- I went bikepacking for the first time! This has been a highly requested video, and here it finally is! Cannondale sent me an electric bike to try, so I loaded up my backpacking gear and rode 90 miles over three days on the Olympic Discovery Trail here in Washington for my first ever bikepacking trip! From camping at an alpaca farm outside Port Angeles to riding along the coast of beautiful Lake Crescent, my first bikepacking trip was some of the most fun I've ever had, and I'm thrilled to share this video of the adventure with you!
Just like my last video trying bike commuting, this video is presented by Cannondale who have been so wonderful in letting me try two of their top tier e-bikes. Thank you Cannondale! Y'all rock!

More biking content from Miranda PLEEEASE! Love her outlook and positivity no matter the situation she’s in. So fun to watch and definitely has inspired me to get out and explore more!
We're so happy to hear it! How do you enjoy the outdoors?
OMG I'm so jealous! I love seeing things by bike. Gotta try this out soon.
Love the realism and Miranda's bravery in the face of something she didn't want to do (ride on highway) and that she balanced being honest about how she felt but also being so positive
We appreciate the kind words 😊
Yes, a civilized country would have safe, separated bicycle paths, but at least in America we have a "positive attitude" 😆
And all the road cyclists are all, "What? There was PLENTY of shoulder on that highway!" ;) :D Seriously, though, for a relatively newbie cyclist, that was no doubt a bit of an intimidating challenge. Well done!
That isn't a highway as human powered vehicles are not allowed on highways. That is a primary route
Would definitely watch more cycling content! So glad you had such a good time, there are literally thousands and thousands of miles of bike trails all over the country, and most of them inhabit former railroad lines or towpaths along canals and rivers, really cool stuff!
There's so much to explore when biking!! Happy trails 🚴♂️👍
Love the reaction upon entering the tunnel. "What in the HELLLLLLLLL?" Who can stay in a blue funk when Miranda is around? NOBODY! Thank you for my 500mg dose of MITW Capsules!
Miranda brings all of the serotonin!
I hope she always makes videos. She really is a ray of sunshine when things are bad. Her smile, laugh, and realness is refreshing!
Miranda is so endearing and entertaining! I'd watch her fold laundry.
I think the use of an e-bike is awesome! You can make it as hard or as easy as you want, and it opens up activities like bikepacking to people who would otherwise be physically unable to do it on their own.
Yeah small percentage of people who actually 'need' an ebike from a disability. Most people are just to lazy in getting out and riding before going fully loaded.
This woman was just lazy. These are creating weak people.
@@wmiller7208 weak?? she stilled biked 90 miles over 3 days with a bunch of gear! far from weak, buddy
@@ivytyler I agree with Ivy's comment and here's my 2 cents worth. I'm functionally blind & ride a recumbent tadpole trike for safety. I do overnights & 4 to 5 day tours. I'm 74 years, not decrepit, but i ride the trike to get out & enjoy life. Don't ever, ever, judge a person for a trike or an electric assist (or wheelchair) until you know why. Go Miranda........
@@ianlindridge5378 So telling people who take a different and disagreeable view to you don't have a voice. This girl is quite clearly capable of riding a proper bicycle and not being lazy. Ebikes are motor bikes and traditional cycling has been infected by them, all these lazy feckers now claiming they are cyclists. No they are not, but they are cheats!
Miranda is a fantastic presenter and this video is great, but I have to give a shout out to the camera people and drone operators, some of those shots were absolutely beautiful. 👍👍 Great work.
She sure is! The whole crew is amazing. 🙌 Be sure to stay tuned for more great content! 😄
"Unintellible wow" me whenever i see anything interested ever, thank you for keeping that in. Blackberries!
Thanks for watching 😄
More bike packing please. You are such a delight to follow
Came for the alpaca farm, stayed for the lovely bike packing trip. Great job on the drone shots. The editor is pretty excellent too. Good job team!
We appreciate the love!! Alpaca farms and bikepacking trips are always a fun time.
I've cycle toured for years, rode most of Vietnam, Hanoi to Ho Chi Min City (Saigon), Melbourne to Sydney. First half of the Great Ocean Road. Tasmania's East Coast (a couple of times) I've also commuted all my life and owned more bikes than cars. Used to be a 100km (60 miles) a day on pretty much any terrain, so long as it was a msde road. (Single track's "a bit" harder, hey.)
It makes my heart sing when others discover cycle touring. eBike or not, the open road on a bike is freaking golden. And that moment when camp is setup and your nomming dinner, watching the sun going down. Life can't get any better. ❤❤❤
Miranda’s humor and enjoyment of the outdoors is infectious, a 90-mile bikepacking trip is a most excellent adventure, and the crews excellence in capturing the scenery and fun was wonderful. Thanks, and let’s have more bikepacking!
Yes yes yes more Bikepacking more mountain bike trails!
Glad you're loving the content, Luis! 😊
People should know they cut out the part where they had to put the bikes on a bus or van to get from the end of Discovery Bay (mud flats in the video) to 4 corners to continue the ride into Port Townsend. If she thought riding on that huge, wide shoulder was scary, she definitely didn't ride on the road for the section with no trail yet. Lots of volunteers are working on it and have been for many years. It has to go over very high, steep hills somehow.
