Wow, that was a wonderful segment! Beautiful scenery as I sit here in my N. Florida patio 😁! What a great experience for those young men! Hey Stan, congratulations on your 5th CT hike completion, Woohooo!
What a wonderful segment. Good to see young men getting out for an adventure. Kudos to there parents for letting them go. Beautiful country. Take care, Al
I liked this video at 1:13 when you said "we are in their territory" about bears. Thank you for your fun, inspiring, thoughtful, enlightened and pro-environment videos, Ryan. You are a joy to watch.
Now THAT is a camping spot! Love your meeting with the guys. When I was finishing high school, I hiked the Appalachian Trail through Shenandoah National Park with a friend. It was my first big adventure, and more years ago than I would ever want to acknowledge. Seeing myself so many years ago in those guys with their excitement and sense of adventure was awesome and so nostalgic. I had many more adventures over the next decade or so after that, but life got in the way. I'm getting close to retirement now and trying to get back into those little adventures, albeit less challenging. I am not even close to being in the physical condition necessary to tackle anything quite so difficult as the Colorado Trail, as much as I wish I was. And perhaps at my age, I never will be again. But one doesn't need to have high elevation and massive vertical feet to have adventure. You've inspired me. So much so that, for the past few years, I have taken to riding my bike to commute to work. I'm at work now in fact... don't tell anyone! Rode 12 miles to get here. Even that little commute is a daily little adventure in itself. Rain, Sunshine, Wind, Cloudy Days, always different, and always relaxing. Moral of the story? Get out there. And it doesn't have to be the Colorado Trail or a cross country trip. It can even be a daily commute to work! Love your videos. Keep them coming!
I want to thank you. These rides that some people, (for whatever reason) can’t do, will be enjoyed through you, and it is really a cool thing. The way you present the different angles and the views is amazing. I am so happy God created such a beautiful planet for us to enjoy. Thanks again for doing this for us. 👍😊
Truly amazing. I’m riding across North Carolina to bring in the last few days of my 30’s. Colorado Trail is on the bucket list. Rode the TransVirginia Route in June. I’m addicted and your videos and adventures are feeding the addiction. Thank you.
I just have to say I love that part about the bear and that we are the ones intruding. That is the best piece of advice you can give any hiker biker or just outdoorsy person.
Wow totally epic that a bunch of 17 year olds are conquering that together! So so amazing to have the maturity, knowledge, strength, and desire at that age! And from NYC? Wow so cool!
Stan is awesom. I do not know anybody who drives al lorry or truck for living who gave cycling a chance and its so cool that he started hiking to stay alive and fit!
I have to say it's so great to see younger people actually pick up the joy of being active. Personally I've always been active, but I'm almost more active now being 40 years old, and to me it's just something I would never change for anything. Right now my bike is just dead weight because my brakes are shot, so have to wait for some new one's and so on, but I still got my legs and some shoes.
Make every day count, do what you really want to do, everyday, everyday, everyday. This is some dirty I heard years ago. I believe that life can be an adventure even in the little things in life like taking a short road trip or planning your day even at home. I am 74 years old and went through a bout of cancer over the last 2 years but I am getting well and plan to walk the Appalation trail for the American Cancer Foundation. I watched a family of 8 do just that and I told myself that if they can do it, so can I. That family's vlog is To The Treeline, with Ben Crawford and Family. Their main vlog is Fight for together. Keep on keeping on and just be you cause you are a positive messenger in showing people how to REALLY LIVE THEIR LIVES EVERYDAY. God bless you Ryan.
First of all, the Stage Stop! I owned property about 5 miles from there and lived in the area for 15 years. I could tell you stories about what all went on in that place, lol :) The Hayman fire; it was so tragic and it's a testament to how long it takes a forest to grow back. I drive down 67 fairly frequently to get in some hiking. My favorite state park so far is Mueller (haven't visited every state park yet but plan on it!). If you haven't biked or hiked there yet Ryan, I highly recommend it! Really enjoyed this episode as I'm familiar with the areas you biked thru and it brought back some good memories!
