Love the sheep and donkey!
What an added bonus to see them up close! I thought it was so funny having them in our camp.
Looks sooo fun. Maybe I should start biking 😊
It’s such a great activity! So many ways to have fun biking; rail trails, dirt trails, or other bike trails, it’s a fun way to adventure outdoors.
Amazing you have all you need packed on that bike! If my horse could keep up w you I'd join you:)
Omg. That would be a blast!!!
Thanks for your video! It brings back memories...
I got a job offer in Traverse City in 1990 and looking for a change from Tucson,, I jumped at hthe opportunity to experience life n the north woods. I absolutely fell in love with the cycling opportunities in Northen Mi. I rode and toured all over that part of the state; even raced mountain bikes for a few years. Moved back to Tucson in '99 to care for my aging parents, and life sorta got in the way with opportunities for work.
Now I'm retired, and hopefully will be able to do some more touring in Michigan; this year is RAGBRAI!
I do miss Michigan.
Have a blast at RAGBRAI!
Just getting into bike touring and bike packing and love the idea of this route. Also, very helpful seeing what you are packing and how. Thanks so much. -H
Glad it was helpful!

Hi , new subscriber here . Awesome setup 😃. I'm a fat bike guy , currently logging in at over 3k on my rig. One thing I'd like to add is I swear by Tannus Armor , I installed them day one & I have hit some gnarly trails. Winter & summer I roll . Not one single flat yet ! I failed to mention I'm a 61 year old guy at 6' 250 lbs. So I'm no lightweight. I ride daily . Used to ride 200 + miles a week . But I've since toned it down a tad 😅. I'm going to roll through your video series . Thank you for allowing us to tag along . Be safe out there 🙏.
Hi fellow fatty! Here in my woods I wouldn’t run tires less than 3”. SAND. I love my fatty, only bike I ride. I switch to 5’s for winter biking. Although I switched to 3.25’s it’s still kinda fat😆 thanks for watching and I’m always trying to keep safe 🙂
You are amazing.
This was great! I'm going to do this route.
Have a great time! I’m so glad my video was inspiring! I plan to complete section 4 and 5 soon!
Looks like a fun route!!
It was! Matt did an excellent job putting it together for Michigan!
Your tent looks quick and easy to put up.
It is! Which is especially nice when it’s raining.
Super steep hills😮
Some were not too fun pushing my loaded bike up!
Thanks! I believe it is
pronounced “pa-N-ear”
I would like to know what kind of handlebars you have on your bike
Thanks
Hi! I use Jones H Bar set up. Has been a nice change for my wrists and hands!
What time of year did you ride this; the weather was perfect? I live in hot humid SW Missouri. I was also wondering about mosquitoes.
We rode this route May 27-31
We had a little rain. Surprising the bugs weren’t bad, even at dispersed spot. The tent worms though!! That was another story. Riding through the woods felt like riding through a never ending spider web 😣
The mosquito situation is here now though. Glad we went when it was a little cooler at nights.
Thanks for watching🙂
you were camping in bear country
@@grafzepplin5944 I feel like all the Manistee forest is bear country. I’ve seen 5 so far over the years while on adventures here in my area. I am always aware, alert, respectful and prepared. The closest encounter this summer was on a hike along the Manistee river on the NCT. Momma and 4 cubs. She already had the cubs up the tree and quickly joined them as we walked slowly away.
Thanks for watching!
@@KamieOutdoors atta girl!

That’s a great link! Matt did an exceptional route for bikepacking enthusiasts that want mostly off road. My friend and I enjoyed sections 2&3 so much! And I hope to do 4&5 soon. He really deserves a lot of thanks for all his hard work on this.
