episode 2 of my travelogue post closing nutmeg needleworks. come along with ol' Ronaldo on some fun bike rides and musings on the road back east to restart "professional" life.
"To the desert go prophets and hermits; through deserts go pilgrims and exiles. Here the leaders of the great religions have sought the therapeutic and spiritual values of retreat, not to escape but to find reality.” ― Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild - It was great seeing you man. Glad no one got bit by that beautiful Western Diamondback! Love you buddy. xoxox
Quite some content..Thank you. Waking up to start my day,coffee and looking out at heavy cloudy West Donegal. One observation,just how perception differs. Your road trip-VAST! Life here in Ireland mostly revolves around a small hub (probably a low end Shimano) as opposed to moving between and all around a Chris King 700c wheel.. Good that your priorities included watching some Great Cycling Classics from Europe. Mine too! You love to ride bikes. Me too! As the World moves more and more away from humans being human,your journey involves walking the path of uncertainty,simplicity and meaning. All the best.
saturday morning tidings to you Felix! enjoying my coffee too, about ready to suite up for a full day out on the bike. cheers, and hope you are enjoying the Giro!
"I smell like the bulk aisle at your natural grocery store." Add in some subtle Nag Champa and I know the exact smell. And, nice looking photos. I love my GRIIIx. Perfect bike camera, much better than trying to lug around a Fuji GW90ii.
Give cilantro a try. I go through a bunch a day. Man these videos slay me. It's like the times we had in the 80's. I'm working my balls off to get back into riding. Vicarious is the word.
ha, you know thats a good suggestion with the whole bunch of cilantro... I think I will just switch entirely to garnishes. good luck getting back into riding! it is always there waiting ... nice to have examples out there of folks pedaling outside into their 100s
Thank you very much for sharing! I enjoyed this very much. I really need to get out more and explore this lovely land we are fortunate enough to exist on.
I like this a lot, for many reasons, the sounds/music are/is great also, would like to know who made it and how. Realy good vibes and atmosphere. The good and bit less good times all part of the trip make it very realistic experience to watch. Beautiful
Dang…was looking forward to seeing Namz. Looked like you had a nice retreat from real life, bet you needed it after Needleworks. Hope your new Factory works out for the both of you and I look forward to ordering a bag this mid summer. ✌️
Yes, I have (hung out with a rattle snake) I was riding the trail in the hills behind my house in San Jose. The rattler struck my front tire as I rode past it. I stopped and had a conversation with it. I apologized for riding too fast and it’s reply was to slip away quietly into the grass…
In an in,erview with Russ one thing you wish you had learned sooner was the correct way to set up cantilever brakes. Could you do a video showing us how to do that.
The only thing missing in this video is some Hermanos Gutierrez. Used to work in Durango. Great place to visit, but you went right past all the good riding in Farmington and Aztec!
I daily Teddies chunky, Roy-bose is how I say it, the smoothest tea. I was a couple weeks behind you. Southern AZ was a bit colder than you think. Still waiting for 70s back home.
Running across a rattlesnake on a ride can be a little scary. Especially when you nearly run one over. I nearly ran over an Eastern Diamondback here in Florida. Since I haven't seen one in years, I took a video of it. When I crouched to get a low angle zoomed in video, it hissed really loudly. Very intimidating.
Ronnie whats your hair secret? Bikin without showers is a common problem for me living on my bike and darn it the helmet/hat hair sweat is a curse. Yours is looking lush at all times.
Olive oil is the sauce of nature, works in salads, meals, pure, on bicycles, motorcycles, everywhere. You’re no human if you don’t have your own olive oil trees and harvest. Your personal garden must have: coffee, olive, salad, tomatoes, onions, strawberries, melon, cabbage, potatoes if not rice, corn, salsa, chili and cycle parts tree. A friend of mine has a Moto Laverda motorcycle parts growing tree and it’s wonderful, he’s got no issues getting the right parts. I plan to seed a campagnolo tree, and grow some chili rubber tree for tyres.
I’d plan a garden surrounded by the tree of wisdom (wisdom a day), a tree of vintage campagnolo parts, a tree of chill (shadetree), a tree of motorcycle parts, alternatively a lemon tree. In-between as said a garden, and to the sides a cornfield, a olive trees field. A cycles workshop, A outdoor Music setup, a BBQ place and an open bathtub for rainwater. A donkey, a goat, a cow, some chicken, dogs and cats.
Hey dude. …. That tea you were drinking..comes from South Africa. Specificity the western cape. It’s art of the fijnbos (fine bush) It’s pronounced “Roy boss” tea….Rooi-boss teah. Best with a teaspoon of honey…no milk. And great for sore throats. …..tease a teaspoon of honey/slice Of lemon and slice the of ginger….hot water and boooom let the healing process begin
@@davevan1264 to take it one step further Rooibos has protection status / is trademarked for South African (Cederberg, Western Cape) produced products and elsewhere they use the name Redbush... its a thing. Seen custard and rubarb flavoured tea which was straight up Rooibos.
I love the vidyas Ron, but I gotta say...I'd like to see you not record while driving. I know it's very common and the roads look empty, but I worry it shows the fans it's an alright to do the same when they are driving. Too many people out here dying in the streets! Nonetheless, much love!
100% agree. Had a friend killed on an empty road by someone looking at their phone. He was 6ft 5". The driver apparently didn't see them till he hit them.
love the simple bass track on this one. your use of audio is as sublime as your use of italian parsley.
Despite all of these big changes happening, you still remain positive and always have a smile on your face. That's a really great quality to have.

