I could have watched two hours of this. From the general all-around comedy to the lesson on corn feed, it was so entertaining. You all, always emit the good people vibe and this was such a pleasure! Merry Christmas to you all!
Being an avid cyclist (and long time watcher of your channel) I’ve been anxiously awaiting your adventurous cycling episodes. It certainly didn’t disappoint. Can’t wait for next week’s.
I don’t know words that can convey how GREAT of a presentation this was!!!!!!! I’m an avid cyclist and can absolutely relate to the “challenges” you’re facing ! Wow WOW WOWWWW! Thank You !
Another Awesome video The funny part for me is when Bill talked about getting the best sleep in his life in the van bed but I’m pretty sure the 90 miles he road had a little to do with it 😂
You at KYD have done a lot of great adventures and present them extremely well, but this episode may be my favorite. I’m not sure who was more excited about the bike ride, the men or the gals. Trish and Wendy were the stars tonight even though it was supposed to be a story about riding bikes a long distance. Can’t wait for next week…
Great challenge. I’m 61 years old. About 25 years ago I led a group of youth to ride (bicycles) from Chattanooga, TN to the Florida gulf coast. The next summer we went from Chattanooga, TN north to Chillicothe, Ohio. We had planned to go North from there to the coast of closest Great Lake. But due to a vocational move/change we didn’t get to complete it then. About 5 years ago my wife and I, in our mid 50’s decided to make that last trek. With the vehicle support of her parents we made it and it was and incredible ride! So I wouldn’t be surprised if we haven’t risen some of the same trails! We relied on a lot of the Rails to Trails treks!
Absolutely awesome and inspiring video! Bill you made me cry when you talked about the people of America being kind after someone paid for your meal. We need more of this content!
What a great series. Bill is so funny. The banter between the 3 of you is so enjoyable. I can't believe Mark didn't search for a gator on that first. The thought of that cold air made MY face hurt!
I did an 1000 mile bike ride with my dad when I was 14. Back in those days we strapped tents and sleeping bags to our Schwinn Varsitys and rode out and back to my Aunt’s house 500 miles away. Caleb will never forget this ride. My only piece of advice, Marc, is if you stop for a break, don’t ask Caleb why he’s bought chocolate milk to rehydrate with. It’s a young guys thing. Enjoy!
Brought back great memories of a ride with friends from Sanford Maine to Sanford Florida. The downhill from north to south comment we heard over and over!!
Love ALL the KYD videos, but when you add Bill and Wendy, they are a riot! I've seen the Michigan to Florida bike ride a couple of times already, and I'm sure I will watch again. It's fun to binge watch all three episodes.
Hands down one of your best episodes. I loved the camaraderie of the boys, the giddiness of the ladies driving the rigs, and the care and thoughtfulness they put in to keeping you guys warm and fed. Great editing/production as well! I laughed out loud multiple times!
There is a worldwide group called Randonneuring…very long self-supported rides. Seven years ago we did Maine to Orlando 115+ miles a day for 18 straight days. Most of us were a little older, but I was the oldest at 65. You meet the greatest folks bicycling. Recovering from hip replacement (one too many crashes), but hope to be back at least to 200k rides by the end of the year. Another ride you would enjoy is Six Gap in Dahlonega, Georgia. 104 miles up 6 mountains. 2-3 thousand riders each September. Enjoy!!! It’s a lifetime sport!
Woo Hoo! For Indiana!!! People think that Indiana is boring but you guys showed the world what we are really like. Loved the bike trail. I don't live far from Peru and Kokomo but I didn't know a thing about this trail. And someone buying your breakfast in Peru. They probably were Insiders. But you really timed your ride at the wrong time. It never snows like that in October but you hit it just at the wrong time. Then in warmed up the next week. Good luck on the rest of the trip. I can't wait to see what next week brings.
Happy Sunday KYD family! Wow! What an adventure! Had to watch the first video of this crazy ride you boys had! Glad everyone survived! Loving this!!!!!
You asked if it came across how cold it was, yes it did! I used to live in Ohio.very near Lake Erie. I could see and feel the cold! Those first days, oh my gosh, required a lot of intestinal fortitude to keep going and then along would come the snippets of Bill saying, “there’s something special about suffering”. Cracked me up every time! What a journey and the memories you will have! Great video, you absolutely have the BEST support staff!
As an avid cyclist, I have soooo wanted to do something like this, but my gal hasn’t/doesn’t drive the rig. 36’ 5er. I would love to have done this, cold weather and all. Those conditions are just “sauce for the goose”! Make it more of an adventure that you’ll never forget. Cheers!
Epic ! My maternal lineage is "Cooper" with a long line of farmers that "suffered". It's genetic Mr. Bill. And now I need a salami to help with our leveling of the Airstream ( hubby is 100% Italian ) Awesome towing ladies !
I am impressed with Trish pulling the Airstream. I would definitely be weary and hesitant at pulling one North to South several thousand miles. Go Trish and Congratulations Mark and Caleb and friend on your bike trip.
I really enjoy all of your videos. Your wealth of information is awesome. I enjoy seeing the country through your eyes and learning so much. Thank you for all that you do!
"I need friends with better ideas." I'm going to second you on that! But clearly you don't turn down many challenges with these guys! Hey! This is the great stuff life is made of. Love it!
Been waiting for this crazy epic bike trip! So much fun to watch! Love the pancake house stop and someone picking up your check! Gratitude shows you guys! Love the vibes! Way to go girls on driving the RVs, gawd these girls are brilliant! Supportive right instead of riding! Lol
Really enjoyed watching your suffering in my home state of Indiana. :-) Sorry it was so cold the week you were here, but those fall leaves were beautiful.
