This is my entire Great Divide experience from summer 2020. I started the ride on the Canada/Montana border on July 15th and rode for 26 days to southern Colorado. This long edit is a bit different than my previously released series. I took out all the music and left in just natural sounds. I love the soothing soundtrack of tires crunching on gravel.

If you liked this video, I bet you'll enjoy my most recent adventure, Cycling the Length of Sweden. Check it out: czcams.com/video/W_G4szY8Q8A/video.html
I’m a cyclist of 34 yrs and try to get out 5 x a week. Yes even in the winter. As I age it gets harder and harder. I had my crazy days in the saddle. This video intrigued me and I’m quitting my job, retiring, and gonna do one last push. Thanks for the video.
good for you!
make a video
Get out there and ride!
Good for you!! I hope you enjoy every second, record it, share it with us, and never regret a moment of your decision! You deserve to do what makes you happy!
Don't make it your last! I'm sure you can find a way to make your work revolve around cycling rather than the other way around. Things have a way of working out when you are open to them.
And you said you are retiring, even better. Strip your life down to only the essentials and I'm sure you will suddenly find greater freedom to ride!
I really do appreciate that you did not add any music. I love that you share the Sound of Nature, the Tires on the ground, the Chain, the Wind, the birds, your breathing, the Rain and hail. So you let us hear what you hear. Thank you !!!
i second this big time
very good point. i close most of the videos just because of the nonsense and loud music.
True! But Neil Young's Great Devide was playing in my head while viewing.
YES!!!!!! Exactly!!!!!
Oh my goodness!! This is my dream. Thank you so much for doing this. When I was a youngster I rode my bike everywhere. I loved it. I’m 67 years old now and my husband, my best friend, has gone on without me. The only reason I have to claw my way up out of the darkness is to ride my bike on a great adventure. Thank you so much for giving me hope!!!❤
all the best lady,go with ease
godspeed. sorry for your loss!
Have fun! 🙂
Sorry for your loss...truly. Do it....go for it. I am 76, lost my wife three years ago and have been sitting on my duff ever since. Watching these biking videos has inspired me. I just took delivery of my e-MTB and rode it last Sunday in our local National Forest, mostly hills and was thrilled to find that I can do it. I am now awaiting some panniers and a rack rag bag so I can go bikepacking. The nice thing about the e-bike is it lets you tweak the settings where you put in enough effort to get good exercise and build up to longer distances. I can't tell you how happy I am that I made this decision. I encourage you to get out there in the wind.
I might be a little late to the party but I have say that you have constructed a beautiful and intimate road trip documentary that is not only warm and full of positive interaction but also technically very impressive. I appreciate the meticulous care you have taken in your editing, the pace is pitch perfect. Your GoPro and drone camera work is excellent and really captures the enormity of your undertaking. Your commentary adds genuine depth and soundtrack of tyre on grit and tastefully foregoing the dreadful generic overly loud beat heavy soundtrack is just super welcome. We get a sense of who you are without unnecessary personal detail, it was compelling from start to finish without ever succumbing to cliche.
Absolutely loved the fact that there was limited dialog , zero busy "filler" talk and no music. Very natural-excellent!
Thanks!!
Agreed
Yes 1000%. It really makes the entire viewing experience so peaceful and probably more true to what the journey felt like. Amazing work!
Yes!

Editing this together was almost as big of a commitment as riding the divide, ha! It’s unlike anything I've made before and I hope you like it. Who is planning on riding this in 2021? Here’s my gear list and info about the bike czcams.com/video/UDvaYSwNr_E/video.html
Ride on here! Ready to go explore Colorado this year.
Yes as far as I can remeber this is the first full trip video I have seen. Love it.
It's on my "to do" list, but I've already decided to do a couple of other long rides this year. They are closer to me, so I can either drive or ride to the start. Next year -- especially if an easing of the pandemic makes travel more possible -- I'm up for it!
Doing sections 3 and 4 this August. The entire thing in June 2021. Edit - I meant to type "The entire thing in 2022" not 2021
I will be finishing up my ride across Canada.
