HELLO MY DISTANT FRIENDS! A quick note - I know the ads can be annoying but I'm trying to make a few dollar to cover all the coffee I drink at cafe's while editing. 😱 I'm able to choose what types of ads appear so hopefully they are now sports related and no more adult diapers. 😂

Well…just between us (🤣) I’m over 50 and just recently hit menopause and let me say I would give back menopause in a heartbeat for my menstrual cycle again! 110%!!!!!!

I'm 55, hehe i feel a total relief, i hated periods and everything that went with it, the pain, the bloating, the PMS, having to take The Pill which ruined my good health, i hated being a women for decades, [i love being XX nowadays, very happy to be a sister, had years of therapy, very worth it] i'm atheist/non religious too but my folks rinsed me thru the catholic school system and those guys do girls dirty, so i grew up a bit messed up, they take credit for a woman's Labours and gives it to an inviz male, then they claim eve came from blokes rib, like women are some sort of afterthought in humanity = reality check = women create all the humanity, all the men, and all the ribs, eve created adam's ribs! anyway, dads around my parts were/are v sexist and girls are not encouraged to go to university, expectation was you'd get conned into impregnation by the 1st fool who looked at us sideways = parenthood and a boring soulless job flipping burgers or something :( I had a brother you see, we were like peas in a pod only, I was slightly better at everything hahaha .... until the church segregated us, he was welcomed up front with the head guy, alterboy, while I was shuffled to the back, under a black veil and told to feel ashamed of my gender! and ofc, when i complained, "how come I can't be an alterboy?" my mother would say "it's cuz ur a girl" like it was MY fault i was born a girl, instead of saying "it's a bit of a boysclub this but give it a go, there might be jobs for girls one day.." haha :)
I swear no one can get any more authentic then telling their audience you just started your period. I rolled on the floor laughing so hard ... you are way too FUNNY !!!
Your random monologues are always funny as sh’t but “Sweaty butts” had me LMAO and “I wasn’t tall enough.” I wish I was as comfortable being me as you are being you.
I’m so happy you commented on that part! Since I just am a stream of consciousness nothing is planned so I have no memory of what I actually have said until I go back and look at the footage. I thought this was really funny and true and was really surprised no one was making comments about it. I guess most didn’t find it funny but at least you and I and Deborah did! 🤜🤛
I love these "relive" map sequences in the videos. I first saw them in a couple of hiker vlogs who were doing either the Pacific Crest or Continental Divide trails.
The bee scene is a reoccurring nightmare!🐝 You're making me Jones for banana cream pie now!, and that bread you bought at the little outdoor market was tasty looking too! Your video production is very creative and well thought out. Very cool. I love bees, but I can't stand bees! So glad they didn't🐝 jack you up. Cheers my favorite atheist !🤘

Ahoy Captain Naomi🙂 Thank you for sharing people and places we might have missed 😊 Ride, captain ride upon your mystery ship Be amazed at the friends you have here on your trip Ride captain ride upon your mystery ship On your way to a world that others might have missed Seventy-three men sailed up from the San Francisco Bay Got off the ship, and here's what they had to say "We're callin' everyone to ride along to another shore We can laugh our lives away and be free once more🚴🗽🌞 Ride Captain Ride Song by Blues Image ☮️kevin
One of the coolest experiences I've ever had on my road bike, I was going down a hill at around 20 mph when a whole swarm of bees came up along side from my right, then literally engulfed me, and continued to match my pace. I was able to reach up and just tap some with my finger while they flew next to me. They never showed any aggression or even land on me. They stuck with me for over a half mile and then turned and went to my left and disappeared.
So we just re watched this episode and the family wants to know what was that amazing looking dinner you ate with Cindy and John in Moscow? Take care ,Chuck
Hahahahaha...I loved your comment! Seasons Public House. I thought it was ribs but looking at their menu I only see signature steaks. Sorry - it was in 2020.
