the cat is diggin' Darin's socks and sandles combo... 8-D
I made it to Calaveras Big Trees state park about 18 years back. Wow that experience will always be with me. Loved the black cat at the WS host. Black cats rule
The Redwoods absolutely blew us away, it felt like an intense emotional experience! 💥 Has anyone else seen them in person?
Home Sweet Home!♡(((
You were a couple of blocks from our house in Arcata. Weird to see it from someone else's eyes. So you took Old Arcata Road to Eureka? You're brave and skilled riders.
Yes, I went to school at Humboldt State. Lived all over Humboldt, and for years my touring bike was my only transportation. Enjoyed your take on that very special place!
Excellent videoing, not easy while riding. I loved that "he knew every building" comment. Yes, Redwoods fun! Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much! Yes, it was a fortunate meeting...stuff like that always happening while on tour...love it.
Your positive attitude in the rain is amazing! :)
Gotta have fun with it lol. At times rain can be miserable on the bike, but being in the elements (as we're not used to doing these days) can also make you feel alive! Kinda like that about cycling. Forces you to experience it all : )
One of your best! Spectacular scenery too.
Greetings from Pauma Valley.
Beautiful!! Love that you are meeting interesting people along the way. And the scenery...as it was on the Oregon coast, spectacular!
I don,t want this trip to end. Another enjoyable vid.
We were feeling the same! Fun to relive with the videos though
For non US viewers like me, it really is a pleasure to discover small-town America and its friendly people. Thank you for this quality vlog and tons of smiles.
Riding Home Even as Americans, it was great to see and experienced the smaller towns and National Parks we’ve never been to before. Makes us appreciate the beauty of our country 😊 🇺🇸
Oh wow Redwoods is high on my list! Just gorgeous! That trail looked amazing! It take me forever to get through there because I would stop so much.
Denise Looking Out Yes same! I kept wanting to stop and snap pictures but the rain kept us moving! 🙌
Amazing how the scenery changes when you cross state lines.
Michael Tattershall I know!! Instant scenery change. Was a bit jarring
Nice
Thanks for posting your video. When I am watching your video I realize what a beautiful country and nice ride the west coast of usa is. It's -2c this morning in whitehorse and it snowed yesterday two inches but melted by the late afternoon. I am envious of your nice weather in california cheers brian
We are pretty lucky here in CA, but I do miss winter weather. After riding the coast we are definitely keen to see more of our own country.
@@radbikeadventure Ps on the weather today in whitehorse +20 great. Yesterday did 50km on the bike and today a slow day only 20km. thanks again for posting
Hey guys hope you are safe and well ! My dad said that his fave place in the good old U.S.of A was northern cali... im definitely putting it on my bike bucket list ! Looks amazing!! Cheers !
Yes, it is beautiful up there! The very north is so quiet and the you can't beat the Redwoods. Just amazing. Sound like your Dad knows what's up!
❤
Another great vid guys 👍
Nick Rose Cheers Nick!
As you got closer to home, did you notice if your speed was increasing or decreasing? You know, “I can’t wait to get back” or “I don’t want it to end”.
Bit of both. But as we got closer it was definitely the "i don't want it to end" feeling.
I expected so much of crescent city on my coast ride. But was a dump. That climb out was sketchy.
So many dangerous roads on the coast trip. The unprepared can find it daunting and not fun.
Yes adventure cycling does make it clear that if you are not comfortable with traffic, this is NOT the route to try. there's some dicey spots for sure
WOW! Great video! Looks like you two had an amazing time. Northern California has been on my list for years, hopefully I'll make it sooner than later. Did you spend much time there or was it just a quick ride thru?
Hey Phil, we did! We mostly were just riding save for a couple nights near Eureka and a few nights in Stinson Beach. Loved it though. Definitely add it to places to visit. The mountain biking is amazing up there too. We could definitely spend 3 months at least just exploring that area!
Wow, trees are so massive.... Would be a bit scary on the Gravel oute though...
Vinaykumar Eluri They are incredible. It doesn’t feel scary though. Just like you’ve been transported back to an ancient world. It felt really comforting .
Love it. I was excited to watch oregon ride. I'm inland on the boarder. What kind of bike maintenance should I expect for riding the Oregon section?
Touching to watch the journey
Ah cool! Bike maintenance? Hopefully none if you're bike is in tip top shape! Nothing is too difficult to manage and the roads were very good. Oregon has done a great job with signage and campsites for cyclists too.
Hope you can ride it sometime!