This video is AWESOME!! I laughed so hard. What a wonderful experience for all of you to share. So many great memories being made. I have not yet been brave enough to tow our travel trailer, much less back it up! Trish, you are doing an amazing job. Thank you all for sharing this adventure. Feliz Navidad!
This is one of your all time best episodes. And, Trish, in your defense, Mark has you to help him back up! So, he already has a big advantage! My husband and I recently bought a Winnebago Era 70A and the Kuat Pivot (thank you for the recommendation), and we cannot wait to take it on some beautiful but shorter bike adventures in our lovely home state of Virginia. You all were so inspiring! Happy travels.
Grew up outside of Peru, IN and I am not surprised by the hospitality you received from our fly over state. Was cool to see my hometown on video. Love Gabriel’s also!
Loving the bike tour, it has always been a dream for me to ride my bike in the Trek Across Maine, (this year it is June 16-18, 2023). Also Maine to FL using the Greenway Bike Trail can be done with a support team too. We live 1/8 th mile by the trail. ENJOY, living vicarious through you. RVing in FL, Snowbirds
I started following this You Tube channel recently while exploring future RV options and surprised to see my Arizona (and Wisconsin) friends Bill C and Wendi featured! Good stuff and I love your channel.
Two Thumbs up for this video! Love the story of your epic journey! And I know how much misery comes from riding in cold weather. I used to ride to work until the snow fell. And those days are LONG GONE!! Can’t wait to see more of the trip!!!
I understand the cold and it is coming through. That cold & snow is the reason I left Michigan when I was 18 yrs. old. I hated that cold weather. My family wasn't as smart and they are still living in Michigan. You guys are doing great on the first day. Keep up the great ride.
I loved this… even though I follow along on instagram there were so many fun parts in this episode. I’m an Airstream lover, but from what you have said in this video and LivinRVision has said with theirs the Grech looks like an amazing RV for solo or a couple.
The comment about remembering the tough moments in your bicycling trek, might be true, but possibly painful while occurring. The beautiful scenery, (autumn leaves, etc.), is something I would remember.
Mark with the winds that strong and the temp in the mid 30's give us the windchill #......Here in Minnesota the weather channel posts this as the "feels like" temperature. Had to be in the teens! You were freezing riding in that....... Hats off to you guys great job!
Hudsonville looks like Traverse City Cherry, my home town. I’m partial to the Carmel deer trax and I buy it in multiple 1/2 gallons as well! You’re not alone Mark!
Having provided "SAG" services to friends hiking the A.T., I know the fun the support ladies are having in-between the support stops. These are the adventures we will remember. RVs support the adventure but they are not the adventure by themselves! Looking forward to the next episode!
Great adventure. A great adventure with his father that Caleb will never forget. A great adventure with friends. The rails to trails network is a amazing project and still growing. You could do amazing rides every season.
This looks like it was a great trip. I’ve done the DALMAC from Lansing to Sault Ste Marie once. And a U P loop with Tour Da U P. But the best was a trip similar to this where five of us loaded up in a Sprinter van with trailer and rode the Pacific Coast. SAG is the most important part of the equation. I can’t wait to see the rest.
Wow! So glad you got to ride the Nickel Plate! We ride it frequently. So sorry we missed you as you came through the neighborhood freezing your wheels off. Great video. We love it!
Marc and Bill together are like teen boys- so much laughter. I love it!!! That van looks good on Wendy- they totally should get one.
I could have watched two hours of this. From the general all-around comedy to the lesson on corn feed, it was so entertaining. You all, always emit the good people vibe and this was such a pleasure! Merry Christmas to you all!
Totally agree!
Yes, more please!
Right?!?!?!!!
This story is about good friends, not the bike ride or the ladies driving. Such love and fun
That's true.
Being an avid cyclist (and long time watcher of your channel) I’ve been anxiously awaiting your adventurous cycling episodes. It certainly didn’t disappoint. Can’t wait for next week’s.
Fantastic!!! Gosh I could watch this for hours and hours and hours! Caleb is the dude playing Christmas music!!!
My face hurts from grinning so hard for 38:35 minutes 🥰
Y’all are a hoot !!!!
Blessings
I love that you have great friends like that, friends are the spice of life...
Beautiful friendship, great adventure!! This was my favorite series.
This channel needs a “hilarious” button!! Push it every time you laugh out loud watching!!! 😂
I don’t know words that can convey how GREAT of a presentation this was!!!!!!!
I’m an avid cyclist and can absolutely relate to the “challenges” you’re facing !
Wow WOW WOWWWW!
Thank You !
We didn’t want the episode to end! We were having so much fun along with you! 🎉🎉❤
Ok this might THE BEST KYD video series EVER !!
Another Awesome video
The funny part for me is when Bill talked about getting the best sleep in his life in the van bed but I’m pretty sure the 90 miles he road had a little to do with it 😂
lol So true. They did rave about the bed. I was surprised by that.
You at KYD have done a lot of great adventures and present them extremely well, but this episode may be my favorite. I’m not sure who was more excited about the bike ride, the men or the gals. Trish and Wendy were the stars tonight even though it was supposed to be a story about riding bikes a long distance. Can’t wait for next week…
Yes! I’ve watched every episode of KYD and this is in top 10 of my most enjoyed episodes!
Caleb’s comment to the litttle dog was hilarious “I’ll get you your money by friday, I promise” 😂😂😂😂
That's hysterical, I probably wouldn't have picked that up if this weren't the top comment. Thanks!
Hey were are you from
Great challenge. I’m 61 years old. About 25 years ago I led a group of youth to ride (bicycles) from Chattanooga, TN to the Florida gulf coast.

