Cycling The Ohio River Scenic Byway

- Follow along on the 3rd stage of my 2021 bike touring expedition. On this trip I'm following the Ohio River Scenic Byway from Pittsburgh, PA to my home in southern Illinois. It took me 12 days to cover the 775 miles along the Ohio River. There's plenty of industry along the river as well as lots of historic pretty little river towns waiting to be explored. Mix that in with stretches of awesome roadway in the Ohio Valley to make for an epic bike touring adventure. From Pittsburgh, I took the Montour trail and clipped the panhandle of West Virginia on the Panhandle trail. From Wheeling, WV I followed the Ohio River through Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois.

Paul is a genius. But does not even know it. Just some of the best biking videography ever. Plus his fabulous maps. Great music. Superb commentary. No wasted words. 🙃
Man, you are too kind. I'm just having fun mixing my 2 favorite hobbies. Bike touring and making videos. Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it. Hope to see you down the trail. Stay safe and ride on! (Sorry for the slow response).😎
I think everything about this is remarkable. The whole ride. The video. The editing. I think this is your best one. As someone who has only made it to 50 miles once, I'm in awe of your long rides.
Thanks for watching and leaving the nice comment. I'm still an amateur, but it's a fun hobby and I'm glad you think they're getting better. I think they're getting better too. A half century ride is still a pretty good haul. Just think of it as a whole bunch of half centuries, one after another, after another. Thanks again!!😁
Paul this is Tom Wallace I commeted eariler that I was following your roi/e we left Pittsburgh 17 days ago and we reached the Mississippi River at Wicklifft Ky on day 13. We then took your advice and ended our bike ride at home on day 17. Your video was invaluable to us on this ride . I wat hed it each day. Our ride when complete was 1265 miles.
Sorry about the slow response. Been out biking. Sounds like a great trip. I love the Ohio Valley (minus all of the industry). Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it. Hope to see you down the road. Stay safe and ride on!
really enjoyed your adventure!!! 57 year old army vet livin here in germany since 1986, and love seein views of the countryside. grew up in moundsville wv on the ohio river. was blessed growing up there and enjoying fishing and the outdoors. i miss that from time to time. but its nice to watch your videos, and i thank you for that. God bless.
Thanks for watching! The Ohio is one of my favorite rivers. It's not just scenic, there's alot of cool history along the river. When I retire and can't ride anymore think I'm going fishing. Thanks again and thank you for your service. God bless you too.
Hey Paul,
Huge fan here! I've been into bikes my whole life, so seeing your adventures is like living vicariously through the ultimate cyclist.
I'm also a bit of a film nerd, and I have to say, your video style is pure gold. I started watching for the bike touring, but I stayed for the cinematic magic. The cadence of your voice blends perfectly with your music selection and your transitions, and even those subtle special effects are great! Creating travel videos is no joke, and your B-roll is always on point. I'm always making excuses for my own lack of good B-roll, but you're my inspiration to keep trying.
Keep Riding!
Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it. Those are some mighty kind words. It's a fun hobby. A chance to be creative. Hope to see you down the trail. Stay safe and ride on!😎
This is the purpose of CZcams. Videos like these are real gems
Thanks!! 😎
I found your channel through Kentucky Cycling channel. Your tours are very inspiring. You are relatable & do a great job of making the videos interesting & motivating. Stay safe!
Thanks for watching! Nathan from Kentucky Cycling is a great guy and I was flattered that he would have me on his podcast. Fun! Thanks again and Ride On!
We live on the trail! The road from Vevay Indiana to Madison Indiana. Glad to see they have a trail from Pittsburgh to WVA. Our stretch in Indiana is curvy and no shoulder. The bicyclists we see out here on it are so brave!
Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it! I love the Ohio Valley. The Ohio River is a national treasure. Stay safe and Ride on!!
I know it’s 3 years after the trip, but I really enjoyed watching the whole trip. You have a welcoming style.
Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it. Stay safe and ride on!
And thank you for documenting your ride so I could enjoy it!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it. Stay safe out there and ride on!!
Paul's videos are some of my favorite bike touring videos. Plain spoken, optimistic, practical and fun.
Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it! 😎
I enjoy the music in your bike touring videos'. It seems to reflect the geography / culture and climate of the route you are biking .
