Every bike ride has a story, some more memorable than others. Some rides are easy, while others, are multi-day adventures that push you further than you’ve ever gone on a bike. Some rides are all about speed, but then there are rides like this Gravel Ride of the Week, that offers a grand journey through the amazing Virginia countryside all the way from Washington DC to Harrisonburg. This is my account of the first time I went bikepacking, and how I set out to complete the TransVirginia route from DC to Harrisonburg. Check out this video to see how all unfolded!

Great video!
Super awesome friend 👍
Some very tough riding, but a great adventure and memories for the rest of your life.
Killer ride! Loved seeing the VA countryside. Great storytelling too! Well done!
Thanks so much! I truly appreciate this feedback. Be sure to also check out my Rockstar video. I think you’ll enjoy that one just as much. The full TransVA route extends even further south down into VA and I still need to cover that in the future, but in my Rockstar ride I fill in some of the blanks as I rode between Harrisonburg and Roanoke.
@@MountainRoadRide currently watching it now🤙🏼
I was clapping as you pulled into Harrisonburg!!!!! Good job!!!!
It’s comments like this that inspires me to make more videos. Thank you!!
That second day tho. So painful yet rewarding achievement. 🤘🚵
Yet another great ride, great editing & most of all inspiration to keep on pedaling & discovering new routes & places. Hats off to you 🤘😎🤙
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the feedback. It's comments like yours that keeps me motivated to make more content like this.
Love your videos, really well done, inspiring and gotta love how happy you are when you are on the bike, even when you are suffering. Congrats on a great ride.
Thanks so much for the comment. Cycling really is a passion, and being on the bike is very much a “happy place” for me, even if it means struggling through tough days :)
mantab euy, well done !
this footage was really well done... great job and what an accomplishment!
Thank you! I really appreciate that feedback. I’m really proud of how this video turned out. Hopefully there will be some more bike trips in the near future.
I could tell you crossed at Point of Rocks based on that sketchy bridge.
Way to go my man! Love the content. Hope to see you on the road.
Thanks! Really appreciate the feedback. I’ll be at a few of the Virginia gravel events over the summer, maybe I get to ride with you at one of them.
Inspiring! Well done!
You told me your last reply, that I would enjoy this video! Well I think the second day was not as good for you, be careful while you are giving the rest of us awesome entertainment which I enjoyed emmensley. Take care wait for next one, I’m still trying to catch up on all of the rest ones. Thank you enjoy your weekend.
Glad you liked the video! Thanks for the continued support and for following along with all the content on the channel. I’ll be sure to take care of myself so I can keep making these videos.
great video dude- thinking of riding the 550 in may!
Thanks for watching! You’re in for a challenging ride, but most certainly one that will reward you with some incredible scenes along the way.
Epic! Cheers, friend, that is inspiring and to shoot video while doing it... appreciate the views.
Thanks so much! It truly was an epic ride and one that I feel very proud of - the best part is being able to share the journey (and ofcourse the views) with others.
Imagine what those tour divide guys must feel like. I honestly don't understand how they do it.
Great ride......a lot of heart.....is it possible to get the GPX track on this full-ride as I see you went many side roads?
Thanks! You can find all the details about this route (including RideWithGPS file) on the official website: www.transvirginia.org
Did you do the Valley Route?
What’s your bike set up and gearing
I'd love to do a ride like this. Have you ever camped instead of getting a room?
I haven’t camped on the TransVirginia route, but be on the lookout for my next video (launching next week). I did the Rockstar route over 4days and camped along the way.
@@MountainRoadRide Wow, just checked out the route. Definitely looking forward to the video.
Awesome ride! Will it be possible to share your ride route?
Thanks for the feedback! Be sure to check out the TransVA website (www.transvirginia.org). There you'll find all the links to the various route options along with lots of other resources about how to plan out a trip through this area.
@@MountainRoadRide oh great! Will surely check it out!
