Time Well Spent // A Costa Brava Bikepacking Adventure
Two mates, bikes packed, exploring the very best of the Spanish Costa Brava.
In March this year, Yuri Hauswald (Gravel Hall of Fame Athlete) and I spent three days bikepacking along the Costa Brava aboard gravel bikes.
We had no intention of riding fast or setting records, but rather getting to know one another and making the most of the little time we get to spend together given our locations on separate continents.
Good food, amazing landscapes, world class riding and an appreciation for the little time we have on this crazy place called 'Planet Earth.'

10 clothing items EVERY Cyclist NEEDS
There are dozens of this style of rack that claim "no lifting", still requires the user to lift the front half of the bike to vertical, balance the bike on the back wheel and roll it into a narrow target. Not something the average 6yo can do with a steel framed kids bike. Any solutions for kids out there?
Did you go down in the frame size with respect to the tarmac? In accordance with Specialized suggestion, I could use a 56 frame but Im (also) worried about the stack on the 56 Roubaix. Currently Im using a 56 Allez sprint frame, but I do not know if I could go down to a 54 size... Thank you for this video... it is amazing the content and your explanation about the performance of such bike... I think this coul help us a lot to make better purchase decisions. Thanks in advanced.
Great question. The front end of the Roubaix is higher than the tarmac and allez, but I don’t think that means you need to size down. For endurance style riding, not being in a super aggressive position is actually an advantage. I would say that if you’re a 56 on your Allez, you should go with a 56 on the Roubaix. I think you’ll love the bike, it’s a weapon! 🔥🔥
You are such a beast! Great vid Jack, love to see how you kept the moral high even in brutal weather.
Cheers Justin, stoked you enjoyed this one!
Don't ask yourself what a bike can do for you. Ask yourself what you can do with a bike! 😅👍
Now we’re talking 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Loving this, brother. I had a ride like that just last Friday. Just that one of a kind experience of getting to spend the day out on two wheels with no schedule, no pressure, no worries, just a rough idea of where I wanted to go. A ride for the soul. It's hard to get that kind of experience anywhere else than on a bike.
Stoked to hear it mate! There’s no better feeling right? No time limits, nowhere to be, just you, your bike and the endless road ahead 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
@@jackultracyclistofficial Exactly that. A sense of freedom you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere else
We’re striving for that same dream dude!!
@@jackultracyclistofficial it’s that “why we ride” thing
Watching this film - time well spent 👌🏼
Thankyou sir! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
👏👏👏👍🚴🏻♂️
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Wonderful! Good times!!🎉🎉
Appreciate it!
Wonderful video. Great experience. Wise words. Thank you!
Good luck man❤
Thanks dude!
Too much boasting. It’s off-putting.
Boasting?
That is one good looking bike. I hope it serves you well. I just wish they weren't $2500+ USD (or even $8000!).
Thanks mate 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Nice. What's the weight?
But it's winter in Girona while it's summer in Australia..... talk about adding apples and bananas!
Respect mate, keep it going, thanks for sharing
Much appreciated mate 🙌🏽
Is that the roubaix you are riding? I have tarmac sl7 but i regret not buying a gravel instead...makes me limited in where to go...but also have pain on my wrist gooing on a +100mile ride.. For the rest... This short movie was epic!!!! I feel so inspired... I wanne do a ride from Belgium to Spain whats also like a 1200km ride 😊
This is the Diverge mate, it’s a through and through gravel rig 🤘🏽 I ride the Roubaix 99% of the time and honestly think it’s the best bike on the market. Fast, aero, comfortable and can now tolerate 40mm tyres. It’s a performance road bike, but there’s nothing it can’t do really!! Appreciate the positive comment, get yourself on a Roubaix, you’ll love it 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Can't make a video on stereo in 2024... mfg
??
@@jackultracyclistofficial Your voice is on the left side. Is it too hard to understand?
Dude, I’m just impressed you pick this kinda stuff up on a YT short 😂😂
@@jackultracyclistofficial You don't use headphone or shit like this?
The advantage here is clearly the ability to use any bag/stuff on the cradles. This also enables one to pack all the gear off the bike, and then attach it, as opposed to other styles where the bag is fixed to the bike/rack. And no moving parts after installation. The seat stay thing was my concern as well, but they gave me the same tricks and they appear to do the job. On a road setup, the cradle comes a bit further backward, but that actually makes room for a saddle bag as well, when going in heavy 👌🏼 SO really is the best of both worlds.
Agree, stoked you’ve also had a positive experience 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Great ride, well done with that mileage in the rain! How did you navigate getting food at the supermarkets with the bike after going solo on day 3? Are you taking it in or locking it up outside?
