This is Ilse's first bikepacking adventure! She has never ridden more than 30km's on her city bike on the flat, city roads of Belgium. We followed the Montanas Vacias, a stunning bikepacking route that winds through the most remote region of Spain. We deal with mud that clings to everything and makes pedaling impossible. We encounter snow. We even run out of food. Most of all though, we enjoy our time in the wilderness and experience the culture of Spain.
