The 'Camping Neighbor's' PA accent is perfect and the birch beer makes me homesick. And the Shirk's Bike Shop Jersey.
C’mon home
i love DIRT BAGS filled to the brim with even dust of dirt
Usually filled to the brim of Busch Lite
This video just popped up as a suggestion, and I'm glad that I watched it.
Looked like a great route through some epic countryside. We have nothing like this in the UK.
More importantly, it's three buddies getting out there and loving life. 👍
Yoooo thanks for tuning in! Gravel exists even when it doesn’t 🤙
Cheers
Nicely done, guys!!!👍👍
Crazy ride, crazy video. Im going to have to plan a trip like this one of these days
If you don’t do it this year you’ll be one year older when you do
It was cool seeing you guys hitting some of the UnPaved stops, love me some Poe Paddy.
Errrrbody loves Poe Paddy 🙌 some of the best bits is that UnPaved goodness!
Yes it was very cool to see
At 38:12 one of you makes a left across a road, seemingly without looking. Reminded me of a buddy who did that (summer of 79) & was hit by a car moving 60mph. Miraculously he survived & wasn’t even seriously injured. The car took the bike out from under him and launched him into the air. We still talk about his near death experience 45yrs later.
Summer of ‘79 sounds like a Kenny Chesney song! Is your friend a robot?
This video is flipping amazing. Cheers from Western PA!
Cheers!
Gobs or Whoopie pies?
Gumbands or rubber bands?
Steelers or eagles?

You fellas need to make some Choochin apparel!
❤❤❤❤. Hey Justin 👋
Worth the ride just for the Whoopi pies .
Amen 🙏
Watching this in class with my headphones under my shirt right now, great video!
Hope ya had 👖on…
Massive Clink!
Dude yesss. UnPaved was at the heart of this project. Clink!
A friend and myself built the cabin between the bridge and tunnel in poe paddy. Love it up there, it's about 45 mins from me
that cabin is rad!
Good job Don. 😊
Hello to you 👋
Insane I start looking for bikes today in kennett square, and this pops up on my feed. gotta love the algorithm.
It works!!! Time to head north 🤙
Well done gentleman, I loved your route, ingenuity ( home depot husky strap ) and your accommodations, your film is phenomenal !
Appreciate the love. Donnie’s meat cabin and Mountain Top Provisions in Haneyville is a must see!
He’s doing a great job. 😅
Hey Steve 👋
Yeah @hushMoney!!
Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed it very much.
Thanks for watching.
Awesome video...have done some parts on UnPAved.
Great ride and excellent job on the vid
😊😊😊😊
wowzers! you guys are animals! love it!
Love the channel love the video. I live in South Central PA. I have been all over northern PA, I never even thought about cycling up there. Well I’m not known for thinking. I’m looking forward to more adventures. I’m inspired now. Thinking maybe I’m ready for a cycling trip myself.
“I’m not known for thinking” yep you’re one of us. Get up over those mahntains ‘bot!
Awesome Random Video that popped up on my suggestions. I'm from Northern PA and Loved seeing all the familiar areas. Great video and adventure guys!
What’s your rating of Dandy mart scale of 10? Zero meaning as good as WaWa and 10 better than olive garden.
I wasn't prepared for this question! THAT Dandy I would give an 8/10, just below the importance of those whoopie pies XD BUT the pine creek valley is a 100/10@@the_dirtbags
that looks like an epic route and ride
Pennsylvania is a great state for bike touring. I'm gonna be back there next year. Looks like you guys had a great time. Awesome video 👍
The greatest state! Right on, we’ll see ya next years, hopefully on the PANTS
Rad video!
TONIGHT 8p 🤙 We’re jamming live at Hush Money Bikes 🌎 HQ for the live premiere!
Looking fwd to this next year! Thanks for sharing and putting it together!
Don’t forget to have a good one! Let us know how it goes..
Great stuff!
Yeeeyeeee 🤙
stay tuned for the classification of gravel calendar. Budget gravel in January to God’s gravel in December 🤙
I enjoyed this video very much! Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure! Stay cool ✌️
I don't care what anybody says, that hair was the highlight of the video. The money shot at the end under that fresh white DB lid was :chefkiss:
It would turn heads at a Texas Roadhouse
Sick trip fellas. Nice video/editing! 🤙🏼
yeeehawww 🙏
Thanks for sharing - I just came back from a ride through PA from N-S albeit a bit west from where you guys rode. Watching this I'm adding the PANTS route to my adventure trip backlog. Cheers!