Cool, thanks! I appreciate it. The music is half the video. Thanks again.
I love this! My adventures have me paddling a good stretch of the OHIO between Portsmouth and Meldahl Dams and am very excited for this seasons discoveries. Thank you for sharing! Well done.
Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it! I love the Ohio Valley. Stay safe and ride on!!
Cheers from a cyclist from Berlin , Germany.
Your videos are great.
Glad you like them. Thanks for watching! Greetings from the USA.
I love your videos and the fact that you are a teacher. I just finished my first year as a fourth grade self-contained teacher. What a great way to spend summers.
Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it. I love being a teacher. The time off in the summer is also great. I retired this year, after 34 years. Now I want to become a full time adventuerer. Thanks again. Hope to see you down the road. Stay safe and ride on!
You are the real deal! I just watched a video in which the bikes were driven to the trail, the riders ate every meal in restaurants, and stayed in motels every night. There was nothing on their bikes but a water bottle, and a small rack bag. WOW! It must be nice, but it's not what I call bike packing or touring. To each his own! Personally , I can't afford it. I'm 72 years old, on a very modest fixed income. I have an artificial hip and knee, and no automobile. I do hard core bike touring, like you, and I thank you for the inspiration, and all the great tips. I'm getting ready for a 250 mile trip from Columbus to Cincinatti AND BACK! Keep up the good work. Be Well, my friend, and Prosper!
Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it. Hope to see you down the road. Stay safe and ride on!
Love these vids. Fantastic ride, thank you for taking us along brother. Stay safe out there and ride on!
Thanks for watching! Hope to see you down the road.
Thanks for creating this video. I used to spend my summers in Southern Illinois with my grandparents.
My great grandfather used to deliver the US Mail via barges on the Ohio River. I now live in Ohio, with military buddies in Pittsburgh.
I’m gonna have to ride that scenic bi-way before I kick the bucket.
Again, thanks!

Thanks for watching my video. The Ohio valley from Pittsburgh to Cairo is a snapshot of America. You really see a living history in the towns and the people along the river. And bicycle is the best way to see it. Have fun. Hope to see you down the road!
Wow what a great adventure! When I first stopped by your channel I had found my way there because of interest in the C&O and didn't realize you were making this grand loop. I really enjoy your video's and your commentary. I'd love to go ride my bike now...but there is way too much snow here in Minnesota.
Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it. It was a great adventure. Spring comes slow up there in the Great White North, eh?😁 Stay safe and ride on!
Hey Paul, love ya riding stories and ya voice. Sitting back and watching your shows have been not just enjoyable, but also addictive. Ya “go ride your bike” also has rekindled my interest of riding. I have now swung into action, started fixing up my commuter bike and getting various accessories, hopefully I will be hitting the road soon for short trips. Cheers mate, go ride your bike :-)
Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it. Sounds like a plan. Stay safe out there and ride on!!
Never fails: I'm already grinning even before I hear the "Now go ride your bike!"
Great video! I'm a North Coast Buckeye but now I'm putting this trail on my list!
Thanks for watching! Ohio has some great riding opportunities. I love the Ohio Valley. Ride On!
Very enjoyable, beautiful scenery, like riding around by myself.
Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it. Ride on.
Love your videos! I'd like to see one that shows how you produce them singlehandedly -- you have drone shots looking down at you riding, and the real puzzlers are the shots as you ride past the camera and it pans with you. Great stuff, and your production quality has really become excellent.
My wife and I ride a Trek T900 tandem. One thing we always have on our rides are "missing link" chain repairs -- with two chains that are critical, gotta be able to repair them (broke the main chain once and was glad I had them!)
Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it. I call them 'drive by shots'. I use an Insta360 camera, set up next to the trail or road. As I ride by it, it records everything 360 degrees around the camera. In the editing process you can make the camera follow the subject, or move anywhere within that 360 degree view. It makes it look like someone is behind the camera moving it. Thanks again. Stay safe and ride on!
