We took the Northern route on our way home from New Jersey to California. Traveling through South Dakota gave us a chance to visit the Badlands. A must do hike when you're there is the Notch Trail. It looks more daunting than it is, and the views from the ridge make it all worth while.

Riding The Great Allegheny Passage (The GAP Trail)
Awesome video!
@@israelfranco143 Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching and commenting
Heavenly Bicycle Bliss !
The perfect trail clear your head and zone out on the pedals. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Nice videos Jim. I see we have a lot in common. I have similar videos and experiences on my channel.
We definitely do. I started checking out (subscribed) your channel as well. Thanks for watching and subscribing to mine. Maybe see you on the trail someday.
5:05 At mile 18.8, the second street crossing, what street is that? Is that where you also have the option of going down and through the tunnel?
Sorry for the slow reply. That is Whittier Boulevard, and yes, you can avoided that street crossing by using the tunnel adjacent to the bike path. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the ride.
They need to resurface the San Gabriel bike path. They also need to remove all the nonsense that is around it as well. Could be such a beautiful bike path if it was kept up with.
There is still a lot of beauty left on it. If we can solve some of the bigger societal problems it would help. I ride a gravel bike with 43mm tires, that eats up the bumps. Thank for watching and commenting.
How long does a Metro line take to get up from Long Beach back up to the mountains?
A solid 2 hours. Thanks for watching and reaching out.
Well, that’s no fun. You supposed to turn around and ride back not take the train.
Ordinarily I would agree with that, I love that tail wind pushing me all the way home. But I needed the footage in to Long Beach and of the Blue Line. I've made the roundtrip ride since I shot that video. Thanks for watching and commenting.
In OC we have a couple of trails to the beach. The most notable is Santa Ana River Trail (SART), the others are the Mountain to Sea Bike Trail from Peter's Canyon all the way to Newport Backbay; you can also take the San Diego Creek Trail that can give you a road to Laguna Beach. If you head towards Irvine, there is a highway full of trail but another major one is in Portola Hills north of Lake Forest and it's the Aliso Creek Bike Trail which will take you all the way to Dana Point and you can connect it to go to San Clemente. I've been wanting to the San Gabriel ride and after watching your video, I think it will be soon, thanks!
@@Kicsa Thanks for all the great info, and watching my video. I will definitely check out some of the trails you mentioned. Let me know how your ride of the San Gabriel River Trail goes.
great video. However, be sure to check your panning(audio.)
Thanks for watching and commenting. I switched for Premier Pro to DaVinci Resolve at about the time, still learning the new program. I hope you are enjoying your rides.
@@beyondthedriveway1839 DR is great and has a mature audio tab based on Fairlight. Personaly I wouldn't miss Premier much with the savings you are getting
Thank you for the info! I will be attempting this trail next week.
@@BICEPUNX Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Let me know how your ride goes.
Great, video and narration of trip! I did the C&O bikepacking back in 2008 and I remember that section from Hancock to Cumberland being really rough and a lot of potholes. It had rained so it was extremely muddy also. The rest was excellent. Harper's Ferry had lots of views and history and I was fortunate to bike through the Paw-Paw tunnel. Hope to return soon.
@@thepwright Thanks for watching, and commenting. We really enjoyed the ride, even though we couldn’t go through the Paw Paw, the climb over top of it made for an interesting adventure.
👍🚲🎥🚴♀️
@@toddburdette thanks for enjoying my videos and commenting
Not too long ago I rode from Irvine Station to San Juan Capistrano and take Metrolink Train back to Irvine. There are many possibilities once you're around Doheny Beach area. You can continue along the beach and go all the way down to the Camp Pendleton north entrance at Las Pulgas Rd, then take the same route back to San Clemente Station to catch the northbound train. You can also take the San Juan Creek Trail from Doheny State Beach to San Juan Capistrano and take the train there. There are many shops and restaurants near San Juan Capistrano station. You can also check out the Mission nearby. There are many nice scenic area along the way. Strand Beach is one of my favorite places to hang out. The only thing you need to look out is the train schedule as Metrolink weekend trains are limited. You can also take Amtrek as an option. If you're a die hard rider, you can even get a pass from Camp Pendleton (ahead of time) and ride through the Marine Base and reach Oceanside.
