I love that gravel bikes are meant for exploring new places. I also love that they're quiver killers, mine doubles as my road bike with a 2nd wheelset and it's honestly no slower than my old road bike.
Hey Having only ever owned mountain bikes at around the £100 point and struggled to keep up with my chums on far superior bikes in both cost and type, I finally treated myself to an upgrade. So I now own a gravel bike. I took it out for its first proper ride on the weekend on a mix of gravel tracks, paved roads and wet mud. I flipping loved it! The difference in riding a quality bike fit for the types of riding you do and a cheap mountain bike that weighs in at around the same as a small car is way more noticeable then I would ever had imagined. So, first trip out I know you’re all going to want to know how I did?! The ride, by the numbers...... 1 hour 35 minutes, 18 miles and 236 feet in elevation. You gotta start somewhere right? All the best from the UK.
Sometimes I think you have to many bike choices doggy. I'd have a hard time picking with the steeds in your barn as well. You need a cardboard spinny rigamoroll maybe? Like a board game of bikes. 🤘
To ride gravel, is to suffer. To survive this suffering give meaning to the ride and why you do it. I felt your suffering and can so identify with it. This is one of many many reasons, why I watch all of your videos
Yeah now rides like THAT are what got me into cycling! Just finished possibly the last ride of this season and already cant wait fot the next year's to begin. Great content, good vibes, amazing views, pleasant pacing. Thank you for your videos!
This is dope! I grew up in Corvallis and rode my Bridgestone MB3 "mountain bike" all over the central coast range fire roads in the mid/late 80s, dodging the logging trucks as they hauled out the most beautiful old growth. The fire roads go forever and ever. I miss that shit. Glorious.
You have earned my subscription. Just know I don’t give the out to everyone. Not some subscribe smash hussey. I love gravel bikes for the freedom. Not just constrained to road for exploring.
You look so cold when you get back into your truck. I would stop riding 20 mins before end and turn on the heater for the Model 3. Ensuring a heated posterior when I jumped back in !! Thanks for the video !
On those long dissents, one needs to either go slow, very slow, which is hard to mentally accept. That hyperthermia is not childs play. Or wear an insulating layer that is ridiculously heavy and cumbersome to pack on the accent. So, perhaps a multiple vehicle relay system is called for in such cases.
I end up riding the 2021 Norco Indie 4 everywhere. I hate it but now that I got rid of the Tourney stuff and put ancient Deore 7 speed stuff and fenders.. happy I think when they determined 47/50 was the best with 26 we should have just kept that with the others. I don't go more than 2.1 or under 35mm. I think it's all about the casing and tube etc.. I pair TPU presta with everything. also. I would be out there with my Trek 7300fx disc 29 mod. 2.1 happy medium
Good stuff! Beautiful ride, although it looked a bit uncomfortable at times, but that's what adventure is about, right? Cool tunes and love the attitude! Subscribed!
6:59 oh I'm going to check these out. I'm not so much a prescription glasses nerd, I have to wear prescription glasses 🤓🧐🤓🧐🤓. No prescription glasses, no riding, I am that nearsighted 🙂.
The reason Ron turned back had nothing to do with his lack of correct attire! It was he realised he didn't bring you any food,. You need to remind of this on your next ride. Great vid.
Yes, def recommend a rigid steel mountain bike or an old touring bike going for cheap. Those likely have a larger tyre clearances. Get going and it won't be super expensive while you work out what you like.
Wait, what kind of water was that, Dustin? 3:03 All these body types and shapes out there, and the John Belushi guy is the strongest rider? One of the things I love about cycling.
Been meaning to ride Valsetz and been VERY curious about the Valley of the Giants! It's been hard to find much information about the area, so super stoked at this sneak peak.
Dustin......this was one of your best yet.....bloody fantastic entertainment. Could have done with a tad more Ron but the amazing and stunning trees easily made up for that. By the way what's a Super Bowl.....is it a really really big bowl???? Love the Jawbreaker's, i've 3 pairs....coooool......
Chamois pulls double duty in the winter months, for padding and for soaking up the wetness like a big ol diaper when you choose not to bring fenders on a winter ride in Oregon 😳
Great and fun ride as usual! What's the reference for your Oakleys? I have both short sight and astigmatism, and I cannot find bike prescription glasses for the hell of me.
That’s weird. I remember I knew guys back in the 90s who had Oakleys that fit a prescription lens behind the main lens. I would think there would be all kinds of options these days.
I love the options for adventure and the pure unadulterated plushness🤤. Would be an honor to do the EBD podcast or any other excuse to have an interesting conversation with you. Ever want to hear from a type one diabetic, charismatic teacher who is making the most out of his small town, let me know player.
Face it, it's only sportsball until the Vikings win the super bowl😉 I started to feel bad for Ron leaving the ride when there was blue sky and sunshine soon after... but in the end it looks to be the exactly right decision! How was Devin's ride on the broken down Volkswagen bug gravel?
Now what I really want to know is what you think of the ‘Rock and Roads’ Dustin?? I have been running them on my Planet X Ti Tempest since I got it in October 2020, I run 32mm Vittoria Zaffiro Pro if I am road riding and the R and R’s for everything else-I have actually done some club road rides on the R and R’s which went ok-so what is your opinion??
Hi Dustin, Could you please let me know the model name of those prescription glasses? I've looked at the sportrx site via your link but wasn't able to find them
Dude, ROB over at Sport RX?!?!?!? Need to get on those Wiley X frames - added straight up ballistic ANSI protection - plus you can crash, art and DIY in them. I know a guy, hit a brother up. Also....pocket pizza!
Epic slough! Would rather watch your content over the super bowl 1000% As with many Oakleys, while they certainly look functional, how should I put this politely...they look special AF
What do you LOVE about Gravel Bikes?
Grinding away the cartilage in my knees on steep ass climbs
Gearing it up 😁
Can go on casual road rides with my friends, and rural or logging roads if i so choose. The versatility is nice.
Cool clothing and bikes
I love that gravel bikes are meant for exploring new places. I also love that they're quiver killers, mine doubles as my road bike with a 2nd wheelset and it's honestly no slower than my old road bike.
I love how Ron has no problem bailing. If he doesn't have the right gear, he won't be a martyr.
He has enough experience under his belt