Great video! Thanks for taking us along and I’m looking forward to next week’s part 2!❤
THANK YOU FOR SHARING! TWO OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS: CYCLING AND RV TRAVEL! YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!
Absolutely awesome and inspiring video! Bill you made me cry when you talked about the people of America being kind after someone paid for your meal. We need more of this content!

Guys a life experience you will never forget,one you will tell your grand kids.
Brought back great memories of a ride with friends from Sanford Maine to Sanford Florida. The downhill from north to south comment we heard over and over!!
Thank you for sharing your bicycle and road trip with us! Thoroughly enjoyed tonight's episode! Safe travels to all of you.
Loved it. Thank you. Blessings
How fun!!! The guys are so lucky to have you ladies cooking and cheering them on!
I like when Trichia say's she feels sorry and laughing at the same time.
Good luck and God bless.
FANTASTIC EPISODE!!! Thanks for taking us along on this EPIC journey !!!
Best video ever! You guys are crushing it and Trish and Wendi are support team extraordinaire!
SAG team
Ya'll ARE NUTS!😳 Have fun with the journey! Stay safe guys
Congratulations to the 3 guys for the accomplishment and for the 2 gals for there support on there journey.
I love that you showed the back up struggle. I am DETERMINED to tow this summer after 5 years of owning.
Love ALL the KYD videos, but when you add Bill and Wendy, they are a riot! I've seen the Michigan to Florida bike ride a couple of times already, and I'm sure I will watch again. It's fun to binge watch all three episodes.
Hands down one of your best episodes. I loved the camaraderie of the boys, the giddiness of the ladies driving the rigs, and the care and thoughtfulness they put in to keeping you guys warm and fed. Great editing/production as well! I laughed out loud multiple times!
As a friend once said while in the restroom,” Corn? When did I have corn?!” Love this video. You all are amazingly fun ❤️
Great ride, nothing beats a tailwind.
There is a worldwide group called Randonneuring…very long self-supported rides. Seven years ago we did Maine to Orlando 115+ miles a day for 18 straight days.

