@@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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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
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!
@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.
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
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...
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 :)
Hello GCN friends, I'm glad you enjoyed our southern landscape. I'm a Chilean guy and I've been watching your videos since a couple of years now. I've learnt a lot of cycling stuff through the language I'm learning.. You do a great job!!.
My most recent bike packing adventure was from Grand Junction Colorado to Las Vegas Nevada with my dog Rosco in a Burley Tailwagon. It included 7 miles of hiking through the Utah Desert, camping in Capitol Reef National Park, watching Red Bull Rampage with friends, and endless buffet’s from Mesquite to Las Vegas. This year, Tripple crown attempt of the Trans Am Bike Race again.
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.
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.
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...
Pablo gave James his own beer. What a nice dude! The difficulty of James with the hug vs Hi5 just goes to show how warmer and much more welcoming South Americans are in comparison to Europeans.
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 😉👍
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).
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 🇨🇱🗻
I'm planning on doing the whole 3000km Patagonia route north to south in a couple of years, and this got me all fired up! Now I just need to convince my, let's say intermediate cyclist, mate to come along, and this video makes it look like a piece cake - thank you!
for the last few weeks I stopped watching NEWS, swapped them on GCN, however this episode is strike me so bad as my priority now is to cross patagonia on my bike. love hike,wild camping, nature.
I feel like GCN could make a really amazing travel video and enter it in the Banff Mountain Film Festival and have a chance for it to be taken on the world tour. It would give you all a chance to flex your creative muscles by showing the art, beauty, and humour of cycling.
Mark and John, Just found your great video today and amazingly we are in Puerto Varas and about to start our two week trip north which includes part of your route. Can't wait...
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.
Agree with others, can we get a Part 2 video with the rest of the ride and scenery?. Also, so jealous of getting to do these trips with a legend like Beaumont!!
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.
Man, these Hank & Mark videos are my favorites.
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.
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.
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
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? 😉
I would not mind if these kind of videos were like a series and maybe 4 or 5 episodes instead! Absolutely stunning!
Thanks Kristoffer
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!
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.
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!!!
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 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!
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
how this was not a full film is beyond me.. we want more !!!
One of the most phenomenal places I have ever been. Bike packing there would be even better!
Truly beautiful place. Hank and Mark are so great to watch!
Thank you Mark, Hank, and the crew for showing me the this amazing part of our planet
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
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!
I DEMAND MORE BIKEPACKING CONTENT!!! I DEMAND IT!
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...
I could’ve watched this for an hour. It’s like the grand tour production wise. Could’ve shown so much more!! Excellent video.
Great video. I always feel like going out on a ride on the nearby hills.
if mark was a presenter on this channel doing monthly epic rides and bikepacking it'd be amazing
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
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
Brings back both pleasant and sad memories of several fishing trips to Chilean side of Patagonia. Great video. Thanks
Sounds like an awesome opportunity

Mark and James never do you disappointed! Great video and more bike pack challenges videos with these dudes.
I love it when they get Hank to pronounce things 😂
These adventure videos are the best!
You're right my lady
When was the adventure part?
@@thecrowfliescrooked Wow, good query.
This kindof feels like a promo video for a launch of a new GCN channel dedicated to bikepacking with Mark as the host...... :-) :-)
Patagonia looks amazing, video could've been longer but good job lads, it makes me wanna go there

Hank and Mark are the best presenter duo since Matt and any other presenter
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
Welcome to Argentina! Next time you should visit Salta and the Northern provinces. It's gravel heaven!
Miguel speak the truth. 👍
Patagonia is such a beautiful place, would recommend it to everyone. Had a trip there a couple of years ago to El Calafate and the glaciers, amazing!
Sounds like the perfect trip - it's an incredible area of the world
I could watch one of these every day till I die. So motivating.
The cinematography and scene setting maps, at the start, were fantastic.
Pablo gave James his own beer. What a nice dude! The difficulty of James with the hug vs Hi5 just goes to show how warmer and much more welcoming South Americans are in comparison to Europeans.
I love that Mark still rocks that Forerunner 920
Great adventure. Hey GCN, would love to see a behind the scenes video of these trips.
Thats a good idea som
More like this please! But 18 minutes is nowhere near long enough. Good work all :)
Thanks Genrege glad you enjoyed it
Gr8 video !!!! Only problem...... wish it was longer 👌
Thanks Mark! We'll keep that in mind for the future
Leaving James for dust with a puncture is true Top Gear form, nicely done 👍🤣

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 🇨🇱🗻
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 😩
Another fantastic adventure captured on video. Makes you want to quit your job and embark on these epic journeys.
Thanks very much Wei
I'd love to see a long way round type series with these two, would be amazing
It's mindblowing to recognise those places myself
Great trip, I'd love to see more of that tour. Keep up the great tours. KB
Lovin all the videos with Mark! great to see you guys getting on so well and going on epic adventures! Top stuff
Never new I needed to see you guys naming Chilean cities. A treat for sure. Glad you had a blast in the Patagonia.
Some stunning scenery!! 😍
Sunday morning pre ride inspiration 👌
3:55 "a true wilderness" as they ride down a perfectly smooth paved road
Long time camper, more recently cyclist, but never combined the two. Inspired!
that is gorgeous, especially with snow around MA US. great video and a great place to ride
This is proper cycling inspiration stuff.
We think so, thanks Gareth :)

My favourite cycling duet. Keep pushing, guys! 😍

Thanks Juan

Didn’t want it to end! Really love these adventure videos. What an amazing place!!!
Thanks Mike! We were very fortunate to be able to visit for work
Had so much fun watching your video!👍
Nice Video. Patagonia has been on my bucket list for a while. Look forward to more footage from your South American Adventures....

Awesome video as always. But yeah they definitely could have made a series out of this for sure
Great adventure and fantastic world trip GCN guys!
Thanks Vincent we're very fortunate
You guys should have included the big dinner! Local cuisine is such a big part of bike packing.
This is a dream ride!
Stunning. No other words needed.
Looks like a lot of great fun, GCN!
Out biketouring, with some nice gravel roads, and a we bit of single track.
Awesome production of video this is like a movie 🥰
Thanks Dunigan
Mark and John, Just found your great video today and amazingly we are in Puerto Varas and about to start our two week trip north which includes part of your route. Can't wait...
And the next GCN winner to fly to Patagonia and ride with us is!.....Meeeeeee! 😎
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!!!!!
breathtaking scenery
love the bikepacking videos
Fantastic trip
Lucky boys👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers Richard
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
Another Mark video! Cheers.
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
Agree with others, can we get a Part 2 video with the rest of the ride and scenery?. Also, so jealous of getting to do these trips with a legend like Beaumont!!
Really glad you enjoyed it Andrew, we've got some more videos and exciting projects from South America we hope to share with you soon
Great video and waht stunning views. Lucky lucky boys :)
Cool - can't wait to bike back in that region one day.
that looked absolutely fantastic
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
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.
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!!
Great tour....wonderfull landscape!
Wow what a place. Definitely could do with an extended version to do the place justice.
We were very fortunate to be able to visit for three weeks, stay tuned for some more exciting projects coming soon
