Happy Sunday Everyone! I hope you enjoy this little adventure with my best pal Dana. The route we took was sooooo beautiful, and went through sections of Colorado I'd never seen. Any of you have bike touring plans in the near future?
I don't know how "near" in the future, but I definitely have plans! First step, though is getting a bike! 😁🚲Do you think it would be practical to take a bike like the Sixthreezero 'Around The Block' 21spd cruiser on an adventure?
@@88blackandwhite88 I don't know anything about that bike, but I'm all for any kind of adventure. I once rode a 3 speed cruiser across the USA...you don't always need to most amazing gear. happy trails buddy
@@duzer Awesome. That's the answer I was hoping for 😎👌 Cheers, brother. Anyway, Monday I'm going to start training at my gym as best I can and get my body where it needs to be while I wait for the funds to get riding. Thanks for all you do, Ryan.
I absolutely love how bicycles can bring total strangers together and you're friends before you know it. Even in passing someone along the way, a quick hello or wave, gets a great response.
Hell yea... another Ryan adventure... Love your content Man... Thanks for sharing , you guys are blessed to be living where you do . Never take it for granted .!!
Glad to see two more people other than I, who hate driving and are more comfortable on a bicycle... I love the energy that you two give off... Hope you get more subscribers. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Ryan Van Duzer... it’s 1am now where I’m at and you made me fall for a Priority 600. 2 problems, 1, they’re on back order, and 2, I’m from the Philippines... Lol... someday...someday... 😄
Great video as always! I love the library out in the middle of nowhere.......and I love the aerial view where the green brush and trees meet the red rock!
Absolutely fabulous scenery and your zest for life is infectious! Love it! (Been breathlessly waiting for more since last years trip. As you can imagine, I'm quite blue in the face after this length of time.)😉☮
Oh yes, so good to see you two on those fine bikes! As for myself, getting ready for a 9 day trip along the coast of Denmark. Heading out to the North Sea cycle route on Friday. You had the chance to come along....Life is good Ryan!
Sooooo happy to see this video!!! To see you, to see Dana, to see some bits of CO and these nifty cabins! Awesome!!!!! Thanks for always helping inspire me to be motivated and positive! 🚲👍🏻
I was really into biking a few years ago, but somehow, I slipped back into my "old ways". Lately, I am really wanting to get back to it, but I need to exorcise some of my demons. I am hoping that pedaling again will help me to do that. Your videos are really helping me to get motivated. I just discovered your channel so I have many more to watch. Thanks for what you do.
Crumbs, I'm used to watching your older adventures, so was wondering where the next episodes were...only to realise this was hot off the press! Looking forward to the next one! :-)
Thank you for posting your adventures.. i'm riding with a childhood friend from Portland to the Oregon coast late June. Thru the Banks-Vernonia trail (an old railroad that was paved over...that means it is pretty flat. LOL) . Come join us..
Hi Ryan! Hi Dana! Thank you for another awesome inspiring video. Yes the desert is beautiful. I'm down here in Phoenix (have to work). I have a 10 day vacation coming up. Loading up my Surly Ogre and just heading out into the middle ...yeah....where ever I go. Yeppie!
So awesome that you are off to another adventure, it feels like if we are biking with you and Dana. Tell her that an internet stranger thinks she is very cool!
Have you changed the oil on the Priority 600 yet? Do regular bike shops service the Pinion gearbox? Do you do it yourself? I'm interested in the 600 but am hesitant about oil changes on a bike.
Been waiting for this video. Thank you Ryan. Love your videos. It's very interesting that Dana had the drop bar on her P600. I am planning to treat myself with P600 on my birthday which is in September. Thank you. Can't wait for the next episode.
Thanks for watching Naresh! Her bars are a custom job, but I think that Priority will offer this in the future. I hope you love your new bike in September!
Amazing and beautiful and your attitude is electric. Thank you for sharing your adventure. I’ve been waiting for the upload and look forward to the next episode. I was in Utah last summer and fell in love with Moab. Y’all are the best. Be safe. 💚
Hey Ryan, I watched these videos plus some of your 600x ones. If you were going to compare the 600 to the 600x as a touring/commuting bike on gravel with some steep inclines, what would you say are the pluses and minuses of each? Finally just want to say Dana seems like a really cool person; her positivity really came through in the videos!
What a wonderful series. Thoroughly enjoyed it and your other videos reviewing the Priority 600. How did Dana modify her bike for drop bars? I’ve wondered about the potential of the Priority 600 if you stripped it of the dynamos, fenders and tried to make it a bit lighter like their Apollo gravel bike.
Great stuff, Ryan! I love your Adventure videos! Especially this one since we will be vacationing in Colorado next summer. The beautiful views are making me wish our colorado trip is this year and not next.
Great video. Amazingly beautiful country. And great to see Dana's smiling face again. I'm glad your testing out the Priority 600 as a touring bike, I've been wondering how it would do.
Thanks, Ryan! Looking forward to it. At some point if you don’t describe it in the videos I’d appreciate hearing if you think that catching a shuttle from Moab to GC on the front end is better than leaving a car in GC and catching a ride back at the end.
Hey Ryan, LOVE your videos! Keep 'em coming! My wife and I plan to do a weekend bike trip up the coast in Orange County, California soon. Mostly flat beach cruiser terrain. Sorry to hear about Ali. Really looking forward to "joining you" on all your future adventurers!!!! May you have many, many more!!!!!!! Greg
I'm curious about that pinion gear box and belt drive. Do you think that's the future for all bikes? I like how low maintenance it seems to be. Also, I really want to do that Durango to Moab hut to hut ride (but the singletrack version).
@@duzer hey dude I hope you are well. Got worried as hadn't seen anything uploaded and started panicking Haha i wouldnt get my fix or seeing you or your positive energy. I'm ever closer to getting my bike and ditching the car. Cant wait to share the great news when it happens. Take care ride safe. Ps Dana has as much positivity as you do please see if she will feature more with you
It's so nice to have all these places in your country compared to mine.. riding in Singapore is pretty dangerous. BTW, is Dana having a P 600 with dropbar?
We're here for you Ryan! It's easy and worthwhile to customize your bike, like Dana has done. Sometime maybe try the Jones Loop H-Bar or my favorite, the butterfly/trekking style. My hands, wrists and right shoulder are much happier now during long rides.
Your lucky you have wild sage in your area, I have to grow it in the garden. If I have congestion due a cold or allergies I like to make a tea using 1 part sage leaf and 1 part mullein leaf. Natures wild medicine! I could be the only one that does this but I enjoy seeing the road side plants in different areas in your videos.
The next episode is AWESOME! Blue skies and beautiful red rock canyons. Priority put the drop bars on for us, custom job...don't think it's too hard though. Hopefully they'll start selling them stock with the bike
If you went on 50 about 3-5 miles you could have hunted geodes! A geode is a sphere shaped rock which contains a hollow cavity lined with beautiful crystals. Geodes begin as bubbles in volcanic rock or as animal burrows, tree roots or mud balls in sedimentary rock. Over time, the outer shell of the spherical shape hardens, and water containing silica forms on the inside walls of the hollow cavity within the geode. The silica can contain any variety of dissolved minerals, the most common being quartz, but amethyst and calcite are also found. Over a period of thousands of years, layers of silica cool, forming crystals of different minerals within the cavity. Each geode is unique in composition and can only be truly discovered when cracked open or cut with a rock saw. The size and formation of crystals and different shades of color within the crystals make each geode special. Nice bicycle trip!
Ryan thanks for this great travelog - inspiring me to do it ! Did I hear no showers or water at huts ? How did you handle that, in terms of cleaning up ?
@@duzer Ok Ryan I'll just do likewise. Have you tried a FAT Bike yet ? My new Fav way to roll off-road. Will probably use it on Hut Tour, in fact. God bless you my friend !
Maybe I missed it, but can you provide more information about Dana's conversion of her 600 to a roadbar set-up? I switched from my Omni Continuum -- now relegated to winter commuter bike when the weather is truly foul -- to a Jamis gravel bike. The power-sucking NuVinci hub and the PITA procedure to change a rear flat -- easily an extra half hour on the several occasions when it happened -- prompted the change. The 600 ticks those boxes with a more efficient gearbox and thru-axles, but I now prefer riding with dropbars.
Dave at Priority did the drop bar swap for us, not sure how involved it is...and not sure if they'll offer it like that in the future. But Dana definitely loved it
I have changed a few flats on my Onyx, and except for the first time, it might be an extra 5-10 minutes to disconnect and reconnect two cable ends and pull the belt tight. There is no gunky chain lube clean-up, either. BTW that bike is a lot more fun with GravelKing SK 35c tires.
Love it man. When did you get your license? If there's a video of you driving on this channel that will surely be a first. Ryan driving a car!? It's like an oxymoron.
wow!!!! such a inspiration. this only makes me wanna go to the US even more!!! ps everytime o go thru a little tunnel i think about you nowdays Ryan :D