I started cycling as a 5 year old boy,I've cycled all of my adult life, I'm 52 this summer and as times gone on I've been able to cycle less and less and shorter distances. I've had surgeries on both my knees but now after I cycle they swell and hurt. You never know what you'll miss until its gone. If you are watching this video and you're fit go and get out there whilst you can.
Have you tried a recumbent bike? My mates father in law absolutely swears by them
I broke my left leg in 3 places last year, 3 breaks all on my tibia, just under my knee. I'm 45 and breaking my leg and not being able to walk (I was in a wheelchair for about 8 weeks post surgery, 3 plates holding the bone together) and got a bike a few weeks ago. I've also loved bike riding and after relying on people for what seemed like forever as I couldn't walk very far, I feel like I'm slowly getting some independence back. I'm still super out of shape, but I'm hoping the bike will help as walking is painful for me, but bike riding isn't. I'm guessing it's due to impact on the bone whilst walking. I doubt my weight is helping either. I don't know how to drive, so bike riding is the next best thing. When I can finally go back to work I'll upgrade to a ebike for longer journeys. I just love bike riding. 🤷🏻♀️
Get a good sports PT and tell them what you want to do!!! We love a motivated patient and good challenge!
@@debicraddock5603 thanks, I'd love to but we don't have any money unfortunately
@@stardustuk7 hi Stella, sorry only just seen this, definitely empathize with you on the leg having done that myself but really glad you are bad on a bike, carry on the great work.
Planned on watching a couple minutes out of curiosity, couldn't stop, it was mesmerizing yet engaging. You have serious talent for shooting and editing, amazing work!
Thank you! This means a lot to me
Same!
@@duzer how do you get the done shots while riding?
Same
The lack of music gives this one a sort of Zen quality. Especially scenes with just trail noise & nature sounds.
Thanks, that was the goal. Just pure, raw nature and the sounds of tires crunching
yeah much better without music, you get to listen to all the sounds, the talk and the wheels on the road... loved it
it just adds incredibly much to the watching experience! thanks a lot for sharing your wonderful journey with us!
Yes, thank you Ryan for not filling your film with bad music.
Yes, amen to the lack of music. At times, music is just static that adds nothing to the production........Thank you.
this is honestly the best video i’ve watched on youtube. i’m a 17 year old who’s got a pretty negative world view but this videos reminded me of how beautiful this world really is and how many unique and interesting people live here
Get out there Ross and explore this beautiful planet! You’ve got this my man
I couldn’t agree more. Absolutely great video. Love from Scotland 🏴
Get biking
i thought you were exaggerating but then i watched it myself
Hold on to that thought - it's true. And some wind in your face and ache in your muscles will remind you again, whenever you think you've forgotten. :-)
The drone footage of the wild horses is hard to beat. What an excellent trip you had!
Magical moment
At 1:29:28 or mile marker 15.5 Cr #3(Ute pass)in vid between kremmling & silverthorne, 14.5 marker is now a water station either by mail box or under pine tree at road, anyone can help themselves as did about 4 cases this past summer. Camp as long as owner is around, that's Me! Met and have hosted many wonderful folks on their ride.
Thanks Ryan for showing what ya'll really are doing out there on bikes, very cool!
Very cool! You’re so generous!!
Mira is a treasure. What a sweetheart! It took a while for me to realize, there's little to no music in the video and I really appreciate that. Hearing the chatter of the wind, the gravel crunching beneath the tires, I love it. It really makes me want to get back out on a trail of my own!
Yeah, no music at all, Mother Nature provides the soundtrack
I agree listening to all the natural sounds of the wind and tires to the dirt road, Great video Guys….
@@duzer i appreciate this so much! thank you!
mira is treasure but she could be attracting fights with dogs on the way
I came across this CZcams video last night and I want to thank you for it from the bottom of my heart. One of my closest friends, who also happened to be my first cousin, passed away Friday. I found solitude and peace in your video. I found calm.