Thank you all for sharing your travels. You always make me smile.
Woo Hoo! For Indiana!!! People think that Indiana is boring but you guys showed the world what we are really like. Loved the bike trail. I don't live far from Peru and Kokomo but I didn't know a thing about this trail. And someone buying your breakfast in Peru. They probably were Insiders.

It's true. Bill's right. The suffering does make it worth when looking back.
Epic ! My maternal lineage is "Cooper" with a long line of farmers that "suffered". It's genetic Mr. Bill. And now I need a salami to help with our leveling of the Airstream ( hubby is 100% Italian ) Awesome towing ladies !
I am impressed with Trish pulling the Airstream. I would definitely be weary and hesitant at pulling one North to South several thousand miles. Go Trish and Congratulations Mark and Caleb and friend on your bike trip.
They are a dream to haul! Piece of cake! Knew she could do it with one hand tied behind her back! Lol!
I really enjoy all of your videos. Your wealth of information is awesome. I enjoy seeing the country through your eyes and learning so much. Thank you for all that you do!
"I need friends with better ideas." I'm going to second you on that! But clearly you don't turn down many challenges with these guys! Hey! This is the great stuff life is made of. Love it!

Wow. What an adventure. This is the adventures I love to watch from y’all. Very entertaining. Y’all are amazing people. ❤
Really enjoyed watching your suffering in my home state of Indiana. :-) Sorry it was so cold the week you were here, but those fall leaves were beautiful.

This was a GREAT episode! Absolutely enjoyed it. So much energy and very welcoming interaction of friends. Looking forward to next week!
My face hurts from laughing! I sure needed that! Bill & Wendy are so fun! Can’t wait till next Sunday!
This video was so much fun to watch! Looks like you are all having a blast!
Oh, wow!
Y’all are having SO much fun!
What a joy to see this episode.
Total Inspiration
Tip for blackstone in cold weather. Use wind protection around the sides between the griddle and base.
What a fantastic memory - for everyone! Safe travels!
oh my gosh!! I can't wait til next week! Awesome video, you guys are all such a hoot! I laughed a LOT
Love this series! And its great to see Bill & Wendy again!!
Looks like a fun and amazing bike journey. The road crew totally rocks!!!
Watching others suffer, nice way to spend a late Sunday afternoon on the west coast.
What an adventure!
You all look like having a great time.
Good friends on bicycles what can go wrong.
Loving the bike tour, it has always been a dream for me to ride my bike in the Trek Across Maine, (this year it is June 16-18, 2023).