I never comment on UA-cam videos, but had to here! I just completed the CT this year, I had done segments 1 through 13 in 2020 and then I did the remainder here in 2021 and just finished a couple weeks ago. My girlfriend was prepping to do some segment backpacking of the CT and took a little exploratory trip into Lost Creek about a month ago. I was just watching your Lost Creek detour video, and was making some lunch at the same time and just happened to glance over when you were talking to Stan, well my girlfriends car is in the background when you were talking to him!!!! I called her into the room and said oh my God do you recognize that! Ghetto bike rack winch strapped to the top of a cheap car rack I had bought from Walmart so that she could transport my bike and myself out to drop me off since I recently sold my truck! Her little tiny car!! We were dying laughing. I love your videos I was watching them prior to when I got onto the CT in 2020 as I had no experience with bike packing. I found the CT to be incredibly beautiful and incredibly hard. When you referenced 9/10 on difficulty I can completely agree. Five times throughout my journey for instance, I strapped my bike to my backpack and just carried it up the steepest of the hills.I liked watching your video when you were leaving Wellington Lake I specifically recall that very hill, and when you were riding on Matakat Road, I absolutely love it up there I think it’s one of the prettiest sections of the CT in fact, But I really like rocks so I might be a little biased when I can see them. I’m putting together a video from my experience as well. Thanks for all the content that you share!
Another classic Duzer video full of excellent story telling, shooting, and editing. Oh, and you even read Isabella Bird's writing. What a woman! Believed to be the first woman to climb Longs. She held her own around tough as nails mountain men. Lived in Estes Park when it truly was a "park", as high mountain meadows were called way back then. Ryan, you should read "A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains". Great read. May make you think you were born way too late! Stay safe always, man. All of us love your stuff. :-)
That was so cool those high school guys were doing a bikepacking trip and you got to hang out together. I wish bike racing could become a high school sport in America. I don't have any grandkids, but I would totally support that in my community.
Heck yeah Stan is interesting! I wish he had a channel. Colorado Trail five times? I'm still hoping to do it once, either on-foot, on-bike, or a combo. I want to hear more from Stan!
A great video Ryan; beautiful country, a very nice way to spend my Monday morning. Great to see young people getting out there and enjoying life rather than couch surfing the TV (as I’m doing right now watching this). I always love your interactions along the trail as they bring a real world perspective to everyone’s motivational journey in life. Great to see you thinking about your Mum along the way 😊🚴♀️
You know the sound I love when your on your bike doing a bike trip, is the sound of gravel underneath your bike tyres, when riding . The other sound is silence. 🇺🇸❤️🙏🏴
Great video Ryan, I look forward to seeing the rest of the trip! Your videos give me so much inspiration to get out there! I'm making a comeback for multiple sclerosis I haven't done a bike trip in about nineteen years and I'm planning on riding the Pacific coast, Astoria or. To ventura ca. Next summer!! I believe being an avid cyclist my whole life has helped me or actually has been the key to beating MS!!! KEEP ON KEEPEN ON!!!!!
My wife and I rode the trail in 95, there was an active gravel pit operation outside Lost Creek Wilderness that forced a diversion where we got lost for a bit. We walked and pushed the bikes up some horrendous single track and rode out Waterton Canyon, rode up thru Denver to Ft. Collins, up Poudre Canyon and spent the next 4 months riding around the West. One of the best years of our lives. My wife still rides her 1993 Rockhopper from that trip. She’ll never upgrade or sell it. And the great thing, we never saw one fire that whole time. Now, how could you randomly do a trip like that without getting smoked out at some point? The West is on fire most of the year. Sad beyond words.
So great to watch these installments, Ryan! I recognize all these landmarks, so cool! Unfortunately the stage stop was closed when I rode through about a month ago. Coulda used that pizza! I’m going to do the rest of the ride starting at section 6/Georgia pass this Friday the 13th! Hopefully the smoke isn’t getting too bad for you.
Your presents makes my heart happy. I have really considered saving and never buying a car just by watching your videos. Hope I can make to America one day. Thank you!
Been watching your videos for some time now and they keep getting better with your drone footage, gravel tire sounds and great interviews with the characters on the trail. How do you find the time and resources to do all this editing in post? Great work. BTW - I rode the trail 2 years ago and I got a chuckle at 19:25 when you said you were going to ride 8,000 -10,000 feet of elevation a day and get used to it. Ha ha good luck.
I wish I could have learn how to ride a bike. I’m 65, I want to learn how to ride like you but maybe on a short flat area and do have an Suggestion for this old gal. Enjoy watching your videos and would like to thank you for staying with the Navajo family on your trip through the Navajo nation 😎👍🏼💨🚴.
Thoroughly enjoyable video (both the cinematography and the commentary) and some really nice flowy single track. Even the bits on the dirt roads looked fun and the views were spectacular. Maybe it’s time I hang up the hiking boots and get on my bike …
I biked the CT last summer and it was a transformational experience! These shots are bringing back some great (and some tough) memories. Looking forward to seeing how your trip goes over the next few episodes!
