I really liked your bikecamp video. I’m also a bikecamper and I think you in this clip managed to capture the feeling when you are out and travelling on a bike ☀️🚴💨💨💨
You haven't been in sleep hell until....I hiked into the night to arrive at a NFS site near Missoula Montana only to be rudely awaken by a train..horns, bells, etc. but I was so close the ground shook. Every three hours, finally asleep then to be awaken by a moose deciding to walk through my area. Not as noisy as a goose, but un-nerving.
I rode from MA to Albany and proceeded along the tow path westward to Rochester - ie. same/similar ride but reverse direction. Loved seeing those locks and sights again in your vid. Great time riding along the canal.
I love your relaxed attitude to bike packing, i used to try and do 60/70 miles a day. Now i'm more like 40 miles a day. But then i'm 54. My theory is, as long as the scenery has changed, you end the day in a different place, and you feel like you've done a good days work. Milage is not that important. I pride myself on bed to bike in an hour first thing in the morning without breaking sweat. How about you? As for butt bones, i'm assuming you mean Arse ache as we say in England? My advice to anyone is buy the biggest wide ass saddle you can find, and add a comfy gel cover if it helps. The noisy campsite, well we've all been caught out by one of them. My only advice is take some spongy ear plugs in case of Emergencies. Gary Hertfordshire England
Honestly, arse ache is a much better combination of words, I’m going to start saying that :) And i like your theory on scenery change - i am totally about that. Will definitely bring earplugs next time. Thanks Gary!
Omg. I hate it when paper coffee filters let go! It’s really awesome that you did that alone and camped! Thank you for sharing your bravery and loved your attitude and getting the negative out strategy. You can do anything!
This is a great video. Thanks for sharing. I am also inexperienced bike packer. But I have been on many long rides before. Tip: put a little salt in the water. It helps to keep your salt levels right and helps with with keeping your hydrated. Another thing I underestimated is that it is very different to bike with all the stuff on the bike. I can usually do 120 miles a day, but with all the stuff I am down to around 75 miles a day. I also made the mistake of thinking I could do 230 miles in two days with all the stuff. Now that was a hard lesson for my ego, but it was a lot of fun. Keep on rocking on -John-
I got really excited when you got to rt 7 in Pownal. I used to go to SVC in Bennington VT and loved riding that whole area. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Hi Marina, very cool video, watching you ride and camping out is wanting me to do another long distance ride. I have rode from St. Augustine, Florida to San Diego, California 3 times, we rode the whole distance of the Natchez Trace bike trail and my last long ride was from Kokomo, Indiana to my condo in Key Largo, Florida. That ride was done during the winter months, not a fun time. Thank you for sharing your adventure, it brought back fond memories.....
Thank You for an entertaining video. I liked your insights. Biking the GAP trail had what seemed like trains going through my campsite. The C & O also has trains nearby. It is funny... the trails are often Rails to Trails. Yet the trains seem to be oblivious to the "to". Happy trails to You. I look forward to checking out additional videos of yours.
Love the video! My wife and I are on a world bike tour right now. We would love to come visit America as well... Your video was so funny and inspiring!
Nice video. With respect to your pain points, I would look into a different handlebar that has several hand positions, and maybe think about getting a bike fit to see what other things can be done to balance your weight distribution. It looked like your route was predominately paved roads. You will benefit from smoother tires for that type of riding. Smoother tires reduces both the rolling resistance and the vibrations that translate up through your bike to your hands and sit-bones. Both of these will go a long way towards making your time on the bike even more fun. Keep up the good work!
I think the drinking a ton of water and still beeing thirsty part is that youve sweated allot of your salt out, that happened to me on a 100 mile day on my first Katy Trail bike journey, I was hot thirsty and could not sweat to cool myself down for some reason with a full belly of water, at about the 70 mile mark I stopped to eat some peanut butter crackers and drink some lemon iced tea that seemed to calm my heart rate and lowered my body temp, I did get lucky 10 miles later in the next town all of their local eateries were closed for the day but I managed to find a bar that whipped me up a pizza with some gatorade. When I reached the Katy Trail Hostel I had salt crystals all along the side of my face and my browl and some as big as table salt along the back of my shoulders. Keep wandering and stay safe
@marinakhananayev I dont think its a dehydration issue more to do with your salt and electrolytes, Ive been dehydrated on a ride before your legs and calves cramp up like crazy, try these tablets called NUUN next time youre out on a long hot ride, they pack more nutrients than gatorade and theyre not near as sweet, it can be hard sometimes to drink anything very sweet when youre hot and thirsty
