In this video, you will join me along an exciting eurovelo 8 bikepacking trip as...

I woke up early, had a quick breakfast and checked out of the hotel. I started cycling at 11 am, hoping to avoid the thunderstorms that were forecasted for the evening. I only had seven hours of daylight, so I had to cycle fast.

To join the Velo8 route, I had to exit Alexandria through a busy road with trucks. It was scary and stressful. Then I took an alternative route that was more hilly than I expected. The views were nice, but the climbs were tough.

I passed Valenza, a tourist town with a beautiful bridge over the river. Then I passed some hill towns that looked like ghost towns, such as Monte.

The downhill roads were rough and bumpy, and sometime along the ride, I got a puncture. I didn't notice it at first, but then I felt my tire losing air pressure super quick. I was in the middle of nowhere, far from civilization. That was a pickle situation.

I realized that my plan to reach Turin was canceled. I had to fix the puncture somehow.

Luckily, after many kilometers of field road, I got to a small village. I stopped there to inspect the puncture. It took me 30 minutes to take the tube out of my Brompton tire and find the hole.

I tried to apply patches, but they didn't work. The patches couldn't cover multiple holes on an uneven surface. I was frustrated and worried.

Then something amazing happened. A guy named Gabriel passed by and stopped to help me.

We had a great chat about cycling, bikes and multireflexology and spiritual pain meditations. He was very friendly and helpful.

My air pump battery got low and we had to come up with plan B.

I thanked him for his help. He was one of those people who make you grateful for life.

It was already 4 pm and it should rain at 6 pm. I had lost two hours patching the puncture. I continued cycling with the patched tire, hoping it would hold.

But it didn't. The tire went flat again after a few kilometers. I was so frustrated and tired. I decided to call it a day and look for an Airbnb nearby.

I found a classy bed and breakfast with authentic furniture, a big bed, a big living room and a fireplace.

Tomorrow, I will try to reach Turin again. Hopefully, nothing will stop me this time.

Thank you for following my adventure!
