Hell yeah! This was actually my first time riding these trails with full suspension, lots of fun. Also missed seeing you when I stopped by Shift. Cool spot. Maybe next time.

Def a fun one!!

Hey Joel, glad you enjoyed the video. We usually had our psi set from 6-10. Lower when in sand and higher when on pavement. Usually ended up around 8 if we didn’t want to adjust it much on a mixed day. Also depends on the tire size and tread. You definitely get a feel for it after a bit on what works best. Even the sand density and texture changed along the way.

Great info on tire pressure, thank you. Can you recommend a good pump for my 26x4 fat tire? Off to watch your southern half video!

@@joelbatts8760 We both use the Lezyne Micro Floor Drive High Volume Pump on our rides. Amazing!

@@BikeCampChill The pump is on the Amazon wish list! Thank you.

Wow, sounds like quite the trip! :)

Hey there, these are not e-bikes. We rode with good old-fashioned human power. There were many people along the way that thought we were riding electric as well. We do usually charge up a few power banks to bring and charge our phones and other electronics though.

@@BikeCampChill do you think this trip is doable on an e-bike?

Good question. There are many signs saying “no motorized vehicles” so it depends on how they classify e-bikes in various areas. We do pass many towns where you could get a hotel room to charge each night. Have fun with it! Thanks for watching.

yee really fun, hmu sometime if you are down

Always nice to find something challenging you can do close to home! Hope you’re enjoying the coastal weather out there. :)

It’s been fun finding trails to explore for sure!

Hey Joe, I’ve been switching back and forth between my Salsa Fargo and the fat bike (Salsa Mukluk). Not really riding for speed lol. We did do the coast all the way to PO but then most of the rideable trail gets more spotty after that. I’m back in CA for now, but will be coming up to enjoy more of OR again soon. Lots to explore. :)

@@BikeCampChillGood luck and keep up the good work!

Kenny did an awesome job for sure. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Yeah, you can find instructions and templates online! Example here: bikepacking.com/gear/how-to-make-a-bikepacking-framebag-krampus/

That's awesome! I'm happy to know you stumbled across this video. That spot saved our asses out there.

I rode it with my cousin, lots of fun!

For sure, it was a blast!

@@BikeCampChill how many days in the back country before you reach a town?

To each their own. I used to ride dirt bikes growing up and my grandpa and dad even raced them. I’m sure a motor bike would be a lot of fun out there too!

Thanks for watching dude, I'm glad you liked it. Rad indeed!

Hey Scott, this ride/route is about the "southern tier" of the Oregon Coast Trail (OCT), referring to the southern section. Sorry you found that confusing. The thumbnail and title clearly state the Oregon Coast.

Oh for sure, you know it lol. I got a Salsa rear rack for the fat bike recently. Definitely will help if I need to fit more next time. Loving the wide ass frame bag too!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

Bring on the spring time riding!

Glad to hear you’re finding new roads to ride out there, Joe! I hope you’re doing well too. :)

Andy is a riot! haha

Perfect conditions is an understatement!

You as well. :)

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks Kelly!

Yeah, great storage setup for sure!

Glad you enjoyed the chill vibes, David. Cheers.

Hey there! I made that route quite a bit ago and haven't had the chance to thoroughly scout it. I just updated the link in the description so you can look at it. Cheers.

Thank you! @@BikeCampChill

No problem. Just updated it again, fyi!@@vuduvgn

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hey Chris! Fortunately, we didn’t have any issues with that. There are faucets at most campgrounds to do a quick rinse if needed, but we definitely made sure to clean and re-grease things well when we got home. Maybe we got lucky. Going more than 5 days at a time would probably be pushing it lol.

That route is definitely a good challenge! Also nice to not have any mechanical issues out there.

Kenny did a great job on his build! I’m glad I was able to capture it and share the love. I’m sure he’ll read your kind words at some point. Thanks for stopping by, David. :)

Thanks for the positive support, Craig! Glad you liked seeing Kenny’s setup. :)

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks dude!! Glad you enjoyed it. :)

Coastlines can definitely bring a great vibe to adventures. Happy to know you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and subscribing! ✌🏻

For sure, glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you enjoyed it, Luigi! It was a fun one for sure. :)

It was an awesome adventure. Definitely a unique way to experience the coast!

Awesome, thanks for watching. Fat bikes are fun!!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you enjoyed it, Janne!

Thanks Mark!

Awesome to hear, Mark! I love that this video can be an inspiration. I felt like this was a great adventure worth capturing for that very reason. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for chiming in, glad you like it!

I know! For a public route, we wanted to make sure we followed the state guidelines. Some locals told us we should be fine riding the wet sand, but I've read otherwise during plover season. Luckily, this was still a great sunny window in the season to ride! Maybe things will change in the future, as fat bikes and beach riding become more commonplace. We downed those bottles of cranberry juice so fast!! lol