So funny! So great to laugh at night! And Bill is so right, there are such great people in this world.
I am amazed by your determination. I will enjoy being an observer and thanks for filming this journey for us!
I started following this You Tube channel recently while exploring future RV options and surprised to see my Arizona (and Wisconsin) friends Bill C and Wendi featured! Good stuff and I love your channel.
That was fantastic, can't wait for the next segment. What an epic adventure. Indiana has done a great job on trails, glad you enjoyed.
Two Thumbs up for this video! Love the story of your epic journey! And I know how much misery comes from riding in cold weather. I used to ride to work until the snow fell. And those days are LONG GONE!! Can’t wait to see more of the trip!!!

KEEP ON RIDING! Great content ! Trish you did good backing the airstream, it takes practice and you’ll master it.
Watching all y'all cutting up & having so much fun really made my day.
Maybe the funniest KYD episode of all time!!! We laughed the entire episode! 🤣 Safe travels!!!
Loved it... bring em on.... awaiting for part 2
I loved this… even though I follow along on instagram there were so many fun parts in this episode.
I’m an Airstream lover, but from what you have said in this video and LivinRVision has said with theirs the Grech looks like an amazing RV for solo or a couple.
It's too bad the weather wasn't more cooperative. However, since I was enjoying it in the comfort of my warm abode... Great episode!
After Day 3, we were in good shape! And Bill got what we wanted!
So glad your biking dreams are coming true💗
Love your family!
Enjoyed Wendy and her spirit 💕
Excellent show! We’re at Patagonia Lake State Park. It was great to have you to watch! You all are amazing! 😊
The comment about remembering the tough moments in your bicycling trek, might be true, but possibly painful while occurring. The beautiful scenery, (autumn leaves, etc.), is something I would remember.
excellent video, had me chuckling so much. love following along on all the KYD adventures!
We used to keep a jar of pickle juice with us at all when my boys had their footballs. It does wonders for cramping. Looking forward to part 2.
Mark with the winds that strong and the temp in the mid 30's give us the windchill #......Here in Minnesota the weather channel posts this as the "feels like" temperature. Had to be in the teens! You were freezing riding in that....... Hats off to you guys great job!
So true. Riding between 13-25 the windchill was intense. When the wind was behind us, we were twice as warm!
I love watching...very entertaining, authentic and clean unlike what Hollywood comes up with. Can't wait for part 2.
This video made my week. Thank you so much for the laughs it was like an amazing movie!
Hudsonville looks like Traverse City Cherry, my home town. I’m partial to the Carmel deer trax and I buy it in multiple 1/2 gallons as well! You’re not alone Mark!
Love it! I’m a cyclist as well & can relate to the challenges!
Having provided "SAG" services to friends hiking the A.T., I know the fun the support ladies are having in-between the support stops. These are the adventures we will remember. RVs support the adventure but they are not the adventure by themselves! Looking forward to the next episode!
This is so EPIC ! Such an incredible endeavor so inspiring.
This was great. I hope it inspired you and your friend to do more like this. I can't wait for next week.
Awesome episode!!! Great job everyone!
Great adventure. A great adventure with his father that Caleb will never forget. A great adventure with friends.
The rails to trails network is a amazing project and still growing. You could do amazing rides every season.

But the best was a trip similar to this where five of us loaded up in a Sprinter van with trailer and rode the Pacific Coast. SAG is the most important part of the equation. I can’t wait to see the rest.
Great video!
Bill is a riot and an educator.
Can’t wait till the next video.
Fantastic. So much fun (when you’re not in the elements). Can’t wait for next episode. 😎👍🏼
Coopers!!! Please make your own RUclips channel! Would really like to see what you all do between KYD appearances!
Wow! So glad you got to ride the Nickel Plate! We ride it frequently. So sorry we missed you as you came through the neighborhood freezing your wheels off. Great video. We love it!
Epic start… great memories to be had …
I could've *SWORN* the way Trish's hands/sleeves looked at 24:40 ......
that she was pranking us again with her
famous *tiny hands!* 😁
