My name is Gil Medrano and I am from Aguascalientes, Mexico.
I am travelling with my little pet, his name is Capi, and his age is one-and-a-half years.
He was four-months-old because I was waiting for the medicines and all of this,
and when he was ready, we took the bike and went on an adventure. I was traveling by bike before
but then I saw another guy from Spain, his name is Pablo, it's BikeCanine -
hi Pablo, if you are watching! And this is my inspiration. Then some friends said to me
"My dog is going to have puppies", and I said "hey, can I take one?". And then Capi came into my life.
The good thing is that Capi was so young when I got him. And I bought the box
and always I put Capi in the box in my house, just on the floor, and he was familiarizing with the box.
And then I put the box on the bike, and I carried Capi and put him in the box, and a lot of this.
Then Capi was happy to be in the box. Now, he can jump to go up, and then if i say, he can jump down.
It's a little difficult because it's a lot of weight in the back part of the bicycle. I have to
balance all my stuff and Capi. And when I'm riding,
Capi can move to the sides, and it makes me need to be careful with the handlebars.
We finally found Capi's long-lost brother, and he's very cute!
What's it called? Tuna.
Vegan! Yeah, natural, organic, gluten-free.
Would you like some? Yes.
It would be funny if it was poisonous!
Mmm, it's very good. The seeds are a little bit hard, but the taste is really nice.
Capi is in the box when we are going fast or downhill. When we are on the flat and climbing, Capi can
go running by himself. I think with a trailer, I cannot go through some places, it's
two more wheels to fix, and a lot of things more.
I look for how many days we're going to be outside, and I carry all the
food. But I think on a longer trip I can buy food in every town or something like this. It's a pet food.
Capi sleeps with me in my tent. Capi is so warm, and when it's a really cold night
I can put a jacket or something on him. He has his mat, and it's all good.
So, our road has kind of turned into nothing, we're on grass, there are no tracks to be seen at all.
Do you think this is the right way? I don't know, but maybe we can find something behind this. We're
going to check, but I think we're on the wrong route. This is the house that we've ended up at
it doesn't really look lived in. Do you think someone lives here? Nope, nope.
It's not a CyclingAbout adventure unless you go on a hike-a-bike. What do you think
of my method of travel? It's good, you can find really good places. Beautiful places!
I think the difficult thing is that
some places you can't pass with a dog, but always you can look for other ways to go.
Capi is a magnet of the views because everybody wants to see Capi, and
they come up and ask me "is Capi going in the box?" and "from where did you come?" and a lot of things.
And everybody takes their cameras and takes photos and videos.
I'm very dry, thanks for asking. And I am very wet!
Still dry!
I think we can make more people do the same because I saw BikeCanine, and after that I
decided to come with Capi.
I am looking to travel across Mexico.
First, I want to travel all over Mexico, and then maybe other countries.
Hey!!!!
Your dog's not listening to you. He's not listening to people.
Capi!! Goodbye.