Great video, thanks! I cycled my version of the ACA Northern Tier and wound up on the Panhandle and Montour as I headed to PGH from Ohio. Stopped in OH for a family reunion, decided to skip New England, and took the GAP/C&O into DC. Finishing a long tour with several hundred miles off road on trails was perfect. I love bike touring, but seeing those shoulders with rumble strips along the edge reminded me of the miles I have walked when tractor trailers and heavy traffic in both directions created too much stress. Rail and canal trails are American gems, wish we had more of them.
Sounds like a great trip! Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it. Hope to see you on the trail. Stay safe and ride on!!
I'm heading back to Cincinnati from Pittsburgh and this video inspired me to also follow the Ohio river back, thanks!
Thanks for watching. Have a great ride. Stay safe!
Great video! Appreciate you sharing your journey with us and inspiring us to get out there on our bikes. Thank you!
Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it. Hope to see you down the trail. Ride on!
Great video I started riding my bike I got from walmart one year ago. I had two strokes from high blood sugar. The bike changed my life I went from 260lbs to 200lbs blood sugar is normal and I feel like a new man. I've always thought about bike touring and your videos encourage me to start. The scenery in your videos are awesome. Maybe one day I'll see you out there be safe and thanks for the info
I also like cycling for the exercise. Heart disease runs in my family, so I'm trying to put the odds more in my favor. Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it. Hope to see you down the road. Stay safe and ride on!! 😎
Great video! - Rhode Island
Thanks for watching!!!
Paul, thanks for the great videos. Wish we had known you were biking through Corydon, IN. My wife and I would have bought you a meal and provided a place to stay. The Hammer's
Next time! That was my first time biking through southern Indiana. That area along the Ohio River has some amazing places to see that I didn't know about, like Corydon. But that's the neat part about traveling, seeing places that I didn't even know was there. Happy trails to the Hammer's!!
I really enjoyed the videos and the factual commentary. A big thanks from Singapore and happy trails.
Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it. Greetings from the USA. Stay safe and ride on!!
Oh yeah, I enjoyed the bike ride with you... but I was sitting on my couch 😁
I enjoyed riding it and I'm glad you enjoyed watching it. Thanks! 😎
You are great inspiration. I’m thinking about a long distance ride. Please keep the trails and tales coming.
Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it. More to come. Stay safe out there.
That was,quite a loop that you did. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks again!😎
Awesome biking sightseeing !
Cool 😎 !
Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it. Hope to see you down the trail. Stay safe and ride on! 😎✌
You really know how to keep your viewers interested. Nice video! I appreciate all the work, on the road and with the editing and planning what you're gonna say, etc. Super fun to watch. Looks like you had a blast.
I appreciate that! Combines 2 of my current favorite hobbies, bike touring and making youtube videos. I'm glad you liked it> Thanks for watching!!
Enjoyed…I ride the Panhandle Trail at least once a week…Bumped into Dave Matthews at Waldens several years ago…He was riding the trail as well!
Walden's was a little local place to eat with the nicest people. Vickie said she was named after the queen, Victoria. It's a great trail. Hope to see you. Ride on!!
Good trip. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Wish I knew you were in town 😎🤙🇺🇸
Cheers 🍻
😁 Thanks. Next time. If your in southern Illinois look me up. We're just down river about 700 miles.👍
Great video. I love to follow rivers too, on bike rides and hikes.
Thanks for watching. Rivers are natural transportation corridors. It's only natural that we'd want to follow them. Ride on!
Thanks. Great pictures. Love your laconic narration.
Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it. 😎
Thanks Paul.. Looks like you had a Great Summer.. Thank you for Sharing... Pedal On !! Billy Bikes...
Thanks again for watching! Spending the summer traveling on bike is a great way to see the country. Hope to see you on the road!!
@@paulsuchecki3985 That would be very cool.. I’ll hit you up next spring 🚴♂️😎☕️
What a rainy trip! You’re a great sport about rain. I’m similar to you. I don’t mind it if it’s not cold. Some people can’t stand getting wet at all.
Can't control the weather. Thanks for watching and Ride on!
Great job on the. Ohio scenic byway tour. I have really enjoyed watching your very informative rides. It's nice to see the world from a n other perspective. I a trike rider because I have issue with Ballance.. I haven't been able to ride since last February becaus I had a bad fall :(while walking) abd broke my right shoulder & now I'm rehabbing from shoulder replacement surgery. I think that I would like to try som of your trails when I'm heeled up.