Man. Everything about this video is GREAT. Love the musical choices and the style. Keep it up man!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I still need a gravel bike...
But Dude, I don't know why, this is my favorite video of yours. Great scenery, great tunes, great shots!
You are a player!!
@@EverythingsBeenDone yeah man! What’s the title of the songs, if you don’t mind my asking? Need them for my cycling playlist.😅
Masterpiece! The trees, the dudes, the rain, the maps...nailed it soo hard!💥👌👌👌
My man!!
Ron had that all planned out, evil genius.
Sometimes I think you have to many bike choices doggy. I'd have a hard time picking with the steeds in your barn as well. You need a cardboard spinny rigamoroll maybe? Like a board game of bikes. 🤘
How about a spinner? “Dustin’s wheel of bikes”” where the pointer lands that what he rides...?
“Hey Ron, tell me about your lack of rain gear!”
LMAO!!
@@EverythingsBeenDone The title should be why you need more rain gear, who cares about the bike. Bike ain't going to save you in the wild.
Beautiful scenery. That old growth forest looks Awesome!!
That section made the ride!
Always break before the corner. We love the rain in Ireland.
LOL you’re even more into football than I am. Good to see I’m not the only non-football watching man in the country
I heavily support the Pittsville Pikers. Best football team ever!
I have a gravel bike (sorta). Now I need to go ride it in Oregon, the magical bike trail land!
The best editing and soundtrack ..... once again, thanks DK
I went on a ride during the bowl too. Good call! 🍻
great minds think alike!
Your videos are always good, or ... great! Cool guys, great tunes, beautiful scenery and epic play by play. Keep it up!
To ride gravel, is to suffer. To survive this suffering give meaning to the ride and why you do it.
I felt your suffering and can so identify with it. This is one of many many reasons, why I watch all of your videos
I like the Ron method of setting up a ride with brutal climbs and bailing lol. Might try that regardless of weather
Yeah now rides like THAT are what got me into cycling! Just finished possibly the last ride of this season and already cant wait fot the next year's to begin. Great content, good vibes, amazing views, pleasant pacing. Thank you for your videos!
Beautiful ride. Crummy a** weather. I would never leave the house if I lived there. Colorado in case you wondered. Ride on.
Damn, you all are impressive. Just watching that ride made me feel cold - wow!
Man that forest 👌🏼👌🏼 love me a Bruce Gordon to.
"Please feel my pain" 😂
I can't feel your pain but I can feel you thinking that thought.
😂🤣😭
Oh I liked that drum break through the bumpy parts section

@@EverythingsBeenDone been enjoying the vids! Now I want an e gravel bike.
Loved this epicsode, especially the psychedelic music is great
Loved the trees!!
stoked for that directors commentary!
It’s now live!
Too funny! Love those mud scenes! And the music is soooo appropriate! Lol
Yet, ANOTHER effin’ AWESOME ride and film by the Hommies!!
Oooo motivation before the weekend
LOVE THIS!
You look so cold when you get back into your truck. I would stop riding 20 mins before end and turn on the heater for the Model 3. Ensuring a heated posterior when I jumped back in !! Thanks for the video !
Ron is the route building maestro!!
Agreed!
Nicely done! Super good ride/vid
I appreciate you!

Woah! Did the same ride last year. Glad to know it’s still just as gnarly. Good for you guys!
I rode for 3 hours yesterday. 14 ft of climbing and not a tree anywhere. I am moving to Oregon.

