1 Month Cycling the Pacific Coast Highway in Winter // 8

- čas přidán 12. 05. 2023
- After a brief but intense encounter with winter in Canada in the last episode, we were very relieved to reach the coast and its milder temperatures. We decided the Pacific Coast Highway would be our best bet to avoid the harsh winter conditions further inland, and it definitely didn't disappoint. We had our fair share of rain, but we were happy to take that over the snow and ice, and it was so nice to be back out in temperatures comfortable enough to wild camp in again!

About
In July 2022, we set off from the very top of Alaska on our bicycles, with the aim of spending the next few years cycling all the way down to the southern tip of Argentina - the entire length of the Americas. We are definitely not in any rush, and often opt to take the scenic, more remote routes where possible. Neither of us are cycle touring or bikepacking experts, but we are figuring all of that stuff out as we go. If you would like to follow along, please consider subscribing!

Hi again! Hope you enjoy this rainy episode of our time riding down the pacific coast.
Just a heads up, it’ll probably be another little while before the next episode as we have lots of riding to do to get out of the USA before our visa’s expire (current posting this a couple of days from the grand canyon) Thank you for your patience! We will be taking a short break over the hottest summer months in mexico so I will have lots of time to edit and get back up to date :)
dang so more than a month? -_- nooooo
you two are both legends. your trip and connection is beautiful!
If you need a place to crash for a few days in the Phoenix area, hit me up. I have a home in Scottsdale and have hosted many cyclists over the past few years.
And how do you like the Rohloff hub vs Derailleurs ? I love Tunbleweeds bikes and have thought about buying the Prospector myself.
We just spent a couple days with Greg and Victoria at the Grand Canyon, and what delightful people they are and totally genuine and exactly what you see in the videos, Victoria is always smiling and giggling, adorable, Greg a total straight shooter and Gentleman, we were very impressed by both of them. Happy to continue sponsoring, Keith and Rene,
Straight shooter? Please explain
says what he means, means what he says@@nicholasrubianes5368
@@nicholasrubianes5368 For a person to be a "straight shooter" means to be straightforward, honest, and upfront with the truth and/or how they feel, what they want, or what they expect.
Thanks to beautiful people like you who open their doors. There is a saying in my country, The world is turning because of the good people.
I clicked on this so fast
I’ve clicked wayy faster. Weird I had them in my head from this morning all day!
I thought I clicked fast.
You guys are good!
@Woody same! I looked only yesterday to see if I'd missed my notification for the new episode and then I get it this morning 🎉
So did I!!!
Great job with the music selection and placement. You're really good at that. Truly, the video editing is superb.
Thanks so much Tom! It seems like most of my time spent editing is just endlessly sifting through music trying to find the right tracks to suit the right parts/feelings - so that is really nice to hear!
@@GregMcCahon As someone who works in video production as a day job...the struggle to find the right track is very real haha. Loving the series so far!
I 100% agree with Tom - your music selection is awesome and I really like the tracks you've chosen.
I’m a photographer and editor, and I highly agree with this comment!
Crazy that it was only her first flat after all these km's! Never seen someone so happy after having a flat tire.
So Canadians are great …. but NW Americans are pretty damn great also …. This warms my heart that there is hope …. I backpacked Europe twice(Italy, Greece, Turkey), 6 months each time (30 years ago) and found the same incredible kindness and hospitality every time …..
@@Zayn-cd1mu I am not the servant of any so called non-existent god or any messenger of such god I do not believe in and I sure as shit do not a servant (a devoted and helpful follower or supporter) of such a zealot religion that cannot and does not respect the different beliefs of others. I am a servant only to myself and believe in what goes around comes around, or what you sew is what you reap (do unto others as you would have them do unto you) or to put it in real simple words ..l be kind and respectful…
Thanks for the serotonin boost. Glad you two were safe with that car going off!
These videos makes me smile everytime. Cheers guys, I really value these 15-20 minutes of bliss.
Thanks so much guys I think your attitude to travel is just truly amazing. I've 63 and tomorrow I head to Japan for a month doing what you're doing. I had apprehension until I woke up this morning and found you guys on CZcams. I'm truly look forward to getting out there now. THANKS HEAPS to you both. Your so impressive. Cheers Marc Spurgin Adelaide Australia
that is so awesome to hear! Have an amazing trip Marc!
I’m so invested in your journey. It has given me a calming thing to watch during hard personal times. A way to dream a bit and not think about present day. I love the humanity and personality that is displayed throughout the video’s and i often rewatch them.
Much love!
Breathtaking views! This is the best series on CZcams hands down
More amazing kindness of strangers -- yeah! I've ridden the same section of the coast in August 2002, October 2011 (really wet!) and in June 2021. Lots of memories came back to meet with the flashes of scenic video you have along the route -- thank you.
You guys are incredible! What an adventure you're having, thank you for documenting your travels.
So beautiful and resilient. So heartwarming to see that kindness still exists from pure strangers. What a beautiful but tough expedition you guys are on. You guys rock!👏🙏
damn what a lucky guy! He got the lake for himself in that board 2:51
Totally agree that cycling with high speed traffic is very dangerous and not fun at all. I also ride a bike and being close to the mountain and trees are the most peaceful and relaxing routes ever.
Saludos desde Buenos Aires, Argentina
You have no idea how much I love your vlogs - it's the first thing I look for when I open yt! I've been getting treatment for a knee injury and since I cannot bike for now - they're even more precious now. Thank you for making them!
Glad Victoria powered through her crash and whoa ! extra glad you did not get any closer to that car crash guys! Great Vid as usual Greg! Ride on Ride On!
Hola hace poco encontre su canal, me encanto hermosos pasajes tienen alla. Saludos desde comodoro rivadavia (patagonia Argentina)
These videos, just like the episode before it, are so quietly profound and beautiful and I love them. The level of kindness you receive from strangers is inspirational! ❤
There are cool people all over the world.
And then there are you 2, you are beyond cool 😎😎
i just came across your videos and started watching by episode 1. Now i'm here. I had tears in my eyes, laughed and was stunned about the impressions and situations. It's so rare to find something real nowadays. Love your videos!
When I see the magnificent scene of the Pacific Ocean, I really want to cry
Wonderful video Greg! Your storytelling is just awesome… just like your (and Victoria’s) great attitude, even when soaking wet!
Hello and welcome to BC to you both - cycling to Argentina sUUper stars Greg and Victoria! My name is Matt and I've been watching your cycling adventures for a couple of months. I see you two were going right past my side of the planet...Vancouver. I am so sorry to have missed riding a few K's showing you around my city and my best bud's town, Cultas Lake, just before that. Congrats and well done on all the K's you've covered! The California coast is magic magic magic!! So glad to see in this video you're on the 101 :) I had the privilege to run the coast as we finished a loop of North America a few years back...continued smooth roads and happy travels to you both!!! I'll keep watching and cheering you both on too!!!!
Another fabby video, thank you !!
I love your honesty about the swings of mood that can occur during bike packing
these videos are top notch but (to my uneducated eye) they don't seem "over-edited" which i like. your talents are allowed to show naturally.
thankyou and good luck.
Been wondering about you two. Glad to see your progress and resiliency! Lovvvve the series you're both putting together. Please keep it up.

You've reminded us all that yes, Washington state and Oregon are in a temperate rainforest.
