I'm sat feeling sorry for myself as not able to ride for a while and you have given me the boost I needed. I just can't wait to get out again. Great Series Ryan. Love you man. ❤
Really enjoyed the slab city video the most and then second was running into that family of riders in your last video. You’re at your best when talking to people and including their stories in your adventures.
Thank you for all that you do. Working full time and having a wife and children precludes me from such adventures but I can live through your journeys. I love what you do.
From the youngest of ages I was taught to follow a traditional path, but it never felt right. So at an age when many of my peers were settling down and having kids, I walked away from my cushy life and found the mountains, and for the first time, life stopped feeling like a constant struggle. Then, when many of my peers were sending their kids off to school, I became a Wilderness Ranger for one of our most beloved national parks, and for the first time, life was filled with a sense of adventure, passion, purpose, and meaning. For a few years, life was better than I'd ever dared to hope, incomparably better than I have words for. Then my ankle figuratively and literally died. Now, I can neither access the places that brought me peace, nor can I work the job that brought me meaning. It's been... hard. But thanks to some videos such as yours, for the first time in months, I've started again feeling things like curiosity, intrigue, and optimism. Thank you.
I remember my first time riding in snow. I thought, "I have a mountain bike with big tyres, it'll be perfect for snow!" and then proceeded to nearly eat it about 3 minutes into the ride. 😂 Looks like it was worth it for that scenery!
This Ryan's new adult-wise version in decision-making is more in line with my values❤😂... It's nice and super cool to ride all day long into the wild, but also super good to enjoy a comfy bed and hot tub❤. Gracias por la super serie
The morning gratitude talk was profound. What you said about riding for 8 days and you return home feeling recharged, humbled, compassionate... hit me right in the feels. What you said resonates so true and motivating. Thanks Ryan, love following your adventures. You are not just a vlogger but a beautiful person with a loving and such a cultured personality.
Thank you so much for this trip, I live up by Sandpoint Idaho now but that area is where I learned to mountain bike around 87. This old man got more emotional as you crossed the 10frwy❤
The view of the valley and city from the mountain reminded me of the line, “The sun was hot and the sun was bright down in the valley below Where people starved and hungry for life so empty come and go.” Keep adventuring, Ryan!
Classic Duzer TV.. Thank You for bringing me along.. What was my favorite.. Slab City, Western Town.. No matter the situation you are always positive.. Enjoying the scenery😀
I am incredibly impressed by the video stabilization on your helmet camera. The downhill was almost rock solid despite the roughness of the trail. Thank you for brining us along.
Outstanding - From Beginning To End - Amazing Winds, Chilly Temps, And What A 7 Hour Day To End The Southern Loop - Slab City Was The Highlight Hands Down - But Everyday Was Pretty Righteous Because I Remember The Area For Sure Well Done Duzer, Cheers
dreamt i was standing outside the St. Julian on Canyon & you & Amelia rode by & i shouted to my girlfriend who was down by the farmers market but could also hear me for some reason i said “hey there goes Duzer & Amelia!!” and she was like “oh yeah!!” 👏👏👏
Love your vids brother. You inspire me to one day do what you do. I grew up in SoCal and explored some of these areas in my younger days. I love the sight of Joshua trees in the dessert. I hope the drought was alleviated by the latest precipitation events they have witnessed down there. Wanna see those Joshua trees in full bloom!
Ryan, you are such a caring, loving, empathetic , optimistic person! Can you send some of that gift my way please? It's far too easy to get caught up in the menutia 😞 Thank you, my friend!
The climb into Big Bear was one of the weirdest climbs of my life when I was on the PCT. It was like 50 miles from Cabazon to the highest altitude. My Husband and I took 2 days to do the climb, and went through this weird rollercoaster of emotions. We walked along water the whole time, which was weird coming from 100 mile stretches with no water. The emotional ups and downs felt truly supernatural, and we didn't acknowledge them in the moment. It was only when we were reflecting on our last stretch. We went from crying in 100 degree heat, to being delirious, hiking at 8pm in 30 degrees singing uptown girl. Nature can do crazy things! Oh, the memories. I was really brought back in this video.
