a start! This was an awesome video.
Did you really fly half the globe and ride for 3 days to make a 20 min video?
couldn't agree more, expected more from the trip.
They also commented on how the snow cap had reduced by 40% 🤔
Hi Morgan. No we didn't - there is a lot more coming.
Well done Lloydy tell them
Are you saying you wouldn't do that if BMC gave you a bike, Shimano gave you a load of kit and someone else paid for your flights etc? I'd say sign me up
As a Chilean it makes me so happy to see you enjoyed this heaven land. Patagonia is truly one special place to ride. I'd love to see you going for the Carretera Austral. Cheers and keep up the great work!
Flies 8000 miles for 3 day bike trip. Tells us the snowcap has shrunk 40%. Flies 8000 miles back again.
Just insane. 🙈🙈🙈
Came here to say this. Utterly tone deaf.
We were actually out there for over three weeks and filmed a fantastic range of videos for some exciting content we hope to share soon.
@@gcn next time you come to South America, reach out to La Casa Films, we are the behind the scenes folks for the 1000k charity ride Fireflies Patagonia.. 2020 is almost ready to depart, and 2021 will likely have a surprise UK champ guest rider!
Makes stupid assumption. Gets it wrong. Doesn't apologise or remove comment.
I‘m sure this was an amazing trip, but the video can‘t compete with the Scottland trip! I‘m a little disappointed!
Sorry to hear that Jean, hopefully you find some other videos you enjoy soon
Man, these Hank & Mark videos are my favorites.
Great video, but it should have been longer or in 3 parts, 3 x 15 min video per day. You don't fly to the other side of the world with that amazing location and squeeze it all into 18 mins. There must e so much good footage on the cutting room floor.
Was going to say the same. Great video... but more please!
We've got some other exciting projects from the shoot which we're excited to share soon
It should be great video, but outcome is a chaotic, and honestly -- I didn't enjoy it. Please focus on bikepacking, you can do promo, or give tech specs in another video, otherwise is a lukewarm mashup of everything -- shots of nature, bikes, adventure, boat travelling, hip-hop cuts... Meh. It does not look like lifetime experience for sure.
Thanks for the feedback Maciej
@Phil Weatherley This was probably journey of a lifetime, it was NOT a video of journey of a lifetime. And I don't have to define it, it is easy to compare, 2 years ago Simon and Josh went to Marocco, the video is much better, in many regards. Also packing setup video is way better because it SHOWS the gear (and how to pack it). One year ago video from Scotland is also better. Outside GCN, for example two parts of "A Journey Beyond". All those videos are sponsored, yet they are not pushy, they are focused on a journey on the bike, living, experiencing, enjoying. But of course if you liked this video, well, it is great.
The choice of presenter doesn't help either
Great video. I always feel like going out on a ride on the nearby hills.
Can you post your list of kit? Tent sleeping bag mat etc? That's not alot you were carrying for 3 days! Cheers.
There is a KIT video on the GCN tech channel for this trip.
But does it talk about the kit? I’m pretty sure saw it just discusses the bikes.
Yeah I definitely wanna know what tent weighs 700gr!!
What a scenery! Here a proud Chilean, really happy you guys made it to this corner of the world
It's nothing short of stunning.
....for 3 days
It's a lovely area of the world we really enjoyed visiting
What tent were they using? 🏕️
Ouch, £600!
@@ianwynneuk For that price you might as well get a cuben fiber tent, they are even lighter and alot more durable.
Thomas Stocker no wonder they could only stay 3 days, all their shit (that most people wouldn’t use) costs too much. I doubt they even used the tents, it was for show and tell only.
ianwynneuk i use a Big Agnes tent. 2 person, 1.5kg or 1kg for 1 person. (2-3 pounds). Sells around $400 US
I DEMAND MORE BIKEPACKING CONTENT!!! I DEMAND IT!
I love it when they get Hank to pronounce things 😂
Brings me back 2 years, cycling across the Pampas from BA, through that area and then all the way to the south most point of South America - Ushuia!
I volunteer to be the guy off camera who carries or does the stuff you don’t want...just let me tag along on these amazing adventures, PLEASE!!!!!