Yesssssss. We watched your journey! Looked like a beaut bot!
C&o bicycle! Cool place, cool people. Stopped there on my c&o/gap ride in thr beginning of October.
Yup. Hung there for a minute after eating whoopie pies
I can’t seem to find “Chooched” in the dictionary… 😂 looks like a killer trip fellas! Well done!
Chooched: “that wood stove is friggin choochin “
“My legs are chooched from that climb”
“I’m all chooched up”
😜@@the_dirtbags
lol funny
You’re funny😂
Well done! Was cool to see the history, especially around the unPAved Susquehanna course (Poe Paddy, whoopie pies,etc)
This is the best part. Pennsylvania! You don’t need to travel far to get what ya need!
@@the_dirtbags Yessir. Subbed 🤘
Guys, what a great trek and great video. I love PA. Congrats!!!
LOVE PA!
Much love for PA. Where are you from
High quality viewing! Would love to ride with you cats. Please PLEASE tell me what song is playing at the 9 minute mark. That's such a beautiful track.
That security guard at Raystown is a legand!! Been there for years!!!
Philthadelphia
PA Wilds hold up to its name for sure. Let us know if you’re ever up for a NEPA gravel cruise!
NEPA we coming
Let's go!
You 3 dirtbags -- riding and video well done. Would love to try this. Haven't heard of any traffic...a route I might like to try. l
Go for it! Just get out and send’er yea?
WOW!! First time watcher. INSTANT SUB CLICK! Such an underrated channel! MUCH LOVE FROM FXBG VA❤
Wowzers. Haven’t heard a review like that since Fudruckers Burgers Circe ‘02
Just fantastic. New bucket list item and moving it to the top. Also great editing/storytelling.
Tell me so I can prepare because I need to - how long were you in the saddle each day?
Yooooo thanks for tuning in! This ride was a fine taste of pa 🤙 roughly 6-8 hours of riding every day, we chilled, we pedaled, we ate, and we pooped in ports potties. Enjoy the ride. Follow us for a new route coming out soon!
After meeting y'all at Poe Paddy, I wondered how the rest of the ride was. Great vid! Hope to run into you in the wild again. - Local Historian Campground Neighbor 😂
Yesssssssssss 🙏 we have found you! Without your history this production would have been meaningless!
@@the_dirtbags thanks for fact checking my bs, loved how you incorporated it. If you're back in the area let me know, I'll glamp next to you and would hit the farmers markets and Amish bakeries to see if you can find your 10\10 whoopie pie
We attempted to piece together a route this summer from Buffalo, NY to Pittsburgh this summer and found out that PA is hilly! The gear range on my gravel bike was not up to the task. I think I walked 25% of the route. Your trip looks like it was a terrific adventure. Great job guys. 🎉
Every adventure is good one! Ahhhh yeee once ya git dahn there by Chautauqua county things start going uphill! It’s like a cork in the ocean up and down. Cheers to the next one homie 🤙
Wow this video just popped up after watching some NorCal stuff. As a NY guy that visits Mt Airy in the Poconos I can't believe the elevation you dudes were hitting. Over 27K feet!!! I noticed that you dropped your packs on the last day or riding. I bet that was nice on the last day to lose about 75 lbs of gear. Great video!!!!
Welcome home! It’s like a cork in the ocean, up and down those mahntins
Great movie.
Great comment.
Thats a sub from me, boys, all the way over here in Ireland
Yeeeeeee. Ireland. Pennsylvania. Same thing
I need this in my life. Great work boys.
Yes. Yes you do 🙌

Hell Yeah !! GOB dam good show! THANKS 🍻
It was a whoopie of a time, almost as good as half priced apps at Applebees
Awesome job Jake 👏
Thanks Homie 🤙
What a fun video. You guys are all stars!
Last time we were all stars were in little league, feels good to be back!
37m no kids. Solo tracklocross dirtbagger in, Maine but grew up in Baltimore. You guys are the salt of the earth. Currently accepting new friends? 😂
That’s the best compliments a human has ever given us. Anyhow you’re in!
Shit can I get on this list down here in NC would love some dudes like this to ride with! Great video!!