My buddy Gary died from COVID on Friday. He was 41. He never even made it to a ventilator. While he didn’t ride bikes much (though he did a little at one point in his early adventures with his wife and the kids), my only wish is I had come across this a week ago while he was in the hospital, alone, battling this terrible virus. I think he would have been able to find some peace in the beauty of the outdoors which you so elegantly capture in this video. He loved the outdoors.
Best to you. And thank you. My wife and I watched it in full last night.
Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear about your friend. I know it must be a crushing loss for everyone. I’m sending you all big hugs from Boulder. Thanks for your kind words, and I’m glad that Mother Nature’s beauty could help ease your pain.
I’m so much more connected to this bike ride with no music . I thank you
Glad you enjoy the natural sounds
This video just made me realise how much i love dogs.. 13:55
Me too
@@duzer Saying good bye to Mira really got me. I had a border collie with a very similar temperament, I really miss her.
I love the fact that this awesome video has no silly, cringey music. Just pure raw sounds of nature, wind and bicycles 💜
It was like a Documentary !
The amount of people providing free shelter is outrageous and amazing. What legends.
Makes me feel like I could hit the road with a couple grand in the bank and just travel the country on my bicycle for the rest of my life.
Wow. Took me 3 evenings to watch this all (had to check out all the stops on Google Maps). Completely blown away. Best video I've ever seen on YT. Amazing vibe, skilled camera work (and drone footage), great editing. Incredible.
Thanks Bob!! Glad that you enjoyed this, I truly loved the experience, and then putting it all together
You know what I like it the most? Where anybody will be pissed off. You keep smiling again and again.
I'm dealing with lung damage from covid. While I'm in bed watching this video who just showed up randomly, makes me want to ride my bike despite my condition and many other issues covid left me. I don't know how yet but I'm gonna make it, I'm gonna do that specific trail sooner or later. Thanks for inspiring people, thanks for spred joyful. 👍🏽
Hang in there and get well soon.. happy future riding mate.
@@monkisethojane2218 I'm doing okay, I need to learn how to ride with one lung. Besides that, I'm good! And grateful!
Wanting to send best wishes to you from the UK and to say that the beauty of cycling is that you can cover a long distance in a short period of time, or a short distance in a long period of time. I struggle to go more than a few days without having some form of a pedal so can only imagine how you must be feeling.
You'll get there. Keep believing and it will happen.
I have many injuries impairing my riding. I just dial back, lower expectations. I ride slower, and even use electric assist on some rides. I might need a solar setup. Do what you need to. Ignore the purists, and masochists.
how my parents described riding their bike to school every morning
Ha! Best comment
Barefoot....🤣🤣
Ha !
😂😂😂
yip, everything was always uphill
Mira is a treasure. What a sweetheart! It took a while for me to realize, there's little to no music in the video and I really appreciate that.
Yep, no music at all. Just the sounds of nature
The subtitles think the gravel under your tires is “applause” 😂
The gravel applauses. Nice way to think about it.
😂
Even the gravel was impressed. Legit subtitles me thinks 😁
What a way for the subtitles to translate that. I like it. Thanks for mentioning it.
uhhhh, what else would it be?
Obviously, the earth is cheering him on for learning how to actually live
how the ###### did you work that out - nothing better to do obviously. Ive found another gravel applause video ... oh geee ..
I connected my PC to my big screen TV just to be able to appreciate your video even more. This is as good as watching the Nat Geo channel, truly a wonderfully produced documentary
That sounds like an awesome setup. Hope you enjoy it
Such a great video. No unnecessary drama and music. Just humans and nature in coexistence
I got fired from my job and dicided to bike the gdt watching this for reaserch thx so much for this really puts what im going to do in perspective
HAve fun out there!
Bears?!
I teared up as you said good bye to the dog as well.
I like this video, because no music, so l can hear the sound of the wind, your tyre and other. Thank you, subscribed.
Thanks for subscribing, I appreciate it! Hope you enjoy my videos!
Are riding an electric bike??? I am thinking about getting one. In iowa where I live we have the Great bike ride across iowa which I would love to do; I am 67.
