Astoria to Portland-Ryan and Ali Bike Across America-Ep 2

- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- We leave the beautiful beaches of Astoria, and head Eastward...
I'm excited to announce that Ali and I are riding across the USA! We're riding Trek's new gravel bikes, the Checkpoint, and the goal is to take the road less traveled in search of great people and inspiring stories. Besides profiling the wonderful people along the way, we'll be asking everyone for LOVE advice. Our route will take us from Oregon to New York and WE WANT YOU to help out. If you have any ideas of places to visit, friends to meet, or burritos to eat, find us on social media and point us in the right direction.

I wish I could respond to all your comments like I usually do, but I’m busy riding:) know that I read them all and appreciate each and every one of you. Stay tuned!
Ryan thanks for great videos and the funnies. I do a similar chanting... Safe now... Safe now...Safe now (or All Safe Now). Three times when I get nervous about cars going by. Covers all biking mayhem situations, plus all are positive words (i.e. without negative "no" word)
Omg i love Ali. Putting flowers in her hair. Good sfvice
Wow a Bike Inn sounds like the coolest thing ever.
It was
this series just gets better. I'm afraid I'm going to want to binge it all for the next who knows how many hours straight!
Thanks Trey!! Glad you're enjoying the series. We sure had fun making it! Sending you lovecycles hugs from Boulder!
I have finished watching your 3000miles video, truly I am sad with what happened to you guys.
Oh dear Ali is sweet in this video. The bamboo forest, love it. Just say hi whenever you contact Ali. Those are truly amazing videos.
We're still friends, I'll tell her Hi from you!
I know I’m late in watching this. But great work. Thank you.
Hey thanks! It's never too late :) Thanks for watching
great love advice, my wife and I live this
The man at the end was so smart with his advice about letting her download and not try to solve her problems. Go Ryan and Ali!
Sucessful relationship advice piece these days is right there at 9:51 when he said "I think that right" after his wife said her part 😁...
I'm enjoying the fun you two are having - and it's only just begun! The relationship advice from Jason and Hilary sounded pretty good to me. It was a little like they were the wise person at the top of a high mountain, a guru. Enjoy the rest of your trip.
You guys are super cute- the couples u are meeting are super cute- I LOVE THIS IDEA! PS - that bike inn looked awesome! 💗 safe travels!
Blisters and Bug Bites they had no doubt living many people's dreams
This is painful to watch given what happened after the trip, but I’ve watched every other ryan video that exists. So it’s time. Ugh. 👍🏻❤️
It’s ok, breakups happen, and we’re still friends
I have watched many videos on RUclips as part of my job. As far as vlogs go, this is one of the best. The sense of adventure and spontaneity is well conveyed and the encounters are varied and engaging, helped somewhat by the interesting characters you meet along the way and your good selves. Good job!
Andrew David Boyle thanks my man! That’s a huge compliment. We’re loving the adventure and the ability to share it. Cheers
Kicking back here in Liverpool, England...and looking forward to watching this adventure with you 2 nut cases :P
Right on! Hope you enjoy it!
Look forward to this adventure.. it will be fun to watch your relationship grow as the miles pile on.. good luck...
Watching this the second time through, I wish I had friends like Jason & Hilary, I feel like they are amazing.. definitely a power couple!! U deserve way more subs too man it's crazy your content is one a kind, hang loose Duzer
They're really good friends! Thanks for watching again!
Thank you guys for this video, make me want to do the same thing here, where a live!! You're amazing, you too together! Good luck
Thanks Andre! Hope you get to do it someday!
It is extremely hard not wanting to do this when watching you guys! Great so far! Love it! 😍
"It's hard to be anything other than blissful when you have flowers in your hair." (Ryan, it's Clay Evans; just using my trail name.)
Pony clay!!!! I bet you look mighty pretty with flowers in your hair:)
Awesome 70 mile day!
