💪 Do Hard Things: amzn.to/3PhISpy
ℹ️ About the Episode:
If you haven't heard of RAGBRAI, it stands for Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa, and this year is the 50th anniversary. There were 30,000 bicyclists-a sight to see even if you don't ride-and the RV was the tool of choice for many riders, including us. It was up to Trish to navigate the truck and trailer solo across the state. This episode includes many special people, all up for the challenge of doing hard things. We look for opportunities that push us outside of our comfort zone and allow us to be a little more grateful for things we might take for granted. There's also the added benefit of knowing that if we can do this, we can do other things that are new and scary.
We don't normally recommend books we haven't read, but The Comfort Crisis: Embrace Discomfort to Reclaim Your Wild, Happy, Healthy Self comes highly recommended by Jeff. We know of the author, and we talked about this book during our 530-mile ride across Iowa. Truth be told, there isn't much we didn't talk about! You know we love books, and you might enjoy this one.
The other thing that made this challenge even more fun was the RAGBRAI checklist that Jeff & Deb created. You know how much we love lists, especially when it comes to making the most of an adventure. To get a copy of this list, click here.

Winston grew up with my nephews in Bluff Park Alabama. He and his family are special people. My family will be so happy to watch this!
Caleb is such an amazing young man. When he was helping Winston with the sunscreen, my husband and I both said "What a good kid". You've done right by that one. Well done!
🎉🎉🎉🎉
OMG I said the same exact thing. Glad someone else noticed that.
Winston leading the prayer warms my heart! Go KYD!!!🚴♂️🚴🚴♀️
I was just fixing to post this very same comment but the comment feature didn’t come up but then I saw yours. Thank you Winston for including God in your daily ride!
Their connecting with Winston was an unexpected treat and a testament to the KYD family. KUDOs!!
@@Melindalot
You including Winston in your ride says everything about you as people. Seeing Caleb help him & others shows shows the kind of parents you are. I think this was my favorite video you have ever made. You make the world a better place❤
Yes to all of this! My favorite KYD video too!
Winston starting each morning in prayer, blessed team. Outstanding show of human kindness. God bless you all.
THE BEST KYD YET!
I don’t want the day to come when Caleb goes off to his next stage of life. Can he just stay with you for another 10 years or so??!🥰
Me too! I cried last week when they were just talking about him leaving!
I worked with a lady once that had actually lost her son and she would get upset when mothers would be sad when their kids headed off to their adult life. I have always tried to keep that in my mind as all mine headed off. And, I am ssssooo curious what is next for Mark and Trisha after they all leave the RV nest. Sailing??!!
@@theicangram
According to their plan a couple years ago and their first ever videos, sailing is their end goal.
@@Hugo-Hernandez I hope that is where they go with it all. With some international travel mixed in!!
I think he needs to create his own channel and post little updates when he can.
In the midst of all the angst on the news, you guys are a breath of fresh air and true America. ❤
I agree 100, we all need a break from the media.
Welcoming Winston to ride with y’all made my heart happy. He’s a hoot!!
I did it in 1975, when I was a sophomore in college at Iowa State University in Ames Iowa.
I still have the patch I earned on that ride and 48 years later, I still remember it.
“I didn’t say I wanted a beer… you asked if I wanted one, and I said yes!” Winston has been taking lessons from Caleb.
I couldn’t cycle outside today so I rode the peloton. I waited until I had 5 minutes left in my ride, to start watching this video. Twenty five minutes later, my five minutes was up. I was totally engrossed. “Inspirational” doesn’t even start to describe you guys. ❤
We love the Peloton at the cabin. Thanks! Riding while watching riding is the best.
Don and Becky Lansing again. Original owners, “ Field of Dreams Movie Site”. Thanks for the shout out of “is this heaven”. We sure think so!! 😊
Winston, what a guy! Caleb, a true human being helping out. KYD with friends, is nothing but awesome! Looking forward to the next episode.
This episode has brought tears to my eyes. My younger son has done RAGBRAI and it on my bucket list to do it with him. BTW, Winston is awesome and an inspiration! (as are you guys and the KYD community!)
I have been in Iowa in July with 90 degree temp AND 1500 percent HUMIDITY!!! I thought I was going to die and I am from TEXAS! I have been meaning to mention what an outstanding young man Caleb is. Y'all have done a wonderful job raising him; so be very proud!!!
