This was a great video. It's nice seeing these adventures near Calgary. I hope you can do a "how to start bike packing" video soon for those of us newbies who want to get started. I might do a day trip bike around these roads this summer. Glad the algorithm recommended your videos.
I’d recommend talking to one of our local bike shops, Bike Bike up on Edmonton Trail would be my recommendation since they focus on utility bikes and touring. They’ll have some good advice, as well as good routes to try. As long as you have a bike, tent and sleeping bag, you can get started touring! Used panniers sometimes come up for sale online. MEC makes a good backpacking tent. Lots of people overthink the gear, when the best way to figure out what works is to load up and start riding. Once you’re out there, you’ll have a great time.
I love your positive mentality. I have a similar inner dialogue when going through tough times. It was so comforting to hear the way you manage obstacles and keep yourself sane and grounded. Way to make the safer decision at the river. I'm studying to become an herbalist, and I recommend picking and eating some dandelion leaves for extra nutrients and a fresh salad! ❤
Omg so glad I came across your content! Very entertaining and beautiful beautiful scenery. You have guts going solo. I bet it feels extremely rewarding when you reach your destinations. Very motivational! 😊😊
my goodness that is gorgeous .. so so good to see you doing so well Jenna! always a warm comfy feeling coming back to your channel and seeing what you’re up to 🥹
Do you know what I love besides me living where you live, you never take off your cool pink helmet even when you are off the bike! 😊 Another fun video to watch and enjoy.
Totally joined you for the entire journey. Thank-you for documenting this in your own ways and sharing with the world. Love your aura Jenna! Glad to have come across this. Sending love and respect your way.
You're so real lmao if I do long trips I always remind myself that working hard is the only way I'll be able to make it back to my car. Otherwise, when I'm home I don't feel like doing anything that might be challenging. Hurrah for trapping ourselves in unavoidable situations!
Jenna! Amazing job, I like the way you stayed calm and positive even when you got sidetracked a bit. This makes me want to hit the trails near where I live 🚵🏿♀️
Thanks for the adventure! I think you would feel better riding on the fattest knobbies that you can fit on your rims and frame, especially if you're into gravel roads. Cheers!😀
Hi Tired! Your at the top baby! Again!! It's all downhill from here, both ways! Thanks for taking us along for your ride. It was fun and scenic. The road less traveled.
this was amazing Jenna! thanks for sharing another stellar bikepacking adventure with us! gravel is so much more stimulating & adventurous than road riding in my opinion. ++ you get to make doggo friends 🐶 hope to see more gravel adventures in the near future! 😎
Hehe Although I still love a road ride this trip has definitely made me want to get out on gravel rides more!! And you’re right the dogs are a plus 🙂↕️
Looks like an awesome ride. Jealous of the scenery. I would really recommend a satellite phone(if you dont already have one) like the garmin inreach mini2 or something like that. Better to have it and not need it.
Actually hilarious that you said that because I had one on me the entire time and I didn’t even think of it 😂 also if I’m honest I’ve only ever sent the pre-set messages I’m still figuring out how it works
I started the video thinking that you were in Colorado, then you said kilometers and I thought 🤔 Didn't realize this was near Calgary till I recognized one of the roads hahaha. RUclips algorithm sometimes works great! Nice ride
Just out here waving and mooing at cows, and making friends with sweet dogs 😊💚 such beautiful scenery 😮 Another wonderful gravel bike trip journey video
A great new video and man - those views! I loooove that fresh light green in spring, where all the plants are just full of energy and screeeaaaaming to bloom. I bet that was testing when you went up a mountain and then also got headwind. But then again it could have hailed into your face, right?(happened to me some time ago - that hurt so much)
