Bikepacking the Cotswolds (no music, no commentary)

Описание: Bikepacking trip from Oxford across the Cotswolds, stopping overnight at Stroud. On the way I pass through Burton, Bourton-on-the-Water (twice!), Broadway, Bibury, and countless other quintessential-Cotswolds villages.

This video features no music and no commentary, intended for work and relaxation.

This ride was a bikepacking microadventure; one night and 157 miles. Day 1 was 102 miles with 7050ft elevation gain, and ended in Stroud. Day 2 was 55.6 miles with 2475ft elevation gain.

I used a GoPro HERO 8 for recording this footage, and used a Wahoo ELEMNT BOLT for navigation. The GoPro was mounted under my tribars, which I felt were an asset despite their weight (more than just the aero benefit, they offered a different position and also were a good place to mount/carry things).

My channel is all about documenting the scenic parts of my rides, and uploading them almost unedited. I do not commentate or put music on these videos, because that gives you the flexibility to put on your own music, etc.