Your statement, "I was hot thirsty and could not sweat to cool myself down for some reason with a full belly of water" sounds like heat exhaustion to me. Be careful as heat exhaustion is only a step away from heat stroke. It may have been brought on by an electrolyte imbalance, but you can get heat exhaustion even with a good electrolyte balance. Be careful in the heat!
Nice video and great outdoor shots of a beautiful area. I hope to do the Erie Canal this coming summer. That coffee looks so good! Nothing better in the morning. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Tent,sleeping gear andCOFFEE . . I love bikepacking/ touring by myself. You can only complain to yourself. And you meet so many great people. I was looking at the Erie Canal trail but it looked like there was a bit of road riding and I had my dog with me on that trip.
Yes there is! Through most of the larger cities/towns, there is a lot of road riding. Good call on not bringing your dog! There are probably some decent chunks you could do with no road riding though… some of it felt pretty remote!
Fun video. I rode the Adventure Cycling route a few years ago and was always amazed by the kindness offered to me along the way. It looks like you have the right attitude and enjoy yourself along the way. I like to hike but love the opportunities to eat well when bike tripping.
Hey Marina, excellent video with super editing! Just discovered your channel and subscribed. We did the Erie Canal last year complete with the ever present geese. Didn't camp to enjoy the night time trains. Stayed in AirBNB and motels. Looks like you had a really good trip and that cabin was a lucky find. Thanks for the video and remain awesome. Steve & Jan
Awesome vid! I did the Erie Canal Trail myself this Fall, although I only went from Buffalo to Albany. Ironically it was also my first ever bike touring trip! Loved it and stayed at a few of the same locks you showed. Keep adventuring!
I spent 12 weeks in Kalamazoo Michigan. They have trains running through there 24 hours a day. After the first few nights, you get used to it, and tune it completely out.
inspiring! i rock the same tent and sleeping pad and got hyped when you broke them out! ive only done a handful of overnighters and just recently did a two nighter with two different kampsites. hoping to do something like this someday, keep on rockin!
I was going to hammer you because you video portrait all pink flowers and everything perfect and boom the night with the train did suck , the little ducky’s that’s your fault you are in their territory so it comes with the trip, over all nice video, ohhh nooo the coffee filter broke, in the end smile and keep riding 👍🏻
Gives me inspiration to finally try out the whole bikepacking deal.I have most of what I need just havnt tried it yet. DEFINITELY made me laugh a few times.Your fun.Good luck in your adventures.
Hi Andrew! I started just past Syracuse and went all the way to Albany. The trail was very well maintained and easy to navigate. Plenty of camping along the way, especially at the locks and different picnic areas. I sometimes camped at spots that were not designated as official camping sites and no one really bothered me about it.
@@marinakhananayev Hello Marina. Thanks for the information. Man, I am all set to the Ohio-Erie Trail this Summer, but after seeing your video I am thinking again. Looks like there are MORE places to camp on the Erie canal path and the scenery in your video is incredible. You did a great job and your attitude on the trail is spot on. And yes, a tour CAN be perfect and with pink flowers etc. and still have some bumps along the way. After a while, I don't notice the geese and ducks outside my own window when I sleep. I really enjoy your happy approach and attitude on the trail. I will remember this when I am on my own trip and maybe going through a rough patch. Looking forward to more videos if you plan to do more. IMHO, keep on being you with your videos and touring and it will all work out. Peace.
This is good am thinking of doing something like this never bike more than 4 miles a day in my life the route I wanna do is 400 miles :-/ what's bicycle and equipment you got??? Also what you use to document this
Greetings from England and thank you for your lovely video. Please can I ask a question about the coffee? I have never heard of anyone adding ghee to black coffee. Is that a common "recipe" in your part of the world? Or is it simply your personal preference?
I like the way it makes my coffee taste. Also - I don’t like eating breakfast because it makes me feel groggy and tired at the beginning of the day, so the fat content in the ghee helps give me a good energy boost in the morning until lunch! I don’t know how common it is but I’ve definitely heard of other people doing it before. You could also use coconut oil, super delicious too!
On this trail, there were plenty of gas stations or places i could stop. A lot of the spots i camped also happened to have porta potties too. Sometimes you gotta poop in the woods though… good to bring a lil shovel to dig a hole and some toilet paper for moments like that!
I would so marry that girl...! Life is about the simple things and the moments that make it special. You are a really nice sweet lady. I love riding my ebike. You are one with nature!
@@marinakhananayev Libraries gas stations bathrooms, there are even some camp sites that have electrical outlets such as within their gazebos somewhere. Do an engine research about where are convenient outlet ports to charge your e-bike when touring.
Nope, I don’t eat breakfast. don’t generally eat breakfast at home either because I don’t like how it makes me feel. But the ghee gives me energy to get to lunch!