A month later while talking about the trail experience with their parents: “Yea we met up with this cool old guy and camped out together.” Rebuilding a Gary Fisher mb for a friend. Sturdy frame design and exceptional components. Too small for me so I can’t acquire it. 😊 So, let that be lesson, never cheap out on bikes, or allow someone your size to fix them!
Really enjoying this outing , and excellent footage which sadly brought home the aftermath of a massive wildfire way back in 2002 which burned an area encompassed by more than 138,000 acres. In total, 600 structures were lost (133 residences, one commercial building, and 466 outbuildings), causing more than $42 million in housing losses. A total of 5,340 people were forced to evacuate; at one time, 14,000 were told to stand by for evacuation.
Any bike rides I do that are over 50 miles, I reward myself with a mile swim and a 1/2 hour butt soaking in the jacuzzi. would like to post my rides on youtube but my gopro only lasts about 2 hours and the battery dies so I just take pics and post them on facebook. Love your videos of places that I won't be able to visit and makes me want to bike where I can so I do that. NO CRASHIES, NO WHAMMIES AND NO FLATTIES!!!
Wow! Ryan, I must come to Colorado and do that trail. I'm sure that those other North Carolina boys are able to acclimate more quickly than a 54 year old grandfather like me. But if I can wrangle the time I do have that buddy in Durango to help me with logistics and such. I'll bet he would even come along.
One of your best, stunning scenery, great music, stellar editing. You really conveyed a deep sense of being in solitude and in tune with yourself and your surroundings.
Absolutely stunning video shots! I'm hoping/planning to run segments 1-3 (41ish miles) as a final end of summer/pre-winter season trail run. What I didn't realize until I watched your video was how close Wellington Lake is to the end of Segment 3. Anyways, great video! Can't wait to watch Episode 3.
Well done Ryan, Stan the man truck driver was actually an interesting guy and the congrats to those young kids for having the adventurous spirit, best wishes to them, keep these interesting videos coming 👌👍
How bout Stan the truck driver? And those high school kids?? Stay tuned for more as I continue to meet awesome people on the Colorado Trail
Yes very awesome 😎
Love seeing all the people you meet. What a great experience for those boys!!
Wow, that was a wonderful segment! Beautiful scenery as I sit here in my N. Florida patio 😁! What a great experience for those young men! Hey Stan, congratulations on your 5th CT hike completion, Woohooo!
Give the kids credit, that looks like alot to take on
Love the Stan story, and the track at 8:12 Would love to know the name if you would share :)
This is how life should be lived!
I love that when you talk about bear spray you’re standing in front of a tree marked by a bear.
Running into Ryan during an adventure is like putting the cherry on top of the banana split.
What a wonderful segment. Good to see young men getting out for an adventure. Kudos to there parents for letting them go.
Beautiful country. Take care, Al
I liked this video at 1:13 when you said "we are in their territory" about bears. Thank you for your fun, inspiring, thoughtful, enlightened and pro-environment videos, Ryan. You are a joy to watch.
I appreciate your kind words, I love making these videos

Love reading this man!!Thanks for sharing!!
It's great seeing those young guys embracing nature, exercising, and seeing that they're fit.
Love my sunday mornings watching Ryan on epic adventures. Your positivity is such a wonderful way to start my day!! 🙏🏼
well said.... find myself eagerly waiting for his notification on my phone
Most videos fail to translate the actual beauty of the outdoors. Yours, however, come surprisingly close to the real thing. Good job!
I was just going to post the same thing. His videos have a special quality to them that most don't. Hope he has a spare belt drive with him.
Absolutely agree with you.
I want to thank you. These rides that some people, (for whatever reason) can’t do, will be enjoyed through you, and it is really a cool thing. The way you present the different angles and the views is amazing. I am so happy God created such a beautiful planet for us to enjoy. Thanks again for doing this for us. 👍😊
Hats off to those high schoolers. Real young folks.
I was so impressed with them
Truly amazing. I’m riding across North Carolina to bring in the last few days of my 30’s. Colorado Trail is on the bucket list. Rode the TransVirginia Route in June. I’m addicted and your videos and adventures are feeding the addiction. Thank you.
What route are you taking in NC? I recently rode from Raleigh to Virginia Beach
@@David-mj3bj I’m doing a modified version of the Appalachian Gravel Growler. A brewery tour of WNC. I modified it to end in Abingdon VA
Wow! That's really cool seeing the next generation 17 year Olds enjoying trail bicycling!