OK… so ironically another follower mentioned that bike leg on Strava and it turns out I titled in the post “Huckleberry ribs.” How ironic?! You ask me a question - I don’t remember - someone else having nothing to do with our conversation brings up Strava where the answer is posted.
Thank you Noemie for your nice comment. (shoulder, road conditions between Plummer and Moscow) day 29. Makes me think if you did it, i can do it :) I carrie paniers though, so i will need to be extra carefull. Have a nice summer !
Posting a new message worked cause I was alerted immediately. 👏 I just went back and watched. Thanks for bringing me back to some fun memories. Six minutes in is the sketchy section which I want to say lasted for an hour or less. Maybe you want to time it during a quieter time in the day like the morning and consider taking the paneer off on the side that’s in the road and rest it on your handlebars. May be a bit helpful for when you get two trucks passing at the same time. There’s really no where for anyone to go as you can see in the footage the part I animated. And - ABSOLUTELY - you can do it! You can also Google Drive from Google maps. I do that when I rent places to get an idea of the neighborhood. 🤣🤣🤣 and if you need a place to stay, I know Cindi in Moscow would love to have you.
Big day! Somewhere between the implosion of both logging and mining in Northern Idaho make for an almost a wide open Appalachia feel for the communities there. Moscow is one of the fastest communities in the West making a huge contrast against that decline. This mornings opening was a lesson in primitive public sanitation. When biking, I often take my potty kit in with me to mitigate the surprises. So much for an alpine start to my morning when your story popped up. Way worth it!
When I did long-distance bicycling tours I had to use public restrooms very often. I'd carry a small spray bottle of 91% isopropyl alcohol. Spray the seat and wipe it off with paper.
That map is sooo cool that u start with is that a program?.. I love your videos they are sooo real.. .. ! I hiked 132 miles this summer around Lake Okeechobee fla.. next summer I'm riding my bicycle to south Jersey from fla.. keep it up your amazing
It’s done by the app Relive! I pride myself on staying brutally sincere so it warms my heart when people find it refreshing! Well check you out!!! Niiiice!! 👊👏
I have both Apple and Samsung cell phones, actually 5 cell phones, 2 tablets, and 3 computers in my camper Van, and I also run both Apple Maps and Google Maps, and hands down prefer and use more often Google Maps, primarily for location sharing so my sons can always see me wherever I;m at as I roam around the 11 western states, and also I usually have a couple of friends caravan'ing with me and its easier for them to always see where I'm at live and just click directions straight to me. I also always pre-download large map areas long before I get into those areas with remote areas so I always have a digital map. I also have paper maps but usually only for backup and rarely use since you can pre-download complete google maps areas..
Those bees were probably splitting from the main hive and looking for a new home. I never experienced anything like that on my bike tour but we were having bees hives where I was growing up. Cool video. Great episode 🙂👍
11:30 *Google maps* So you can actually download areas from Google maps to use offline. It's a really cool feature I use prior to hiking/ biking in areas I know I won't have service
Thanks for sharing helpful feedback for everyone! I actually didn’t know you could do it from those maps I just knew you could do it from apps like Trailforks.
Quite an interesting ride. I will never look at public toilets the same "sweaty butts"🤪 NEVER sit too gross. Your breakfast looked yummy especially the pie. $2.36 for regular gas - a distant memory; we are around $3.50. Makes you plan ahead before you head out on your day. I am loving these cute little stores, Zolis was so sweet and the pastry yum! I wonder what the swarms of bees are all about. Maybe you're right they are all gathering for an "evening cocktail party". One day I may be brave enough to stay at a warm shower although I wouldn't hold your breath!🥰
Hahaha! "Never look at public toilets the same." Ya..the gas - I wonder how many didn't travel as much this year due to the high cost. Thanks for watching my dear friend! 🤗
Thank you for watching! The trip was in 2020. I know it goes by fast but it’s printed on the beginning of the animated video. It took me a while to decide if I wanted to share it and then there’s the ongoing task of editing. Hence it now being 2022!
