But Hatch has the best chilis.

Great accomplishment

Hello again! That beach brought back so many memories. I really didn’t want it to end. Congratulations! Carmen Fargo , ND

I am really enjoying your adventure videos. I rode the southern tier in 2022. It was fun to see some of the sights and towns that I saw when I was on that tour. It was amazing. Can you tell me where you got the little bicycle riding on the map insert that is at the end of your video? Is that an app? Thanks for posting your bike backing tour! Carmen Fargo, ND

Huge grats, and thank you for documenting and sharing!!!! I would love to hear a self-critique of things that went right/wrong along the way.

Continually amazed how many people support illegal immigration. Thanks for sharing the snippet about it.

Congrats! Enjoyed watching your journey.

I also stopped at Mon Lawson back in 2015 happy days .

Rode in 2015 March 3 to 25 April happy days I stopped at the same place in marathon cool place.

I went around Salton Sea clockwise & came back thru San Diego. I went up the hill from Ocotillo to Jacumba. I've never been down the hill. I want to go down the hill now.

Well done, great achievement. looked like a good ride. 👍

Where is your tent on your bicycle?

I'm riding from Las Vegas to Austin in March. I am checking the terrain and routes from people's video. Glad to see you both are Hugh spirited.

Where were your overnight stops after leaving NO?

Great video tour! When we did this stretch, we went from Del Rio through San Antonio. I won the Alamo photo contest. Great memories.

You are bringing back memories. I rode this route in 1980. Thanks.

Lot of fun watching you go along on your adventure! Looking forward to more installments 🙂

Hi, that looks like an awesome trip. I am planning to do the southern tier route in March to April of 2024, starting in San Diego. Could you let me know what temperatures to expect? Does it get cold at night?

Personally I won't get on a bike without 2 rear view mirrors. Being able to see idiot cars and trucks behind has kept me safe for 76 years and in 14 countries. If encountered police back down every time.. As a pedestrian I Jay Walk as I am not about to assume I have the right of way in a crosswalk with a green walk signal.. Way to many directions to be struck by cars. Jay Walking I do not make assumptions and has kept me safe. And mostly I will ride against traffic which was the way it was taught in the 1950's. You haven't experienced hills till you have done the Andes and grades of 41% and elevations beyond 16,000 feet. You'll be walking maybe just 3 meters between rests. I am pretty much done peddling anything over 25% And downhill you need disc brakes as the heat builds up to blow tires otherwise. I run only tubeless tires and use a tire sealant. With tubeless you do not need dismount the wheel to repair at least most of the time. When I ran tube tires, I learned how to repair as well as replace the tube without dismounting the wheel. In Costa Rica I have resorted to a 1200 watt RAM Mia electric scooter that looks like a Vespa. We have mostly hills of 25 to 35% and for the past year need the bike doing some of the work. I have a 1X2 meter utility/camp trailer for the e-scooter. So can camp about anywhere. And here people are friendly. For a couple dollars or nothing at all they will allow me to plug in and recharge. But Throttle only I have a 120 kilometer range. So half of Costa Rica is within range without recharge. As I am not a Resident of any country, I cannot get a driver's license. So now 12 years walking, biking and using other means.

What did you guys use to fasten to the wall?

Thankyou for sharing ! I will try next year.

Well done

How did you pic this route

The adventure lives forever. Great videos, cheers from Oregon.

Yay!

You have a small solar panel on your carrier I was wondering what you use it for I have one about the same size to charge my cell phone but it doesn't seem like it works with a crap does yours work any good it must if you've got it strapped on there could I get a name of it so I can buy one if it does work well

almost great videos. but music too loud. too much on the clicker to swich vloume lot

Excellent guys. Planning next year. However I am slow rider...10 mph to 12 mph. What is your average speed?

Excellent series. I enjoyed all of your journey. If you happen to see this, I would love to know about the music in video 5, Austin to Navasota.👍

Thanks for sharing your journey. Glad you had success in completing the southern tier

Great video. I'm going to do the southern Tier fairly soon. What month did you start?

Watched the full series from San Diego to St Augustine. Really enjoyed it, thanks for sharing! One day I want to a coast to coast ride in the US as well. Greetings from The Netherlands!

what pedals are those

Great video, thanks for posting. I'll use your videos as a guide for my Southern Tier March of '24.

Marshall, just curious. How did you know you needed a new cassette?

I remember that feeling of pride accomplishment. I was the nerd that never made a team. Hugging my friends,

Lagrange Texas home of the chicken ranch

Did coast 2 coast in 2013 we went to the center of the universe in Southern California worst road in America. Bisbee AZ . The Texas route looks familiar I didn’t go to Austin. 19 days across Texas.

I can’t buy rain pants short enough. I learned that if you buy tall kitchen trash bags put them under tights you stay dry and warm.

Hi Marshall. Thanks for the video series. I'm thinking of making a trip on part of the Southern Tier trail from Tempe to El Paso in early April of this year. I haven't done anything quite this long and nothing nearly as steep. I'm located in Virginia so my trails have been the Erie Canal and the GAP/C&O, both of which are fairly flat. Did you have any problems with the elevation and steepness of the terrain in this section? It's hard to get good hill training at living at about 300' above sea level. I'm also thinking of doing this solo as I don't have any friends that are bikers. Did you see many solo bikers along the way?

Hey Marshall, Totally enjoyed your videos on Southern Tier. I'm planning a trip from San Antonio TX to FL. Can I get a copy of your routes' , with cities and stops, if available? It appears you had good weather as well; best time to travel?

Attaboy! Very nicely edited film. (Film? geez, I am old). Nice volume balance between voice and music. Q: what was your artistic intent to include the newscast approaching Tempe? I look forward to viewing the rest of your trip.

Congratulations you two

Is it legal to ride on a highway shoulder?

How do you stay on course. Do you have a map or do sighns say where the bike course goes? Does the path go through cities and neighborhoods, or were those detours?

I just heard you work out in Gainesville, FL. I live in Jacksonville, FL. Would you be open to meeting up sometime if you're still in the area?

What type of tires do you have? I have Marathon Plus tires, which I heard are the top when it comes to not getting a flat tire. With an ElliptiGo, the back tire is tough to take on and off (I don't know how, so I'm gonna have to learn how to do it).

Hey. I'm looking to do this ride on the Southern Tier on my ElliptiGo in the next 5 years. Is it possible to stay ONLY on paved roads. Plus I'm thinking of renting a motor home (a small one) so I have a place to sleep every night and food in the frig (a friend of mine will drive it) as I am not the camping type. From your experience, are there safe places to park it each night depending on how far I ride each day? I've never done elevations, so that part of the ride, I may only be able to do 20-50 miles tops...maybe even less. I'd love to hear from you.

great info! gives me a good idea of what i can expect to see as i leave Las Vegas, Nv next april down to Tempe to do the southern route. Ill be doing it with a solar/electric recumbent bicycle and towing a home built Caravan.