Saw your bike thief vid and wanted to share my story of a bike thief. Didn't think you would see it on that vid so I'm just gunna leave it here for everyone. Hope you all enjoy the crazy! (story below)
I have a sort of similar story.... I was in college about 2 years ago, and lived in a place that had 1 set of stairs leading to the front door. I always locked my bike at the bottom between classes, but took it in at night. Well between class one day, I heard the clang of a bolt cutter breaking through the first post of the fence that my bike was locked to.( I locked it to 2 knowing where I was leaving it was risky, in the hopes that if someone tried to take it I would hear them break the first post, and make it outside before the second post was cut). Obviously my strategy worked, and I bolted up from my desk and flung my door open, and theres a skinny crackhead looking guy hunched over my bike!!!!! I scream "THATS MY BIKE" and jump down the stairs, he sees me and tries to make a break for it. As he runs for the complex's closed gate, I shove him as hard as I can in the upper back, and he careens into the gate, crumpling to the ground. he scrambles up, and is now cornered by me and my roommate(who came running after me) he tries to bolt again but I grabbed his jacket hood, he backs up to a tree and I grab is shirt collar and start hoisting him up the tree with it (picture him standing on his tip toes, trying to grab my hands, with his back to a tree, and me pushing him upwards against the tree by his neck), slightly choking him. he says to let him go and I ask what his name is 'my names ben man, please just let me go' me 'well ben, you just made the biggest mistake of your fucking life!!!!' then me at the top of my lungs 'HELP HELP HELLLLLLLLLLP HES TRYING TO STEAL MY BIKE!!!!! HEEEEEEEELPPPPPPP' and boom, doors all over the complex start to fling open and other college guys rush to my aid. we corner him up against the pool gate and call the police. we waited for about 5 minutes and then my sadi Arabian neighbor rotahan comes out with 3 belts and a towel rack 'we need to tie him up???!!!! WE NEED TO TIE HIM UP?!?!' I tell him no, that the police were coming. Rotahan turn to the bike thief and says 'in my country you steal from him you steal from me!!! you want to steal from me??!?! raises towel rack 'ben' (real name tony knight, look him up on az public records)starts to squirm out of our grip, we get ready to jump the guy, and just at that moment a police officer walks up, asks whats happening, and puts tony in handcuffs. He ended up getting a year in prison because my bike cost more than 2k, which makes the crime a felony. And THAT is my story. Don't steal bikes!
Really enjoyed this one Ryan! Keep having a blast, great video! Thank you for sharing your adventures!
If traveling through/near Alliance, Nebraska a visit to Carhenge, just a few miles northeast of town, might be worth the trip. You may know that Carhenge is an attraction (sculpture?) of old car bodies painted all gray and set up like Stonehenge in England. Maybe there is a statement about the obsolescence of the internal combustion engine or something in there (though Stonehenge itself might not at all be about obsolescence).
My love and I are going to have to stay at the The bike'n! My favorite part is Ali putting daisies in her hair! Great idea.
It's a great place, and pretty cheap! 20 bucks a person
wish I was there with my wife right now, and with bikes!! awesome
Epic! I'm starting to follow your trip buddy!
Right on! Hope you enjoy it
Great journey together! Have fun!
Love the advice from your roommate! Way to go :)
Glad you liked it!!
Really good stuff Ryan (and Ali)! Keep up the good work and I’m looking forward to more videos.
I thought you where going to break her in right by riding across America on a single speed hahaha , that bamboo forest was kind of creepy after watching the new King Kong movie when that giant spider was up on top of the bamboo with long stabbing bamboo legs lol. I pray that y’all have a safe and wonderful journey. Oh and it would be cool if a hummingbird flew up to Ali’s flowers in her hair , did it attract any bees 🐝
This is so fun to watch!.
One thing I suggest is that When You ask A person About how to improve Your relationship, Have Them sit down with you And Setup the camera so we can see them talking and we can see you and Your Gf's Reaction, just like a podcast.
Just a thought that I wanted to throw in that may make this adventure more fun to watch!, Have a great time you tow! ❤️
might not be as candid though. That's the thing
The goonies was the best!
They were!!! Love em
A great start too your new adventure....can you do us a favor. When you come across places like the Bike In....can you post there place and website info. I know during your trip we will see places that I will want to know and get information on. Thanks you two...Ali...dont let Ryan pedal you into the ground. Stay safe you two and keep the rubber side down. LOL
Hi Ryan and Ali! I love the balance you bring not just to the vid but to each other. Light and Love
This episodes love advice is great.