Thanks, I really appreciate it. I'm glad to be riding again. My left arm took the worst in my crash. I'll be sticking to rail trails for a while. I hope you heel up fast and well. Thanks again. Hope to see you on the trail. Stay safe and ride on!!
Great video. Informative, lots of visuals, some pro tips...good stuff!
Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it. Stay safe and ride on!!
man I love your videos and stories about the bike touring, I can't wait to do it as well, I'm hoping next season in '23 will start with something nearby in Central IL, keep it up with the great adventure sharing! cheers!
Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it. Hope to see you down the road. Stay safe out there and ride on!!
Hi Paul, another nice ride. Thanks and all the best, Steve
Thanks, Steve. All the best to you too. I hope to retire soon myself and become a full time cyclist. Thanks again!!
I really like this view of the USA. A lot of what we see on TV isn’t the most attractive, but this I can appreciate. Thanks for taking us along!
Sorry about the slow response. Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it. Glad you like it. Stay safe and ride on!!
Another great one, Paul! Thanks again. G
Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it. Stay safe out there.
Another great ride thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching. Stay safe and ride on!!
love from the UK..i love your films and its inspiring as I'm 53 and I'm big too.
Thanks for watching. Keep on pedaling!
Just discovered your channel, you rode through my neck of the woods on this one, Scioto county Ohio. Actually you probably rode right by my house . Love your style of videos.
Thanks for watching. I love the Ohio River Valley. Great place to ride. Hope to see you down the road!
Interesting note what famous person is from maysville KY?…Rosemary Clooney …I was born in ironton right on the river that southern most tip you skipped so much history on the banks of the Ohio much of it before the Europeans showed up. The locals pronounce it gal ih po lees and ports muhth I wish there was a dedicated path along the Ohio that would be an epic ride
I love the Ohio river. I just looks so peaceful, but it's very powerful. It's a beautiful river. The industry detracts a little, but the Ohio valley is a great place to grow up. Thanks again for watching!!
Paul, great video. A friend and I are following your route and are having a great ride. I watched your video each night for the following day. we are in Gallopolis tonight. We are headed to Portsmouth tomorrow
Awesome! Sounds like a great trip. Stay safe and Ride on!!😎
Missed that first view this time, but I still enjoyed the video. On a side note my twin daughters both became teachers this year, one 6th grade English, the other is the Art teacher (same school).
I should have given a heads up, but thanks for watching. I like teaching, but I'm ready to retire and go bike touring full time. Thanks again!
Epic, thank you
Thanks for watching!😁
Born and raised in Madison Indiana. Now live in Mount Vernon, Wa. Enjoyed watching your trip. Ohio River Valley is a great place to ride. Rode many times. Planning to move back to Madison in a couple years and ride more.
I love the Ohio Valley. I also love the PNW. Do you remember humidity? Madison is one of the nicest river towns that I went through, but when I was there it was 95 degrees with 95% humidity. I couldn't wait to get into some AC. Thanks for watching. Ride on!
@@paulsuchecki3985 Yes, I remember the humidity very well. Much different here thou. In August my wife and I visited hometown friends. That trip brought back humid memories.
Loving the videos Paul! Thanks! I know it's tough uploading them during the teaching year. Cheers! 👍🏻🧑🏫🚵
Thanks for watching! I need to quit my job and go bike touring full time!!
@@paulsuchecki3985 Ha ha! I feel the exact same (but still love teaching). Can we teach others how to bike ride and still get paid? 🤣 Thanks again for the awesome videos. I'm hoping one day to do your travels (starting with the Erie Canal). P.S. I need to start doing some Canadian bike tour videos.
Just started watching your videos. I have been wanting to get into some bike touring, but for one reason or another, I haven’t started. I’m looking for some inspiration and I think I found it. Thanks!
Thanks. Its working then. Hope to see you down the road. Ride on!
Great video, your Inspiring lots of writers, keep on keeping on
Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it. Stay safe and ride on!
Great video!
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it!!
Really enjoyed this great video since I was not familiar with most of the trails/roads shown in it. Dell and I have ridden a little bit of the Montour Trail when we did the GAP one year but all the rest is new me in the remainder of your trip along the Ohio River. I sure do like the addition of drone footage to your videos. You had quite a summer of bike touring adventures. Thanks again for taking us along with you on these vistas along some of America's great rivers and river towns.