I subscribed because I saw you included trails in Western PA and Los Angeles (both places i’ve lived) but it’s fun to hear about the other trails too 😄
@@thewalkingsnail I grew up in Western PA. Glad you like to watch the videos. I leave next week for three day ride in New York on the Empire State Trail. I’ll be posting that in the next month or so. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
One correction @ 7:08. The A Line is Metro Rail not Metrolink. These are two different rail systems run by two different agencies serving two different sets of stations and have two different ways of paying fares. Metro Rail is light rail and Metrolink is full sized trains running on the same tracks as Amtrak. They could have selected less confusing names.
@@scotth5132 I agree, too confusing with two similar of names. Thanks for the clarification though.
Thank you for this great video of the C&O. I'm planning to do the same and found your video very informative.
I'm glad you liked it. My goal with the videos is to document our adventures, and to help others get out and do the same. Thanks for letting me know its working. I look forward to hearing about your ride.
Looks like another great adventure.
It was. We have another ride planned for a couple of weeks from now, doing the Empire State Trail from Albany NY to lower Manhattan. Three days, 210 miles. Should be a blast. Stay tuned for that video somewhere down the road. Thanks for watching, and commenting.
C&O canal is great!
@@MedvedActual thanks for watching, glad you liked it
Hey, Jim and Karen! Great time meeting you guys and getting to hangout on the GAP! This was a highlight of our trip! Hope to visit someday on the left coast! Happy riding! 🚴♂️🚴♂️
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope the rest of your Hall of Fame rides are going well. See you again on the trail sometime.
Hey Mark and Jim, how is your Rail To Trail Hall of Fame quest going. I’ve been doing a lot of research on that, I think I’m gonna be making the same journey as you are next year, or at least some of them.
Jim, we just finished up two more rides this week! We rode the Eastern Trail in Maine and the Island Line Trail in Vermont! Just for fun we threw an extra ride on the Presidential Trail in New Hampshire (not a Hall of Fame Trail). Only two left to do on the East Coast! Keep us posted on your progress and where you might be heading! Who knows, we might be able to ride together a time or two!
Santa Ana River Trail from San Bernardino to Huntington Beach
I rode before I started this channel, I'll have to ride it again and post a video. Thanks.
Very cool to see this ride from Azusa to Seal as I've ridden the trail a few times, so it was fun to see the familiar sights including the Hang Out Restaurant, Thanks & maybe see you on the trail someday.
Glad it brought back good memories for you. Thanks for watching the channel, commenting, and subscribing. See you on the trial.
Biked it many times. You should definitely ride through the Savage Tunnel.
We did the whole GAP two summers ago, we loved the tunnel. Thanks for watching and commenting.
You guys are lucky to have that trail it’s rare to have a dedicated bike trail from the clayey to to ocean I live in Ventura Ca. & we have a 30 + miles trail going from Ventura to Ojai Valley
i agree. I've done the ride from Ventura to Ojai before I started this channel. Its a great trail as well. Thanks for watching my channel and commenting.
the subscribe button is right down here!!!!
Click It!! And hit the "Like" button too!
@@beyondthedriveway1839 I did!!! of course I did! I love these vids!!!
What’s the time table for such a ride ?
3 hours at 10 mph but cut that in half if you do 20 mph on an ebike. The train ride back is 2 hours.
If you start early in the morning, you can make it easily in 2 to 2 1/2 hours. But if you start later, say after 10 or 11 o’clock, you’ll be facing headwinds pretty much all the way down so that adds a lot of time. On the flipside, if you leave from seal Beach and head north to Azusa, sometimes you can get a pretty good push the whole way.
