Congrats! Glad to see you were able to make it through the Helene remnants relatively unscathed. I hope you'll continue creating new content after this adventure.
🇬🇧Thank you for sharing this wonderful journey, I have enjoyed your videos so very much, it was lovely to see Ash & Becky finishing the journey with you, huge congratulations to you & I will continue to follow you on this wonderful channel,kind regards from Ashley’s Mum in the UK XXXXX
Congratulations! Your videos brought back many memories of places and bad weather from my TransAm tours! One of my TransAm tours, I had over a week of solid rain through KY and VA. Definitely puts a damper on things. No pun intended.😃
Very awesome. This series is special to me because you started when I lived in Oregon, and finished after I moved back to my home state. I passed you up while you were in Kansas yet.
Well done. An epic ride and a great video record. Remember, there's no such thing as a tailwind. There's a headwind and there's 'my God my legs are feeling good today'.
I met your friends in Southern Illinois. I was hosting a community bike ride and one rider showed up. I saw them two and encouraged them to check out the tunnel on Tunnel Hill Trail. Fun to see them in your video!
Congratulations, well done on making a fantastic record of an amazing journey, we've enjoyed following your progress across the States and it's been a great insight to the ups and downs you and your new found friends have enjoyed and endured throughout the trip. We particularly loved the bits with Becky and Ash, mind you we are biased. All the best in the future, may you continue with your great adventures. Ant & Kari (Becky's Mum and Dad) 🎉🎉❤
Congrats on completing your amazing journey 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thanks for your time and efforts in sharing this adventure with us all!!! Looking forward to your wrap up videos. I wish you all the best in acclimatizing to "civi' life🤨🫨😉 All the Best in your future endeavors. It has been an absolute pleasure to watch all of your experiences during this trip. Very inspirational, definitely something that I have planned in the coming years!!!! ✌🏼, Rob
I live in Roanoke VA, sorry you had to ride through this part of VA in some f the worst weather we’ve had in a long time. Great videos! Thanks for sharing!
I rode my Nishiki from east to west in 1981 and I remember Verginia being the toughest to ride. With 52/39 X 14/28 even as a 25 year old I had to walk a lot of those hills. The moist heat didn't make it any better. But it was the trip of a lifetime, although many similar trips came after that one.
Congrats on making it all the way from coast to coast. What a terrific feat, wow. I'm so glad that I was fortunate to meet you along your route at while camped at Buckhorn COE in KY.
Wonderful! It’s an amazing country filled with amazing, kind people! I was lost for several days after I finished my rides…kinda just stayed home! Congratulations!
Congratulations on your epic ride. I loved all of the videos & your never ending positive attitude & commentary along the way. Thanks so much for sharing your journey. What are the top 3 things you discovered during you trip?
Congratulations and welcome back to the real world! I really enjoyed the videos, especially the drone shots since I did the same route in 1984. It was very interesting to how things have changed. We did not have the rumble strips, but had fewer bike trails. Sounds like the dogs in Kentucky have not changed! Thanks again for bringing back the memories.
Great videos, I've really enjoyed watching your journey. It inspires me to try something like this at some point! I live in Newton, KS so you drove pretty close by to my house. Do you have any plans/ideas for your next big adventure?
Congratulations! I am going to miss the weekly videos... Can't you ride back a different route? ;) I am looking forward to the gear video. A breakdown on the cost would be cool. I am planning a San Francisco to New York ride next summer and I am hovering up all the information I can.
Hey, I hope you are doing well and adjusting to life off the bike! I hope you will, at some point, do a gear list and final thoughts video. Included in that I am particularly interested in hearing about how much this journey cost you. I hope that this message finds you well. All the Best, Rob
I'll miss your weekly trip updates but will look forward to your next uploads. I got into road biking when I lived in Kentucky, but have been in Colorado for the past twelve years. My friends always talked about run-ins with dogs, but interestingly in all my years biking there I never had an issue. You seemed to have a fondness for the eastern states. Did any state stand out to you as a favorite?
For your post ride video: what gear you didn't use, gear that was essential, gear you wish you had. Cost of trip [hotels, food, misc...] Problems finding camp spots? Dogs? How much bike maintenance ?
Hi. Been following the journey. Very inspirational for my own cycling and plans. Video work is also really good. I am wondering if you have an idea of your weight of your bike and panniers etc. total weight? I am planning a big ride similar and think I’m overpacking and was wondering what you carry. Cheers.

Wonderfull
Really enjoyed following your journey. Would it be possible to post a kit list video at some point please.
Good thing you got out of Damascus when you did, that section of 58 you rode leaving Damascus got totally washed away.........there's no road left!
I know, such a close call. Felt like I was just outrunning flood zones for a few days there.
Been checking for the next video and looking forward to watching it!
Thank you for sharing this adventure with us. I hope in a couple of years to be another Portlander to do this trip.
Seems to be a real portlander thing to do! Hope you do - very worthwhile.
I may have missed it, but I didn't see how many days you was out. When you started, when you finished. Thanks, been a fun watch
Started July 13 - Finished Oct. 6th.
Congratulations! Thanks for taking us along on the long and winding road. Happy trails.

Thanks for sharing your adventure. It’s always a let down/mix of feelings when you reach a big ending like this. Best of luck to you

I was wondering if the hurricane was going to impact your finish and it seems like you got through by the skin of your teeth.
Thanks for sharing!