Gr8 video !!!! Only problem...... wish it was longer 👌
Thanks Mark! We'll keep that in mind for the future
Great adventure. Hey GCN, would love to see a behind the scenes video of these trips.
Thats a good idea som
Well done guys!!! As a chilean GCN fan I couldn't be more than happy to watch this video.
Temuco is a nice city and the road near the lakes seems to be awesome...
Is it only me, or this bike packing mini trip feels (a lot) less exciting than Morocco and Iceland? Next you guys have to ride in Namibia for a week... Breath-taking landscape, never-ending tracks and amazing wilderness.
I suspect that one of these days, after a trip like this, a presenter will call the home office and say, you know what, I'm not coming home, I'm good here.
We expect James to do it every time he goes away, we're very lucky to have him and to have the opportunities to ride in some amazing places around the world
I don't have a gravel bike but I want to do that trip so much right now. You guys are pretty lucky. Good job everyone!
This is the kind of content that makes this one of my favourite TH-cam channels. Great hosts at the moment, and Marc is always a welcome guest host!
Thanks Sam, we're very lucky that Mark can come and make these kind of videos with us
Note for the video editors: if you want to create that widescreen experience, don't burn black bars on the top and bottom of the video. Tweak the aspect ratio instead, it won't look like a bodge when viewed on an actual widescreen display.
The GCN crew really flexing their cinematic muscles here. So good everyone. I feel some serious movie style content coming in the future. Let's go! Woop
Enjoyed the vid but it felt a little flat in comparison to the nc500 and Morocco bikepacking vids. Shame really as the gcn bikepacking vids are some of the channel’s best content.
Take more time with these epics gcn... Slow down the edits and give more time for the footage to convey the majesty of the terrain and the challenges of bikepacking. I’ve had the good fortune to backpack around Patagonia and it really is breathtaking in its scale, culture and beauty. Somehow you didn’t manage to capture the character of the location as well as you did on the nc 500 and Morocco vids.
Lastly, in my limited experience, bikepacking is rarely straight forward so it would be good to focus a bit more on the reality and practicalities of bikepacking rather than just the ride experience.
Still the best cycling channel out there though. Keep up the good work and thanks for all the brilliant content.
Patagonia looks amazing, video could've been longer but good job lads, it makes me wanna go there
I could’ve watched this for an hour. It’s like the grand tour production wise. Could’ve shown so much more!! Excellent video.
There is a slight irony in traveling to the other side of the world to promote a 3 day bikepacking trip, while making one aware of rapidly melting snowcaps....
Probably 99% of us cannot do such adventures so it is SO NICE to at least watch it. Thank you guys for such videos
Well you probably can! Just gear up and ride. A fancy gravelbike with light weight bikepacking is faster but if you're not in a hurry, any setup will do.
GCN does it again, goes on an amazing trip that could easily dragged out to at least an hour (maybe up to 2 hours), but instead does 20min 😩
James is amazing with all of these massive crazy stuff you guys make him do, GCN certainly loves to torture James
What’s crazy about a completely paid for 3 day adventure that was fully supported? Pull your head out.
Well for one paid for and supported or not, could you do It, so why don’t you pull your head out.
I was referring to the fact that James has suddenly became the whipping boy for GCN due to the fact he did the cornering test, 24 hrs with Beaumont, one hour penny farthing challenge, the red hook critt, that recent climbing challenge with opie and now this multi day 350+km backpacking challenge.
Quite a list of torture testing don’t you think? so when you complete that list, supported and paid for or not because remember this is his daily job so of coarse it’s paid for, let me know, oh and remember, if it ain’t on Strava then it never happened
ROFL
By the way before you go trying to challenge my torture abilities, I have completed a 250+km ride solo self supported without stores carried on person supplies, had a flat on Canada’s largest highway and still got home in time for dinner with my wife and I do this at least once or even twice in a Canadian road bike season of 8 months if you brave some of the cold
Also I regularly will do a 10,000 calorie workout challenge, by the way I run bike swim all in on day too also used to way 307 lbs and have lost nearly half
Everytime I watch one of this kind of bikepacking videos I find myself wondering how and where they stuff the big gas canister for example...or whatever item...I always have the feeling that it would take much more room to pack all this stuff...