Damn you are such an inspiration! I was biking almost everyday in nature! Loved it. Then i got pregnant.. I was a little depressed cause cycling was not recommended.. So my eyes always lit up and my spirit charged every time you uploaded another video.. It kept me sane.. My son is now 6 months old and im finally back on my bike agian.. Thanks for being the human you are... Cant wait to buy my son his firts little bycicle... Cheers Ryan! Never change! Love, fro. SOUTH AFRICA
Oh wow!! Congrats on your boy!! That must be so exciting. And I’m happy to hear that you’re back on the bike, it must be so nice to be pedaling again. Happy trails
I love your attitude and positive outlook on life. You can either dwell on the negatives or focus on the positives, and you my friend, take the positives out of situations. Much appreciation for your content and positive outlook. Keep it up Ryan! Oooleeee oleee oleee oleeeeeee🤣
Loved the fact that at the start of this you were saying about how humans are good people, and at the end it's a perfect example of what you were stating.
Pretty sure Snickers satisfies you and milk does a body good. Actually both of those things does both of those things…😊 thank you for keeping me motivated my friend!
Favorite part?..... You singing Christmas tree. Can totally relate. Love watching all your content. I started bikepacking in 2020. So if your aim is to inspire people to get out there, well done, you have achieved exactly that. Greetings from South Africa.... And keep the video's coming.
Watched four of your vids today on this lazy Sunday, great entertainment And you've lived in Sweden, Ha I made the move here years ago from Australia , Keep up the great work , Ha det så bra 🎊🚴🏽♀️
8:50 - "yep, it's the real deal. This is steep." // and yet, what does Ryan do? He pulls out a camera, holds it one hand while the other balances his body on the bike frame to crank out the power to climb. You amaze me Ryan. Thanks for capturing the pain too along with all the other great ride shots. Your 'work' motivates me on the basement trainer rides.
What an excellent wrap up ending for such an adventure! Lots of thoughts from the soul along this way. Congratulations! You have inspired more in myself. Thanks for the adventure. Be safe and be well until next time.
Loved this one! It looked very challenging in the changing conditions: hot, cold, rocks, gravel, pavement, wet. I suspect some of those trails are pretty trashed from our recent rains but the wildflowers should be nuts this spring. It’s nice to see a tour like that in my back yard (Long Beach). Your editing is terrific and the length of your posts is perfect.
How did you know I was laying on the couch watching this episode ? Thank you this has been a great series . Truly some of best scenery you have ever posted . Happy Birthday from my wife and I .
TY Ryan. Another great vid! I live in the foothills of the San Bernardino mountains very close to where you passed through. Before moving here a decade ago from the east coast, I was clueless as to how beautiful the Inland Empire is. From the SB mtns to the Mojave/Joshua Tree. And so much great biking!
Just finished watching the whole journey. It was another goodie. Thanks, Ryan for publishing these inspiring stories that really do make me get out and ride.
Bit of an ad nerd here. It was Milk: it does a body good. Snickers: Satisfies. What a great series. Thanks for sharing with all of us. I’ve driven and van camped in some of these areas. I’ve seen some amazing music at Pappy’s and then camped in the corrals. I’m a mountain biker but hope to get into bike touring at some point.
I love your videos and admire your outlook on life and the freedom you share. I wish I was healthy enough too ride the distances you do. Looking forward to the next video.
What an amazing adventure and how could the ending get much better. Good human beans and some new bags to boot. Thanks for taking us along. Take care, Al
Hi Ryan, I just finished the book last night! Such an inspiring story/adventure. I happened upon your channel by chance by searching “Burning Man” 😂, but have loved learning about biking/bike packing watching your videos. Even getting my wife an my bikes going now. Thank you for sharing your adventures!
I was born and raised a long that whole route. It's great see it all again. I've been out in the northeast for 13 years and miss it back west. It really feels like that route is my childhood. I dig it all.
Yeah I grew up right around the sweetwater reservoir in East San Diego. Slab city is a rad place as well as the Salton sea. Dates galore in Coachella and big bear is classic so cal mountain town.