@@susannorman4476 Ryan's mom has an electric bike and loves it. But here he's riding a Priority 600 w/ a Pinion gearbox and Gates belt drive. If you search his channel you'll find videos of Ryan riding Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa. I say get the electric and join him! Pardon me for butting in, Ryan, but I didn't know if/when you'd see this question, being over a million views and all. :-)
I'm watching this as if I'm watching the movie lol this is awesome
I haven't guessed entirely that maybe Mira would be surrounded by a mix of interracial good friends. Maybe I'm aware now. That was all, her inclusiveness. I started watching this video but it was too long to watch it in a single sitting, I'll resume it other day. Great experience, I'm excited with the idea of making my own bikepacking adventures very soon. This video also gave me an inspiration for something I wished long ago : Bikepacking with a lovely pet. Great inspirational video. I'll resume it and my comment.
I’m in tears realizing iv been letting to much time go by and not pushing myself. What a motivational video. My heart swells with promise to myself to get moving !
I hope you do!! Getting outside is so good for your soul. Have fun with it
our last daughter graduates 2025 and this recap has my wife and i so stoked to take summer 2025 to ride this. not only will we be kid free but it'll be our first summer of retirement from 33 years of teaching high school kids. thanks ryan from fueling the fire. very enjoyable video
Right on!! You’ll love this experience. Thank for teaching our future!
Never heard of Ryan Van Duzer until yesterday. Now he's a mentor.
Hey thanks!! Lemme know if you ever have questions about bike adventures
Ryan…….. you are sooooo blessed to be able to enjoy this beautiful Mother Earth 🌎….. And also, to get to see how beautiful mankind can be to one another……. Strangers helping strangers. Your video brings out the inner beauty in us all. God Bless and many more safe riding. With no Crashy no Whammy and no Flatty’s
I’m french-canadian and l must say that you gave me another view of the " typical" american which is much more flattering and better than what we often times see and hear on the news , yup they’re people with big hearts everywhere ! That should become a country ...all people with big hearts under one flag ...oh well one can dream ... 💚
I appreciate that my friend, most of us are very good, and that goes for any country. Big hearts everywhere!
Greetings from another atypical American in South Korea who loves bicycle touring! So many great people in the world. Peace to you!
Haven't been to the French part of Canada yet, only been to B.C. Nice people. I have however visited France on several occasions. Many Americans have a negative opinion of the French. My visits have shown me otherwise. Very nice people there too. We're all more similar than we are different I think.
Ryan, thank you for respecting NM. We all need to do our part to keep each other safe even though it can suck.
yeah people over here have a very stereotypical view of Americans too (Denmark, Europe) but what I experienced in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansa, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Washington states were a LOT of warm and friendly people, some a bit too "political correct" that needs to losen up a little and live life... but generally welcoming people, taking me into their homes, sharing what they had and so on. You actually see that in most countries... ESPECIALLY when you get out of the big cities...
This is awesome. That guy cycling with his dog is so cool! Loved watching this
Couldn't help but laugh when the hail started at 41:27 and the dogs got googles on!
I have to say, I missed Mira towards the end of the vid.
I can't believe this is humanly possible, with all that weight. I might do this with pedal assist, until the battery runs out. Problem is that if the battery or electronics fail, ur cycling dead weight and heavy motor resistance
My wife and I started watching the first few mins. 2 hours went by. Amazing. I pray my wrist heals up so I can make the trip from South Africa to Tour Divide. Thank you. Great job.
Thanks for watching, I hope that you make it over here someday
LOVE THE DOG TAGGING ALONG ON YOUR ADVENTURE!!!!! and his little seat on the bike
idk how easy/hard it is to operate a drone but the fact that you took the time to get those shots is truly professional. very pleasant video to watch
I dont know why i feel this one more, without the fancy music in the background, this one feels more genuine and inspiring! Thank you Ryan, you continue to inspire people all over!!!
Happy to hear that! I like this version too
Just watched top to bottom (of Colorado that is...) What a gift! By that I mean the time you took to improve the viewers experience. The static shots, the drone launches and retrievals, the ride bys, especially the downhill ride bys.... All to improve our visual journey. Fantastic work. Thank you!
