    Definitely is a memory that you all remember it though your life. I drove 12 times across the country and even then it was always a very exciting experience to see the whole country up close, the bicycle is even better you get a real feeling of touching every inch of it. Love the series thank you all. Cheers.

      Thanks for checking out the videos. I've ridden cross country 3 times, and 4th is in the works. Each one is special and you are correct about touching every inch.

    Hello, I enjoyed your video series Seattle to Boston. I road the Southern Tier in 2022 and it was an experience of a lifetime. So many variables come into play on an adventure this size. Where to sleep, get food, get water, take shelter in bad weather? I agree that the people I met were also the highlight of my trip...it restored my faith in the goodness of humanity that is in the country. You get to see so many small things when pedaling at 10-12 miles per hour, and the sounds and smells of the landscape. I will have to watch your other adventures and get inspired to plan my next cycling trip.
    Happy trails,
    Carmen from Fargo, ND

    I like your combination video and still photos. I always keep my rain fly attached at the back end of the tent to be quickly pulled over in case of a storm. In a rain storm I keep all my gear in their water proof bags and put on a wool sweater stocking hat and my rain coat and wait out the storm sitting on my sleeping pad. But you have another great war story to share.

    I loved viewing your series. I do self-contained touring. My bike setup is same as your riggs. I'm hoping to trek the Ohio-Erie trail this coming summer. I currently live in Mount Vernon, Wa. Looks like you began you trip close to me? In a month or so I will be moving back to Madison, Indiana. Thanks for sharing your trip.

    Well done for completing that epic ride.
    Seeing Wyoming in part 3 convinced me i have to do a drive across the U'S again. Not quite as ambitious as cycling i know. But i'd never convince my wife to do that.
    Loved all 4 of your films. Especially the bit when you sounded so cheerful the morning after the rain storm soaking incident.
    Any more epic rides planned?

      Gary, Thanks for watching our videos. It is very much appreciated. Next July we will be heading back to Whitefish, Montana and riding north into Alberta, Canada. We will do a loop and end up coming back through glacier National Park. I'm sure we will do a few other tours between now and then but nothing else is planned at this time. Thanks again.

    I've made that rainfly mistake. Weather can turn just when you get comfortable. Mostly flat; 8%; google is off enough of the time not to be totally trusted. Great trip & video. Keep them coming.

    • @anseladventures
      @anseladventures  Год назад

      Doug, We used mostly Adventure Cycling maps and GPX files. We used Google for places where we had to make up our own route. Unfortunately, Google let us down a few times. But it's not an adventure if you don't get lost.....right. 🙂

    You guys should use bike trailers to haul your food and water tools anything you might need. To save money you could stop at food banks or dumpster dive behind grocery stores sometimes stores throw away good food in their dumpsters its free they threw it in the garbage they don't care.

      We started in Seattle and rode north to the town of Sedro Wooley where we picked up the Northern Tier. We rode that to Whitefish, Montana. From there we took the Great Parks Route south to Missoula, Montana. In Missoula, we took section 4 of the TransAmerica Route to West Yellowstone. From there we rode the Parks, Peaks and Prairies Route passed Black Hills, Mt. Rushmore and on to Minneapolis, Minnesota. Then we used our own route across Wisconsin to Manitowoc, Wisconsin and caught the SS Badger Ferry into Ludington, Michigan. Once in Michigan we rode the Lake Erie Connector Route into and across Ontario, Canada. Once we got to Buffalo, New York we rode the Erie Canal Trail for 360 miles to Albany, New York. We finished the tour making our own route across Massachusetts to the JFK Library in Boston.

      Not that much. We each used one small packet for the entire trip. All of us use Brooks c17 saddles and Club Ride short liners. The combination makes for a comfortable ride.