Thanks mate 🙌🏽 I took the bike inside with me and removed the front axle, then used the helmet to deter anyone from taking it. Kept my eyes fixed on it too!
Have the N2 planned for next spring! Will do it over a week though, im not mad!
Epic mate, you will love the adventure!
Cool
Needs an international bike race. Lots of competitive types across the globe would move heaven and earth to race that.
Anyone that rides it, be it for fun or a race will enjoy the experience 👌🏽👌🏽
Thats interesting a definate contender i use tailfin I think comes down to cost tailfin is more expensive and carrys more. Looking at this the centre of gravity does seem far back . Tailfin definately doesnt announce its existence on rides
I’ve not used tailfin, so I can’t compare, but I’m really happy with this system, so will continue logging km on it!
@@jackultracyclistofficial I always say the best thing is the one you have and are happy with
@@Joiedevivredesilivesagree completely 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Hi, nice solution, but as my kids grow do I need to re-drill holes as the bikes get bigger?
Not at all! The racks fit all sizes of bikes 👌🏽
Best? You eat up 4ft of space for a standard 2 car garage. a high mounting option is better to optimise garage space
They basically lay flat against the wall, so hardly any space taken up 👍🏽
@@jackultracyclistofficial Looks like a good product, but the bike won't lay flat against the wall because the pedals are in the way! :)
Massive - you’re an incredible inspiration Jack keep it up mate. Good on you. Stay safe.
Thanks so much!!
Soo awesome! What tire pressure were you running on the roads? 80psi??
I normally go with 60psi rear and 50psi front 🤘🏽🤘🏽
I am not convinced that it's better than a rack and pannier system.
What front bag do you have?
This is a little Cordel bag 👌🏽
What tire pressures do you run the Mondo’s at? Thanks
Under normal conditions, 50psi front and 60psi rear 👊🏽👊🏽
Of course it's better than a saddlebag. But, you know that's not what we're comparing it to.
You’re comparing it to Tailfin?
@@jackultracyclistofficial yes
Great video
Thanks!
Change your diet to a meat based diet.
Shut up
A-Ro-aa? That’s how you say it in kiwi? I own a set and always thought ‘Arrow’ was closer pronunciation. Sheesh. 9,977,287th time I’ve been wrong. They are quality pods that won’t go anywhere, but remove with ease.
I suffered catastrophic depression and disabling anxiety on retiring. Moving to the peace of the Highlands helped as well as getting involved in community life. Cycling gives me self-respect.
I know this post is from a year ago, but I felt compelled to share my two cents as someone who dealt with clinical depression for almost a decade without meds. Looking back, I’ve come to realize that depression isn’t about your superficial traits. It’s deeper. One thing I’ve noticed in many people’s stories (besides the chemical stuff) is this struggle between who they really are and who they think they should be. This often leads to that feeling that life’s just slipping away and there’s nothing you can do about it. The sense of purpose and meaning you used to have can feel lost, like it’s stuck in the past and nothing you do makes any difference. It’s possible that the adult version of you, with all your cool accomplishments and stuff, might have overshadowed the inner child Jack. The Jack who maybe loves cycling because the wind in your face makes you feel unstoppable or the friends you made along the way. But somewhere down the line, maybe that meaning got warped by outside influences. Or maybe it has nothing to do with cycling at all. That emptiness might be a sign that your nervous system is overloaded. Your emotions could be all tangled up. It’s crucial to find a way to let these bottled-up feelings out, or you’ll never resolve that internal conflict. Guided journaling helped me a ton. Something like “The Artist’s Way,” where you just spill your thoughts onto the page can really help you get to the root of what’s bothering you. My internal conflict was so simple it almost makes me mad how long my life was on hiatus over it. Ultimately, I reconnected with my "why." Depression sucks like no other, but I’m glad I didn’t run from it. It humbled the heck out of me and made me realize what’s really important. I’m rooting for everyone on this thread. Hang in there! It's so worth it on the other side.
What kind of rack are you using to hold the orange bag?
It’s an Aeroe rack 👊🏽
Thanks for swift reply. I'll check out their website.
A very impressive ride!
Altura vortex 2 saddlepack is waterproof.
But does it sway when out of the saddle climbing?
Those little straps break. Better to go with old man rack that mounts to the axle. Same exact setup for front rack also.
I haven’t seen these before, will have a look!
Fine for alum seat stays but I imagine still slip down really easily as mentioned in comments. Crazy to use it on carbon stays which is all my bikes are higher end mtb and gravel. The amount you would have to tighten down is just stupid considering the fibers are not aligned to protect from that kind of torque. Better to go with the Old Man racks and save your carbon frame because they main stabilizing downward force is held by the axle mounting. Plus, the have kits for most mountain and road bikes on their site. That said you get what you pay for and Old Man racks are about 250+ total drive out.