I've been waiting for this video ever since it was first flagged on instagram. It did not let me down... just fantastic!!
Thanks Roger, we're really happy you love it
This one didn't do it for me....I already know I'd love cycling round Patagonia, so it somehow this missed the point. Focus on the amazing place to ride maybe?
This kindof feels like a promo video for a launch of a new GCN channel dedicated to bikepacking with Mark as the host...... :-) :-)
love the bikepacking videos
These adventure videos are the best!
You're right my lady
When was the adventure part?
@@thecrowfliescrooked Wow, good query.
Great video guys, hope it was longer, but I really enjoyed watching those gorgeous landscapes of my home country and Chile (which is even more beautiful).
Awesome video gentlemen. Thank you. Quick question please, the tent you used looked as if it had no poles. What make and model is it?
Amazing ride! Any chance to get the .gpx or share on Komoot?
More like this please! But 18 minutes is nowhere near long enough. Good work all :)
Thanks Genrege glad you enjoyed it
I've often wondered what the difference between bike packing and touring is, turns out apart the luggage, not much!
Editing team dropped the ball on this one.
This edits were amazing but this video feels kinda too short for the amount of things there are inside. I feel like a 40 min+ video would have been perfect
Awesome video as always. But yeah they definitely could have made a series out of this for sure
And the next GCN winner to fly to Patagonia and ride with us is!.....Meeeeeee! 😎
Brings back both pleasant and sad memories of several fishing trips to Chilean side of Patagonia. Great video. Thanks
Sounds like an awesome opportunity
Loved it.. I wish it was longer. I was looking forward to at least 3 hours of scenery and description of trails lakes and people that you guys met.
I'm glad to see that Pablo had a proper mountain bike for the single track to his place. I'm not a fan of gravel bikes...they just don't make any sense to me. Kind of like taking a Penny Farthing in the tour de France.
Will GCN be editing a longer version? All the guys at my local bike shop are asking the same question. We all loved it.
Thanks Raff, we'd love to make a longer version
Well, glad it went better than the top gear Patagonia special
Welcome to Argentina! Next time you should visit Salta and the Northern provinces. It's gravel heaven!
Miguel speak the truth. 👍
Where did you replenish your water? There was no mention of taking a filtration system with you. Since hydration is extremely important, I think it should at least deserve a mention.
Was wondering the same thing. One water bottle doesn't go that far.
how this was not a full film is beyond me.. we want more !!!
Awesome video
Would love to see gcn do Lejog in the future, Britain’s most famous ride and some beautiful scenery close to home along the way
Can I have Pablo and that smoked animal???))))
I would not mind if these kind of videos were like a series and maybe 4 or 5 episodes instead! Absolutely stunning!
Thanks Kristoffer
Welcome to Argentina GCN!!!
Thanks Juan
@@gcn Will you be sharing the route for this trip on your Komoot account?
'true wilderness' while you riding on a tarmac road LMAO
Hi guys! Congrats for the video and the adventure! You were in the very same place where I was during December and where I go for vacations every year. For the viewers, I really recommend you to go and know personally San Martin de los Andes. You won't be desappointed.
Are we allowed to stay more than 3 days?
@@thecrowfliescrooked Yes! Why not? 😅
Is that BBQ recipe in your new plant based cyclist cook book?
Just replace the mutilated corpse of that animal with something else and you are good to go.
@@Micolash777How about the mutilated corpse of a cauliflower?
Perfect 👌
A long way for 3 days in Patagonia and the posh boy says that in the last 20 years or so the glacier has retreated by 40% due to climate change?! The irony in that statement 🙈
We were actually out there for over three weeks and filmed a fantastic range of videos for some exciting content we hope to share soon, and we've got some interesting climate initiatives which are especially close to our heart that we're currently working on
@@gcn It would be good to point that out then. Otherwise it looks like you encourage people to fly around the world rather than find adventures in their own backyard.
3:55 "a true wilderness" as they ride down a perfectly smooth paved road
Awesome, Amazing place, epic bikepack trip
You guys should have included the big dinner! Local cuisine is such a big part of bike packing.
URS might stand for UnReStricted but it is also a very common first name in Switzerland and is derived from the Latin word "ursus" which means "bear".
