That looked so wholesome. Really makes me wish there were more events like this around here. Even the "party pace" events are full of fast gravel grinders that are already on their 2nd beer by the time we get to the end...
Good seeing those people and their bikes! I miss the Seattle bike scene. Rosemary used to live in my neighborhood. Machiko and Alder are such a cool bike family. I didn't even know RJ was into bikes.
Super cool! I'm not really into events and just generally prefer riding alone, but so cool to see all the smiling faces and their set-ups. What a cool atmosphere too!! Not at all bro-y the way some race events tend to be.
So grateful for this channel Russ! Great to know about these events & sharing everybody's spoked partners, a real treat, and so informative ☺☺ I know PLP is well regarded and cherished- Easy to imagine 1,000,000 subscribers sooner than later !
Love how you cut this Russ - it reminds me of some of those virtual showroom videos that companies like Chris King put on during the pandemic. Very pretty and lovely.
I like how Annie oriented her Aeroe bags. I have the same set up but run my bags horizontally instead of upright. I ams going to try setting it her that way when I ride this weekend.
Nice to see you and Laura taking another look at this event. I am surprised at lack of fenders across these given every time I have watched vblogs on this PNW event, the consistent rain that week. My desert fan boy bias showing. And well done on showing the supple eye candy and interviews.
Loved this one Russ! So many cool people with their cool bikes, out there giving it a go. Can’t even pick a favourite, I will have to rewatch it. Interesting that there was hardly any bikes from mega brands (I suppose Salsa and Kona ARE major brands for bikepacking)
terrific video, seems like a group of relaxed people. nice ideas in the bikes as well! but what I really like is the fact that so many seem to be in their 50s! Me turning 40 soon like the prospect of riding with people in 15 years time!
Great video, Russ & Laura. Always interesting to see how others set up their bikes. The number of times you think - oh why didn't think of that - make them worth the watching just for the ideas alone, ley alone the interesting people.
The Tailfin rack is so good. PRICEY but worth it. I've the the trunk bag vice the aero pack like the one in the video, but it's soooooo good, no sway, doesn't get in the way on my MTB bike with a dropper and fits on my gravel bike as well without tools.
@@PathLessPedaledTV I'd love to learn more about the process Tori went through with Waltly to get his bike from CAD to a rideable bike. Please do a video on that 🙂
Were most people carrying tents? I'm always amazed at what little people were carrying when it came to the size of the bags. I did a tour this summer and would need a minimum of 35L in bags to bring everything. 55L was my comfortable way of bringing tent, pad, sleeping bag and some extra clothes and cooking gear. But maybe I need a smaller tent for these kinds of trips. EDIT: Oh, participants get one small bag that gets transported to the next camp. That makes things easier. You can just have your sleeping kit and tent be transported to the next camp.
i rode it last year on 700x35. Not recommended, but that's all i had. It was not optimal on washboard and on the Babyheads Hell Climb, but i survived the worst bits, and had just as much fun overall as everyone else. :-)
Nice - bikepacking bike porn. That Aeroe rack is intriguing. Perhaps a future test? Enjoy the Overlander!

Just a note for all you people over the pond: Flashing lights aren't really that good if you want to be seen and "mentally located", solid light on the front and solid red at the back are the best things to have.

I love her!
Russ, this was arguably the coolest video you've ever posted. More of these if you get the opportunity, please!
That looked so wholesome. Really makes me wish there were more events like this around here. Even the "party pace" events are full of fast gravel grinders that are already on their 2nd beer by the time we get to the end...
Clearly you should also be on your second beer by the time you get to the end!
lol
This is testament to the maxim that there's more than one way to get the job done. So many good ideas here! Thanks for the vid Russ 👍🏻
watching other people's kit and bikes is probably my favorite thing to do when I'm not riding. So many great setup in that video