The county is working on a route that will cut out HWY 20. I believe it will go through the backside of Anderson Lake State Park and reconnect with the Larry Scott Memorial Trail.
@@toddkj7jhh That is the long term plan but for the next few years at least, people should be aware of the dangers of riding on the road in that missing section of trail.
Yeah I prefer to go 104 to center, it's a longer route but has a shoulder at least.
@@undertwotimes And once you get to Center, the traffic usually isn't that bad there.
90 miles is trail and about another 40 is still on roads.
They've been building it for decades and won't stop for another couple.
I’m so glad you tried bikepacking and enjoyed it, Miranda! It’s great you realized the awesomeness that is traveling by bike and I hope we see more bike trips and cycling content from you! By the way I think you can consider yourself a cyclist now 😉.
Thanks, Katherine! Where do you enjoy bikepacking?
this is the best video i’ve seen so far, you look so happy and enjoying life in the moment as you try a new experience :))
New experiences are a great way enjoy life!
Among milions of youtubers, hundreds that I know about, you are among my favorites. Top 5, I mean. All i can say is thank you, and please continue what you are doing. It is awesome.
Thank you, Fabian!
You go girl have a blast. Northern Canada
Thanks for tuning in!
I’ve been considering bikepacking! This has convinced me to DO IT!
Miranda has, definitely got me so excited about bikepacking! YAY!
Right on! 🙌
I would love to see more bikepacking material with Miranda! This was great, I would really love to see more fellow women get involved in bikepacking. I'm hoping with the help of this video and more we will have more women out on the trails. Thank you Miranda and thank you REI.
Bikepacking is an amazing activity. We appreciate the support 😊
I truly enjoy watching the videos Miranda and crew put together. Her joy at trying new things and exploring always makes me smile. I defiantly look forward to seeing new videos when they come out and learning something new.
We are so happy to hear that! Thanks for tuning in, Jennifer. 👋❤️
Best video yet! Miranda's excitement is so contagious!
Glad you liked it! Her excitement is contagious in the very best way. 😊
Yes! I've got a bikepacking trip to prepare for so I've been eagerly waiting for this video!
We hope you have an amazing trip!
Bikepacking looks so fun!! I'd love to give it a try!! And GOD that trail looks gorgeous!!
❤❤❤Loved it! YES, MORE BIKEPACKING PLEASE!! 🚲
Your videos are so inspirational! PLEASE keep the bicycling videos coming. Your positive energy and absolute joy of life in general is fun to watch!
Miranda it makes me smile so much seeing you soo happy!! Such a joy to watch. Definitely some of the most beautiful scenery yet. And those drone shots were AWESOME.
Thanks for watching! Is it even possible to not smile while watching a Miranda video?! 😁
I love this video! Information and fun to watch, with well shot footage. Can’t beat it!👍👍
More cycling content please. Miranda I love that you show your nervousness, it is reassuring that you can be scared to try something and still do it. Thanks!
Totally want more biking content from Miranda! Loved the journey.
Always wanted to do this. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for watching!!
Miranda is so adorable!!! Thanks for all the great videos and just being yourself.
Miranda is the best! Thanks for watching Dennis.
I'm not really into bikepacking (yet), but I'm really enjoying these videos. Miranda's bubbly personality is awesome and refreshing lol
This might be my favorite Miranda video!!! Drone footage was incredible. What a beautiful area...thank you for sharing!!
We're so happy you enjoyed watching, Susan.
Yes please Miranda, more cycling videos. Well done, great content, this gives me a really good idea about e-bikes and what to expect. Thank you.
We're happy to help!
Very cool. More of these please. Thank you.
I love the cinematic drone shots and the music that goes with it. It's pretty refreshing to watch considering it's always a fun and quirky Miranda in the wild episode :D
I love your infectious enthusiasm. I too started out backpacking many years ago. I discovered bikepacking about 5 years ago and I am sooo hooked on it. I have done many different types of trips, pavement, rail trail and mountain bike wilderness stuff. The latter is very strenuous but so rewarding. I would really enjoy seeing more bike content from you. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Hi, Dave! Thanks for watching and sharing that with us. Where have some of your favorite bikepacking trips been?
Miranda, you are a total dork and it puts a smile on my face every time. Thank you! "First time in a loong time" - I feel that. I'd totally give you a big 'ol hug if I could. 🤗
WOW! Your cheeriness and positivity is really contagious. Plz keep it up.
Looked like lots of fun! 😊
Oh, good grief! This was precious as hell!
Did bike packin for a lot. of years when i was young no e bike they were not invented yet but never the less it was a fantastik time so watching you have such a good time it brings back wonderful memories so yes more vids like this or whatever you dream up. Is fine by me like i said you go girl Norther ont. Canada
We hope you enjoy the future videos! Thanks for the support.
Great video. Exactly what beginners need to see. And, yes, more bike content!
Everyone just needs some inspiration to get outdoors!
"I'm not going to hold [the apple] for you. You gotta take it. You're a grown up." absolutely killed me
😂 Thanks for watching, Jess!
