Wow, 80 years old! Ebike or not, thats a lot of miles in the saddle for that trip. Well done Sir, heck of an accomplishment. One of the better documented bike tours ive watched Brian.
Thank you! It was a great trip, both for doing it with my dad and also trying the B&B approach instead of camping. By the way, you just got me to Google the Kennywood Memories.
@@briansadventures It's right here on UA-cam. I'm originally from SW PA and have always loved that documentary. Your commentary evokes similar vibes. Great stuff!
Excellent job on the video and nice narration, I enjoyed following along. I love the gap trail on ebike’s and ride these parts often. Maybe I’ll pass by you sometime? Great to see your father still getting out there and enjoying life! Cheers
Just found your channel and have loved following your adventures! Myself and a group of 8 of us rode the Erie Canal Trail last week, and your video on the Erie Canal was great in helping me know what to see and expect!
Thank you Jarred! That's just what I hope for, to be able to help someone with their trip or encourage someone to take a trip. I hope yours was a great one!
@briansadventures Of course! Thank you for making your videos! We had a great time, and camped in a couple of the locations you mentioned (Lock 21 being one). Looking forward to hearing about your experience on the Empire State Trail, that you mentioned in this video! I live near Albany and have been interested in doing some other portions of that trail as well!
@@briansadventures Absolutely, it was a beautiful ride. I rode most of it 118 miles on the first day and finished the trail on the next day. Didn't plan to rush like that but I enjoyed the ride and didn't want to stop, also next day was a rainy day. Now, I'm putting video together. 🙂
Great video! I plan to do the same trip with my two sons in June. What camera did you use for the time-lapses through the city of Pittsburgh? Is that an insta360?
Great video and editing. I'm 70 and plan on riding Pitt to DC with a friend in June of '24. I also want to document my adventure. It looked like you used an Insta360. May I ask what settings you used?
Enjoyed another of your many wondeful video's once again Brian! My Dad is 87 and I'm 65 and there's no way I could have ever gotten him out there even when we were both decades younger! I stumbled onto this old Arlo Guthrie song "Highway In The Wind" the other day which kind of captures the magic of the open road. The lyrics kind of harken back to the 1960s & are definitely a bit dated with his "like a rolling stone" approach to romance but oh well. Lol. ua-cam.com/video/x-Y-x4YgUz4/v-deo.html
Thank you Mark! I saw Arlo Guthrie in concert many years ago, I believe at Oberlin College. He had his son, Abe, playing with him. It was a surprise that my Dad agreed to do the trip, though I think he has the bug to ride more, even if locally.
Respect for you both.! This
inspire me to begin muy trip...'cause i'm 68..BLESSINGS from Panama republic.
Wonderful! Hope you have a great trip!

Thank you. I appreciate that. It was a great trip.
Great memories right there, makes me think of Dad. Thank you Brian.
I appreciate that Kevin.
I like not only the riding portion but the commentary nice as well.
Thank you!
Very cool to have a chance with ur pops to have done sumthing so neat at his age.
Yes, it was a good time
Love this. What a fantastic trip with your dad, and your narration style reminds me of the old WQED Kennywood Memories feature from 1990.

Thank you Jeremiah! You're lucky to be able to ride the trail often
Great job👍🤓🇫🇷
Getting ready to do this trail again in May 2024! The GAP trail then the C&O Canal Towpath to DC. ❤
One of the best trails out there. Hope your ride is at least as good as ours was!
This is amazing! I'm sending this to my dad now
Thank you! It was a great ride. Hope it might be something you could do with your dad too

Great vid as usual. Glad to see you out with you dad making memories. E-bikes are a great tool for this type of riding.
Thank you Gordie! I agree, e-bikes opened possibilities for this trip; I am so thankful for them and the memories we made during this trip.
