An exciting challenge across the Netherlands
Tom is an extreme outdoor challenge YouTuber who has completed many interesting challenges such as: E.g. build a hut in the forest, spend 24 hours in the wilderness with items worth €50 and survive 5 days alone in the wilderness with only 5 items (without food or drink).
In the freezing cold winter month of February in the Netherlands, Tom dared to take on a demanding challenge: He planned to cycle from south to north across the Netherlands. That sounds a bit unbelievable, doesn't it? Tom had previously made similar attempts, but unfortunately he failed for health reasons. Would he succeed this time? Excitedly, Tom said yes!
400 KM cycling in the bitter cold of February
From Poppel, on the border between northern Belgium and southern Holland, to the Royal Air Force Memorial in the northernmost part of the Netherlands. This journey was accompanied by the freezing cold of Dutch February and took it through temperature differences, environmental changes and terrain variations on the way from south to north. Tom completed a 48-hour bike ride with the GRUNDIG GCB-1 to successfully complete this 400km journey.
Café, the best painkiller
This challenge was by no means an easy task. But Tom did it! On the way he had to struggle with physical problems, especially a sore buttocks from sitting on the bike for long periods of time. "Buttocks hurt, my legs are lazy, my knees are hurt, I'm cold, I'm wet, it's raining, the wind is strong, I'm completely soaked now. What a difficult thing. This is a struggle, especially the latter piece..." said Tom.
Nevertheless, there were also happy moments. Tom took breaks in the café to eat something and relax. In the cold winter air it was a relief to have something warm to eat.
Success with the help of the Grundig GCB-1
Thanks to the Grundig E-Bike GCB-1, despite all the obstacles, it was finally a success. "This is really a top bike." Tom said.
It's true that cycling 400 km is not an easy task. There are many challenges a cyclist can face on a long distance ride.
The Grundig GCB-1 has an adjustable handlebar and an adjustable wheel seat. It allows drivers to adapt to different driving conditions to eliminate the inconvenience associated with long, fast journeys. The Grundig GCB-1 is equipped with SR Suntour NEX SF15 suspension, which allows Tom to adapt to most terrain while driving. And finally the range. During this 2 day ride Tom used 3 batteries and covered 400km at the fastest speed. This reflects the range of the Grundig GCB-1.
Tom had successfully completed his challenge, not only overcoming his physical limitations, but also experiencing the beauty and diversity of the Dutch landscapes.