Looks like you were aiming to ride Old Porcupine's Choice Loop. Super bummer that Spray Lakes Sawmills removed the bridge over Cataract creek. Glad you stayed safe.
I was just finally about to get a tattoo from you 😭😂 so glad you’re posting again tho❣️ I loved your poetry. Meeting you on some Canada Day years ago felt like I was meeting a celebrity 😫
Stoopid bridge :)! I love riding in this area beacuse the views are epic. And yeah, smart call on not crossing that river, especially at this time of year when the water is still ice cold. I'm currently mapping out a ride from Edmonton to Drayton Valley. There are some campgrounds along the North Saskatchewan that I have not yet visited. Anyways, thanks for posting!
You have such a relaxing style of story telling! I love it. Thanks for sharing. Feeling inspired to go after steeper terrain after seeing those hills you did!
Great video! There is a lot of variety in gravel. It can take a while to work out the tires. If you are riding locally you can work it out pretty well, but if you are doing a tour things can change a lot with the surface.
Well Done. It can be brutal on 38's trying to plow through gravel and bigger rocks. Makes for a good workout though. LOL. That was one hell of an achievement.
feel you. ☝️ I just cykled 12 days, 1065 km, with a very heavy loaded bike in Sweden to visit my sister a few days. I slept in the woods, fought mosquitos, wild camping in bear country etc etc.. These adventures never turns out the way you think it will.
Hellish, cold Canada is absolutely beautiful in early summer. Good thing you didn't completely run out of food and had to ride back on empty. You should have tried jumping to grab your stuck bags hanging on the tree to get it down? It looks like you could have done that and avoided dragging the heavy wooden table back and forth all by yourself. The bridge being down made your bike trip even more crazily epic.
Haha I was worried I might break the bags or rope by doing that so I decided on the table 🤣 and I agree! Canada is gorgeous but the weather doesn’t care about your plans!
Glad to see you back on here. You are so brave doing all this stuff on your own. Aside from the athletic prowess, I’d be afraid of the killer at the campsite. Assuming you made your sister’s graduation👍🏻
I feel like on the one hand this video gets me so pumped for some last autumn rides, but on the other hand I'm stressed for you the whole time!! I think I need to cancel my Shudder account, it's ruining nature for me !
Amazing scenery, love the chill vibe of your videos. Helps work my morning anxiety. Are there apps like farout or komoot that you could check when planning to make sure crossings are working?
Amazing video! I am very impressed! I love the sound track choices and cinematic shots you do. Excellent editing! So brave doing this solo, very athletic and adventurous! Very talented and may I add pretty and and and gorgeous. Very inspiring! Wait what's your nationality? And do you use only one DJI action camera? Thanks for this awesome bideo! You take care now you hear 😋
thanks for taking us with you on your adventure! what camera do you use for all this? im impressed by the footage quality, im sure its not a big camera since you need it to be lightweight for the travel...
Absolutely amazing stunning shot. Hi genna I recommended you visit the himalayan mountains k2 and Nangaparbat view point from one place moses peak. Add this sound in your bucket list. Moses peak is open zone. Situated at my home town Barah Gilgit-Baltistan.
Too bad that bridge was out. I know that can be upsetting when you got a route planned! I really liked your playlist though. Same music I be listening to!
getting serious Windows XP wallpaper vibes from this landscape
I was literally saying that to myself on the first day 😂 I felt like I just entered the screen lmao
So true!!
@@jennalexisko 1:55 literally looks like the wallpaper 😭😭 wtf
@@jennalexisko copyright😊🤗🤭
Came here to say this
inspires me so much to see women taking themselves on adventures like this :^) beautiful vid
The scenery, the riding, the animals, the music and the sounds of nature….. just fxcking everything…. that’s one good adventure
"Everywhere I look looks like a postcard." Thanks for sending us all these postcards