Totally! Bikes are great connectors!
Yes! I just did a ride yesterday for Willing Warriors and found someone to mountain bike with. Thanks Ryan and Dana for the influence you have!
Lovely to see your friendship and beautiful coloardo. ..cheers
Love this! So happy to see you and Dana riding!! So many beautiful shots!!
Dave Weiner thanks my man! Lots of comments and questions about those drop bars, might wanna sell a version called the ‘Dana’ :)
It’s an absolute delight to follow your adventure. Rock on buddy and share the love 🤙🏼😎
Thanks Primo! Lots of love coming in the next episode
I think my heart just grew when I saw Dana. I love seeing her so much. I really hope to meet the gang whenever it is I come to colorado
YAY!! My heart grows when I see Dana too!
I'm glad you and Dana are back on another bike adventure. Looking forward to see more.
Me too! Dana is a great adventure partner
Hell yea... another Ryan adventure... Love your content Man... Thanks for sharing , you
guys are blessed to be living where you do . Never take it for granted .!!
Thanks Craig! We are so lucky to have this in our backyard
Every time I watch this video it makes me smile. Thanks Ryan and Dana!
Breathtaking country! We dont have mountains like these, you guys are so blessed!
I knew who it was before you said it. Yay! Dana!!! Can't wait for this new adventure to continue.
YAY!!! Dana is the best!
I just got home from seeing Grand Junction and Moab for the first time. I’m excited to see this whole series.
You are such a wonderful ambassador for your state. Love your videos!
Jon Davis viva Colorado!