Ryan I just finished reading your book it was awesome I couldn’t put it down got it last week already finished it! That was some trip 4,000 miles😮! I really like all your adventures I’ve watched on UA-cam keep it up 👍
Dear Ryan, @18:54 The slogan for Snickers was "You're Not You When You're Hungry". “Milk does a body good” had become the beverage's catchphrase during the 1980s, built on the idea that drinking milk promotes healthy bones and brawny muscles
Thank you for posting this! I live in big bear near one of the trails that comes off the mountain and intersects this road. I’ve always wanted to ride down to pioneer town but I never knew if the trail was good for bikes. I hope you do more videos up here, I’m planning a lot of trips for Holcomb valley or off the skyline trail like your other videos. Thanks!!!!!!
Too bad you didn't have a Sharpie to correct that sign. :D Glad you're okay! Your path looked a little 'sketchy' there in places! Glad to have another great Ryan Van Duzer video! Love the ending to this! Hilarious!
Those Chili-Mango things looked so good, I went online and ordered some. Once again, watching you on another great bike trip with all the beautiful scenery makes one forget for a moment about all the bad stuff in the world. Fact check: 99.9% of people are good? I know you are positive guy, that's why people enjoy watching you so much. But, deteriorating world conditions would indicate a much lower percentage. (sorry for the downer) In the meantime, we can hope for a better future.
Ryan, I love your videos, and yes, I am sitting on a couch right now. But, you inspire me to go out and do some great outdoor trips like last year's month long adventure visiting various national parks in Utah, or hiking Franconia Ridge in White Mountains, so, thank you for sharing. A lot.
What an amazing 9 days Ryan. Enjoyed every minute of your adventure. Glad you are safely home for the holiday, even though it was a couple of months ago. Keep on showing us the way to wonderful adventures on the seat of a bicycle. Make it an awesome 2023!
Hey Ryan, great video! Thanks for sharing the end of your journey! UA-cam didn’t put this in my subscriptions list, I almost missed it. I hope this is a one-time occurrence, I don’t want them leaving you out. Anyway, take care!
I enjoyed watching this so much! We're local to the area, so it was so much fun to watch you ride in places we're familiar with. Oh, and my husband is a fan now too! So...ole ole ole...lol :)
Another awesome video Ryan. I watch all your videos from here in the UK with my 8yr old daughter - a Sunday evening post-bath tradition 😊. She asked me “what’s the difference between a crashie and a whammy?” And you know what I don’t know!!… over to you 🤔
Awe!! What a fun tradition. Give your daughter a high five from Crazy Uncle Duzer!! A whammy is anything crazy and unexpected…maybe a swarm of killer bees, or a tornado…or a sinkhole appearing out of nowhere :) you get the drift.
Milk does the body good...Snickers satisfies 🙂 Loved this one!! I credit you with getting me excited about riding my bike again. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
Man, is seems like you experienced all 7 seasons in 9 days! Great video/series, thank you! I'm a super social person and always worry that I'll go crazy bike-packing alone, but these videos are truly inspiring. Going with others is always fun, but it seems to me like you begin to discover so much more about yourself when you go it alone. I'm gonna get out and do it! Thanks, Ryan.
Great work as always Ryan! Really enjoyed tagging along, loved the awesome scenery and the characters you met along the way. It is currently freezing outside right now so makes it even more enjoyable to watch. Way to go big "D"!
Hi Ryan, my wife and I love your videos and adventures, we were wondering if you have ever riden or thought of riding the river to river trail in Southern Illinois we read about it years ago but were never able to ride it ourselves, it might make for a good video. Keep up the great work be good and maybe I'll bump into you on another Ragbrai some day.
Right on brother! Thanks for such an awesome vicarious experience. My brother lives out there in the desert of San Bernardino county. Need to get out and enjoy his mountains. Hope you had a great holiday season 👍 see you on the next one.
Ahhh Big Bear. Favorite place to go when I lived out there (Anaheim) 32 years ago. Quaint area, am sure it's super developed by now...good stuff as alway's amigo.
Master class, Ryan ! Thank for sharing another great adventure series. I watch in 4K and haven't had a television for 20 year Lol.Your videos are just brilliant. You had me smiling with the humour on this last one again too and the scenery was just nuts. Thanks from the UK 👍🏼
Thank you all for watching this series! It was one of my favorite routes of all time. What was your favorite part?
I'm sat feeling sorry for myself as not able to ride for a while and you have given me the boost I needed. I just can't wait to get out again. Great Series Ryan. Love you man. ❤
Really enjoyed the slab city video the most and then second was running into that family of riders in your last video. You’re at your best when talking to people and including their stories in your adventures.