Ooooof Pete, that sounds rough. I think I’d take geese over moose any day!
@Marina Khananayev oh yes oof for sure, a goose won't stomp you to death but they'll try lol
I rode from MA to Albany and proceeded along the tow path westward to Rochester - ie. same/similar ride but reverse direction. Loved seeing those locks and sights again in your vid. Great time riding along the canal.
Enjoyed your video. I'm 72 and love my bike. Nothing like a good ride. All the best to you ✌️
Loved the video, love bike touring myself now my wife ride a tandem I convinced her to bike tour on our tandem . Be safe
Love that!

Yes I will try that! Next time I will drink more electrolytes and snack more throughout the day too.
Really happy you shared this trip with us all. Can’t wait to see what’s next! Good job, bwoah.
I was beginning to wonder if New England only had sunny weather LOL. Thanks for the ride along.

That's one heck of a bike path, life should involve more of this kinda scenery
Glad I found this channel
Happy weekend

You’re probably right about the salt loss!! I will think of that next time I’m biking during a heat wave 😂
@marinakhananayev I dont think its a dehydration issue more to do with your salt and electrolytes, Ive been dehydrated on a ride before your legs and calves cramp up like crazy, try these tablets called NUUN next time youre out on a long hot ride, they pack more nutrients than gatorade and theyre not near as sweet, it can be hard sometimes to drink anything very sweet when youre hot and thirsty

I also like the butt song lol
Awwww! Thank you! So nice to hear.
I'm going to ride Erie Canal Trail next month, can't wait. Sorry for the train, I know they honk the horn all the time.
Nice video and great outdoor shots of a beautiful area. I hope to do the Erie Canal this coming summer. That coffee looks so good! Nothing better in the morning. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
8:00. That's what I would LOVE about that camp site!
Bob! You’re crazy!
like your video, it was very nice, simple and fun. I'm glad to hear you did it on your own. congratulations.
Good video! Thanks for sharing.
Really dig your style. More please
Thank you!! I do plan on making some more videos, I really love it.
Way to go . Looking forward to your next video.
Thanks for sharing! More insightful than most of the pro's on bike touring. You inspire!
Thanks Robert! That’s so sweet to hear!