Great video. I've ridden the San Gabriel River bike path for nearly 40 years. FYI, the second street crossing, which is crosses Whittier Boulevard, can be avoided be using the tunnel adjacent to the bike path.
@@socalhomies I never noticed the tunnel. Thanks for letting me know, I’ll look for it the next time I ride it. Thanks for watching my channel, and your comments.
Las Vegas has many of these dedicated bike roads. The one called the River Mountain trail along Lake Mead goes 36 miles but it’s very challenging with many serious inclines.
Good to know, I'll check it out and try to make plans to ride it. Thanks for watching and the trail info.
For someone without a car how can you get to the start of the San Gabriel River Trail? You mentioned MetroLink on the end, but how about Amtrak? I live in San Diego and would love to do this ride.
Thanks for watching, and subscribing. Yes, for you this would be very easy to do. Just take the Amtrak to Grand Central Station in Los Angeles, then jump on the metro line (L/Gold Line) and take it to the Duarte/City of Hope exit. Then use Google maps to get you to Encanto Park, which is about a mile away from that metro line stop. I’m not sure the easiest way to get home from seal Beach, but I would imagine you could pick something up at a Long Beach. Enjoy, let me know how it works out for you.
Yes. You can take Metrolink from Oceanside or Amtrak from San Diego (more expensive) to Los Angeles Union Station. From Union Station take the Metro Rail A Line to Azusa/Downtown. Get on your bike and ride north on N Azusa Ave (Hwy 39). Turn off to the right on Ranch Rd and continue north. When Ranch Rd comes back into Hwy 39 cross the highway and get onto the San Gabriel River Trail (SGRT). Ride north on the SGRT to the "end" of the trail. Distance from the train station is only 2.6 mi. Ride the 38 mi to the "beginning" of the SGRT at Seal Beach. To get to a Metrolink/Amtrak station by a scenic route on bike paths and roads mostly with bike lanes you can ride 26 mi to the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center. From the SGRT at Seal Beach go east on Ocean Ave. Ocean become Seal Beach Blvd as it swings north. Turn right on Pacific Coast Hwy and continue to Sunset Beach. Turn toward the beach on Anderson St and left on South Pacific Ave. Where it ends at a cul-de-sac continue parallel to the beach on the Bolsa Chica asphalt "boardwalk". Take this "boardwalk" through Bolsa Chica State Beach, Huntington City Beach, and Huntington State Beach. When you get to the Santa Ana River Trail (about 12.6 mi from Seal Beach) turn inland on it and ride 13 mi to the Anaheim train station. From Anaheim take Metrolink or Amtrak back to Oceanside or San Diego. Of course the Metrolink or Amtrak schedules are key. A related fun bike trip is to start in Seal Beach, ride parallel to the coast to Long Beach and then ride north on the Los Angeles River Trail (LART) to Union Station (31 m). Take Metro Rail A Line to Azusa, and ride back to Seal Beach (38 mi). Of course you could also start in Azusa or anywhere along the loop route. The difficulty is that the LART ends at S Atlantic Blvd and doesn't start up again until near Elysian Park. City streets must be used to get from S Atlantic Blvd to Union Station. I know a route that is safe (IMO) for an experienced cyclist. I can write it out if anyone is interested. You can also make the loop smaller by connecting the LART to the SGRT via Gardendale St/Foster Road or via the Rio Hondo Bikeway between Imperial Blvd (@ the LART) and Whittier Narrows (@ the SGRT).
@@scotth5132 Great detail, thanks for adding it. Thanks for watching my channel as well.
This amazing and great info for anyone wanting to spice up there SGRT route
@@CantComply Glad you liked it, I look forward to hearing about your ride on the trail. Thanks for watching, and commenting.
Looked like a great time…….🚴♂️
It certainly was. I hope you have an equally good ride when you do it. Thanks for watching, and commenting.
I was there earlier today and got a drink at the freshwater. It was delicious. 🤤
That’s great, are you doing the race?
