Packing our bike bags as we speak - Georgia looks absolutely stunning! Bonus points for all the doggos featured. 😎 Another great story, Henna!
Thanks!! And yes doggos are always important part of the journey 😎 Georgia should be on everyone’s bucket list!
Great film 📽️
I'm glad Tusheti leaves the guests so impressed and happy 🎉
Greetings from georgia.
Thanks a lot! We definitely hope to come back to Georgia one day :)
ooohhh my goooodd!! Mayby some day I have opportunity go place like that!! Thanks for the video!!
Thanks!! Georgia is definitely a bucket list place 🙌🏼
Thank you for this wonderful film. I love watching what inspires others.
Great film, great country! Thanks!❤
We did the same backpacking route 2 years ago but from Omalo to Stepasminda. Think was easier that way haha
Local gave us a tip that it would be easier to do it this way, but I don’t know lot of climbing both ways 😅😅
Great adventure! It turns out that the great riding is inside Tusheti and on the Abano Pass from Omalo to Phsaveli (Kakheti side) - you did a lot of schlepping up over those passes - respect!
Yes Chaukhi pass was quite tricky with the new built trail and deep switchbacks at least the way we did it but the other way around it could be better 🤔 and yes this route def required quite a bit of hike-a-bike 😅
What an epic adventure mountain bikepacking,cheers from indonesia
Thanks so much !
Awesome storytelling!! Your adventurous spirit, resilience, and genuine connection with locals shines through every frame of this film. Bravo to both of you and the film crew for showcasing the beauty of human connection and the breathtaking landscapes you encountered along the way!
WOW! What a fantastic production! Bravo to director, producers, editors and of course the riders. We've been guiding mountain bikers for 30 years and this is one of the best features we've ever seen. Be sure to visit us here in Moab, UT if you ever come through. Would love to show you around!
Ah thank you so much, that’s great to hear 🙌🏼🙌🏼 oh I need to check that out and keep you in mind! Thanks!
Superbly done! The views, adventure and positive vibes through out the journey - that puts a smile on a face :)

Amazing and inspiring!
Glad you think so!
I saw you when I was descending from the Atsunta Pass)) I fell behind two friends. I talked a little with Moritz and Fabian, and moved on. I was glad to see you, your film made me nostalgic for those wonderful places!💔
Ah nice yess we remember you!!! And boys mentioned about the talk they had with you and we chatted with your friend’s at the border station! Hope the rest of your trip went well 🫶🏼🫶🏼 such a beautiful country and place!
Yes, everything was great🤌This is one of the best bikepacking trips of my life! I wish you great adventures in the future and unforgettable experiences! By the way, Moritz promised to send me a photo))) I forgot, but now I remember😅
Thanks I wish you the same! 🙏🏼 haha good that you remembered he for sure has the photo still! Maybe send him a message on IG (@moritzablinger) with your email so he can send it to you.

Proud of you girls! You really are inspiration and motivation !! Greetings from Georgia! I wish I could make this route one day ❤
Ah thank you so much! 🫶🏼 Georgia is sich an incredible country, I truly hope you get to do this route one day. It’s hard but so beautiful 😍
Just wow! Must have been amazing despite the excessive hikeabike sections. Stunning scenery!
Indeed! The incredible scenery made up for a lot of the suffering 😁😁
You should come and ride in Nepal I'll be more than happy to help you out namaste 🙏 @@hennapalosaari_
This was perfect! It's difficult to find a great bikepacking film after a while. There are lots of bikepacking stuff on youtube but not all that much that's this great! Well done by the film crew and it's lovely to see the two of you and the your joy of riding!
thanks, appreciate it!
Ah thank you so much!! So nice to hear you enjoyed it 🤗🤗
Superbe!! 😂 really awesome to watch and so inspiring. Cheers
Haha thanks so much, nice to hear! 🙂🙂
Nice ride!
Thanks! It was epic trip 🙌🏼
@@hennapalosaari_ This is my first uploaded bike ride, which isn't as epic as yours. A lot more chill. What do you think?