Didn't know you could enjoy the outdoors like this with a bicycle.
hello mate, stumbled across this video today and it might just be the best video i have ever watched on youtube. It's like magic, different friends joining you on the route but your constant companion... the trail in front of you. Makes you realise, in a pretty shitty time in our short history on this planet that most humans are really decent folk. Awesome editing, can't imagine how long you have spent splicing this together, you have a good energy friend.
But... that dog sold it to me man, she's better than all of us.
I really miss the dog
Mirra is one of the greatest treasures on this planet.
Gosh......that has to be one of the best travel videos I have ever watched. Amazing story telling mate. Blown away by how minimalist your kit is for a trip like that. Great lessons thank you for showing me your beautiful world.
Glad you enjoyed it. Less is more out there in the woods
@@duzer especially when you have to lug it up mountains.
I'll echo everyone else's statements, great work.
Was Mira's human on a Salsa?
@@roddheino Salsa Blackborow
I've just started watching, but immediately what jumps out to me is what struck me when I visited Montana several years ago: how many dead trees there are. Folks, yes there are always some, but across the western US, trees in the mountains are 30, 40, 50, 60% and more, standing dead. Climate change is real, and its impacts are already wide-spread. One way that Ryan's video is great is that maybe it encourages more people to get on a bike. From there, I urge you all to consider starting to swap car trips for bike trips: picking up the kids from school, running out for a few groceries, returning a book to the library. Anything, really. Every mile we don't drive is a mile we contribute to saving the planet. Thanks!
"It's nice having this little computer tell me what to do." Dude, you are going to LOVE the future!
Very smooth sound editing that goes easily unnoticed. That's when you know it's done right.
Thanks, I appreciate that you notice the little things that TAKE ME FOREVER! ;)
1. Even though I knew it was coming, I got so happy to see John and Mira when they appeared, and so sad when they they left.
2. That John is a powerhouse cyclist isn't he?
3. Love Dana!
4. It was fun to watch this ride all in one shot. What stood out was that you started the journey alone, picked up, and dropped friends along the way, and ended like you started.
I'm so glad that you felt all the feels, that was my goal with this video! And yes, john is a very strong rider!
I fell asleep and my algorithm had this playing on youtube and after watching most of it I have to say thank you for bringing back old memories. It was the summer of grade 11 and me and my friend Rocky rode our bikes from Vancouver to Jasper down to Banff across to Calgary down to Baab Montana, across Glacier National Park up Idaho and then finished with the hardest part of the ride across hwy 3 in BC back to Vancouver. It was 23 days w 2 rest days I rode a cannondale and Rocky had a rocky mtn and we had front and rear panniers a tent and our bikes both weighed over 100lbs. It was incredible the journey and we went through some stunning country and hit all types of weather even snow and met the kindest most generous people, I think he took 400 bucks and I had 700 and we both came back w money…. The camping was done on the side of the hwy mostly and the dinner was usually rice and beans my treat was always apple pie a la mode. If I remember correctly our biggest day was 3 mtn passes, needless to say we came back to grade 12 and walked on whatever team we wanted to join, it was the early 90’s and I feel that trip defined the rest of my life. A couple years later I moved to Banff to permanently live, didn’t have fear as a young man to move to the Carribean and live there for a few years as well or take 3 months holidays a year and travel to 44 countries. I’m 44 now, still active but watching this has reinspired me right when I needed it so thank you again for posting this!
I had tears when the dog left. I loved this video. I watched it fully. Love from Mauritius Island.
Oh wow! So cool to have someone so far away enjoying this video. Thanks for watching
This was an awesome vid. Like others have said, I got into it thinking I wouldn't watch the whole thing in one sitting, and then couldn't drop it. Even after watching the divide series not to long ago, the absence of the music makes it a completely new experience. And, it made me choke up again to see John and Mira, and Kevin leave. The editing is amazing! Thanks for all the work you put into this. I found myself yearning even more for the warmer riding days ahead.
Thanks Jose! I'm really happy that you enjoyed this version, I loved putting it together.