You did a survey a bit ago. Just be you, that's what the channel needs, Great video!
Love how you cut this Russ - it reminds me of some of those virtual showroom videos that companies like Chris King put on during the pandemic. Very pretty and lovely.
One of your best! This video reflects the values of your channel. Sure to put a smile 😊 on many viewers faces!
I like how Annie oriented her Aeroe bags. I have the same set up but run my bags horizontally instead of upright. I ams going to try setting it her that way when I ride this weekend.
More content like this! Great video. Bike/rider introductions at events lime this should become regular content.
Awesome to see my friend Machiko and her Rodriguez!
Really enjoyed watching the riders introduce their bikes and kit. Nothing mundane as a trek or Specialized just exotica Ti bikes and one offs. Nice.
More video's like this please, amazing to see all these amazing people
Super fun vid Russ! Love seeing all the permutations. Bikes as different as their owners!
Great seeing all the different bikes and how everybody was carrying their gear.
Awesome video, loved to see all these people talking about their bikes and how they choose to strap stuff to them!
Nice to see you and Laura taking another look at this event. I am surprised at lack of fenders across these given every time I have watched vblogs on this PNW event, the consistent rain that week. My desert fan boy bias showing. And well done on showing the supple eye candy and interviews.
Fenders make sense if you have some control but honestly, if it's a long ride and you'll be around mud, you're getting muddy with or without fenders.
Great to see so many new people in the mix and we definitely need more events like this. Russ, why isn't there a Party Pace event yet!!?
Love seeing what other people are riding and the modifications they have made to their bikes.
I absolutely love my Hog’s back, pleasant surprise to see one in this video!
Me too ! I have the same color also
I was tempted to grab one but shipping here to Oz was too difficult. I ended up with a stooge rambler, they have a similar biplane fork
Loved this one Russ! So many cool people with their cool bikes, out there giving it a go. Can’t even pick a favourite, I will have to rewatch it. Interesting that there was hardly any bikes from mega brands (I suppose Salsa and Kona ARE major brands for bikepacking)
Thanks, Russ! Nice looking assortment of bikes.
Single speed is really bold!! Great vid all around👍
lol i was listening to this and 100% thought that woman had an actual chicken
She was awesome. Lol. Emotional support chicken.
terrific video, seems like a group of relaxed people. nice ideas in the bikes as well!
but what I really like is the fact that so many seem to be in their 50s! Me turning 40 soon like the prospect of riding with people in 15 years time!
I'm turning 65 next month and I'm just now planning to get into gravel riding and bikepacking after many years of road riding.
@@jfspurlin1 Oh man, great to read! Inspiring!
Best video I’ve seen Bikepacking related in a while! Love the presentation from the owners
Thanks! I love this! I have been using an Absolute Black oval chainring for years and will never go back.
Great video, Russ & Laura. Always interesting to see how others set up their bikes. The number of times you think - oh why didn't think of that - make them worth the watching just for the ideas alone, ley alone the interesting people.
Love this. Really cool to see the variety in not only equipment but riders themselves! Newer to the sport so hoping to get in on events like these 🤙
Goodluck guys! Love to see your wonderful bikes!
Throughly enjoyed this video! Good to see Laura!
Russ, Great video. Loved the interviewing format.
Thanks for this! Since the first time I saw it I was interested in that very first black step through. Such a nice bike!
Great interviews,great people,great channel 👍
I like seeing the variety of builds and bags. It's great to see what the average bike enthusiast is riding instead of... ...oh you know the rest.
Great video Russ! Such great vibes.
Looks like a cool event, interesting seeing all the different bike setups.
Nice NFE, Jason! Triple love.
Go Road Holes! Love Machiko and Alders’s bikes!
love nerding on everyone's bike....
Very cool event! Thanks for sharing
Thanks Russ, that was great!
Loved the overview on setups. Great event.
I love the variety. It just goes to show there isn't one "right" bike or one perfect way to pack. Each setup is unique, just like the riders.
Would love to see more videos like this format looking at everyone's take on the rig that works for them...thanks for sharing!
The Tailfin rack is so good. PRICEY but worth it. I've the the trunk bag vice the aero pack like the one in the video, but it's soooooo good, no sway, doesn't get in the way on my MTB bike with a dropper and fits on my gravel bike as well without tools.
Such a smorgasbord of bikes and setups, thanks for posting.
Ooooh yes. More like this please PLP
Liked the interviews. Would like to hear more about the riders. Why are they riding this event? What do like about this event?
That looks like SO MUCH fun!
Really Good Bikes and People 👌🏼🤙🏼 Goodluck riders!
Totally cool! Thanks
Love it! What a vibe.
Great vid Russ! Thank you!
Sweet! All Around great rigs and cool people. This is my favorite Path Less Pedaled post to date! More of this please!
That knife at 2:54 is so cool! Who makes it? I can't reed the name on the side.
Gerber i think.
Anyone have idea how I can find these types of casual raids in Europe?
Alder "I cracked my Rodriguez too many times" Wow. Scrawny boy must be a beast on the trail."
He absolutely destroys bikes.
I abolutely love this video!
Thanks bloke, great vid 👌
Cool bikers and bikes!
That looks cool .
Excellent nerding
At the 12 minute-ish mark- How was Tori’s Ti bike designed? Bike CAD? didn’t catch the name
Bike Cad.
@@PathLessPedaledTV I'd love to learn more about the process Tori went through with Waltly to get his bike from CAD to a rideable bike. Please do a video on that 🙂
Yay, Bike Iowa!
So un-racing! Love it.

I love Steve the support animal!
Like that aeroe rack!
Just seen price.😢
Hahaha amazing bike. Amazing people. I like that 😍
Love it!
Can you do this with 700 x 40 tires? nice bikes!!
i rode it last year on 700x35. Not recommended, but that's all i had. It was not optimal on washboard and on the Babyheads Hell Climb, but i survived the worst bits, and had just as much fun overall as everyone else. :-)
where did Tori design and order his ti bike? bike ked?
BikeCAD
What does "keep the supple side down" mean?
It’s a pun on keep the rubber side down.
In other words -- try not to crash too often.
I am a sucker for a bike check video
Does anybody thine we will see a return to rear racks and panniers as dropper posts become more popular?
Nice - bikepacking bike porn. That Aeroe rack is intriguing. Perhaps a future test? Enjoy the Overlander!