@@jackultracyclistofficial smart to mount them with the main wght on the axle. Then locking so it does not pivot on the seatstays with lots less torque force required protecting those stays. (a must for carbon stays as is my case) but....$$$ beats paying for a new frame.
I did my first everesting on a bike yesterday, 20 hours, (i've done multiple on foot before), and jeez my butt hurts😂 I really enjoyed it though, mainly mashing loads of food in my mouth though🤑 your vids helped me prepare mentally
Congrats!! How did you find it?! How long does a foot Everest take?! My knees feel sore just thinking about it 😂😂 Stoked the vids helped you to prepare 😁🤘🏽
I am not sure it could do rampage 😂😂
Never say never 😂😂😂 I’d say the current rider is more the limiting factor!! Hahaha
Congrats Jack, well done.
That’s a lot 🙏🏽
I have the pannier version. Used with a dry bag a voile straps its fine although heavy. I wouldn't use it off road on a carbon frame and have seen pocs of failure on a carbon road frame. With single pannier commuting along a canal its poor. The pannier "stay" is about as useful a a chocolate fireguard. I mitigate with a voile strap to stop it moving too much but it's a bodge. The rack is prone to slip loaded asymmetrically (single pannier)
Appreciate you sharing your experience. Bummed you’re not getting along with yours as well as I am mine 😞
Hello, I'm a user of the Aerospider rack and really impressed. Question "What are the rear lights that you are using in combination with the rack?"
These are just basic BBB lights, but they are super reliable and with a good battery life 🙌🏽🙌🏽
What racks are those
Steadyrack 🔥🔥
Tough call! Roubaix!🤘
Agreed! 🤘🏽🤘🏽
I did the Munda biddi as well with the aeroe rack and used a 13 liter Ortlieb dry bag with voile straps, absolutely caned it and it held up Beautifully!! I previously used an Ortlieb saddle bag and gave up because (1) got sick of the hassle taking it on and off the bike or Everything falling onto ground (2) the bag wore out where it attached to the saddle … same thing for my buddy btw , he’s had two bags replaced under warranty this way, (3) bag droop onto tyre from time to time (4) sway sway sway. The aeroe solved all these things and the weight penalty is nothing next to the hassle saved on a long trip
Stoked to hear it! It’s a cracking system I reckon 🤘🏽
I have used Aeroe handlebar cradle on approx 10 rides so far. On the first two ride with only 4.5lbs on the cradle, the cradle kept slipping lower, pressing into my hydraulic brake lines. The Clamping kept loosening. On the next few rides, the cradle slipped almost immediately with approx. 6lbs in the cradle. I then used a handlebar extender to move the cradle out from my handlebars. On the next ride with 7lbs in the cradle the extender held but the cradle clamps loosened and the cradle flopped almost to tire level and pressed against my brake lines. On my last ride I think i have found a solution. I put an additional extender under the first extender so when the cradle clamps loosen. The cradle did flop, but only as far as the second extender not into my brake lines. I now have built up the extender thickness with rubber inner tube and really cranked the cradle clamps down on the tubing. I am testing this latest version and it seems to hold. My complaint about the cradle itself Is that the dry bag (that contains my tent. fly, poles and ground sheet) keeps bouncing and keeps spinning in the cradle. It is like the cradle material is not sturdy enough to even carry a 7 lb load. Neither the company I purchased it from Mountain Equipment Co-op nor Aeroe seem to care about the lack of performance or quality of this product. This product can only be used with a lot of work.
Bummed to hear that you haven’t had a good experience 😔
Félicitation vraiment un très grand bravo chapeau 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🚴🏻♂️👍
Merci!
Bro, why not just go in Spring. You are going on Munda Biddi in middle of summer. Mad lad.
Ohhh man, if I could have I would have haha. The heat was bonkers 🥴🥴
@jackultracyclistofficial glad you did it though. I tried to get Vegan Cyclist to come and do it but glad you beat him to it
As a fellow West Australian who has ridden lots of those trails and been out on the bike in our dust and heat I cannot imagine how absolutely hard core this achievement is - Jack this is superhuman and absolutely inspiring!
Really appreciate it! It was a hard old slog, but knowing it would help to inspire others made it all the more important to keep trucking on! Hope you’re managing to enjoy some time on the trails this winter 🙌🏽
@@jackultracyclistofficial For sure - much nicer when it is cooler and the rain has made the pea gravel grippier! Ride on!
I can imagine!! Enjoy 🤘🏽🤘🏽