I’ve been a Duzer fan for about 2 years now, but I gotta say this new dynamic as a couple really seems to work, you fill my heart with joy.
Absolutely amazing guys I hop the adventure of life continues for you both.
Oh My I would never get anywhere...so many cool things to see and do!
"Make sure to encourage your partner to go on their own adventures." Great advice. That's what Jody and I have done, too.
Really loving this new bike touring video series. The love advice gives it that unique personal touch :)
I caught up with you mid-trip, so I am coming back to the beginning! "Hello Time Machine!!!"
Cool!! Hope you enjoy the series, by the time you toward the end, I'll have edited all the videos :)
Great video. Appreciate the experience. Glad your having a good time. Take care, Al
Wise old man.
Love it.Love it. Love it.
Enjoy every pedal. Life moves on real quick Ryan. Great video. Cheers mate.
8:39 love advise ,i notice they share .. space space and more space . very true !
Looking forward to seeing your adventures.stumbled on your channel a few days ago.
Great advice from everyone! Cool idea to keep the love advice theme the whole trip!
If this is anything to go by your going to have a great trip, and we are going to see some great videos.
Ryan, it was a pleasure and heartwarming to watch your video and see that you're off to a great start and achieving the goals you set out for. I'm glad the two of you or making this trip because it's obvious it means alot to you. I'm sure you will find lots of nice stuff on the way, but cars and bikes on busy roads are always an issue near cities. hopefully you'll find all the roads less traveled. I'm amazed you could still put out a video with all the overhead looming of performing the trip itself.
Great video! I am trying to figure out how to bike to Astoria from Portland and back.
You can do it!
jk sorry i just realized you posted your route. Thank you!!!
;) happy trails
I love your videos only recently found your channel I sat and watched your Baja devide series trying to get a bike so I can get out there myself 👍👍👍
Always be yourself, trust your partner and encourage them to be their best. Don't ever go to bed angry.. Deal w issues, don't let them fester. Above all, have fun and laugh. You guys are on the right track. It should be easy to make it work.
Love your channel Ryan ! Been watching for a few months now
Awesome video !!
What my father always says about relationships, never promise anything except you will do your best everyday and enjoy what life throws at you. I hope this may help somewhere along the trip, if not I’ll send my dad after you guys until you figure this out, lol
Great luck and God speed and I’m very jealous, how I wish I could do that ride some day.
Love this series. What do you use to edit your videos/pics while on the road? Do you use anything else besides the Sony? I want to know more about your tech.
ANDY!!! YOU GOONIE!!
I think you guys finding a place to crash the first night out is a fantastic sign of a very good ride . As far as relationships go I think the basic steps to a great long relationship is having the three main ingredients. Communication, Trust , Honesty . I think if you lack one of these basic three your doomed to fail . Good luck on the ride if you come through Chicago and need a place to crash look me up . Be safe .😊🚵♀️🚵🏼♂️
As someone with over 30,000 miles on an ebike. How you have no mirrors on your bikes I don't understand. Mirrors are super vital to me. I rarely ride to the right of the white line as well. Which is why I rarely have flats. I often go 5,000 miles on the same tires with no flats. That berm gravel holds the sharp bits of debris just waiting for your tire. I only move to the right of the white if it is for some reason safer for me to do so, but most of the time it is less safe. I am planning an 8,000 + mile ebike trip from the Atlantic, down to the gulf, across some of the Mexican border, up to Venice beach, then meander back towards the east coast, hitting Niagara falls to hit the Canadian border. Love the video work on this.
Coming to NYC? Coney Island might be a fun place to end your trip and dip your tires in the water. One of my sisters got married on the boardwalk there.
This is so awesome. I would love to do something like this with my gf.
If you end up in Milwaukee, WI and need a place to stay reach out and you can stay with us.
Good luck!
Awesome 👍📸🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️📸👍
Your handlebars look sweet! How wide are they?