that DB was a real treat! loved seeing by strong daddy handle that snake ❤
I have mad respect for these type of van life videos showing the van actually lived in like normal people. No glam or fakeness to it

Gives me peace watching your Vlogs..super calming but inspires me to get out there on my bike. Thank you.
Really enjoy this sort of content 🐐
You make America a better place. Stay fresh!
Ron, you have that bulk aisle appeal.

Just a good man, two bikes, coffee, some friends and a van. That’s good Life👍
A good time watching and listening to your videos and seeing you riding and exploring fun areas with your friends is great!
Thank you very much for sharing! I enjoyed this very much. I really need to get out more and explore this lovely land we are fortunate enough to exist on.
Thank you for sharing this trip and these beautiful places with us ! Cheers from Rome italy
Love how those deer corked for each other during gaps - thanks for sharing the adventure; serves as great inspiration to get out there myself!
I really like roasted chickpeas. They're great if you're hungry and feel like eating a two hundred of something.
Really diggin this type of content Ron. Love from Germany
What a treat to join you on your trip! More Jordan content next time please. ❤

Loving the high double bass content in particular ❤
this might be the best channel on youtube, real content with great editing and cinematography
Thanks for stopping at Wilson Reservoir, its the cleanest lake in the state. I was hoping to see a couple of shots from your stop in Lawrence.
Dang…was looking forward to seeing Namz. Looked like you had a nice retreat from real life, bet you needed it after Needleworks. Hope your new Factory works out for the both of you and I look forward to ordering a bag this mid summer. ✌️
Lovin' your style my man! Think I came across one of those wilderness beavers a while back 😉
Ron, you're brilliant. BTW: Long Live CT Hardcore!
I'm an animal fat fan then nut oils. Definitely appreciate a great cup of coffee as well. Looks like a great day of riding!
Solid vid--love all of the adventures. I think you did a dynamite job on the music/audio track this time around. Also, that van is a champ.
Another excellent vlog, very relaxing :)