Hello Kona Ambassador. How is it bike holding up? Any upgrades, maintenance, nuances? The 2020 Sutra comes with 10spd (11-36T), all Deore! Thanks
Hiya! Bike is still doing great though it could use a tune up and re-greasing. I did put a few miles on it hehe. But my plan now is to turn her into a full on bikepacking rig like the Sutra LTD so that'll be a video upcoming for sure! Might change out the drivetrain, new handlebars etc. Are you thinking of getting a Sutra??
I follow your channel (subbed) and bike touring mike (Sutra) and tourdeteemu (Ltd). Tourdeteemu has done 29005 kms, 587 days and 30 countries on his Sutra Ltd! And both Sutra and Ltd share the same frame. Regards.
Nice vlog, thanks.. how much is the camp coast in california for bike and tent..and can you show your rute map thx
We followed mostly the adventure cycling route. It takes you on old coastal highway and some alternate roads but follows the coast pretty closely. Our route is in our description for Komoot and google maps. The hike and bike camps ranged from 7-15 USD per person. Sometimes we had a friendly ranger that lets us camp at a discount together.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh Wow!
That was an amazing episode, music was spot on.
Our weather here has been nasty the last week, have not been able to get out for a ride. Starting to twitch.
This was needed.
Question, what is your average speed, you seem like you are moving along at a decent clip.
Thanks so much! As for speed we usually average 10miles/hr with quick breaks for photos, resting etc. (not including lunch stop). We did a long rambling video about how far we go everyday that touches on this if you're interested 😀 ua-cam.com/video/6zMuQSzB4ug/v-deo.html
@@radbikeadventure Okay, so I could keep up LOL, it looks so much faster on camera.
I will check that episode out.
Oh wow, it is 44 min long.
I know what I am doing tonight.
@@radbikeadventure Finally got around to watching that episode. Thanks for the link, was very informative.
Big tip. Don’t ever ever call California “Cali” only Midwest transplants and Ohio tourist call it Cali. Cali is so so 1980’s tourist slang that local born and raised people hate when you call it Cali. This is coming from a born and raised Californian. Other then that keep up the riding and stop by sunset beach or big basin parks and ride highway 1 next time instead of 101 eeeew.
Big tip. No one cares. I'm born and raised in California my whole life, and would never say Cali just because it isn't part of my regular vocabulary. Similar to saying *the* 15 instead of I-15 highway...but just keep little opinions like this to yourself. You might make some friends.
Primifluous Dying!! 🤣 🤣 I’m born and raised in California and “Cali” has come back in, well kind of. I was doing it more tongue in cheek as a way to make fun of that old skool slang that we now reference in jest. The 80s are back didnt ya hear?! Lol. (Plus California is a long word to fit on a tile haha) Thanks for backing me up. People DO love to share their “I know better” opinions which can at times be helpful and sometimes come off as dopey, he must not have watched all the parts where I mention we are “going home”. Ah well. But just so RViscara knows, you actually HAVE to divert off the 1 and onto the 101 for parts of the route. They mingle and intersect near Santa Barbara. Must be a Northern Californian 😉
@@radbikeadventure If Rviscara was more than just a *tourist* to your channel, it would've been obvious that you're native Cali'ians ;)
BTW out of all of the bicycle related stuff I bother my girlfriend about watching, the video of you two testing out your bikes down to San Diego is her favorite by far, she really loved it. She loves camping and likes bikes, but not busy roads, so hopefully some bikepacking may be in our future. Thanks for the vids! Cliche, but they really are an inspiration.
@@Primifluous lol you seem to think I would want anything to do with someone who calls California cali.... I also suggest you take your own advice and keep your opinion to yourself. I doubt you would say the same too me in person.
@@radbikeadventure Its not a "I know more then. you" its called being offended by calling it CALI like a immature 14 year old. Its much like the slight comment you are trying to pass off as nice. You know how when you once had that only boyfriend in college that pissed on your backside in the shower and was passing' it off as kinky but some how you knew he did it to degrade you. As for knowing the coastal highway sweetie I am Poly tech grad from the Silicon Valley and was referring to the Northern California coast area you traveled in this video not southern California so please.. By the way your dutch is terrible and its pathetic you can't even learn a few words,. I will just chalk that up as ditz who can't make a effort. Only millionials believe the 80's are back because that is the era of the liberal arts professors at bezerkly.So by all means look like.a idiot and continue to call it cali every one will just laugh at you much like the old boyfriend pissing on your back in the shower.