This is was a really good video. Simple and clear at a nice pace. It helped me double check my own loadout and make sure I wasn't missing anything. If you keep it up I can see you gaining more views and subscribers! One point of constructive criticism though: I was watching it through my headphones, and I only have audio in my left ear.
Sorry, I thought I responded to this a while ago (typed it, but must not have sent). Glad you liked the video. I did check out the problem with the audio, it was only on headphones, figured out the problem. Thanks again, enjoy your rides.
great video, i think i will give it a try. can you tell where is the second street crossing or the name? thanks
Thanks for watching, glad you liked it. The second street crossing is Whittier Blvd, just off the Whittier exit of the 605 Freeway. At about the 18 mile mark before the end of the train in Seal Beach. Enjoy the trail, let me know how it goes for you.
I enjoyed your video. I just purchased a used Co-Motion Periscope. I noticed the rack on your vehicle. How does the support attach near the bottom bracket? Where did you buy the rack? Thanks
Glad you enjoyed the video. Just checked out the Periscope, very nice, is this your first tandem? The rack I have is a Yakima Sidewinder, I've had it for years. It pivots at the front fork attachment which makes it super easy to use with just one person doing the loading. There are 2 straps in front of the stoker cranks that attach the frame to the rack. The rack is still available on line, but not directly through Yakima any longer. I've made modifications to work with Yakima's JetStream bars, quicker to install, and I lowered the rear height. If you want to talk further about the rack, let me know.
thank you for making this video. I am a bike packer and always looking for places to ride and explore. Very well done. Thanks⚓
Glad you liked it, and thanks for letting me know. The C&O is a beautiful trail, you'll love it.
Thanks for the great info! I ride the trails along The Empire State Trail all the time and hope to see you along the way!
Glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for letting me know. I'll be riding the Empire State Train in August, see you then.
Amazing video thank you so much!! How do you avoid and pass each other on the trial safely. Getting ready for it this year!
Thank for watching, glad you liked it. Ordinary trail etiquette says the uphill hiker has the right of way. But in a race, you'll need to yield to the down hill runner when its too tight to pass, which is pretty much the case for the upper ⅔'s of the trail. Good luck with the race, but most of all, enjoy it.
I just started short rides in upstate new york
I here its beautiful riding up there, looking forward to riding there this summer. Thanks for watching and connecting.
The GAP and C&O are great, really nice trails, 2016. If you guys head west the Katy Trail in MO rolls through farmland and is a nice trail, ride west to east for 2-3% downhill grade. And the Mickelson in South Dakota travels through woods, but is shorter, not many people ride that one. You can make it longer by looping east through Grasslands National Park near Custer, SD, then head north back to Deadwood for a longer trip. Happy trails!
Thanks for the comments Mike. The Katy is definitely on my ride list. Hadn't heard of the Mickelson in SD, I'll look into it. We make a couple of XC drives each year, always looking for good rides along the way. Happy Trials to you as well.
Great info as always.
Thanks Ben, glad you enjoyed it.
That'll be nice to watch

Great boys Club guys 💪. Where's the girls club 😅
Great question, and perfect timing. Karen decided she wants to have these adventures too. To that end, we ordered a gravel tandem (CoMotion Java) that is designed to handle multi-day rides. We will be receiving it just 2-days from now. I'll have a video of assembly and our first ride in a couple of weeks. I can't wait to do these rides with her, and we have other couples interested in joining us. So we'll be back and forth between a Boys & Girls Club and a Boys Club on future rides. Stay Tuned.

What , if any predators would there be ...im in Colorado and we have just about every predator in the U.S even wolves again.. Lol..
Thanks for watching, and reaching out. We've encountered a few snakes (black and rattle) enjoying the sun along the trial, but they scurry off pretty quick at the sound of the tires. Although we did run over one snake, a surprise to us and it. There are bears in the area, but we didn't encounter any. I've mountain biked many miles in Colorado over the years, pre-dating this channel, many encounters, but none, other than shakes, that worried me.