The lovely family you met in J-Tree. 😉
That BIG-ASS burrito at the end!
The Santa Ana Winds 🙈🙈😂😆🤣 nah, just kidding, the whole series was great. Thanks for bringing us along this adventure Ryan 👍🏼.
Thank you for all that you do. Working full time and having a wife and children precludes me from such adventures but I can live through your journeys. I love what you do.
Bikepacking keeps life in the present moment for sure. Duzer for President.
" When I'm in the present moment, that's when I feel the most alive. For sure. " Ryan Van Duzer
Great fun watching you bike in the desert and be undaunted by adversity. Great when friends show up and square things away. Grand!
Couldn't agree more!
Well I'm watching this after riding 20 miles of sand, gravel, pavement, rocks and dirt this afternoon, after church. Gorgeous day for riding!
Right on! Sounds like you had an awesome day
From the youngest of ages I was taught to follow a traditional path, but it never felt right.

You should watch Footless Jo. The struggles are not all the same, but some are. It may be of help.
I'm not trying to be a smart ass, but I don't understand what you mean by your ankle literally and figuratively died.
I remember my first time riding in snow. I thought, "I have a mountain bike with big tyres, it'll be perfect for snow!" and then proceeded to nearly eat it about 3 minutes into the ride. 😂
Looks like it was worth it for that scenery!
Haha!! Yep…snow isn’t easy to ride on
This Ryan's new adult-wise version in decision-making is more in line with my values❤😂... It's nice and super cool to ride all day long into the wild, but also super good to enjoy a comfy bed and hot tub❤. Gracias por la super serie
Haha!! Now I need a hot tub every night :)

“The sun was hot and the sun was bright down in the valley below
Where people starved and hungry for life so empty come and go.”
Keep adventuring, Ryan!
I loved it all ! My favorite part is the dry desert, especially when it is not too hot and you can see the vast blue skies. 🏜️🙂☀️
Classic Duzer TV.. Thank You for bringing me along.. What was my favorite.. Slab City, Western Town.. No matter the situation you are always positive.. Enjoying the scenery😀
God says this: Love and Serve one another. :)
I bought a kaiventure bag a little over a year ago and i cannot tell you how useful its been. Its awesome to see the person that help make it!
Great to hear!
Actually working out while I watch, which is often my routine. Sometimes we watch over dinner, though.
Good see John and Mira again
I am incredibly impressed by the video stabilization on your helmet camera. The downhill was almost rock solid despite the roughness of the trail. Thank you for brining us along.
The new GoPros have incredible image stabilization
I usually shy from riding my bike when it gets below zero, but that path looks so beautiful. I think I’ll have to re evaluate.
Outstanding - From Beginning To End - Amazing Winds, Chilly Temps, And What A 7 Hour Day To End The Southern Loop - Slab City Was The Highlight Hands Down - But Everyday Was Pretty Righteous Because I Remember The Area For Sure
Well Done Duzer,
Cheers
Thanks, my man!! Slab City was my fave too…so out of this world!!
dreamt i was standing outside the St. Julian on Canyon & you & Amelia rode by & i shouted to my girlfriend who was down by the farmers market but could also hear me for some reason i said “hey there goes Duzer & Amelia!!” and she was like “oh yeah!!” 👏👏👏
I love these multi-day adventures. My favorites parts were slab city and Joshua Tree. Thanks for bringing us a long.
Slab city was my favorite as well
Ryan your the best ! Just love watching your videos , I live vicariously through all your adventures ! You are such blessing to UA-cam 🚴♀️🚵🏼♀️🥇
Awe, thank you, Cherl!! I really appreciate your kind words
Love your vids brother. You inspire me to one day do what you do. I grew up in SoCal and explored some of these areas in my younger days. I love the sight of Joshua trees in the dessert.

Oh, the memories. I was really brought back in this video.
Uptown Girl, what a great song to sing out loud. I always sing to myself when I'm out there. So cool that you did the PCT, that's on my list!
What an amazing ride down from Big Bear! The San Bernardino & San Gabriel ranges are incredibly rugged and beautiful. What a road you came down !!
