You ran a lot of red lights. 🤫

Im curious of the model aventon your dad rode and did he bring a spare battery

I'm writing this from the kokosing campground. You inspired me to make the trip from Columbus for an overnighter.

Beautiful scenery! I truly enjoyed watching your video. Inspirational, and informative. I am closer to the west coast, but will definitely put this on my short list of future adventures. Thanks!

Love the vids! Over here in Trumbull county on the towpath trail a lot. Keep rollin!

A week of travel took you through 20 years of my memories. Weird how little effort it takes to see and experience so much.

What a ride, that's so great to see. Glad you had a safe trip! I'm from Vermilion, so, howdy neighbor. I should bike more, I mostly just hike local trails. The N Coast Inland trail would be fun to ride sometime. Also, I just wanna say, I hate how much crap Ohio gets sometimes. I know we have some pretty rough cities but I love the scenic side. The fields, lake, more wooded hilly parts south west. I'll take this over sand/dirt.

Graduated high school in Milford Ohio. Now I live about eight miles from Mount Vernon Ohio. I'm 44 and getting back into cycling. Ariel park is really cool. We used to take the kids camping at kokosing when they were little. This a trip to watch man. Thanks. Can't wait to go hit the trail. Liked and subscribed.👍

I enjoyed your video immensely! I've ridden many rides in the past including the C&O and GAP trails (the whole trip as well as sections), Vermont (five day ride with Adventure Cycling when it was a reasonable price back in the day), RAGBRAI and bike packing with friends in Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania. I really want to ride the OTET and only have to work out getting to and from the start/finish. Hope to perhaps take a shuttle from Cleveland where my buddies live to Cincinnati, ride back to Cleveland and then drive back to my home near Toledo. We would tent camp although those hotels look pretty temping too. I'd bet your father is a bit older than me so if he can do it I suppose I can too. Keep making those videos and I'll be watching. You've inspired me! P.S. Thanks for the great links in the description.

Dude, you rode right past my house! You should have stopped in for a beer. I want to ride this one myself but start in the North and come back towards Loveland. I just got my bike a few weeks ago and am now gathering my gear and doing some mods to the bike. It's on my summer bucket-list. Thanks for the video. It really does help me with motivation. My old sailboat is sitting in the back yard waiting for me to get some work done to do the Erie Canal and down to Cincinnati to the Ohio River as well. What a beautiful state! I love being back home.

Excellent video 😊 what brand is your tent?

I’ve been a long distance thru-hiker (Appalachian Trail, Buckeye Trail, etc.) but as I glide into my mid-60s, I need to find other options to get my fix that aren’t so hard on the legs. I stumbled upon your video by accident. What a great job you did on this and I really appreciate the resources provided. I’m based out of Akron so this will be perfect for me. You gained another subscriber. Thank you!

Nice video, thanks! I took a series of trails from Columbus NE to PGH, then rode the GAP/C&O into DC. It was a great way to finish my ride across the U.S. rolling along trails without drivers.

I like your dad's strategy of using the motor only when necessary. Nice video.

Thank you for the video. Me and a few friends are planning to ride this soon. Very informative video

Great vibes

Excellent job creating this video. You made it look so easy!

Very enjoyable video. Thank you for making it and sharing it. I hope to ride this trial some time in the near future.

Love your commentary and so glad you did this with your pops! What a memory. Thanks for sharing.

Very enjoyable video. I have only done sections of the trail, your video makes me want to do the whole thing.

"Alive breathing and pedaling" 💯

I passed you and your father on my way back to Centerburg, just south of Mt. Vernon. Made it home before the storm! Thanks for sharing your journey.

As always, another great ride Brian. Thank you for sharing! Bucket list!

Nice trip with Dad. I enjoyed the views and commentary

A terrific, informative, and enjoyable video of a journey. Thanks Brian.

As always Brian wonderful story telling, cinematography with the 360 and editing. These rides with your Dad and son will stay with you forever. Your Dad is a trooper! And as you mentioned in the end your video's encouraged me to ride this trail this summer. Best of luck riding around the lakes. Multiple smaller SD cards is a way to go!

I was planning on doing Akron-Cleveland-Akron this year, but a sideswiper broke my collarbone into 4 pieces. So now I sit and watch other people ride their bikes. Great footage!

Great video! What saddle do you have on your bike? I'm looking to upgrade to something more comfortable - I couldn't imagine riding that far over that many days with the stock saddle that came with my Surly Ogre.

Thanks for sharing! Were you back on the OTET through CBus a couple of weekends ago? I think I might have passed you along 670. Also, how do you mount your Insta360 on your bike?

@14:23 did that dog have a nearby owner??

Did you stay in Yellow Springs? Bunch of us are Warm Showers hosts.

Thank you, im doing human powered route sign research and implementation. There are some great examples of trying to make the current standard better here.

Fantastic video. It's inspired me to try this myself. I've ridden parts of this trail so many times and it's truly a gem but never thought it possible to bike the entire thing. Thank you for sharing.

I did Cincinnati to Columbus last year. Hoping to do the other half this year.

Brian, this video is beautiful! You did an outstanding job capturing the gorgeous trails of Ohio. I watched every minute and subscribed. 👍🏼YOu are a great story teller and I truly appreciate the work you put in on editing. I need to up cycling video game. This has inspired me.

Extremely detailed and informative. It's nice to see what one might be getting into!

Nice video. I'm headed north to south on the OTET in July. This was a helpful video.

Getting ready to do this trail again in May 2024! The GAP trail then the C&O Canal Towpath to DC. ❤

Thanks, Brian! This is one of the most helpful blogs for me in preparing to ride the Ohio To Erie Trail. It is a great mix of information combines with very professional video mixing. Thanks for sharing.

What kind of bike do you have?

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

Great video! Recently got back into biking, and I'm gearing up to do the Kal-Haven trail in Michigan this summer. Subscribed! Can't wait to see what other adventures you go on!

Beautiful presentation. Thanks!

Thank you for a detailed & well executed video. Did I miss how you are getting your car? Was it a rental? 🤔

Excellent video! Me, along with a couple of friends are going to ride the OTET in June of 2024. Thanks for sharing your gear list. I'm really curious as to what selfie-stick or pole you used on your bike and how you got the effects that you used. Thanks for sharing!

So fantastic! What a blessing to see the Lord working on Appalachian Trail! Thank you for letting the Lord do his work through you to lead others into a right relationship with God through Christ! Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. - 2 Corinthians 5:17.

What bike are u riding

Great video! 3 of us are bikepacking from Cinci to Cleveland this spring. Looking forward to exploring all the small towns.

Really great video editing…what software are you using?