This is a very fun and exciting video! A sweaty back is annoying!
I love the sound of trains!
Me too usually!!! Just not when I’m trying to sleep and they are blasting in my ears hehe
Gives me inspiration to finally try out the whole bikepacking deal.I have most of what I need just havnt tried it yet. DEFINITELY made me laugh a few times.Your fun.Good luck in your adventures.
Yes yes!!! You can do it!
Great video, inspiring me to get out and try bikepacking
Great video! Thank you for sharing, will be riding that path next year.
You’re going to love it!
Good story telling, I want to ride the Canal one day, but this will do for now.
You should do it! It’s amazing.
Loved the video. You may have just convinced me to try my first bike tour.
@alandabney that’s so sweet to hear! I hope you do it. It’s the BEST.
The part with all the coffee made me laugh. Please make more vids. Safe travels.
I must say your videos are more creative than what the guys put out ....haha 😊
very nice views enjoy
There are many benefits bike touring solo. I've been bike touring solo for years. 👍
Nice, I enjoyed that 👍
You should try to come to Malaysia.. we have beautiful country and warm people..
Earplugs. I always pack some, they can help.
Bonito viaje 🤩 felicitaciones
OMG! Just the video I needed!
Yeeeeeeeee!
There's so many coffee systems outthere!
Awesome vid!
Thanks for watchin’ Ben!
Well done. Would love to know more of where you started and the trail conditions you encountered. Was it easy to find camping spots?

You mention previous bike trips. I assume you already been touring , but this is the first time solo?
Marina drinks her coffee like it must have Brandy in it.
Terry, yes. You’re exactly right.
What is the deal with putting ghee in your coffee? Am I missing out?
I like your style. Your shooting angles are very nice. Can you post videos more often? don't miss it ok.
I am currently working on another video so stay tuned!
Greetings from England and thank you for your lovely video.
Please can I ask a question about the coffee? I have never heard of anyone adding ghee to black coffee. Is that a common "recipe" in your part of the world? Or is it simply your personal preference?
My grandfather always put butter or margarine in his coffee. Butter tastes much better.
I like the way it makes my coffee taste. Also - I don’t like eating breakfast because it makes me feel groggy and tired at the beginning of the day, so the fat content in the ghee helps give me a good energy boost in the morning until lunch! I don’t know how common it is but I’ve definitely heard of other people doing it before. You could also use coconut oil, super delicious too!
What do you do when you have to poo? Lots of places on the trail for toilet or go in the bush?
On this trail, there were plenty of gas stations or places i could stop. A lot of the spots i camped also happened to have porta potties too. Sometimes you gotta poop in the woods though… good to bring a lil shovel to dig a hole and some toilet paper for moments like that!
Lock 21 was a nice place.
Night noises are very disturbing until you acclimate to them. Try sleeping outside more often even when not traveling.
When hills are involved, my motto is reversed…what goes down must go up.
Very Smart Guy try to go here in pillippine
👏👏👏👏
Nice
👌👍
I would so marry that girl...!
Life is about the simple things and the moments that make it special. You are a really nice sweet lady. I love riding my ebike. You are one with nature!
❤❤❤
Not seen butter ghee in coffee before
It’s a great energy boost in the morning :)
Note to self, pack some cheap earplugs in camping gear.
Why do put ghee in you coffee? Enjoy you riding
try e-bike touring sometime. You may find that a little more enjoyable for you :)
Where would you charge it??
@@marinakhananayev Libraries gas stations bathrooms, there are even some camp sites that have electrical outlets such as within their gazebos somewhere. Do an engine research about where are convenient outlet ports to charge your e-bike when touring.
Ear plugs!
Bring ear plugs
do you have just ghee and coffee for breakfast wtf bro
Nope, I don’t eat breakfast. don’t generally eat breakfast at home either because I don’t like how it makes me feel. But the ghee gives me energy to get to lunch!
Ear plugs
great vlog marina. do you put ghee in your coffee? ive heard about this but never tried?
Yes i put ghee in my coffee! It’s a great energy boost in the morning.