Love From Georgia ❤
Thanks! 🙌🏼
@@hennapalosaari_ 😍
Super awesome video, mountains look amazing! How do you find other rad women who want to go on crazy cool biking adventures?
Thanks so much 🙌🏼🙌🏼 it’s not always easy but Instagram has turned out to be a great way to find like-minded people 😊
must be weird to play adventure with the film crew around? very friendly & pleasent ladys 👌
luckily don’t need to play just do everything we would do anyway without a filmer 🙂
sehr schönes Video und ein super Land
Thanks and yes amazing country! 🙌🏼
Fantastic video, inspired to explore the region now. Ignore the haters.
Thanks so much 🙏🏼 and I highly recommend exploring the area, so stunning!
Thanks for visiting ❤️
Our pleasure!
phenomenal/ so brave
thanks - I must admit I was a bit nervous before the trip 🙌🏼
Hey, actually this adventure is in Khevi (Juta part), Khevsureti (Roshka-Datvisjvari pass-Shatili-till Abano pass) and last one - Tusheti.
Nice movie! 🎉
Thanks 🙏🏼 🙏🏼
Why did you do all these travels ?
What is your idea behind it ?
Thanks for sharing, it's great !
I hope the best for you.
I love discovering new places by bike and sharing my experiences hoping that it will inspire someone to get outside and do something they didn’t think of they could!
Where's your water, girls? :) Bikes on the back - funny thing. :) Comedy hitchhiking. :)
There was plentiful rivers along the way so we only needed to carry a bottle or two of water at times :)
Maybye too much Scott product placement, I would like to see more action instead a statements, but it is a fantastic and beautiful story. Very inspiring. Thank a lot.
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated! 🙌🏼
i see henna post. i click
😂😂🙌🏼
Awesome video! Can anyone tell me what handlebar bag they use?
I had one from restrap and Sabine had one from syncros :)
Nice trip! Lolks hard to carry the bike! Which part of the year were you there?
Let’s just say that carrying the bike didn’t make it faster at least 😄 we were there mid July!
If you come to Guilin to ride a bike, you will like it.
Need to check that out!
did you miss the local culture and people? for example the warm bath place at Abano pass? The super-friendly and inviting people from the beautiful villages of Dartlo and lower Omalo?
Ah a warm bath? That one we missed but luckily not the super-friendly people, met so many lovely locals in every town we stopped by or stayed over. Meeting all of them, hearing their stories and enjoying the delicious georgian food was definitely one of the highlights of the trip 🫶🏼
@@hennapalosaari_ sorry... I am saying that I miss all that in the film. locals, their places, their culture, that would be then real storytelling, including them. less self centred, narration could be done on top of additional images.
Ah I see, thanks for the feedback 🙏🏼 this was done with a different approach but that would be nice approach for future projects to try to include more of that in them as well!
@@hennapalosaari_ please don't be offended, but that approach is so mainstream and 95% of these videos are the same. suffer talking, why we ride our bikes, and how beautiful it is. yes it is beautiful, very! but the rest is so repetitive.
@@eivissastefnot sure what were your expectations regarding people and culture. What we have here is a couple of foreigners, who obviously do not know the language, following a rather touristy trail. You shouldn't expect some deep cultural dive in this kind of a movie, it was not the goal - the goal was to show the trail and personal struggle. Personally, I am fine with it - there are very few bikepacking movies about this route, only "Trail to Kazbegi" comes to my midn right now.
Orange font for title cards. So hot right now.
Good color for making the text visible 🙃
Ever since Wes Anderson series on Netflix, everyone is jumping on the trend. If I could describe 2022-2024:
- film simulation
- yellow font
- serif
@@blutch222 actually we reused the titleanimations from another project from 2020. but dont tell anyone ;)
Damn u missed lakes on roshka side? When u went down from chaukhi pass, there are three lakes there green blue and one white
Abudelauri colorful lakes
yes we knew about the lakes but sadly the rain wasnt very pleasing that day ;)
what the name on the film transition?
what kind of transition do you mean? would be happy to help on that one ;)
@@litschifilm the 16mm film over lay and the swipe transition
@@Lucridebikes we've used a mixture of an slide projector animation and super8/super16 overlays. basically its not just an drag and drop effect but several overlays stacked on top of eachother..
A little voice in me says that nature in these places is so fragile that it’s better not to go there with bikes…
that’s a good thing to keep in mind wherever travelling by bike but they do a lot of horseback riding on these trails as well so I think biking won’t do additional harm to the trails :)
Bummer that this video doesn't actually show any biking, traveling, or adventuring. Bikepacking in Georgia, where the locals believe "a guest is a gift from god" and the food is the best in the world, not even one shot of khinkali, Khachapuri, or even the famous wine. I'm really supposed to believe that the truck pulled over to offer a ride, just as the film crew happened to be set up there? Just pretty but staged shots with a professional support crew, not to tell a story better, but for advertising purposes. Shame.
That's right... on electric motorcycles. Time degrades...
@@Pavloun funny that you think it would help anyone to carry an electric motorcycle up these passes..
yes you are right in a lot of ways. we had an timewindow of 9 days in total for the trip, and used 6 on the bike, aswell as 2 to get on and off the route. i would have loved to spend more time there to dive deeper into the culture and the prople. but in the end we simply did not have enough time to capture more than the stuff we've shown in the video. and the truck was honestly not staged and neither was there a "filmcrew". just two guys with heavy backpacks und regular bikes.. but i think it's always easier to judge from the outside ;)
As you said in Georgia locals believe ”a guest is a gift from god” and this is exactly what we got to experience with the truck stopping when we waved and offering us a ride, Georgians must be some of the friendliest people we’ve had pleasure to meet 🙌🏼 Sorry to hear that you got this impression from the film that was put together by our 4 person team consisting of two riders, one photographer and one filmer who all carried all their gear the whole way, except when the friendly Georgians offered us a ride 🙂 and I can promise that we consumed plentiful khinkalis and khachapuris!
🌞🚵♂ Brightened our day and fueled our passion for cycling! This video is a definite add to our prized collection. Thanks for the motivation! 🙏
Thanks so much! 🙏🏼 so great to hear you enjoyed it 🌞🌞