Thanks again, Bud. Glad you enjoyed it. The Ohio Valley cuts right through the heart of America. It was great seeing you this summer. I sure hope we get to ride again. Take care!
Amazing videos. You're practically in my backyard. Hillsboro Illinois.
Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it. I've been through Hillsboro. Hope to see you down the trail. Stay safe and ride on!!
LOL, it seems that in summer Indiana is always very hot than again I always went through in the summer.
Definitely a good idea to cut your days short when you encounter very hot conditions otherwise you might "boink" unexpectedly as your body goes automatic pilot until disregulation hits you and you go down.
The Ohio Valley can get hot and humid in the summer. Best not to over do things in that kind of heat. Thanks for watching.
What a way to spend a summer. Congrats on completing a great ride. Can't wait to see what you do next.
Thanks again!! Working on the Katy trail. 😉
Thanks Paul! Cold weather is sneaking up on us and you videos help inspire us for next year's tour .
Thanks for watching! I'm starting to think about next year too. Hope to see you down the road!!
Great video. Looks like you had a great time.
Thanks for watching! Anytime I'm out bike touring, it's better than being at work. So, yeah, it's always a good time. 😁 Thanks again.
Very nice video.
Thank you very much! 😊
Thanks for the journey. I watched the whole loop. Can't wait to get back on the road. I little severed Achilles kind of slowed me down
Thanks again! I understand, I'm recovering from an injury as well. Stay safe and ride on!!
Fantastic way to tell a story! I enjoyed this adventure.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Nice Routes, hope to take them in the future! COPD is my limiter right now! OORAH Semper Fi and Can Do
Can do!! Always. We all have obstacles to overcome. Never let obstacles become barriers. Thanks for watching. Stay safe out there and ride on!!
Paul, thank you so much for taking us along!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it. Stay safe and ride on!!
My hometown is Maysville, spent many days pedaling the backroads way back when. Retired now so here i come again, you keep me inspired and hopefully we will meet on a trail some day.
The Ohio Valley, America's best kept secret! Ride on. Hope to see you down the road!
What an awesome circuit you rode! You made another excellent video too!
Thanks for watching! It was a great summer of bike touring. Stay tuned, more adventure to come.
Dzien dobry, I like your videos verymuch. This one seems to be encouraging for a lazy man like me. Take care.
Thanks. Stay safe out there and Ride on! 👍
Your films are helping me through my lengthy long covid recovery. They’re exactly the kind of adventures I want to have when I’m over this exhaustion! I love rail trails and quiet roads (we have quite a lot of these in the UK where I live) and I like the pace you take them as well as the stories along the way. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching. Glad you like them. Stay well and ride on!
Wow, would love to do this ride in the future, thanks for another well made video!
You should! Thanks again for watching.
Great video! Really enjoying your style of bike touring videos. Saw your guest appearance on Kentucky Cyclings CZcams channel and enjoyed hearing your input on the trans am segment. Thanks so much for the videos, now I gotta go ride my bike! 😀
Thanks for watching and catching that interview. It was a lot of fun. Hope to see you down the road! 😎
I wonder how much time editing and learning to put these videos together you spend compared to the amount of time you spend on the bike peddling. I kept a nice journal on my cross country, but was intimidated by the editing process so I didn't shoot much vid. That I regret. Next time! Thanks for putting in the work for our enjoyment. Nice job!
Thanks for watching! It's true. It takes almost more time to edit the video than it takes to do the ride. Whether a journal, still photos or video, it's good to have a record of the trip just for posterity. The video is a lot of work, but I never get tired of watching it. Thanks again!!
Thanks for the video Paul. Brings back memory of the areas when I studied in Illinois and Kentucky 40 years ago. You are the man! 😃
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching. The Ohio Valley is a great bike ride. Thanks again! 😃
Gal-uh-pol-ees!!!
Thanks !!
I love your videos partly because I have never been to any of these states and have not seen these beautiful rivers. Your commentary suits the content, and your photography is really good. Very enjoyable to watch. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. Thanks for watching.
Liked your video. Maybe some day I can have this adventure. TY!