Excellent trip, the scenery are so beautiful, can't wait for the next video.
Thanks buddy, next episode is even prettier
Loved John Denver singing about Colorado Rocky Mountain High !
Another outstanding adventure and with a good friend. Very nice bikes and huts to sleep in. Hard to beat that. Take care, Al
Thanks Al, it was a grand adventure...and got better everyday
Sooooo happy to see this video!!! To see you, to see Dana, to see some bits of CO and these nifty cabins! Awesome!!!!! Thanks for always helping inspire me to be motivated and positive! 🚲👍🏻
awww, so happy that you enjoyed it!
Good to see you both turning the pedals again ... greetings from Australia
Thanks Stuart! Greeting from a very cold and rainy Boulder, our winter won't end!!
great bike, great companion, great view, great adventure, i love it!!
Thanks! It was so fun
The next one can’t come soon enough 😎🚴♂️.. thanks for another Great bike adventure idea.. add to the Bucket List.. Hut To Hut.. Great Video..
Billy's Bikes & Brews thanks buddy! I think you’ll enjoy the next one
I was really into biking a few years ago, but somehow, I slipped back into my "old ways". Lately, I am really wanting to get back to it, but I need to exorcise some of my demons. I am hoping that pedaling again will help me to do that. Your videos are really helping me to get motivated. I just discovered your channel so I have many more to watch. Thanks for what you do.
That hut was the coolest thing ive ever seen!
Crumbs, I'm used to watching your older adventures, so was wondering where the next episodes were...only to realise this was hot off the press! Looking forward to the next one! :-)
Yep, it takes awhile to edit these, more to come tomorrow!
just cruising sites about priority bikes and tripped across this. v. cool. gearing sufficient to haul up mountains.
good to know. stay safe.
What would be cooler than running into Ryan at the huts snd getting to hang out with him and Dana 👍✌️
This looks like a great adventure. I'm excited to see it
Thank you for posting your adventures.. i'm riding with a childhood friend from Portland to the Oregon coast late June. Thru the Banks-Vernonia trail (an old railroad that was paved over...that means it is pretty flat. LOL) . Come join us..
Awesome, that'll be a sweet ride!
That looks like a fun adventure. Glad to hear the bikes are holding up.
yep, we had a great time
I can’t wait for your next bike Tour videos
Stay tuned!
O yah buddy, another bike tour!!!! Love it Thank you.
You're welcome!
Really diggin' the music behind this series!
Hi Ryan! Hi Dana! Thank you for another awesome inspiring video. Yes the desert is beautiful. I'm down here in Phoenix (have to work). I have a 10 day vacation coming up. Loading up my Surly Ogre and just heading out into the middle ...yeah....where ever I go. Yeppie!
Heading into the middle of nowhere is always a good idea...the best stars at night!
As ever good company, good scenery and a great new adventure!! Enjoy....
Thanks Sean!
Nice to see Dana back , kinda nice to see her front too.🤩🤩🤩
you funny!
Nice to see her again in your videos!
that road from gj to gateway is one of the most beautiful roads i’ve ever been on. never biked it only ridden my moto.
It sure is!
this is fantastic, as always. I love the bikepacking videos.
That was great. Thanks for taking me along.
So awesome that you are off to another adventure, it feels like if we are biking with you and Dana. Tell her that an internet stranger thinks she is very cool!
Thanks Armando! I will send her your message, Dana is the best!
Have you changed the oil on the Priority 600 yet? Do regular bike shops service the Pinion gearbox? Do you do it yourself? I'm interested in the 600 but am hesitant about oil changes on a bike.
Awesome! Can’t get over how much food was in that hut! Keep on rolling! 😁 🚵🏻♂️
It's pretty impressive!!!
Love your adventures Ryan. This one looks like another I need to put on the must-do list.
It's a sweet route!!
Been waiting for this video. Thank you Ryan. Love your videos. It's very interesting that Dana had the drop bar on her P600. I am planning to treat myself with P600 on my birthday which is in September. Thank you. Can't wait for the next episode.
Thanks for watching Naresh! Her bars are a custom job, but I think that Priority will offer this in the future. I hope you love your new bike in September!
@@duzer The 600 comes with a "grip shifter" right? So she must have had to switch to a new shifting system for the drop bars?
I love your videos. They remind me why I love Colorado. And my Specialized Diverge bike.
I was waiting on this one from all the Instagram shots. doing this tour next year.
How did Dana re wire the gear shifts on a drop bar? Love the bikes! Love the channel!
Ever Zemogalliv I second this question!
dude another great video as always. Thanks for showing us another part of this amazing landscape
Thanks Timothy!
RYAN!
What a great great video
Thanks Clay! The next one is even better
Amazing and beautiful and your attitude is electric. Thank you for sharing your adventure. I’ve been waiting for the upload and look forward to the next episode. I was in Utah last summer and fell in love with Moab. Y’all are the best. Be safe. 💚
49 Plus 1 thanks! Moab and the surrounding desert always brings out the stoke!
Nice to see you guys having a good time. The drop bars are interesting....I think many people would like more info (perhaps parts list) on this mod.
We had so much fun out there! Any shop could put drop bars on the 600, it’s pretty easy
Love your videos and energy Ryan! Keep spreading the love.