It was soooo beautiful out there! I need to go back and explore
Damn you are such an inspiration! I was biking almost everyday in nature! Loved it. Then i got pregnant.. I was a little depressed cause cycling was not recommended..

We love you RYAN......us living room dreamers dream with you every adventure! Thank you. G
You are amazing, inspirational ,and fun to follow. Its been 2 years I have not been on an adventure, the time is NOW !!!! Thanks Ryan
You can do it! Thanks for watching my videos
Snickers is satisfying! 😉👌
Loved the fact that at the start of this you were saying about how humans are good people, and at the end it's a perfect example of what you were stating.
So true! Good people show up everywhere
Pretty sure Snickers satisfies you and milk does a body good. Actually both of those things does both of those things…😊 thank you for keeping me motivated my friend!

Thanks, Hugo! Maybe I’ll release a Christmas album someday 😂😂 Happy trails!!
Bro an initial in the mountain that’s for real trail magic !!!!
Next up…STREET RAT MOUNTAIN ;)
Watched four of your vids today on this lazy Sunday, great entertainment And you've lived in Sweden, Ha I made the move here years ago from Australia , Keep up the great work , Ha det så bra 🎊🚴🏽♀️
Vad kul!! Jag älskar Sverige!! Hope it’s not too cold up there right now
8:50 - "yep, it's the real deal. This is steep." // and yet, what does Ryan do? He pulls out a camera, holds it one hand while the other balances his body on the bike frame to crank out the power to climb. You amaze me Ryan. Thanks for capturing the pain too along with all the other great ride shots. Your 'work' motivates me on the basement trainer rides.
26:31 - what a beautiful site...and Ryan rode his bike through and over all of it. Animal.
Heck yeah it looks nice and warm!! LOL I love them chili mangos!!!
So good
This was a great series makes me want to start cycling again.
What an excellent wrap up ending for such an adventure! Lots of thoughts from the soul along this way. Congratulations! You have inspired more in myself. Thanks for the adventure. Be safe and be well until next time.
Great video RVD, I watched it while riding a stationary bike indoors. Going over that mountain was the best. Thank you!
Hey thanks! Hope you have a great new year
Thank you for great inspiration piercing my whole life with positive energy! Btw, 22:10 - something is crossing the road in 10-15 meters ahead of you.
I do my best!
Loved this one! It looked very challenging in the changing conditions: hot, cold, rocks, gravel, pavement, wet. I suspect some of those trails are pretty trashed from our recent rains but the wildflowers should be nuts this spring. It’s nice to see a tour like that in my back yard (Long Beach). Your editing is terrific and the length of your posts is perfect.
How did you know I was laying on the couch watching this episode ? Thank you this has been a great series . Truly some of best scenery you have ever posted . Happy Birthday from my wife and I .
Same. Post-workout couch laying here in Boulder, watching a Boulder neighbor do things not in Boulder in 2022
TY Ryan. Another great vid! I live in the foothills of the San Bernardino mountains very close to where you passed through. Before moving here a decade ago from the east coast, I was clueless as to how beautiful the Inland Empire is. From the SB mtns to the Mojave/Joshua Tree. And so much great biking!
The snow and mountains looked so beautiful!! DD
I agree!
Just finished watching the whole journey. It was another goodie. Thanks, Ryan for publishing these inspiring stories that really do make me get out and ride.
And thank you for following along!!
Bit of an ad nerd here. It was Milk: it does a body good. Snickers: Satisfies. What a great series. Thanks for sharing with all of us. I’ve driven and van camped in some of these areas. I’ve seen some amazing music at Pappy’s and then camped in the corrals. I’m a mountain biker but hope to get into bike touring at some point.
haha, oops!! Thanks for straightening me out...I get all those 90's commercials mixed up. I want to go to a concert at Pappi's someday. Happy Trails!
I ride in the snow and I fall off into it about 20% of the ride, you did great
Snow is indeed spooky to ride on, I’ve fallen many times
I love your videos and admire your outlook on life and the freedom you share. I wish I was healthy enough too ride the distances you do. Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks for the kind words. More vids to come…
What an amazing adventure and how could the ending get much better. Good human beans and some new bags to boot. Thanks for taking us along. Take care, Al
The best humans!! I’m so fortunate
You are welcome Ryan ;)
This is probably one of my favorite videos. That you for sharing your morning thoughts.