Welcome to Chile 😉👍
u guys need to publish this in 21:9 ratio really
I love that Mark still rocks that Forerunner 920
This was great! I’d love to see more of it, but as it was, this was a great sample. Show us more! Anything with these two guys is always fun, and when they go to such an astonishing place, it is even better.
Loved this.
I love these videos. They give me so much inspiration for my own videos. What to film and how to edit it all.
Glad you enjoyed it, much more like this over on GCN+!
Great video but like a lot of people would like to know about the kit. And especially what tent was that?
That was a Vango lightweight tent :)
Great video and waht stunning views. Lucky lucky boys :)
Fantastic trip
Lucky boys👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers Richard
This is proper cycling inspiration stuff.
We think so, thanks Gareth :)
11:43 well that was awkward...
DJ P classically, when ever Northern Europeans meet South Americans 😂😂
Professional ultra cyclist: "I have to set up a tent I've never set up before" 🤔🤔🤔
Leaving James for dust with a puncture is true Top Gear form, nicely done 👍🤣
This is soooooo in my bucket list! I hate you guys!!! I'm so jealous!!!
Great vid but could have been 4 times longer. So many questions.
Mark and James never do you disappointed! Great video and more bike pack challenges videos with these dudes.
Man, that is consumer orientation "galore"! Just 6 days ago I commented on GMBN´s "Patagonia Epic Ride Special" ( th-cam.com/video/8btHMlf-CQQ/w-d-xo.html) that I want more of that stuff. And you immediately sent James to fullfill my whish. That´s great guys! Thank U!
Hi guys, I'm from Chile, and we considered Patagonia from Puerto Montt to Punta Arenas, Temuco is considered south of Chile, just tell you for the next trip you know real Patagonia that it is Amazing!!!! Regards from Chile 🇨🇱🗻
When is that new altura bags available.
Grit video 😉🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Been deep diving on GCN lately when not indulging in the "pain cave" and sneaking out on rides when the early spring weather allows here. I'm thoroughly enjoying Mark Beaumont's contributions. Love this Patagonia adventure - its been on my list for awahile now. It would be great to add this to the area around Bariloche to Puerto Mont a little further south as well. Just finished watching his Ultra Endurance Tips on his recent ride with Simon on the North Coast 500. Having recently completed a Trans Continental myself whereby I rode over 11,000km on 4 separate tours (1991, 1992, 2015, 2018) self supported meandering across Canada (on the same Scott Santa Cruz BTW), I was fascinated to agree and recognize many strategies I employed but also picked up a few new ones for my next grand tour once the madness of this virus passes. Thanks for that!
I want to make a suggestion if it hasn't already been done. I think we need to add something to the cycling lexicon. A "Beaumont" (noun) - the name given to riding a distance of 240 miles in a day; akin to a "Century" (100 miles). A "proper Beaumont" is completing it in a period of 16 hours akin to his around the world schedule. A "half Beaumont" constitutes 120 miles. You can also make this into a verb where you can apply it to anything in cycling that is initially kinda of fun and then figuring out the most impossible challenge with it ie Hour Record on a Penny Farthing. Example : He/She is really "Beaumonting that right now.
After a few too many glasses of wine recently I decided - out loud - to commit to do my first "Beaumont" this summer. Let the masochism begin...
You guys need to really watch ryan van duzer THE GREAT DIVIDE Video and do something like that. Let us see the scenary and don't rush it.
Great ride guys.. i checked them tents ⛺ out wush £600 that's expensive... I'm looking at do the NC 500 guys this year, although with this virus going around the world it might have to wait... i did a 6 day bike packing trip last year on fat bikes, but damaged my knee due to the cleat being slight misaligned, and basically put me out of action for the rest of the year..
Now I get my first Vitus VRS-2 2X11 GRX 600 with 650b wheels gravel bike this week, Chainreaction cycles are sending it out to me to build as they've not got the staff to cope with the bikes... nowt like building your own bike 😉👍
that is gorgeous, especially with snow around MA US. great video and a great place to ride
What... that was it!? The end came totally from the bushes! Obviously You didn't have a camera with You... or some weird reason made to forget filming. :/