Thanks Mike! This was my first time to the area, and it blew me away. Lemme know if you have any questions about Colorado. You're gonna LOVE it
@@duzer I'll take you up on your offer as vacation time gets closer. Thanks
Awesome trip Ryan. I’m headed down to desert country next week to ride the pinions and pines out of Flagstaff. Hopefully I can experience some warmth.
Very cool! It's been a pretty cold and wet winter/spring...hope you get warm weather
Thanks for sharing the beauty of Colorado.Safe travels.🚴✌
Colorful Colorado!
Great video. Amazingly beautiful country. And great to see Dana's smiling face again. I'm glad your testing out the Priority 600 as a touring bike, I've been wondering how it would do.
epic Ryan!! Man i love those canyons. I went to Moab for Easter Jeep Safari and seeing this reminds me of how awesome that part of the country is!
Good stuff like always! 👍
Thanks buddy!
Love your bike adventures, looking forward to see more! Saludos!!
Thanks Sandra!
Thanks for sharing. Doing the Tour of the Canyons trip this Fall with some other Boulderites. Great preview.
You are gonna LOVE it!! Next episode shows the best scenery
Thanks, Ryan! Looking forward to it. At some point if you don’t describe it in the videos I’d appreciate hearing if you think that catching a shuttle from Moab to GC on the front end is better than leaving a car in GC and catching a ride back at the end.
we don't talk about that...Dana's wife came and picked us up at the end, but the guys we met from Denver did the shuttle, seemed smooth
Hey Ryan,
LOVE your videos! Keep 'em coming!
My wife and I plan to do a weekend bike trip up the coast in Orange County, California soon.
Mostly flat beach cruiser terrain.
Sorry to hear about Ali.
Really looking forward to "joining you" on all your future adventurers!!!!
May you have many, many more!!!!!!!