Ditto.
Such an incredibly immersive and uplifting video. Thanks for taking us along on this adventure. Amazing sights and sounds, but let's face it, Mira stole the show!
Mira is the best!
Her joy is wonderful to watch. I love the shots of John with his arm around her while he's pedalling. Best friends. :-)
Ryan, this is an amazing video and what a trip. I cannot imagine having that kind of stamina and fortitude. I am very familiar with much of that country. My wife and I would make an annual pilgrimage out west each year from Louisiana to flyfish. I am familiar with a lot of this area.... gorgeous. I love hearing the sounds of the wind, gravel, and squeaking gear. We met a couple who were riding from Canada to Mexico. Met them on a gravel road near Cochetopa Dome and left them with some fresh fruit and bottles of ice water. My favorite was always the high alpines and aspen groves.
I almost cried when John left! Amazing video! For the length, I was engaged the whole time! Keep it up man!!!!
I love this edit, soothing.
Also funny how the subtitles generator takes the sound of the tires rolling over gravel as an applause.
when john and mira left, had a lump in my throat 😭.
Why did they leave? I was also sad. Are they ok??
this is so true !
1:23:31
Mera is such a good pup she makes the whole teem shine
Thanks for the real experience of peace and quiet the way it is all the time. One of the best i have watched. SJ
Thank you!!!
it is not easy to get the camera shots you do while biking acrossed America. The drone shots are epic, and placing the camera ahead then backtracking + the editing shows the level of work involved and we appreciate it very much. God bless
Im not even going to lie. I was watching videos on how to use bike gears and somehow this started playing... and i can’t stop watching. Too bad I have to go to work in about 30
Minutes so I’m definitely going to have to save this to watch for later 😂🙌🏾
I appreciate you watching my video!! It’s fun to hear from people like you
Everything I love. The great outdoors. The west. Biking. The sound of nature. Good people! Thank you for the effort you put into this! A new fan
Loved it. Watched the whole things. Doing a 70 miler this week…longest I’ve done and I’m doing it in 3 days….so basically umm, yeah.
Have fun!
Bellissimo video . Grazie ☺️ mi hai fatto visitare la bellezza degli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸
AMAZING! Love this without music, love the sounds of Riding and Nature. Your enthusiasm is the best, your friends rock and Mira is a star!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@duzer Is Van Duzer a Dutch or Flemish name?
This is such a metaphor for life
we loved watching this with our kids! Thanks for the Family Friendly content! "Mommy I want a pedal bike!" When that voice says you can't It's helpful to say you can out loud. Perfect Movie!
Awesome! I grew up right where this video starts, I rode every square inch of that country on my bike. Beautiful
So beautiful up there
This is amazing. Wish I had it on Blu-ray because even at 1080p setting, CZcams can't quite handle natural scenery very well and makes a lot of it blurry/blocky (compression artifacts). Anyway, I'm still loving it. Edit: Mira is the coolest dog ever.
I really enjoyed watching from beginning to end and when John and Mira suddenly appeared it gave me a huge smile. 😃 Thanks for putting this together, you did such an awesome job and even though I loved the usual music this was really nice!
So glad that you liked this different style
Where did John and Mira go you never said when they just left ???
Thanks so much for sharing your adventures!!!
Great video. biked for many years, still biking at 83 years. I wish I could do that trip. I have to relive my memories at this point. looking forward to the next instalment of your trip.
God bless you robert! Keep peddling!
Love this video. Thank you so much. It is heart warming to see all the generosity and kindness shown by everyone you met. ( in stark contrast of what I saw on tv over the last 12 months ) My own experience of Americans I’ve met is that they are kind, friendly and polite. Love from Scotland 🏴
What a great video and adventure. Loved every moment of it. No dull points, kept my interest the whole time. Best adventure video on CZcams.
Thanks! I appreciate that immensely
Such a beautiful film. Reminder of what life is. The open road, a bike and a friendly dog
Thank you for taking the time to watch this, I loved creating it
Thank you for sharing your trip !!! It was amazing
This video was so satisfying...instead of watching some mindless nonsense on Netflix, this is a very fun video. The friendships, the scenery, the amazing athleticism and endurance to make such a long ride...and, of course, the star of the show...Mira! Thank you for doing this and sharing.
