My Full Experience Bikepacking The GDMBR

The Outdoorsman in me says YES! Nicely done...peace

10 minute's and i am thinking what a strange dude. Byt he bring happiness to be peoples hearts. Stay strange, my friend

Amazing video.

just finished the complete colorado trail series including the complete recap, now going to watch this one :D

I’m planning a southbound trip for summer 2024 (largely inspired by RVD’s videos) and would love to find a riding partner or two, especially through grizzly country. Any advice on where to network to find such partners? I’m a 35 y/o male in good not great shape, looking for probably around 80 miles/day with some longer days where the terrain is favorable. Mostly camping with the odd motel day to refresh. If anyone reading this is interested, let me know!

Hey Ryan, thanks for this awesome video! How was the road traffic and did you ever feel unsafe with cars?

This is an awesome vid! I hope that someday I can bike the GDMBR too, much love from Norway!

One of the more relaxing videos I’ve ever watched. Good vibes throughout

I have a long time friend that has ridden this trail through completion twice. 😊❤

Thanks you too, because I see most part of beautiful off road bike packing. Which is not adopted for me which is my dream also as a bike packing lovers too, but it's limited only

Don’t know if someone mentioned it, but bells on your bike scare deer and bears away.

Nice adventure. Greetings from Ecuador. Just A question. To make that trip do you suggest to use rin 26'' or 29er?

Amazing video. I was curious about what gear you brought with you on a daily basis. It looked like you hardly had anything on your bike.

This is insane!

Inspirational

These are the coolest videos!! Awesome channel!!

Thanks for the video and review of the lesson.
I definitely will give it a try to get more confidence in my riding👍
Besides, I want to try that trail and those jumps.

we loved watching this with our kids! Thanks for the Family Friendly content! "Mommy I want a pedal bike!" When that voice says you can't It's helpful to say you can out loud. Perfect Movie!

I always like to ride through bear country with another cyclist who is slower than me.

Ryan

Thank you for keeping me motivated. After multiple eye surgeries with severe dry eye syndrome. I took delivery of Bowflex C6 spin bike set up in my home. I’ll ride as I watch all your videos. I waiting to be fitted with Scleral contact lenses. Hopefully this will get me back on my Jones Bike and my local county back roads again.

What kind of bike and the gearing system?

Tour Unite longer

Thanks for the real experience of peace and quiet the way it is all the time. One of the best i have watched. SJ

such an awesome adventure and video. Mira is such a fantastic companion on adventure trips like this. Had to watch the video completely in one viewing.

Wow, you're a beast...Going over all those passes, at those elevations, that's tough stuff...Although, I was sad when Mira and her human, broke off, dogs really make everything better..Beautiful scenery...

I want you to do this entire trail again please, from the northern terminus, now that the pandie is over. this is your best stuff.

Thanks a lot for sharing this. It's the first Divide video I've seen centered around something other than the race aspect of it. I enjoyed it, and it made me think about possibly doing it. Your attitude along the way also reflected the joy of the journey more than the destination.

How do yalls do these cycling and travel? Im wondering, ive always wanted to do these types of things.

Would love to hear more about equipment, prep, etc..

So fun to watch! Don’t know how you do it! Drone , filming, editing, etc. crazy, thank you for all the hard work and time you put into this video!

What bike brands are you guys riding? Thanks.

Amazing video - thank you - it really showed the majesty of creation in our country. 🌄🚴🏞️🇺🇲🏜️

This is so cool. I wish to do something like this some day

Hey Ryan, could you pass on the info about Mira: those strap across the chest style harnesses are now proven to cause shoulder joint damage! A T-shaped harness is much better, especially when a dog is pulling in it 👌🏻👊🏻

Unreal video loved it my wife doesn’t even cycle but I’m a 24/7 cyclist don’t stop talking about cycling cyclist and even she loved it…thank you so much for sharing this brilliant journey

I do love the Montana scenery, I'm managing a resort in Essex right now. I'm glad you didn't run into any Grizz... I don't take bear spray on my morning runs... but defiantly aim for the feet.

That's not the proper food to be eating on a trip like this. If you were burning ketones, you'd be blowing it up. When I went from San Francisco to NYC I ate a lot of garbage along the way, I paid for it recovering from the trip. Sugars, carbs, table salt etc., is your enemy. It slowly shuts down your organs. The tap water in America will kill you alone. I've been switching it up to Europe the last 4 years, a lot more healthy food. The Energy difference is night and day.

Would the Trek 520 be ok on a trip like this?

what's the average speed of travel?

Thanks!

Hope you have bear spray on these trips. I never go into bear country without it.

Superb video.

This video popped up randomly after a GMBN review on a cheap Amazon brand mountain bike, and I’m so glad it did!
Next thing you know, I’m spending 2 hours watching some rando ride his bike along the CD.

GREAT video! Love the content and I must say, Mira is the absolute star of the show. I’d love an update on her and John.
Otherwise, this is so inspiring and beautiful to get out there and push yourself to try something new and uncomfortable.
A++

Okay, I have to ask, I watch a lot of Base Camp Chris and I wondered have you seen or thought you might have had a run-in with a Big Foot?

Nice trip and video. It was sad seeing Mira leave and seeing her run around.

Wow the last shot made it look like a Mission Possible theme song. LoL undercover Amit

Bikepacking with your dog is a dream.

this has been added to my bucket list

This was awesome. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to exploring your channel