Sounds fun! I love coastal riding. Have a great time.
Wow, so inspiring! Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Ok cool thank you...
Well really enjoyed it
Stay tuned for more tomorrow
Wonderful video. thanks! I have a super delicious easy Kidney bean 3 ingredients recipe to share, will connect. Happy trekking.
can't wait for the next episode
It's a good one, comes out tomorrow
Great, inspirational videos thanks for sharing. Motivating me to want to take a bike tour!!
I hope you do!!
I'm curious about that pinion gear box and belt drive. Do you think that's the future for all bikes? I like how low maintenance it seems to be. Also, I really want to do that Durango to Moab hut to hut ride (but the singletrack version).

Another great video! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Don! More to come
Thats a good group of people you got going!
For sure...you'll meet more interesting characters in the next episode

This is making me want to come ride in Colorado.
I recommend it!
Love you ryan. And by the way your orange shades are looking fantastic.
We're here for you Ryan! It's easy and worthwhile to customize your bike, like Dana has done. Sometime maybe try the Jones Loop H-Bar or my favorite, the butterfly/trekking style. My hands, wrists and right shoulder are much happier now during long rides.
I'll look into that bar!
Your lucky you have wild sage in your area, I have to grow it in the garden. If I have congestion due a cold or allergies I like to make a tea using 1 part sage leaf and 1 part mullein leaf.

That sounds like a great tea, I'll have to try that. More roadside plants coming in the next episode
@@duzer you can find the herbs at food coops. Just put it in a tea ball and put it in hot water. Nothing like the smell of sage in a hot tea!
Can't wait to see more! How easy was it to put dropbars on the 600?
The next episode is AWESOME! Blue skies and beautiful red rock canyons. Priority put the drop bars on for us, custom job...don't think it's too hard though. Hopefully they'll start selling them stock with the bike

We jumped in rivers when possible, otherwise we just rolled dirty ;)

Ok Ryan I'll just do likewise.
Have you tried a FAT Bike yet ?