Thank you! Sitting on a bike all day brings out the best thoughts
Thanks for this series. I really enjoyed it. The snow brought back a lot of good memories for me of rides in the snow here in Colorado.
Hi Ryan, I just finished the book last night! Such an inspiring story/adventure. I happened upon your channel by chance by searching “Burning Man” 😂, but have loved learning about biking/bike packing watching your videos. Even getting my wife an my bikes going now. Thank you for sharing your adventures!
What a epic adventure dude! Thoroughly enjoyed following along. Looking forward to the next one, ✌
Spectacular views and a awesome adventure and it doesn't hurt to pamper yourself like an adult. LOL :) I got my Duzer fix so I'm good. :) :)
That’s the truth!!
Safe travels. It's been cold at night in the desert.
I was born and raised a long that whole route. It's great see it all again. I've been out in the northeast for 13 years and miss it back west. It really feels like that route is my childhood. I dig it all.
That’s cool! I’m glad that these videos could bring you back
Yeah I grew up right around the sweetwater reservoir in East San Diego. Slab city is a rad place as well as the Salton sea. Dates galore in Coachella and big bear is classic so cal mountain town.
22:56 That mountain on the Horizon to the right is where I grew up Corona California
Ryan I just finished reading your book it was awesome I couldn’t put it down got it last week already finished it! That was some trip 4,000 miles😮! I really like all your adventures I’ve watched on UA-cam keep it up 👍
Dear Ryan, @18:54 The slogan for Snickers was "You're Not You When You're Hungry". “Milk does a body good” had become the beverage's catchphrase during the 1980s, built on the idea that drinking milk promotes healthy bones and brawny muscles
I’m such a ding dong 😂😂😂 thank you

I hope you do more videos up here, I’m planning a lot of trips for Holcomb valley or off the skyline trail like your other videos. Thanks!!!!!!
Have ridden the Pioneertown loop many times...such a great ride. Then the reward stop at Pappy's & Harriet's (in Pioneertown) post ride :)
Ah-mazing!!! Thank you for sharing! Can't wait to see where you go next :)
Wait! Wait! Wait!
I like Chili , I like Mango!
OH MAH ......GAWD! I need to eat some !
They are soooo tasty!!!
Too bad you didn't have a Sharpie to correct that sign. :D
Glad you're okay! Your path looked a little 'sketchy' there in places! Glad to have another great Ryan Van Duzer video!
Love the ending to this! Hilarious!
From now on, I’m traveling with Sharpies 😂😂 thanks for watching my videos
that climb is sooo sooo worth it.
Those Chili-Mango things looked so good, I went online and ordered some. Once again, watching you on another great bike trip with all the beautiful scenery makes one forget for a moment about all the bad stuff in the world. Fact check: 99.9% of people are good? I know you are positive guy, that's why people enjoy watching you so much. But, deteriorating world conditions would indicate a much lower percentage. (sorry for the downer) In the meantime, we can hope for a better future.
I hope that you enjoy the chili mangoes!! I love em
Ryan, I love your videos, and yes, I am sitting on a couch right now. But, you inspire me to go out and do some great outdoor trips like last year's month long adventure visiting various national parks in Utah, or hiking Franconia Ridge in White Mountains, so, thank you for sharing. A lot.
I love hearing this! Utah has some amazing national parks!
What an amazing 9 days Ryan. Enjoyed every minute of your adventure. Glad you are safely home for the holiday, even though it was a couple of months ago. Keep on showing us the way to wonderful adventures on the seat of a bicycle. Make it an awesome 2023!
Thanks so much!! 2023 is going to be amazing
Hey Ryan, great video! Thanks for sharing the end of your journey!
UA-cam didn’t put this in my subscriptions list, I almost missed it. I hope this is a one-time occurrence, I don’t want them leaving you out.
Anyway, take care!
Yeah I have the same problem, it's not coming up in my Subs list or indicating a new video by Ryan.
Fix this YT, ASAP
Oh weird!! I wish that I could fix this, but I’ve actually never talked to anyone at UA-cam 😂 glad that you still found it
Great series! Thank you for sharing your amazing adventures with us!