This is so good Ryan I can’t put it into words, I didn’t even know this trail existed. Watched every second of it including all the ads, wanted to make sure you get as much ad revenue and watch time from my view as possible. Thanks for taking us along with you.
WOW! You don't need to watch those ads, but I appreciate it ;) Thanks so much for watching this
Great video!!! Great photography! Thank you so much for sharing!
What an amazing journey! Thanks for sharing!
"All I have to do is pedal"
Truly the right way to approach not only this trail, but a lot of life. Embrace the journey and just keep moving forward. I'm only halfway in, but really enjoying this journey!
Superbly done. Whether one is a cyclist or not, this vid presents so much wonderful life, nature and inspiration. Better than any big budget sensationalized, embellished garbage of Hollywood to even PBS, Natnl. Geographic stuff. This fellow presents it most realism and feel to the screen. Kudos to no music!!!-Cheers and happy trails!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing your adventure.
That dog is absolutely living the best life. On many of my tours I have wished their was a trailer I could curl up in while someone pedaled away.
So glad this video popped into my feed and I could give you a sub while you're so close to that 100K! I'm 14 minutes in and this is amazing!
I’m glad that you found my channel, thanks for watching this!
Oh man that's one of the things I wanna do at some point in my life, watching this video inspired me alot, thanks for sharing!
Beautiful! Congrats!
Brilliant content! Such pleasant stories and crazy views! Awesome job
Ryan, i just spent 2 amazing hours of my life watching your ride. Great landscapes, lovely companions and amazing encounters. The amount of effort you put in is simply crazy! Please keep your positive state of mind and pass a huge hug to Mira next time you see her, she was such a great supporting role :-) All the very best from France and stay safe.
best 2hrs in awhile. awesome video. got me excited for my next summers ride across USA.
Your editing skills are on par with your human skills! Great journey, very inspiring!
Thanks!! I really appreciate that. Thanks for watching
Thank you for posting. Great adventure!
One of the best biking longest and coolest video on CZcams.
This should be turned into a series for PBS. Such a good production.
Thanks! I loved putting this together
Install lavatories along route first. Folks need a place to "go crap " every 30 miles or so, should do. Right now it looks like you're having to watch your step.
I love that there is no added music...
Thank you for this video. Loved the limited talking, no music, and natural sounds.
Very impressive footage. Nice drone work. Thank you.
Montana Grizzly Bear Notice:
In light of the rising frequency of human/grizzly bear
conflicts, the Montana Department of Fish and Game
is advising hikers, hunters, and fishermen to take extra
precautions and keep alert for bears while in the field.
We advise that outdoorsmen wear noisy little bells on
their clothing so as not to startle the bears that aren't
expecting them. We also advise outdoorsmen to carry
pepper spray with them in case of an encounter with a
bear.
It is also a good idea to watch out for fresh signs of bear
activity. Outdoorsmen should recognize the difference
between black bear and grizzly bear poop. Black bear poop
is smaller and contains a lot of berry seeds and squirrel fur.
Grizzly bear poop has little bells in it and smells like pepper
spray.
The record for stabbing a bear while it's eating your face is 14 times.
When I worked in Yellowstone, I'd tell hikers that the bells tell the bears supper is coming and the pepper spray, makes a great spice :)
I feel for Kevin going up those hills, walking is okay, he got up, that's all that matters. Mira! what a companion. Excellent film! Really enjoyed it. Hats off! Keep going, Ryan. 😀
Walking is super ok.
I’ve got to admit I had a good chuckle when he asked Kevin what he does to motivate when it gets hard and he says “I’m a beast, no mountain has anything on me” Then it cuts to him walking up the hill. But good on him, out there making it happen!
Gravel bikes sucks
Ya, what was his gearing though? Also tires look a bit narrow but love his spirit.
Beautiful film, love it!
Thank you.
