Hey Christian, liked the upstate N.Y. ride you did. Whshed you had less fast foward runs. If you went down Route 9 to Lake George, you would have passed through my home town, Warrensburg.

It looks like you are weighted down very heavy with all the accessories but I do know that it is needed to your journey. This was a nice and enjoyable video to watch.

Your videos are top notch. Why'd you stop making them?

Nice trip . I been wanting to do this for awhile . Trying to set up the perfect bike for it here so az .

The maple store is quintessential Vermont. Down to the notepad asking you to write down what you took.

You still bike touring these days? Enjoy your video creation/capture.

Great video...good music selections

depressing

What camera did you use to make this video, and did you need an auxiliary battery?

Where did you camp on the way up? Where did you pick up Route 22 after NYC?

Awesome, I love this type of video.

Hi what bike you use

Nice timing, it looks like peak foliage and not much traffic.

I think it dont matter closed:(

I am itching to do this. Back into cycling after a 22yr layoff. How did you go about planning your route?

Posted almost 4 years ago, how the next tour looking?

cool this my part of my bike touring trip on 2021

I biked the western Adirondacks last summer [2019] rt 3 Watertown to Tupper Lake to Blue Lake to Lake Pleasant to Utica, buggy but beautiful with freshly paved roads and some great campsite. I love the smell of the Adirondacks. And those beautiful downhill runs!

You ever need water or supplies I live at mile post 180.5 1/4 in on 164. Address 484

Hey I’m planning to ride to manteo from Raleigh. I need advice in general about touring in NC. Can you share your mail please ?

I enjoyed the tour. Thanks.

I've talked about something like this for many years but never pulled the trigger. Great video and documenting the journey.

Climbing is great! It's a character check

fast forwarding just ruins a otherwise brilliant video

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing!

I will agree. The C&O tow path is the worst when it comes to cycle touring. I did the GAP and C&O with a couple friends in 2017 and the Paw Paw tunnel was closed. That meant a 3/4 mile hike-a-bike (fully loaded) up over the hill to get back on the trail.

So cool . love 209 and hickery run is great place to hike ... Nice video

You have a kick stand on your bike and you missed some dirt roads. A USGS topological map on a CD is the way to go. Use Google street view and satellite to add additional information Nobody paints a yellow line down a dirt road State DOT record daily traffic volumes on maps that are available on line. VTrans Traffic Data Management System, MASS DOT Traffic Volume and Classification map, AVcog Maps Maine, ARC Gis maps NH, etc. I have called town governments up to ask if a dirt road is still a public through-way East St/Maple St from Bennington VT to Arlington VT is really nice.

Loved watching your video. It brings back lots of good memories . I have been to Davis Bayou three times. Once with my sister, once with my daughter and the first time was by myself. I have always wanted to bicycle tour that same rout you took. I was so glad that a couple of fellow Missourians bought your meal. I live in southwest Missouri and I forget what a flatt road looks like at times. Stay safe and keep up the good videos.

Enjoy watching your videos. Very well put together. May I ask you how are you funding your tour? Keeping up with whatever monthly bills you may have, and then having the funds for all the needed expenses out on your tour? This is a topic that I feel many bicycle tourers don't speak on to inform and encourage others to go on their own tours. Thank you for your reply. Hope to hear from you.

Thank God you finally got that ugly ass yellow wonder off the roads. Uglyist bike ever built.

The yellow looks so cheap.

Awesome ride! It was wonderful to see a man of your age taking advantage of something that most people wait until they are late in their lives to do. Keep cycling.....

very nice! in the 1980's instead of my usual XC skiing in the Adirondacks, staying at the Barkeater Inn because of bad snow or lack of I went there in Memorial day weekend with bike - I did some day rides there - I see that you went south to my region the mid-Hudson Valley - Poughkeepsie NY - you mention not so great scenery ?? - if you had ridden on rt 28 in Ulster County and along the Ashokan reservoir - lots of awesome!! I am the Adventure Cycling Association mid-Hudson Valley NY advisor - the Atlantic Coast route goes through New Paltz and your rant about your mech troubles - I feel your pain LOL

What a RIDE! Great scenery...few cars, great places to stealth camp, I want to go...

Sure thing do your planning because this so many back roads I mean when I call back roads the not really but secondary roads is what they are and yeah maybe when you get time and you got your major root mapped out touch base with me and I'll give you some places to go off your primary root I'm up in a town called Old Town if you've ever heard of Old Town Canoes well that's where they make them is where I live if you've ever heard of the University of Maine at Orono where I'm like 10 minutes from Orono I'm not 10 minutes from their college but just the town from Old Town there is a bike path that leads to the university in Bangor in the summertime has concerts on the waterfront you might want to look that up online is Bangor Maine so there's a lot to do and see here although I'm not the type to get out and do that now if I lived in another state or whatever I would definitely be traveling around more than I do but I was born and raised here in Maine I was raised in the southern part of the state and the people up here in the northern part of State much more friendly much more friendly alright I'll let you get going thanks for touching base with me preciate it as I see some of your other videos if you have any I'll make comments on them get back to me when you can no big hurry I will talk to you later

Great!! I look forward to ppls videos.... I've almost got enough money saved for Surly big dummy and that's what I'm going to end up touring with but it's going to be three or four years before I can tour I'm probably going to have my bike in July and I sold my car and I'm going to rely 100% on my bike and public transportation I'm so looking forward to it

The other thing I like that you talked about occasionally be really cool if you did a video on it how you've never had a license and that never owned the car and that you ride your bicycle everywhere are you from the New York City area is that why you never really needed a license or anything like that and have you ever been to Maine have you got future plans to come to Maine on a tour just curious get a ride through Vermont if you ever come to Maine then a roundabout way but definitely want to hit Burlington and Rutland all up through there and the Killington area anyway look forward to your reply

You're very good at videoing your footage and making that look easy your videos you make it look like taking video footage is really simple you actually give the illusion that somebody is following you around doing your video ography and that's because you're so good at what you do and you make driving by bicycle appear that there's no hiccups LOL and you make it like everybody's doing it and everybody should do it and that I agree with everybody should be doing this and I plan on it I have another message for you but I'm going to send it separately than this so you will reply to that separately I hope

Thank you... what a great trip

Ok cool the music got much better... lol

Music sucks

A couple of things if you don't mind answering where did you start from.... so how do you find your trips rather domestic or abroad... Thank you

I'm from navarre! Cops patrol That area between navarre and pensacola on their little four wheelers looking for people in the dunes It's a good thing they didn't ride thru that night lol! I've camped out there near access 7, good wind protection from all sides if you're in the right spot

Just subscribed...Looking forward seeing other journeys. Will be doing a southern tier journey.

Nice! Want to follow in your biking trails

Have you ever been in trouble or kicked out of site for camping or stealth camping?

I was searching for upstate NY bike touring and found this with you touring right near where I live in PA. Very cool.

Not so keen on your choice of music at the start. Maybe find some gentle innocuous background acoustic guitar sounds which would better suit the terrain you are riding through as does Chris Rishworth when he makes his Aussie touring vids.

Those lanes look like nice cycling roads. Lovely rolling countryside to ride through. What's worse, being chased by dogs or Jehovah's Witnesses? ;@)