@@EverythingsBeenDone legitimately finished the whole video had lot of laughs. Great group you guys got
Good morning great music,
Can you put up a playlist please?
i saw the tread on your tires and was like oh shit are those the rock ‘n roads! i wanna see a full review!
THIS goes in my Top Ten List...awsome countryside,all the bells an whistles...b.t.w. these oakley glasses are soo 2019...;-)
I love my 40 mm tires they are good for road and gravel, dustin you naild it ,fantastic work you wizard 🤩😉
The reason Ron turned back had nothing to do with his lack of correct attire! It was he realised he didn't bring you any food,. You need to remind of this on your next ride.
Great vid.
Great video, awesome riding, hilarious group!
Whoa. Didn't know that Devon was the one doing the voice of Crusty the Clown!?!? Amazing!
These gravel rides look like tons of fun, too bad I only have a road bike with 25c tires, I desperately need to get a gravel bike.
Get a vintage mtb

We Need A Report on Ron.........Did he make it to safety? Is he ok? Why did he switch from Rene Hearse to Teravail Tires? So many Questions......
That forest was so beautiful
You guys are sick !
Cool ride , cool bikes , cool guys
Dustin......this was one of your best yet.....bloody fantastic entertainment. Could have done with a tad more Ron but the amazing and stunning trees easily made up for that. By the way what's a Super Bowl.....is it a really really big bowl???? Love the Jawbreaker's, i've 3 pairs....coooool......

🇮🇩 I'm from Indonesia, I like your content. keep gravel 👍🏿☮️
Your videos are always a joy thank you so much
awesome edit!
you are the music master !
Logging slime?? No way! That's too awesome to be real. Ron is a robot imposter from the future.
To go further and faster on trails less travelled. 😊
Great video! What is the name of the band covering Something in the Air (I think it is a cover anyway) you used in the video? I must know!
Hey Dustin, good shout on the Oakley Prescription cycling glasses! Which model are those? Thanks!
They are the jawbones! I still love them.
Winter in Oregon and not prepared for rain?
Great and fun ride as usual! What's the reference for your Oakleys? I have both short sight and astigmatism, and I cannot find bike prescription glasses for the hell of me.
That’s weird. I remember I knew guys back in the 90s who had Oakleys that fit a prescription lens behind the main lens. I would think there would be all kinds of options these days.
Anyone knows the brand and the model of the frame bag? Thanks!
Beautiful scenery. But how cold was that?
2.1 650 for the WIN!
I love the options for adventure and the pure unadulterated plushness🤤.

Cool glasses. Tech Noir on Pico Boulevard, what movie is that from 🎥?
To ride gravel, is to suffer. To endure and survive this suffering adds some deep meaning to the ride.
I enjoy your videos I have to ask what pants do you guys wear in the rain?
Face it, it's only sportsball until the Vikings win the super bowl😉 I started to feel bad for Ron leaving the ride when there was blue sky and sunshine soon after... but in the end it looks to be the exactly right decision! How was Devin's ride on the broken down Volkswagen bug gravel?
The oldest forest looks like all of Northern Ireland. Great edit as always 👌
Yes I am subscribed! Awesome videos !!
I'm stealing this route for my PNW road trip - hot shit that looks so rocking
Damn that looked beautiful. Proper gravel ride for sure
Now what I really want to know is what you think of the ‘Rock and Roads’ Dustin??

7:58 this is hands down the best part of the video XD
Dustin, dude I have the same frames and bad eyes, Jawbreakers brother✨
I wish I had an adventure squad!
Is there a snail mail shipping price option on the website for stickers?
They are all snail mail
I want to go to there!
Epic epic epic video dude 💪🏻
My man!
Hi Dustin, Could you please let me know the model name of those prescription glasses? I've looked at the sportrx site via your link but wasn't able to find them
Maybe a future video featuring fenders is in the works?
Dude, ROB over at Sport RX?!?!?!? Need to get on those Wiley X frames - added straight up ballistic ANSI protection - plus you can crash, art and DIY in them. I know a guy, hit a brother up. Also....pocket pizza!
Those map updates though! 😎
Can you get a Pandora channel man. Alllll your music is amazing. Ohh yea Free Fergus by the way
Oh my... I so wanna ride this route. I'm not a football fan really but "Magicals". yes Magicals.
What helmet does Chris Brannon have on?
LOL Ron suckered you into the route and didn't even give you a snacky-cake!
Why is Doug eating solid food!
Your right!!!!!
Keep going out on days like this and you’re gonna need some windshield wipers on your camera lens
Awesome buddy awesome...
That forest is ace! Is the Red and black Gore jacket a Micheal Jackson Thriller edition?!😂😂👌👌
Great vid as usual. 👌👌🏁🚴♂️
I even had a clip of me talking about my Michael Jackon jacket...LOL
@@EverythingsBeenDone haha! Brilliant! With those glasses you’re rocking it! 💪💪👌👌👌😂
Epic slough! Would rather watch your content over the super bowl 1000%
As with many Oakleys, while they certainly look functional, how should I put this politely...they look special AF
LMAO! I have always wanted some teched out Oakleys mainly because they usually dont do Rx in them. Now I got them and looks crazier then ever ;)
@@EverythingsBeenDone If they work for you, rock em! I ain’t nobody’s judge!
GO MAGICALZ!
