    FF is such a positive soul. No negativity, he falls down and laughs about it, then brushes himself off and keeps going. The world needs a LOT more people like FF!

    These is the 3rd time I have watched this bike Tour and I have put my map together for my first bike tour. It is only 3 to 4 weeks. But would have never done this without your videos. Thank you for all the inspiration.

    Well done! I enjoy your new format. Google seems to have adopted the US Census road database; meaning a power line corridor is equal to a county road. And it seemed your one route was exactly that. Maybe Montana is famous among us that have worked in energy for those very corridors.