So nice of you to let Winston ride with you guys! What a neat person he is! I almost cried thinking about how much Charlie will miss Caleb when they were in the water! How is Caleb going to leave all of us? I may be crying now! We love that sweet boy who has turned into an incredible man right before our eyes! ❤
My favorite part of this episode is the kindness shown. Kindness to all especially Winston! Caleb helping Winston with sun screen and everything else was heart warming.
In 1973, I had a Des Moines Register paper route. I was reading all week about the "great bike ride". On Saturday I got my dad to take me to Williamsburg, the last overnight town, with my new 10 speed bought with my paper route money. There were eighty riders ,EIGHTY. Nobody had ever seen such a thing. I rode the last day of the ride. It's amazing to see what RAGBRAI has become.
We've been meaning to tell you for awhile now that we love, love, LOVE your cycling videos!! In fact, the main reason why we watch your channel is to see your cycling adventures! Caleb is absolutely amazing! Ah... Youth! 😁 Keep up the great work, you're all exceptional!
What a champion Winston is!! Very kind of the KYD team to ride with Winston!!! I have seen a lot of comments about Caleb and how great of young man he has become. The reason for that is that he has FABULOUS parents and family that is showing him the way!! GO WINSTON!!!!
To add to what Janet Connor said, it made me smile
When Ya’all just took Winston in! Yep I shed a little tear. Thank You KYD you are all amazing!!
Love all the camaraderie....everyone pulling together to accomplish the goal biking across Iowa. Fun for everyone.
Hello Merlefest friends…today would have been my late husband’s birthday. As a stoker of a tandem team this was a bucket list trip that was never completed. I feel some how I have experienced RAGBRI with out every completing it. Thank you. I have herd many a story about the pork chops. Tasty for sure. Again, thank you…enjoy the journey. ❤
Happy Heavenly Birthday to your dear husband Bessie! 🎉🙏
Now…prepare for RAAM…Race Across America.
We sagged this ride through our state a few times. What an incredible experience. 😮
You guys are fantastic storytellers! Can't wait for Part II!
I've never wanted to bike more than I have after watching this..... SO AWESOME!!
Thank you for showing RAGBAI. Iowa is truly a hidden gem. ❤
Winston: “I was looking for a group to ride with”. I’m sure he was not one bit surprised when the Lord dropped Marc and Caleb in his lap!
Not a biker here, but his is so cool! As an Alabamian, thanks for being so sweet to Winston! Y’all are the best!❤
I grew up in Nebraska and remember hearing about RAGBRAI, so I turned on this episode for my kids to learn about this fun event. Then the Winston clips had them asking about cerebral palsy, so our homeschool day took a turn to learn about that as well. So much heartwarming inspiration packed into this one - I teared up multiple times!
As a cyclist, full-time RVer, and former Half Ironman racer...I approve of this! Riding distance is a mind-clearing event
I am not a big KYDer. I have watched a lot of your videos but not every week. But I had to watch all of this one. My daughter lives in Des Moines, about a mile from Water Works Park. I have done RAGBRAI 4 times, 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2021. Really love it. Small town mid West is the best. Love the people! I generally stayed away from the big commercial vendors, and went with the small town groups raising money to support what ever they did. Churches, schools, fire departments, etc. My main goal each day was to find at least 1 slice of pie. I learned to start my day at first light, on the road before sunrise. Beat the heat and the over crowded roads. I always camped and wanted to find a shady spot to pitch my tent to relax on the hot afternoons. But I never started at 4AM! You got to ride through the stadium, I think it was 2018 when I did that. You didn't mention how hot it was this year, I heard it was a hot one! Congrats on finishing RAGBRAI. I am planning on doing it in 2024, might be my last, I'll be 72 then. Maybe I'll see you there!
I love that you found Winston to ride with. My uncle had cerebral palsy and was a paint-by-mouth art painter. Seeing Winston brought back memories. Jeff and Deb seem like wonderful friends, and what a cool list! Great video!
Loving this! We lived in Iowa for ten years. Ragbrai was such a big thing. It was so exciting whenever it came through our town. We had little kids at the time, so we never got to experience it as riders. But I have an uncle and cousins who have done it. I can’t wait until next week’s episode. I think I saw you were heading to coralville? We were pretty close to there.
Keep Your Daydream is what life, love, and true living to the full is all about. May God continue to bless you all as you are inspiring us. Tears of gratitude.
My absolute favorite part of this video is you all riding with the sun coming up. There is just something so special about the point where the new day begins with the rising of the sun. The day is brand new and it makes you feel like anything is possible! What an amazing adventure you have captured. Thanks for all your positivity and wonder you bring to the world. We sooooo need more of this type of inspiration!!! ❤
Iowa is such a beautiful state to ride through! Love yall 3000!
