  • The Gifford Pinchot Wilderness is pretty much heaven on earth.
    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.

    Ali, I am osteopath and keen cyclist and my tip for your knees is stretch. Quads, hams and calf muscles each stretch for 30 seconds (15 easy 15 a little harder) and this will help. My knees aren' t good (too much high intensity training when younger) and stretching still works for even though my knees reach 60 yoa next year. Good luck and enjoy. PS use small gears and "twiddle" up hills!

Without sounding too cheesey (I'm in Wisconsin) the two of you appear to have the "right stuff" to make it across the USA and remain on speaking terms when you reach the Atlantic, Do you intend to camp across the west and warm showers your way from the Mississippi east? You are more than welcome to park yourselves and bikes in Central WI anytime you want. awaiting episode 4

    Here's what route I *think* they took:
    up route 503 from Vancouver up to Amboy and Chelatchie.
    Crossed the Lewis River between Lake Merwin and Yale Lake.
    Went upstream along Yale Lake to Cougar.
    Continued upstream along Swift Reservoir to Northwood where you crossed the Lewis River to the south side again
    Camped out in Curley Creek area next to the Lewis River
    Next day, you went up Curley Creek Road
    At the intersection of FS Road 30, you headed south to Carson, WA, up and over Oldman Pass.
    You found a taco wagon at the lumber mill.
    Pro tip: If you have more time, the Lewis River upstream on the Lewis River Trail from Curley Creek is simply beautiful to mountain bike on. There are also a wonderful set of waterfalls that are, well, beautiful.

    G'day, Ryan and Ali! Sorry but I've only just 'found' you on yr great ride. I watched some of Ep. 13 and now 3. Have read some of the comments below; gee, there are some aggro people out there. We Aussies tend to be more easy-going than that. I would have been a little peeved re the front derailleur problem but, as you said, the bikes got knocked around on the plane, so no real surprise when the derailleur failed. Anyway, I look forward to catching up with more of your adventure and I hope to do some bike touring again before too long. (Last one was in '79, or was it '80?)

      The front derailleur was bent when we shipped the bikes to Oregon...

    Hey Duzer, On this trip did you go up through Vancouver Camas and up the washougal river headed east to White Salmon?
    I’m just on the other side of the Columbia River from Washougal.

    From what I see of Ally's riding; her saddle is a too high by the position of her leg and foot when flush to the ground; she needs to bring her saddle down a tad.

      I thought the same, makes me uncomfortable to watch her, but the videos are great.