@@hardtailjefeNorth Carolina DIRTBAGS?
The GOBZ at Sheetz are actually made at a place called Shirley's Cookies
4 out of 10
Nothing special like you said too much sugar and if you seen the people making em youd probably give it a 2 or 3 lol@@the_dirtbags
Great trip, makes me miss PA, might have to do this route when I visit next time
Come home to where your ❤️ is
Some of that gravel looks heavenly to ride on. Looks like you guys had a blast and ate well.
On the Salsa, I could see your total load coming to 100lbs.
I noticed how you struggled with your cinching straps. Have a look at ROK Straps. They use a combination of nylon webbing with an elastic segment and release clips. The challenge with strapping gear to the top sometimes involves making sure that there's no play, and these straps help because there's always that elastic tension when you need it. They come in different lengths and colors. I ended up buying the black with reflective pattern for my Surly Troll.
Gods Gravel! Can you get it at harbor freight?
@@the_dirtbags I don't see them listed on Harbor Freight. I know Amazon carries them and Walmart will sell them as well, but you might have to order them online if they don't have them in your particular store. I don't know who all else carries them.
The straps come in different lengths, so take note of that when you buy. Standard length is 12" to 42" with a 1/2" width. The Commuter version does 12 to 24" which is ideal for most cyclists. Longer "ATV" versions start at 18" to 60" length with 5/8" width, which is likely too long for your bicycle needs. I have two sets of commuter, and two sets of standard (just in case I need to tie down lots of bulk).
We’ll have to save up our Sheetz reward points!!
Awesome ride gents. So much stoke!! I am from New York and I enjoy going to see the PA wilds.
They get better every time ya go, kinda like the gift that keeps on giving.
@@the_dirtbags Dude, deffiently!!! And that's the kind of ride and stoke you want to have for a route. I am probably going to like with the C@O and ride into to D. C to end my ride.
This route looks rad. I am trying to make my 2024 the year of the long trips so definitely going to borrow some of this route, I love PA
Take it all!! Say hi to Donnie at the meat cabin for us
This rules so hard. It is my destiny to ride this route.
This is the way
I live in PA and am just now getting interested in bikepacking hit me up of you ever wanna ride ✌️
Yeeeehawww. Get a 500 lb. ratchet strap and send’er
Great video lads! I grew up in Maryland and put many miles on the C&O Canal Towpath back when I was in HS. What are your thoughts on that Brooks C17? I'm doing Tour Aotearoa in January and thinking about investing in one if it will significantly improve ass pain.
Not sure what those things are but peanut butter or white icing whoopie pie?
great jobs guys, well done! can you tell me where can I buy the black shirt you are wearing at 3.15 please ? thank you

Thank you! Buddy and I are looking for a summer route after doing the VTXL last year. Thanks for sharing your experience 😁
@@mikewilander3729 VTXL on our list!
Grizl Gang represent. Awesome route, awesome video. So many spots I know really well. Restless Oaks is a local favorite.
Griz 🙌🙌🙌 restless oaks is fire, 10/10 pancakes
This was amazing guys. Loved it. You guys are legends.
I'm still not sure exactly what a Whoopie Pie is, but I respect the reviews.
The whoopie pie, alternatively called a black moon, gob (Pittsburgh area), black-and-white, bob, or BFO (for Big Fat Oreo), is an American baked confection that may be considered either a cookie, pie, sandwich, or cake. It is made of two round mound-shaped pieces of usually chocolate cake, or sometimes pumpkin, gingerbread or other flavored cakes, with a sweet, creamy filling or frosting sandwiched between them.
I feel like I know every bit of road on this trip... but the closest my bike comes to this route is when its strapped to the roof!
Keep inspiring us!!! and pushing us to do bigger rides!
Yeeehaweww. Star tuned for the gravel calendar. Gods gravel to budget gravel!
Ok so I wasn’t so sure about you guys until….”baby poop buttery smoothness” ok your my people now!!! 😂😂😂😂 that got a Subscribe from me!
Yessssssss 🙏 whoopie pie filling might be the next chain line technology!
Yo, this sh*t looked like a great time
And through one of my favorite places on earth, Poe Paddy
F-yeah
Poe Paddy is dope, Pennsylvania is rad

If you have a list of places you stayed, it would be very helpful if you could share it.