I just have to say I love that part about the bear and that we are the ones intruding. That is the best piece of advice you can give any hiker biker or just outdoorsy person.
The best part of the day is who you made smile 😘
Always!
Wow totally epic that a bunch of 17 year olds are conquering that together! So so amazing to have the maturity, knowledge, strength, and desire at that age! And from NYC? Wow so cool!
Be safe Ryan. You are mighty inspiring.
Stan is awesom. I do not know anybody who drives al lorry or truck for living who gave cycling a chance and its so cool that he started hiking to stay alive and fit!
Ryan, as always your videography, storytelling, and adventure sharing is second to none! Keep up the great work you do, thank you!
It's great to see young people doing these adventures.
Nowadays around here I see mostly older people on e-bikes
I have to say it's so great to see younger people actually pick up the joy of being active. Personally I've always been active, but I'm almost more active now being 40 years old, and to me it's just something I would never change for anything. Right now my bike is just dead weight because my brakes are shot, so have to wait for some new one's and so on, but I still got my legs and some shoes.

My favorite part of your videos is always your positive outlook at the beginning of each day. #NoCFW !!! 😎👍

Stan from Iowa! Woohoo, another fellow Iowan. I'm an older (57) bike tourer, hiker in Glenwood. Peace to you Ryan and Stan.
These videos just put a smile on my face every time. Thank you for doing this.
Thank you Ryan, you’re right we do have a way with words. 😎😉👍🏻
Looks like a great place to be in the world. 😁👍🏻
It’s feels nice watching you doing this . Cheers
Stoked on the high school kids doing the Colorado Trail!!
I have been watching you and dreaming while I'm under quarrtinine
As I'm watching, I was thinking......"Why are there not more trees???" Excellent video Ryan!! Yes, you're right; there are many stories to tell. DD
Keep living the good life Duzer...you're the man!
You live in a beautiful country, Ryan - please keep sharing these videos with us.
I come for the adventure I stay for the Love!
Fantastic these young men doing this and their parents good with it. I’m sure they were happy to meet up w you Ryan
Heck yeah Stan is interesting! I wish he had a channel. Colorado Trail five times? I'm still hoping to do it once, either on-foot, on-bike, or a combo. I want to hear more from Stan!
Good job Stan the Man, getting out of the truck for health.
A great video Ryan; beautiful country, a very nice way to spend my Monday morning.

Ryan, you are a true inspiration. I just love your channel, and it ALWAYS inspires me to get out and ride my bike!

The drone footage around the 11-12 minute mark, love how you put the gravel audio in there. Nice touch!
Now I’m more convinced about sun sleeves. I’m always hesitant about jumping into streams because I don’t wanna fuss with reapplying sunscreen
So great to watch these installments, Ryan! I recognize all these landmarks, so cool! Unfortunately the stage stop was closed when I rode through about a month ago. Coulda used that pizza! I’m going to do the rest of the ride starting at section 6/Georgia pass this Friday the 13th! Hopefully the smoke isn’t getting too bad for you.
That’s so awesome running into some young kids. Very motivational
Ryan your videos always end too soon for me, really enjoying your adventure and thanks for taking us along, ya'll keep safe x
Helt underbara vyer. Colorado ligger högt på min lista av resmål. 🙏
Thank you Ryan and greetings from the Netherlands.
They young guys are probably thinking "man, the old dude is weird."
So beautiful there. I must add this ride to my bucket list! Thanks Ryan!
Inspirational, thank you Ryan!
Fantastic footage as per. Thanks Ryan ❤
Ryan. Your video makes me smile a lot. Keep them coming and have a great finish to the summer.
Beans, what another wonderful portion of your trip. Love it! On to episode 3! :)
Great video! I have to say i appreciate the miles to km conversions for us Canadians. 😀
As always I’m enjoying watching the adventure
I love the shot rolling down the hill and through the puddle! DD
Moments like 14:18 … about to put tears to my eyes Ryan
I get teary too!!
Great stuff! As always. So nice to see meeting young riders and being inspiration for them. Perfect role model. Congratulations.
woah! it's nice you've met those teen bikers. hope they have a UA-cam channel too. They look happy and inspiring.
Your presents makes my heart happy. I have really considered saving and never buying a car just by watching your videos. Hope I can make to America one day. Thank you!
Espero entiendas mi español, increíbles tus videos, la mejor página que descubrí este 2021 Saludos desde Coyhaique Patagonia Chile
I know you are an athlete - but 15% grade!! That was a huge day, plus the added extras you met along the way! Great video.