Great video Miranda...Yes on Mountain bike trip!
Seen a lot of bikepacking videos. This has got to be the most enjoyable one. Thank you! 😃

I think e-bikes are great! I don't own one. But they put smiles on faces just like regular bikes! That's all that matters!
Right on, Nathan! 😄🚴
Yes please more biking! So beautiful, tfs Miranda and team ;) Cheers from 🇨🇦
Thanks, Lapi 🙌❤️
Thanks Miranda !! Makes me want to take up a new thing !!
Glad you enjoyed it. Happy trails!
I loved this content. I want to try bike packing now! Thank you for a fun, silly and beautiful video.
I love my e-bike-you inspire me-great job
Thanks Dawn! Glad you enjoyed.
it’s always enjoyable to see my fav creators on my hometown ☺️
Miranda, it is infectious to see the joy you derive from your adventure and bridge encounters. We also used all of our camping equipment for our bike packing trips. Thanks for taking us along on your fun positive journey. Would love to see more of your bike packing fun!!!
That's wonderful, Michael! Thanks for the love ❤️
Wow what a beautiful trail!!!!
Isn't nature incredible? ⛰️🌲
Excellent Bike and Customer support!
Felt like I was watching double rainbow man with Miranda’s excitement level over the scenery!
Miranda is a beam of sunshine 😄
This one was such a fun watch! Would love more bikepacking videos
Great commentary, enthusiasm and great filming too. I enjoyed traveling along
That's what i was talking about! Great experience! Thank you very much for uploading the trip.
The highway is something that I also dislike and added to all the weight of the bike worries me. But I really liked everything because it was an extremely natural experience with all the circumstances they lived through.
Again, great video and I would love it if you take a longer trip.
Thanks for the kind words!
I've been camping/hiking in the Olympics my whole life. Love seeing a trail I've been on before! Thank you!
That's awesome! We're happy to introduce you to a new trail in a location that you know well and love! Do you think you'll check it out the next time you're there?
I agree!! more biking content please. Miranda is just awesome and these vids are so well done they are a real treat to watch!! {well done production people!!} Hats off to REI and Cannondale for making all this possible!!!
We're happy to hear that you enjoyed this video and liked the biking content! Thanks for tuning in 😊👋
this is great! I bikepacked this last year as they were paving the trail on the north side. I’m glad to see it’s open now
Yes more bikepacking!
Fun video Miranda. As a newer e-bike rider your trip was super encouraging! Thanks
Great video, Miranda...👍
whenever miranda is passionate about anything that’s the formula for a good video
We definitely agree! 😊
YESSSS, WE NEED MORE BIKE CONTENT!!!
Can i like this video more than once!!! Thanks for the inspiration, I’m definitely getting an e bike and I’ll be sure to check this trail out. Can’t wait!!!
Right on! Get out there and enjoy it! 🚴🙌🌲
Miranda’s commentary is truly top notch 👌🏼
She's great at what she does that's for sure! 😁
I have been very interested by bikepacking ever since I found out it was a thing... the joy you have for new experiences is so infectious, it makes me want to get out there and Do More Things more often. Frankly, Miranda, I would watch you watch paint dry. Keep on keeping on 💜
Right on. We wish you many great camping adventures in your future. Thanks for stopping by, Kayla!
So proud of you Miranda!! Awesome content guys!
Thanks for the support, Chloe ❤️
As someone who has never bikepacked and is not a cyclist, I really enjoyed this. The e-bike seems like an easier entry to bike packing than a full human powered bike.
Maybe something to add to the bucket list? 😉 Thanks for watching!
This was great, I would love to see more bike packing content. I'm a long time backpacker (20+ years) and recently got into e-biking for commute and mountain biking. I'm inspired to try my first e-bikepack!
Love the positivity and give it a go attitude!!
Thanks for watching and sharing the enthusiasm! 🙌
Would love to see you on a mountain bike trail. My girlfriend and I have been backpacking and riding mountain bikes. We really want to combine the two now for some bikepacking Action.
Thanks for the recommendation. We hope you're able to go bikepacking yourselves!
There is a 25 mile bypass on the Olympic Discovery Trail called the Adventure Route. Nice mix of single and dual track mountain biking between Lake Crescent and Port Angeles. There are also some much more intense downhill mountain biking routes in the Dryhll area (near PA too). Highly recommend!
I love all of the music and the high quality, INCREDIBLE video!!!!! You and the production team are really doing a wonderful job! As someone who was born in Seattle and living on the east coast, I miss the pacific nw so much!!!! This reminds me how beautiful it is. Thank you for introducing us all to the humor of the great outdoors :)
Thank you for watching along! We're so glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
definitely do more videos of bike backpacking, this was awesome. love following you.
We appreciate the suggestion, Gary! Thanks for watching 😄
What a funny adventurer, glad I found you!!
This was the coolest. PA was my hometown growing up. I’d love to do this with my kiddos
You have the coolest job! Yes to more cycling videos. Loved this one and the last one on commuting.
Cycling videos are awesome!
Wow! 90 miles with a motor! Nicely done!
