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...
Omg Kristina is my coach ! Love her, she’s such a great skater.
Wow! Awesome video. What did you learn from this trip? What advice do you have for others doing this trip?
Very well done, thank you very much.
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!
this is awesome !
Your a monster. Would not want to meet you in a dark alleyway with that smile!
I started crying 🥹
your awesome!!
what app did you use to find camp sites and the route?
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
@reginayan thank you!
Well done. Very well done. I am so impressed that you took this on and youve inspired me. So, thank you for that.
I LOVED your video!!! Thanks so much for sharing your adventure with us.
Oh my gosh! What an amazing adventure by a truly inspiring young lady! Bravo! I look forward to more of your adventures. I ride a recumbent bike and have done four of the MS 150 rides but, I can only dream of completing something as awesome as this.
Really beautiful, well done.
OMG I love this!!! You really don't do anything half ass, including your you tube vidoes!!! So excited for you to be part of the SF Adult Skating community for however long you decide to stay!
i'm so happy i came across this video, your journey is one of the most inspirational stories i've seen on youtube. the passion and love you have for this sport (and life itself, it seems) is so incredible, i hope to be more like you in pursuing my dreams!!
Wow, great story and beautiful video! I love skating too. So glad to see your beautiful work on and off ice! Way to go,girl!
Thats the same place I skate at in San Francisco
Congratulations, really nice skating!
Enjoyed your video. I hope one day to do that trail, with the wind.😊
What a brilliant adventure, well done, you are amazing !
Shep is a pussy!!!!
THIS IS SO INCREDIBLE!! the cinematography, the editing, the music, the SKATING?!! your i-spin looks so effortless and and your axel looks so good🤩 i absolutely loved the storytelling in this and it felt like i went on this months long journey with you. i really hope you make more skating videos bc we need more adult skating youtubers!!
Thank you so much for the kind words Kristy!! I don't think I'll be making consistent videos -- this took me so long to make haha I don't know how you do it!! Wishing you the best <3
AMAZING Journey! I'm so glad I found this as I've been wanting to do this as well although my trek will be a little different but interested to know how you located or planned the camping spots.
Not much of a ride😢
Bravo! 🙌 💪💯💯You’ve inspired me. I so want to do this route after my son graduates from high school. Thanks for sharing. ❤❤💪💯👏👏👏
Your video is so beautiful❤❤why doesn't it have millions of views, it's so inspirational. The ending with the madness song made so much sense ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So proud of u. 🎉 I am getting ready too do the east coast Greenway Philadelphia/Miami. I am nervous and excited at the same time. U video is awesome!
Best wishes on your trip! Fall is a beautiful time to be biking :)
What bikes do yall have? :)
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
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 skated 5 yrs till the point of getting my acels back in fourth grade, now im a rising junior and wanted to do it seriously again lmao, third lesson today!! I did ballet quite seriously till college so i hope that helps.
Thank u for posting your journey!!
Thank you for sharing you experience. I'm 62 and I will like to do this one day...
WELL DONE REGINA! So inspiring! Loved your adventure!
Great ride and video blog. I'm going to pick up one of those vests!
Unbelievable, Thumbs up!
Amazing
biking is wonderful, unfortunately we have to sleep.
"I think we accomplish what we expect of ourselves" - such an amazing perspective!
Sounds about right for dirty myrtle
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.
Thank you for the kind words!! Wishing you the best on your skating journey <3
Ah, i want to do rhis too! What bike did you use? What kind of bike would you suggest??😊
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
@@reginayan you rock!! Thank you so much for this response ☺️🎉
Ig? Lets buddy up for a bike trip!
Thank you for sharing your journey, so inspiring! You've just given me so much hope and motivation!
Thats so beautiful. childhood dream came true❤❤❤❤❤❤
do you have a map you can share? which roads, etc
Yes! I used the official map from the East Coast Greenway - map.greenway.org
What bus service did you use to get up to Calais?? We’re gonna be starting in September and I’ve got transportation figured out all the way to bar harbor but need to work out the last stretch
So exciting! I used West Bus Service ( westbusservice.com ) - I remember not being able to reach them by phone but they showed up when they said they would on the website!
I’m so proud of you.
High quality content, well done!
Great ride!
What a great accomplishment. Congratulations!!