Sorry about the late response. Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it. The Ohio River is a great route. Hope to see you down the trail. Stay safe and ride on!!
Enjoyed video. Love the mid west!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it. 😎
I love your videos...
Thanks so much. I really appreciate it!
Nice. Greetings from Paducah
Thanks for watching. Just across the river about 40 minutes from my home. Greetings. 😎
Memories from growing up in SI in late 60's - brings back the sticky-sap summers smells and sounds.
Thank You !! 😊
You're welcome. Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it. Stay safe and ride on!
Another cool ride and great video.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching. Stay safe and ride on!
Excellent production!
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching. Stay safe and ride on!! 😎
Great ride. Reminds me of my ride from Sweetwater Tn to 50 miles east of Cleveland Ohio. Lots of hills and great people. Hope to see you on the trail someday.
Thanks for watching! The Ohio valley, and that whole area is a rich piece of America with a lot of history. Ride on! Hope to see you as well!!
That was great, thx, I like all your bike touring videos, do some local ones.
Thanks for watching. Working on some new ones right now. Stay safe out there and ride on!!
I need to check out this Scenic Byway while I'm in Pittsburgh. My plan is to ride the C&O canal trail and continue to Pittsburgh.
Thanks for watching. The C&O and GAP are great trails. The GAP connects to the Montour which connects to the Panhandle. Have a great ride!!
Just discovered your video series, great stuff, thank you! I once rode along the Ohio River from Owensboro to Louisville and back, Indiana side one way, Kentucky side on the way back, covered some of the same ground. Beautiful area!
Thanks for watching! The Ohio River is an often over looked treasure. Keep on riding!
Another great video. You really do a profissional work. Would be great to meet you! I will see all your videos.
Thank you very much! I have no current plans to travel to Brazil. If you are ever in southern Illinois, look me up.
Greatly shot video, people always talk about Ohio being flat and boring, I always say, "WTF are you talking about, you must have never been to the Appalachian region of Ohio which is like half of the State". I say, Ohio is a great state and has just as much to do as other states. I tell them if you love nature Ohio has hundreds miles of Trails, thousands of parks, we great restaurants, Amusement parks, beaches on the Great Lake, we have skiing etc. We may not have the biggest Mountains/hills but they are enough for Hikers and Skiing.
Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it. Ohio is a great state for biking. Lots of bike trails. Lots of cool stuff to see. Hope to see you down the road. Stay safe and ride on!!
Thanks for this video. I grew up in a town on the Ohio, and my grandparents and other relatives on my mother's side lived in Tell City and the vicinity. I have a brother and a niece who live within a few miles of the river still. This was like a trip home for me.
Very cool! I loved riding in the Ohio Valley. The heart of America. Thanks for watching.
Another great video. Thanks.
Thanks again! The Ohio River is a classic American River.
Brings back memories of our journey along the same trails. 😆👍🏻
I really enjoy the Ohio Valley. Great towns. Great people! Thanks again!😎
Hi Paul.I Like your channel. I wish il have the time to wander on my bike all over the world. Touring only once a year, Last year at Scotland and in August il ride to Santiago de Compostela in spain. Twice a week on my mtb allover israel. Learn a lot about touring from you.
Sounds like a great ride! Thanks for watching. I hope to ride in Europe some day. Hope to see you down the road. Stay safe and ride on!
Great camera work, Paul!
And yes, that sign at WV Methodist church is still true!
"Freedom IS found in Jesus!"
You will know the truth and truth will set you free!
Thanks for watching. Amen, Brother. I'm glad someone caught that!
Another great video. I love a bike tour video that starts in my home town. The Montour and Panhandle are on my list. I made it thru Gallipolis this year too, I came over The Silver Bridge. I have researched that Ohio corridor in the past, looks like a great route. Its always cool to incorporate your favorite local rides into a major tour. Great job on the 775 Miler.
Thanks again for watching. I got in just over 2500 miles this summer. Not quite 4000, but I'm getting old and I take too many rest stops. The Ohio is a great corridor, but there is quite a bit of industry and high population areas along the way. It is a rich slice of Americana. Ride on, Buddy. Hope to see you down the road!!!
Yeah, I remember that. You had a Mothman sighting.
