Let the Good Times Roll - Biking the Empire State Trail to a Wedding
In August 2023, Shep and I biked the Empire State Trail across New York to a friend's wedding! We were poorly prepared and it didn't go as expected... but we still had a blast :D
A big congratulations to Jessie + Zach for being the reason this trip happened!

Not So Scary After All - Biking the East Coast Greenway
Просмотров 122 тыс.2 года назад
In fall of 2021, I set off on a bikepacking trip from Calais, Maine. 29 days and 3,000 miles of incredible experiences later, I reached Key West, Florida! Here is my story :) Want some bike artwork? Visit www.reginayan.me/donate to give to the East Coast Greenway and get a thank-you gift from me! Listener beware, I did not do a good job with sound editing and the music is way too loud #bikepack...

    I can not WAIT to be to the point of meeting amazing skaters like you, Cathy, etc. So heres to my first MIF/skating skills test. What a journey to be on! Many blessings to you on your journey, and perhaps one day Ill get to hug you and thank you in person for your inspiration 💖

    This was so well done! Your journey and storytelling was so compelling! I have found my way back to the ice to work on skills and in the back of my head I have thought about competing and it was so good to see how someone else has done the same even for your own personal achievement, the pressure can still be tough. Thank you for sharing and for putting this together!

      Hi! I went to www.map.greenway.org for the route, and I just googled campsites in the towns I was biking through. The app I used for staying in people’s homes for free is called Warmshowers

      I had a Fuji Sportif (endurance road bike) and Shep has a Raleigh Merit 3 (more traditional road bike) -- would not necessarily recommend these bikes for bike touring but they worked just fine for us

  • @dolittle6781
    @dolittle6781 4 месяца назад

    Simply awesome! Thanks for sharing this remarkable experience. Glad you kept it straightforward, personal, and non technical. Never even said anything about your gear-such as what kind of bike you ride. Very enjoyable to watch. And what an adventurous, brave, and intelligent person you are to have embarked upon such an extraordinary cycling adventure essentially all by yourself. Such an inspiring story.

    I have been searching the Masters Int/Novice and always look for inspiration from those who are in my level. I searched your name and wow! I love your story! I love how you overcame the stresses of adult life and excelled! And at the end when you said the Madness never stops..I teared up because it’s so true. Once we achieve one thing it’s add another and refine what we’ve achieved. I am blessed to be able to return to figure skating seven years ago at 57 years old with the level of Master Intermediate Novice 😮. Anyway…I’ll be watching for more inspiration from you.

    • @reginayan
      @reginayan 4 месяца назад

      Thanks for watching - it’s a fantastic route that is getting better and better each year! I had an endurance road bike (Fuji sportif 1.3 disc) which worked totally fine but I would recommend a touring specific bike for more comfort! My Fuji was my go-to for everything (from this ride to daily commuter trips) but it’s more lightweight+zippy and less “all day comfort”+sturdy than bikes like Surly LHT and Kona Sutra