Love Winston! So awesome and brave. His prayers every morning is so awesome
My favorite thing about this video is Trish in the mornings. I like that she didn’t try to look like she was up and raring to go. She just got of bed and turned on the camera. That is why KYD feels so authentic. It makes me trust Leach family even more.
Hat's of to Winston! What a MAN!
So happy you were able to make it to RAGBRAI! I wish I could have met up with you, but we were riding out the heat wave camping in Indianola, Iowa at the National Hot Air Balloon Festival!
And to think I was proud of biking 8.2 miles around Mackinac Island last week for the first time visit. It's hard to imagine 500+ miles you guys did!😊
That's a nice ride! You should be proud.
Can’t wait! Y’all rock. So cool to see everyone helping everyone. Be safe and enjoy!
Love this! And good fun was had by all! Can’t wait to see next week’s video ❤
Wonderful job on the video, can’t wait until next week. So great to see an uplifting story of Ragbri. It was a hot one and you all handled it so beautifully.
Great job on the coverage... I can't wait for part two. I'm an Iowa native and you did an awesome job of showcasing our sate. BTW, I've been watching you since that first flat tire!
I've seen every episode. . . THIS is one of my favorites!! Thanks for sharing!!
Cool video, that’s an awesome event with tons of support. Congrats on surpassing 500K Subscribers!!
Absolutely enjoyed this video. Brings back so many memories from this years RAGBRAI. Can’t wait to see the next video.
What an absolute treat tonight's video is!!! I'm so excited for ya'll and the incredible experiences and memories you'll carry with you forever!! WooHoo!!!
That was fun. All the people of Iowa do a tremendous job of putting on this event and the list of things to do is amazing too. I was so grateful you left early on the 100 mile day as going into the cornfield any later might have been real tricky.
Loved it! A really all around super fantastic production. Excellent job of showcasing RAGBRAI. A big THANK YOU.
Great video! Winston is so blessed to have this experience with KYD!
This episode was so special. I don't often cry watching a KYD episode but I did this time. It totally said our country is full of great and wonderful people and KYD helps to show that every week. And Caleb, you are one blessed young man. You have two of the greatest parents and it shows mightily in your day to day actions. Looking forward to next weeks RAGBRA excursion. Thank you so much KYD.
Terrific vid, can’t wait for part 2. I’ve been a First AD in feature film production for 35 years, and for me it’s been cool to watch your camera, editing, music and VO skills get better and better over the years. Well done, team!
I have been waiting for this all season. So glad you broke it up into more than 1 video. Amazing job. Thank you for welcoming Winston into your group!!!
Oh man…part 2…..your killing me !!!!
Awesome as always ❤
Blessings
So much fun to watch! Thank you for another great video & God Bless 🙂
Oh my ! Just wow! So much fun! We used to cycle and you guys are making us want to start back!! I want to do this ride!!!! And love the checklist!!! You all are such an amazing family!!!❤
RAGBRAI!!! Yay! And another amazing video. Thank you so much for providing a way for this old lady (too old make the ride myself) to enjoy an epic bike ride through your eyes and experiences. God bless each of you. (Loved seeing you connect and build a relationship with Winston. He has inspired me to attempt some challenges in my own life.)
This is amazing! You guys have shown us so many amazing things to do. This one is one of my favorites. The whole concept of this ride is just perfect. Winston is such a great addition to this ride. Thank you for all that you guys do.
Another great episode! You guys really stoked me up on Ragbrai with the beautiful Iowan sunrise on the century ride. Thx for the motivation!!🙌🔥
In 2012 I had the incredible good fortune to ride RAGBRAI with my youngest son. 4 days in the 100s topping out one day at 118 9n the pavement on the century day. After we dipped our wheels in the Mississippi, I turned to my son and said, "Well, you can check that off your bucket list". He looked at me and said, "Dad, that was never my bucket list".
My husband has been (impatiently) waiting for this video! We moved from Iowa last year and miss events like these! So glad you got La Juas in Storm Lake-best of the best!
Great video! What a cool ride!!! Thanks for sharing.
Enjoyed watching this so much and I love that you all let Winston ride in your pack. What an amazing young man. Caleb this is a great life lesson for you and your helping Winston ❤
This brings back memories….. I’ve ridin RAGBRAI 4 times. Loved every moment of every ride. Thank you for documenting your journey and sharing it with us.