Thanks so much for following the journey!!
I enjoyed watching this so much! We're local to the area, so it was so much fun to watch you ride in places we're familiar with. Oh, and my husband is a fan now too! So...ole ole ole...lol :)
Glad you enjoyed it, you live in a beautiful area!!
Sweet video, wow , caught us all on the couch for this video. Ok really enjoyed this. !! Keep up the Wonderful adventures Ryan !!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a fantastic trip! Thank you for sharing all of your great moments. I especially loved your morning Thoughts!
Thanks! I appreciate that.
Another awesome video Ryan. I watch all your videos from here in the UK with my 8yr old daughter - a Sunday evening post-bath tradition 😊. She asked me “what’s the difference between a crashie and a whammy?” And you know what I don’t know!!… over to you 🤔
Awe!! What a fun tradition. Give your daughter a high five from Crazy Uncle Duzer!! A whammy is anything crazy and unexpected…maybe a swarm of killer bees, or a tornado…or a sinkhole appearing out of nowhere :) you get the drift.
Milk does the body good...Snickers satisfies 🙂
Loved this one!! I credit you with getting me excited about riding my bike again. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
Whoopsie!! Haha, I’m all mixed up on 90’s jungles.
I just watched on Patreon, but wanted to pop in here to give it a "like" and wish you a very Happy Birthday! xox
Awe!! I really appreciate you doing double duty!! THANK YOU for always being so kind
Love this series, I live in Socal and have been to many of the locations. Come back soon!
Another awesome videos. Ole ole ole for Ryan!!!!
Man, is seems like you experienced all 7 seasons in 9 days! Great video/series, thank you! I'm a super social person and always worry that I'll go crazy bike-packing alone, but these videos are truly inspiring. Going with others is always fun, but it seems to me like you begin to discover so much more about yourself when you go it alone. I'm gonna get out and do it! Thanks, Ryan.
Thank you, Kathryn! I really hope that you try this out someday…you’ll be surprised at what you find out about yourself
21:38 omg Ryan this stretch is AAAAAAMAAAAAAZING !!! I can't handle it myself but thanks for taking me along.
It was definitely a beautiful way to end the adventure
I absolutely love your videos!
Great work as always Ryan! Really enjoyed tagging along, loved the awesome scenery and the characters you met along the way. It is currently freezing outside right now so makes it even more enjoyable to watch. Way to go big "D"!
Kindness repays kindness. Coolness.
It’s great to see you getting the most enjoyment out of your rides
Another great adventure... that winter light, eh!
Yes it was! And I love that winter light
I just missed you, I left the 16th riding in the snow with my gravel bike and staying at hotel to celebrate the 2022 Marine Corps Ball.
Always makes my day when you post a video, my whole family watches your adventures. Love your work brother 👍
Thank you for sharing to us your adventure. I wish I can do it as well in my lifetime. Have a safe ride.
I hope that you can, someday!
Hi Ryan, my wife and I love your videos and adventures, we were wondering if you have ever riden or thought of riding the river to river trail in Southern Illinois we read about it years ago but were never able to ride it ourselves, it might make for a good video. Keep up the great work be good and maybe I'll bump into you on another Ragbrai some day.
Yeah I'm riding along with you on my couch 😄 🤣
That’s a good place to be ;)
Right on brother! Thanks for such an awesome vicarious experience. My brother lives out there in the desert of San Bernardino county. Need to get out and enjoy his mountains. Hope you had a great holiday season 👍 see you on the next one.
It's such a beautiful area!! Hope you make it out there
Ahhh Big Bear. Favorite place to go when I lived out there (Anaheim) 32 years ago. Quaint area, am sure it's super developed by now...good stuff as alway's amigo.
It really is and I wanna go back in the summertime
Ryan, thanks for sharing this amazing trip with us, I really enjoyed..............best regards.
Master class, Ryan ! Thank for sharing another great adventure series. I watch in 4K and haven't had a television for 20 year Lol.Your videos are just brilliant. You had me smiling with the humour on this last one again too and the scenery was just nuts. Thanks from the UK 👍🏼
Thanks, Phil! I got my first TV just a few years ago, but I only use it to stream movies (or youtube). Thanks for following along!
@@duzer I don't blame you hehe and cheers 👍🏼