I have a Q&A question you make all these awesome videos but how do you decide on when to take out the camera and when to get in the miles it is awesome that you guys did 70 miles for me that is one of my struggles when I make my videos to do 5 miles before I get my camera out to start making a video then I see that perfect bird or the perfect waterfall and I feel I do more time taking pictures than I do right in my bike I am the fat man on a bike from Klamath Falls Oregon
I liked the way Chris gave the impression that only 'normal' people ride bikes ( ;
Nice and venture and really happy you found a partner to share with. Now if I could give an advice, it would be that you two should simply enjoy each other as much as possible, getting to know each other and just be yourself with one another, have each other giving your own time and just enjoy the relationship as much as you guys can cause once you get into a much more serious relationship such as living together and stuff like that things can drastically change for good or bad. THE BOYFRIEND AND GIRLFRIEND RELATION is just that. A boy friend who she has a much deeper connection with but that she’s always free to make any decisions on herself and the relationship and viceversa. HOPE you get my point. You guys rOck together and I’m happy for you. Keep it up and just enjoy. Happy trails my friends
You’re full of beans,Ryan.lol
always!
ok i cried again... love the flower on your beautiful girlfriend she is adorable. Why i am crying again!? really nice the waterfall and your friends gave excellent advised.
Haha I hate flaties, but I love long roads through the woods!
Steven N i use armordillo tires from specialized. Why would'nt everyone?
赞👍
Great tour! It was surely a great adventure! Thank you for the videos, all of them are exciting and ...and I do love them! BR: Andrew from Hungary
András Hajma thank you for watching Andrew!
Have you ever seen a bamboo bicycle frame?
im from sweden
Bamboo is a pest of a plant
Yo this dude loves beans.
FIRST !!!
I think the neck plroblem is becaus of the handle,should use a straight one
Johnny PacMan maybe just move stem up an inch. I like bars with lots of places to rest hands.
Ryan, what pedals are you guys using? Thanks!
I have another q & a question how many miles do you do before you set up your camera to take another shot for your videos to balance out how many miles you do and to make all these awesome videos for myself and being the fat man on a bike what could happen when I make my videos I try to do three to five miles but then there are times that be a perfect sunset or sunrise or beautiful waterfall that I would just half to get my camera out and to gets that in part of my videos so I find myself trying to get the perfect camera angle or picture more than riding my bike to get 2 miles in how do you decide I'm getting the miles in order to get to stop and dig out your camera
I thought u woke up in Japan.
Orono Maine is where the University of Maine is it's right beside Bangor Maine and you're going to love it there if you can only make it up there and look up some of the greenway path and Maine New Hampshire in Vermont and I think that's about it if you want more information about all that stuff contact and Maine bicycle correlation and see all the great work they are doing and of course you got Mount Katahdin that's up there and that's beautiful that is absolutely beautiful and that's in the Millinocket area and look that up you will not regret it that's a great hike or you can take it bicycles up I believe what was that Cadillac Mountain on the coast I don't know but Mount Katahdin is a state park or something like that I don't know don't really go there hope you guys have a great safe trip and no kissing in public LOL oh and something else you're going to want to know too it is legal for men and women both to go topless in Maine just thought I'd let you know LOL have a great trip you do I look forward to seeing more videos about your trip
Burlington Vermont is a great place and Bangor Maine is a great place mentioned to you before Bangor has concerts on the waterfront if you have any idea when you're going to be there look it up so that you can try to get tickets ahead of time because it's a pretty busy place when they have it they have some pretty famous people that Tim McGraw has been there all kinds of people and roll and Bristol Tennessee you got to go to Bristol Tennessee and you got to go to Asheville North Carolina downtown hang out the park for the day awesome Place awesome place is a hippie Town basically you're going to love it there Burlington Vermont to hippie play store where they sell clothing made out of hemp Bangor Maine if you have ever heard of University of Maine Orono well where the University of Maine is
Thats unfair to Ali ... Ryan gassed up on beans for propulsion.
Haha
That was not supposed to send
Is Ryan vegan? I see he likes his beans :)
I feel like Ryan needs a new girlfriend so we can have Love Cycles Season Two!
haha, maybe someday soon, who knows! or I'll just get a dog ;)
All your friends seem very liberal.Bernie people I assume.
I like goats. meeeeh
