      The gearbox + belt drives are amazing! It is what I like the most about my Priority 600. Ryan is a big reason I purchased one. I would have gone with the 600x but did not want to wait 6 months for the bike (supply chain delays).

    I couldn't help but notice Laura's bike, the Priority 600X. I love mine. Would you do an in depth video of accessories and upgrades you did to it and your impression of how it performed on this ride? Pros and cons, things you would do differently in regards to the 600X? This looks like a ride to die for. Tenacious tape and others like it from Gorilla and others......would these be a better option for air mattress repair? Overall, this video presentation was in the least, stunning, breathtaking! For now, living it vicariously, it is on my bucket list. Will definitely be watching again. Thanks for sharing!

    I loved watching this video. Too many videos about long distance rides focus on superhuman endurance, on 'conquering' natural terrain. or can seem fraught with risks. Laura and Alee just projected enjoyment (all bar that five k of roadside landfill). The three days of riding and fourth day off scheduling was just made so such sense, it was candid and de-mystifying. Well done to both, and I am sure all your viewers will wish you many similarly happy trips together, as I do.

    Excellent video, Alee and Laura! Looks like a phenomenal trip, and glad to see the Pinion gearbox did really well! For patching camping pads, I place a 1/2" permanent glue dot over the leak after fully drying it and reinflating the pad, and then place a 2x2" duct tape patch over the glue dot. This has worked well for me with most camping pads, and is easy and lightweight to carry while traveling. A couple feet of duct tape wraps nicely around the Sawyer Squeeze filter so you don't have to bring a whole roll, and the glue dots are sold as a roll in craft stores. Cheers!

    I've followed along on your Instagram posts and I enjoyed watching this great adventure. Laura seems to have a great attitude and is a wonderful outgoing adventure partner. Using your water filter was a bit odd though. Hahaha! Another well done adventure. Thanks for sharing your time with us ✌