Same. They cute creatures imo, if you take the time to wait and are respectful. 🐍
I love the state of that stove my friend.
Love it Dude🥰 like very much your content❤
Yep, biked and camped that East Mesa Loop around the Santa Ritas. Lots of Hike A Bike. Beautiful sunsets in the winter out there. Happy trails!
Love your creativity man nice job
This video is giving me a warm comfort.
I say it “Roo-Boy’s” tea because my dog is named Roo haha
Loved the bathroom Pizza update hahaha, I feel that man 🎥 🍕
enjoyed seeing sights n sounds round AZ and elsewhere, I hope you ate both of those Pizzas yourself. so damn good.
ROY-bus is how my co-worker used to say it
had to watch it twice cause the feeling was exaclty what i was craving
Always a pleasure getting back to Wet Beaver Wilderness.
Wow awesome area!
“Roy bush tea” 👍 a great cup of tea
Just as you mentioned Durango Colorado... I hung out with a rattler in Durango in the late '90s on a bike ride with my brother.
is there a van build video or a walkthrough? i'd love it because the van is actually goals, love the stove and the bed
Came here for ron's bikes. Stayed for ron's cooking and coffee. (Nice scale btw)
In an in,erview with Russ one thing you wish you had learned sooner was the correct way to set up cantilever brakes. Could you do a video showing us how to do that.
Awesome, greetings Ronie
Lovely, thanks!
Beautiful lens
man really cooked and ate a whole bushel of garnish
missed opportunity for a better title here I am realizing
Lol was thinking exactly the same.
It never even crossed my mind that a person could eat that much parsley at once
@@Backwater-wanderer not that it would be healthy in any way....
Parsley is more of a condiment than a garnish where Im from. But was thinking more or less the same thing
dude has a good cut off shorts game, respect
The only thing missing in this video is some Hermanos Gutierrez.
Used to work in Durango. Great place to visit, but you went right past all the good riding in Farmington and Aztec!
Talk makes no difference in latex as far as efficiency is concerned :) amazing video as always.
Man, I felt that YOWZA!
I daily Teddies chunky, Roy-bose is how I say it, the smoothest tea. I was a couple weeks behind you. Southern AZ was a bit colder than you think. Still waiting for 70s back home.
Cream-Nut Baby!!! Made in Grand Rapids Michigan. Also the home of Velocity! ;)
Woo! Shoutout from VT!
you weren't kidding about cream nut. I grabbed a jar from time on my way out and it changed my life.
lol I was considering sending you a case ❤️
Good food care is essential. Meyers!
Inspired by the Chef. I would buy your cook book. :)
Switchgrass is real great riding especially to break up drives!
will defiantly be back to that spot. was perfectly placed for a day or two of leg stretching
Irrationably laughing at "we got a great epsidoe for you today, stick around..." as he holds a mic on a stick 😄
❤❤❤❤
Dumonde Tech is my oil of choice.

very intimidating I will agree. was lucky to be there with a snake enthusiast -- thanks for sharing!

I too, like olive oil.
Not all super hero’s wear capes 🚴✨✨

Teddie baby! Santa Cruz PB for the win though
I only sauté my parsley in body oil
lot lizard eating rainbows very nice lel
who's on the bass credits ? could it be ron, himself ? hmm
Are those the Tobias “never nude” Fünkes shorts? 😄
How about a tutorial video on using health food store oils to avoid showering and hair washing? PS Laird is a hunk
total hunk!
Beautiful! The slideshow was also superb. What kind of equipment do you use for the photos/videos?
Hey dude. …. That tea you were drinking..comes from South Africa. Specificity the western cape. It’s art of the fijnbos (fine bush)
It’s pronounced “Roy boss” tea….Rooi-boss teah.

Of lemon and slice the of
ginger….hot water and boooom let the healing process begin
mmm... really does the trick for me at night.
You have to go to Prescott and ride.
I also need at least 1 video a month. One a week would be awesome but I'm a realist.
Thanks
was heading there before I detoured to Durango on a whim. next time!
Rooibos... Roy like the name and boss... but more aw on the o... 😅 you're welcome.
Actually. Translation is Red Bush. "Roy" for Rooi and "bows" or "borse" for bos. Cause who needs reminders of their boss...

Ah, a man who knows how to pronounce Missouri !
In America even bike man travels by tank.
love me a boomer influencer
Roo-[schwa]-boss. With a schwa being the i sound in igloo.
nice
Roy-bows Tee
I thought the intro was a Norm Macdonald clip
Roy Boose! 🙂
Do you get most of your power turd ingredients from Ross Dress for Less or the Arby's on 22nd?
Lael !
what’s your coffee grains to h2o ratio?
I love the vidyas Ron, but I gotta say...I'd like to see you not record while driving. I know it's very common and the roads look empty, but I worry it shows the fans it's an alright to do the same when they are driving. Too many people out here dying in the streets! Nonetheless, much love!
100% agree. Had a friend killed on an empty road by someone looking at their phone. He was 6ft 5". The driver apparently didn't see them till he hit them.
Anyone know what the gorgeous music is around 21:28?
hi! it is adobe stock music, so I am not sure who the artist is
Hope ya scored a sweet pair a kicks at that Ross !
Care to give us new Laronites the context of the lael cameo?
Whats the thing under your top tube? :(
Ricoh gr ❤
no problem sir, no problem. but heat treated olive oil as damn too bad for body - carcinogenic
Do they have legalized gambling in Arizona? I saw your sticker at 4:17 that says Free Tibet.
what about carbon Jamis road bikes?
