Looks like a beautiful place to go riding, very jealous right now when it's raining in Scotland and gets dark at 4pm here at this time of year!

Wow, what a ride, never a dull moment. Thanks for taking us along Sherry.

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

thank you so much :)

[@jamesenloe2791]

In the US, we drink pickle juice to help ease cramps from drinking too much water. Some would argue is doesnt do anything, but its a tradition. So when in Rome….

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

nice tip, i did not know ^^ thank you

[@bmp12]

@@Buzzalong.cyclingdon’t believe it. Too much to unpack here. Drinking too much water gives you cramps?? Lol never heard that before. Pickle juice is not a tradition. You will never see people drinking pickle juice on group rides. Some organized events may provide it at rest stops, but not all. Definitely not a tradition.

[@michelulsas2352]

Great video for a great bikepacking. How have you been able to ride without any Haribo???? Thanks for sharing and your constant smile

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

thank you :) Found the Spanish version of Haribo 😂

[@thomasreese5000]

Definitely tubeless 😀. Your infectious positivity is wonderful and motivates my to get on my bicycle. Thanks for sharing this great video. No Haribo but instead we got Chips Ahoy 😁

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

thank you :) yes, managed to source some local brand haribo and cookies as emergency fuel

[@mistersmith158]

In the last stage it's not Güejar. That area it's called Los Guájares because of the name of the towns (Guajar Alto, Guájar Faragüit and Guájar Fondón).

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

thank you :)

[@StefanGrunig-fg5wc]

Inner tubes „glued“ to the tyre.
No chalc powder aded?
Beginners mistake. 🤓

That "hay la ostia, que me caigo", sounded very Spanish 😂😂😂
You should check "Montañas Vacias Bikepacking Spanish Lapland". It could be a great challenge for next summer.
Amazing video.

[@user-ow3td4tn8e]

7:37 튜브스리스는 3가지 단점이 있죠 초반에 관리 중간이 관리 마지막에 관리^^;; 그거 때문에 경기 종류 아니면 안 쓴다는거^^ 아 마지막에 철거나 할때도 관리까지...

[@tjepk3s]

Nice Video! What time of year is this? Good temperatures?

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

this area is perfect for a winter escape, went there in October and it was around 20 degrees, perfect for cycling.

[@jonathanbenn2241]

Tubes!

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

🙌

[@endlessparts]

Hi

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

hey, thanks for tuning in

[@aureliensusnjara9674]

Are you tyres in 50mm?

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

45 mm pirelli cinturato :)

[@HarSeg155]

Of course my broke ass riding tubes 😭 😭 😭

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

:(

[@Hubertus-ko6yl]

Hi. Veleta not possible to cycle from South?

[@pollythedog4914]

Yes....but it loose rocks in the upper parts of the south side with kms of hike a bike. Much easier to ascend the north side and descend the south side. Minimum a gravel bike but better on a front suspension mountain bike

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

thanks for the reply :)

[@austinsnow197]

Could you share gpx?

[@pollythedog4914]

Not quite a GPX but these guides created the route and I doubt they will give all their work away for free.

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Hi, here is the gpx with my Komoot collection with the gpx: www.komoot.com/collection/2480176/-camino-de-cuatro-sierras-bikepacking-route-spain

[@Buzzalong.cycling]