Love when you add some suspense to your videos
What a cool way to end the day! Nice seeing young guys out on an adventure.
It sure was, those kids were awesome
Been watching your videos for some time now and they keep getting better with your drone footage, gravel tire sounds and great interviews with the characters on the trail.
How do you find the time and resources to do all this editing in post? Great work.
BTW - I rode the trail 2 years ago and I got a chuckle at 19:25 when you said you were going to ride 8,000 -10,000 feet of elevation a day and get used to it. Ha ha good luck.
I wish I could have learn how to ride a bike. I’m 65, I want to learn how to ride like you but maybe on a short flat area and do have an Suggestion for this old gal. Enjoy watching your videos and would like to thank you for staying with the Navajo family on your trip through the Navajo nation 😎👍🏼💨🚴.
Fantastic mini movie you did here Ryan. Hope you share your CDT sufferfest with us, the Durango to NM, to Mexico part. Ride on...
Wow, your drone shots are spectacular dude!! Really captured the beautifulness!!
Thoroughly enjoyable video (both the cinematography and the commentary) and some really nice flowy single track. Even the bits on the dirt roads looked fun and the views were spectacular. Maybe it’s time I hang up the hiking boots and get on my bike …
Another great episode. I think I love your state too. The columbine is beautiful, and Isabella nailed it. " Its very fair to look upon. Thanks Ryan.
I biked the CT last summer and it was a transformational experience! These shots are bringing back some great (and some tough) memories. Looking forward to seeing how your trip goes over the next few episodes!
A month later while talking about the trail experience with their parents: “Yea we met up with this cool old guy and camped out together.”
Rebuilding a Gary Fisher mb for a friend. Sturdy frame design and exceptional components. Too small for me so I can’t acquire it. 😊 So, let that be lesson, never cheap out on bikes, or allow someone your size to fix them!
Amazing campsite - and that is one quiet bike.
O yes ! You weren't kidding me that there was going to be some killer drone shots ! Outstanding !!!! John & Mira are missing out this one !
Really enjoying this outing , and excellent footage which sadly brought home the aftermath of a massive wildfire way back in 2002 which burned an area encompassed by more than 138,000 acres. In total, 600 structures were lost (133 residences, one commercial building, and 466 outbuildings), causing more than $42 million in housing losses. A total of 5,340 people were forced to evacuate; at one time, 14,000 were told to stand by for evacuation.
Ryan,
I have tried to watch all your pod casts. I HAVE EVEN bought a PRIORITY cURRET ELECTRIC BIKE WITH THE BELT DRIVE. love IT.
Loved it all! The music was especially nice. 🏜️☀️🌵❤️
Any bike rides I do that are over 50 miles, I reward myself with a mile swim and a 1/2 hour butt soaking in the jacuzzi. would like to post my rides on youtube but my gopro only lasts about 2 hours and the battery dies so I just take pics and post them on facebook. Love your videos of places that I won't be able to visit and makes me want to bike where I can so I do that. NO CRASHIES, NO WHAMMIES AND NO FLATTIES!!!
Not just bears, but mountain lions. 💯
Ryan, teach those young pups how to do it! Keep being awesome!
Wow! Ryan, I must come to Colorado and do that trail. I'm sure that those other North Carolina boys are able to acclimate more quickly than a 54 year old grandfather like me. But if I can wrangle the time I do have that buddy in Durango to help me with logistics and such. I'll bet he would even come along.
Love the music you find for you videos.
Thanks for your positivity and stoke, Ryan! Hello, all the way from Boulder County. :-)
Hello from NoBo!! ;)
That guy in the cowboy hat side-eyeing the pizza. Hah.
Ryan, love this segment and enjoyed seeing you with the young guys from NY. Take care on your voyage.
One of your best, stunning scenery, great music, stellar editing. You really conveyed a deep sense of being in solitude and in tune with yourself and your surroundings.
Damn! You keep impressing! Great editing! Great filming! Great storytelling! And a great adventure. You have such a gift.
Absolutely stunning video shots! I'm hoping/planning to run segments 1-3 (41ish miles) as a final end of summer/pre-winter season trail run. What I didn't realize until I watched your video was how close Wellington Lake is to the end of Segment 3. Anyways, great video! Can't wait to watch Episode 3.
Amazing videos, really inspirational and great to see the real positive side of America, Ryan is a great ambassador for USA!
Well done Ryan, Stan the man truck driver was actually an interesting guy and the congrats to those young kids for having the adventurous spirit, best wishes to them, keep these interesting videos coming 👌👍