I like you and your videos more knowing you are an atheist LOL. NO for real, you have a fantastic attitude and watching your videos make me feel like I am riding along with you. Just fun friendly energy that I have grown to look forward to watching when I have down time. Butterscotch sugar bomb pudding is a great reward for climbing the climbs and Knowing when to boogie, boogie, boogie,!!!! Thanks for making the videos they do more than one can say.
Gosh Josh…your feedback is truly heartwarming! ☺️ Your reaction to me being an Atheist is the same type of reaction a Catholic person would feel if they found out I was Catholic. I get it! 😀
If you come to South Florida you can couch surf right here. Actually it would not be a couch. It would be a nice comfortable double bed all to yourself.
@@HumanontheLoose that's okay. Just so you know. I rarely if ever extend such an invitation. I have a sort of membership with warm showers. Nobody has stayed here yet. One person contacted me and wanted to but I was getting ready to take off on a bicycling trip of my own at the same time. The cyclist said I was the only one or the only one of a very few out of many he contacted who even took the trouble to answer him. So I'm not so sure how efficacious it is to contact warm showers for a place to Rack out for a day or two. I think a woman would have a much better chance than a man of contacting somebody on warm showers and getting a place to rest. I don't know because I never contacted anybody to use warm showers for myself.
Hello ! I am planing a bike trip this may-june. From Portland, Columbia gorge, Lewiston, Coeur d'Alene trail, Missoula, Glacier national park, and to Norh Dakota. Your videos have been very helpfull thanks ! I am a bit concern about the traffic and the lanes (shoulders on the 95 Between Moscow and Plummer. Can you tell me how it was over all. ?? There seems to be a stretch before Tensed with barely no shoulders. Merci beaucoup and have a great summer ! (i plan to do Potlatch- Chatcolet state park in one day.
AWESOME!!! I'm SO excited for you! Thank you for letting me know my videos are helpful. It inspires me to continue posting! Well..let's see. Let me go back and look at a map...one second...ahhh yes. Barely a shoulder. If you watch those videos in order of that section and let me know which title (episode) it is I can be more specific. I'm super comfortable with trucks going by and very aware if one is approaching. I get over knowing one can also be behind me as well as with wide trailers. Everyone was respectful but as long as the rider stays aware and is respectful of their feelings on squeezing by a cyclist. I also did not have panniers sticking out on the sides. Oh...and if you find the video you'd like me to expand on...it may be best to make it a new comment so YT alerts me. Often times when it's a reply from an original comment I don't get alerted.
Ah... The joys of public toilets. Now I'm a guy so I don't have to go to this ritual as often as you gals. But when dooty calls I always carry in my fannypack 2 plastic Ziploc bags-one has baby wipes the other Clorox disinfecting wipes. So I basically sanitize the entire top lid and seat before I perch with the disinfecting wipes. The baby wipes come in handy if it is a long hot ride and I want to treat my undercarriage especially if I'm going to apply more chamois cream. Plus they can be used at camp for quick cleanups if no other sources are available. Just be sure to label each bag CLEARLY! :)
Baby wipes rock! Good idea. I carry them in my car but never did on the bike but will do it next time. Thank you for sharing your experience. I always love those comments!
Have ridden this trail numerous times. One of only a few rural trails that is paved. Another good one is between Cranbrook & Kimberley just north in British Columbia. I made video of it. Search You Tube with my name and words North Star Trail or Cranbrook Kimberley. Happy riding.
Those bee must have liked you because you're so sweet. Actually you are hilarious. Your perception of the world is that of an adult with ADHD. That's not a slam in my book.
CUTE! 😊 "Hilarious" Someone who appreciates my odd sense of humor! 👏 Believe it or not you are not the first person to mention that to me. There's a guy who wrote a huge article about how his life was once he started taking meds to "control" it. His life became boring - so yes - I wouldn't have it any other way and I'm happy you felt comfortable stating such. So many people are afraid of speaking up these days. Cheers to you my friend!
Simply adorable you are, thank you for being you.