Fantastic video! Can’t wait for next week. You all are amazing and love Winston’s heart. Cheers from Texas.
Had a chance to see Ragbrai finish in Clinton Iowa when we traveled through there 2 years ago. It was amazing seeing all the bikes come in in the final day!!
One of your best videos! And we also got to meet you at the campground that weekend. You’re all so down to earth!
Thank you for sharing your adventures!!! Keep them coming!!!
I cried and laughed watching this amazing video! You being there with Winston was what brought me to tears! Grateful tears! I also love the morning prayer! I've been watching your site for a couple of years now but this is the first time I've commented. It is just such a great video! Wow! Didn't want it to end. Thanks for all your hard work to bring us along.
Good to see you down here ;) Thanks!
I LOVE this!! You are such wonderful storytellers and you captured this event beautifully! My husband and I are avid cyclists/Ironmen and we are IN for next year’s ride! Thank you for sharing this amazing event❤
You guys rock and from a roady as well keep it going. 25mph 90 miles in. You guys are in sane. Thanks for sharing and also staying with Winston. I also have a cerebral palsy child and this touch my heart. Love you guys and please be safe
You guys have no idea just how.much I admire what you are doing. AWESOME!!!
Great video! You guys are amazing. Meeting Winston and riding together just made my day. People like you guys make cycling amazing!!!!!!
Living in Iowa for 25 yrs and having RAGBRAI go through my town multiple times. It is great to see how much fun people have. Thanks for sharing your experiences
This is such an emotional video! Love it. Thank you once again for sharing your journey and reminding us all of the beauty of the world around us and the humans who call it home… for now anyway.
What fun time meeting all different people along the ride and everyone helping everyone with buck repairs or sunscreen
Love today’s episode looks like a lot of fun… keep up the great shows y’all are so awesome…❤❤
I missed you guys!!! Thanks for sharing a great inspiring experience!!! Ride safely!!!
You guys...why are my eyes tearing up when you link up with Winston?!? And leading the group in prayer? Just amazing people!! Can't wait for next weeks video!! God Bless!
Watching Winston ride on his recumbent trike makes me want to ride that next year on my recumbent trike. 😍
Awesome job riding!! Loved this so much!
You guys thrill me. To see the country on a bike is got to be amazing. Thank you for always sharing your adventures.
Such an awesome video, and a great family experience!! I grew up in Sioux City, Iowa, and Ragbrai is something that everyone looks forward to every year. I’m too far up in South Dakota now to help out, otherwise I’d definitely open up my yard and RV to the bikers, but I absolutely loved seeing the locals joining in on the road! The kids with the water hoses were awesome!! Lol Actually, my Dr rode in it this year and he rescheduled my appointment! Haha Then I guess he quit on the 3rd day because the heat and humidity were just so brutal this year, so I’m extremely impressed by you all!! I can’t wait to see part 2! Great job!!👍🚴🏼🚴♂️🚴🏻♀️
I’m so glad I stumbled upon your channel. I love being introduced to new things I can do in states that I have previously visited!
Wife and I were literally, in Storm Lake at that time visiting relatives. Sorry we missed the chance to say Hi. Maybe next year. As always, great heart felt movie. Helping others!
This was so much fun! I can't wait for part 2!
Awesome recap… This brought all of memories back. AND it was good to see the KYD crew in Davenport. I’m looking forward to the sequel.
This video is awesome!!!! Can’t wait for part 2!!!
I just signed up for my first ever RAGBRAI! There are so many videos to watch- I feel like I know the event on a personal level, even though I have never taken part. Thanks for your video!
Great episode and congratulations on 500k subs!
Y’all are such an amazing family! Love watching your videos each week! God bless! 😊
Great vid! So glad Winston scooped you all in, God bless!
been enjoying all u r clips, keep them coming
What an awesome event. Loving the cycling content. Keep it up 💪🏼
So exciting!🎉 Can't wait until next week.😊
Got so excited to see you ride into the Stadium! Had these Iowa State alums cheering!
Truly inspiring video and well timed here... Thanks 👍
Fabulous! Great sound track, Marc!! 🙂Upbeat, energetic, happy...
Great episode. Winston is correct, there is a difference in wanting something verses being asked if you want something. Beer in the morning is very nice, I must admit. What a great trip, can't wait for #2
LOL, you made the same mistake we did last year. By midnight we were done with the generators and moved our van. After that we found great quiet spots. It was a blast!
Really great show, so glad you guys met Winston and took him along, it is amazing the way good peopel treat eachother