Thank you so much for minimizing the music so we can hear the nature and gravel. Very well done!
300km with crocs on is crazy, nice ride!

He sometimes I forget I’m even wearing it
Thank you so much for uploading your adventures. They really inspire me! This one in particular was otherworldly.
Thanks for the peaceful escape during my lunch break 🙏
Your videos are so peaceful. Thank you!!
Totally joined you for the entire journey. Thank-you for documenting this in your own ways and sharing with the world.
Love your aura Jenna!
Glad to have come across this.
Sending love and respect your way.
Beautiful landscapes! That gravel was thick, even mtb's would have trouble with that. I think your tires are perfectly fine.
Glad it wasn’t just me 😅
I love the visual storytelling paired with comic relief and sone stellar good editing! Great video as always!
Man I really appreciate that!! Worked hard on the editing so it’s very nice to hear, thankyou so much 🙂↕️
Someone has probably already said it, but those little critters are marmots. Thank you for sharing your adventures, they are great and inspiring!
Fantastic Jenna! what amazing views, thank you!
Love your way of storytelling! Awesome video and great ride Jenna!

Exactly! My greatest physical achievements have been from putting myself in a situation I can’t otherwise get out of 🤣
Jenna! Amazing job, I like the way you stayed calm and positive even when you got sidetracked a bit. This makes me want to hit the trails near where I live 🚵🏿♀️
♥️♥️happy trails!
Another Great Vid, Jenna😊! Thank You for sharing Quality content vid! Luv it!!!
Thanks for the adventure! I think you would feel better riding on the fattest knobbies that you can fit on your rims and frame, especially if you're into gravel roads. Cheers!😀
I do plan to get some when I’ve got the extra cash! Not much clearance on my fork but worth a small upgrade I think 😁
You do have some of the Best cycling videos on RUclips! 🙂
Hi Tired! Your at the top baby! Again!! It's all downhill from here, both ways! Thanks for taking us along for your ride. It was fun and scenic. The road less traveled.

wow I think I remember your old vids, so fun to see you doing such cool things :)
@@kimdijkstra2565 🥹 so cool, thanks for this
Im so used to seeing people do this on e-bikes now, huge kudos to you! You're giving me the itch to do the same!
Looks like an awesome ride. Jealous of the scenery. I would really recommend a satellite phone(if you dont already have one) like the garmin inreach mini2 or something like that. Better to have it and not need it.

It looks like an episode of Heartland. Stunning views and I'm looking for Jack to show up on horseback.

You too! Thankyou 😁
I really enjoyed your Banff trip, so glad to see your style is consistent. These are just wonderful to watch.
Love your narrative captions. Poetically framed, and authored. @4:30
I very much appreciate it 🥹
Looks like you were aiming to ride Old Porcupine's Choice Loop. Super bummer that Spray Lakes Sawmills removed the bridge over Cataract creek. Glad you stayed safe.
Yes lol! I believe I found the route from your website actually!! Such a gorgeous route- even with the bridge out it was quite the ride 😁
@@jennalexisko Right on. Happy exploring!
I cant get over how much like a wallpaper this looks. AMAZING!! I kinda wanna do this now. Need a mountain bike
It was gorgeous! And I managed everything on my hybrid/gravel bike hehe
Ahhhhh!!! The legend herself is backkk 🥳🥳🥳 leshgoo ! I’m pulling out the snacks right now
I was just finally about to get a tattoo from you 😭😂 so glad you’re posting again tho❣️ I loved your poetry. Meeting you on some Canada Day years ago felt like I was meeting a celebrity 😫

Love the vids Jenna, you've inspired me to plan my first longer bike packing trip :) going to Iceland!
Ahh that is so exciting, best of luck on your trip! I hope it all goes smoothly
You have such a relaxing style of story telling! I love it. Thanks for sharing. Feeling inspired to go after steeper terrain after seeing those hills you did!
beautiful, beautiful scenery..........jenna keep it coming.
Thankyou! Working on a new video as we speak 😁
You back . My country doesn't have such beautiful cycling routes. Wow, you still wear Corcs shoes while cycling. 😄
Love the content, and appreciate the dedication to film while traveling. Never an easy task!
Great video! There is a lot of variety in gravel. It can take a while to work out the tires. If you are riding locally you can work it out pretty well, but if you are doing a tour things can change a lot with the surface.
Your videos make me miss Canada so much and give me this tingly feeling in my stomach I have when i am out in nature on an adventure. I love it
@@lumberjack2744 Thankyou so much! I hope you get the chance to visit again soon !
Thanks for sharing your adventure. It was wonderful! As a fat bike gravel rider, I was envious of your long stretches of gravel road!
Well Done. It can be brutal on 38's trying to plow through gravel and bigger rocks. Makes for a good workout though. LOL. That was one hell of an achievement.
Hello how are you
I am from Gambia West Africa I am a single I'm looking for someone here
I loooove you. These wild ideas you have are amazing!
Excellent editing and beautiful views, thanks for creating this video x

"why is there a grown man on my arm" was gold
3:13 bikepacking in crocs is crazy
What camera do you use? It looks amazing
Loved this - makes me long to be able to be the kind of person who has these kinds of adventures ☺️💕
Thanks a lot Jenna for sharing us your adventures 🔥🙏, on this beautifull nature, your country 🤩. Which camera do you use , GoPro ? Thanks
Thanks for watching! And I use the osmo action 3 from Dji
@@jennalexisko Thank you 🙏👍. Very Good quality with the osmo 🤩
Amazing scenery, love the chill vibe of your videos. Helps work my morning anxiety.
Are there apps like farout or komoot that you could check when planning to make sure crossings are working?
Thankyou! I haven’t heard of those, I will definitely check them out though :)
I love your videos, I have just started bikepacking and I am hooked😄
Thankyou 🥹 and YAY cheers to all your future adventures 🎉🎉
