Ahhhh, another great adventure captured. The eggs looked delicious and what a cute Starbucks, all the ones I have seen are sterile and commercial. You always find a way, street smarts win again!! ❤️🤩
Haha - you’re cute. Well…most of it is purely self-entertainment. Just try adding an additional 50,000 words to your typical dialogue each day and it’ll happen for you too. 😜
I've hit up Sun Valley myself a couple of times while roaming around Idaho and each time while I was there, I checked out the FREE disperse campsites just outside of town, however the number of flies at the time were so massive, I just didn't want to open my Van doors or windows, so I drove back into town and decided it was the perfect time to splurge and spend the cash for the luxury of AC in a hotel .. and order room service !!!
how to dry shirts etc. put both arms through shirt "body" and wave up and down till dry. Voile straps - get some,they're the best. Sleeping bag - Valandre makes great bags for a reasonable price
🤣🤣🤣 That would’ve been a great visual in a video! I have some but ended up using the bungee because I needed the hook part that attached to the rack and they worked out beautifully. Cool - i’ll go check them out!
There is euphoria in being clean after time in wilderness. Warm water flowing over a dirty and tired body, reveals how luxurious a daily shower really is. That same wet feeling when it is your shorts leaves one miserable and out of sorts. As water creatures (60% water) we are in a love hate relationship with the very element that gives us life. As always thank you for taking us along. 🥳🤭🫣
Good fun decisions. Fun watching you decide have travelled making 1 to 6 decisions at once. Your shower bag is a great idea. Better than the drop the cloths at the bottom of the shower for a fast wash. Good fun/hard work/Good Karma your way.
YAY!! Ding Ding 🛎! Heads up.. The channel is a year old and at the end of every video title shows which day I’m on. Season 1 is on a gravel bike from Boise to the Canadian border and back. Season 2 (current uploads in progress) is on a mountain bike doing a Idaho Hot Springs Trails loop.
Hey Naomi, Jan and I just finished watching all your videos. What a great adventure along with such excellent story telling. We hope you are doing fine and continue to grace us with your special and original take on seeing the world. You're one of a kind. Take care and stay safe, Steve & Jan
Well that’s super cool to hear! I’m thrilled you found them enjoyable! Truly kind letting me know warming my heart while adding a huge smile to my day!
Hi Naomi! I've been dealing with trigeminal neuralgia for the past few weeks and it's next to impossible to look at the cpu screen for more than a few minutes at a time. Very cool diner, maybe pancakes later 😋 That bike mechanic broke a bike shops law of decency by not tending to a traveler. Travelers got top priority at my shop because they're on the road and it doesn't make sense to get a motel for a day or two for an hour or so on the bike stand! You're first, covid or not. At least you got to use the hose and brushes. Sorry about that rash on a big adventure,... bummer. Oops, Pun intended 😜 So glad you don't let Murphy ruin your good times.
So sorry to hear of your struggle. I am honored my bikepacking channel made it to your “worth watching” list. At the time it made sense but after the trip looking back and comments others made yeah you’re right. Especially because I even said just five minutes to listen I didn’t even tell him he needed to fix it. Feel better SOON my friend!
Yay, it's Thursday and time for a Naomi FIX! Yeah, I love those spin dryers. Ketchum was your "civilization" stop (note quotes!), but pricey. Thanks as always for sharing the ups, the downs, and the sideways. XOXO
Bike touring tip for butt chafe, Brooks B-17 saddle and Patagonia mountain bike shorts commando style. For long touring days cycling short pads always get wet and chafe when you're on the bike all day, whereas thin light stretchy polyester shorts dry quick and breath well. Pick some with a very fine weave, four way stretch, super comfy with a Brooks.
I have a Selle Anatomica that I used for season one but this trip I was trying a different saddle but I’m also on dual suspension with cushy tires. I had two style pads -one are the inserts from lose baggy mountain bike shorts the other is your typical road bike padded shorts. Both performed the same but they were not Patagonia. Always enjoy hearing about others experience. I’ll check them out!
Your vids continue to ROCK most excellently The outfit was awesome. Have you considered commercializing your fashion design? Love the ingenuity of your packing. You are the queen of "necessity is the mother of invention". I need to get one of those bucket things you have. Thanks for sharing your decision making process. You always reach sound decisions. I am now putting the Y on my list for showers, etc. I am a frequent backyard camper. I also have success with camping on church grounds. That little town looked so cool. When you started talking about the beautiful people, I started singing Marilyn Manson's Beautiful People. Keep riding your ride. Oh yeah, Wet gear sucks!
Another great post!! 👏 Oh ya…me the fashion chick! 🤣 Although if I had at least 100,000 subscribers I may actually be able to pull it off! I’ll hire you as my marketing guru! Someone asked for the bucket link and I’m going to find it and put it in the video description then I’ll get a few pennies if people hit the link. Great song!
Well aren’t you sweet to add a smile to my day! Great news…I got a signal from my air conditioned car to a cafe wi-if signal (No room inside) and am uploading Day 8 now so should be live in an hour. 👏🍦
$20 for a day pass at the Y is outrageous. I work at a parks and rec gym in Meridian Idaho and a day pass here is only $4. Unfortunately if you were in Meridian you would basically be home and would have no need for our showers. If anyone out there is just passing through the Boise area and want a cheap shower though check out the Meridian Homecourt facility.
I agree with you. At the time I felt the same way but was desperate. SO WONDERFUL of you to share such helpful information for others who read comments! 👏 I've been in St. George but now heading somewhere November.
I added it in the description but will put it here as well but it may get flagged. It’s not my exact one but it’s the closest I could find. amzn.to/3QCioga
I’m sick. Just a head cold with constant sneezing that’s knocking me out. I also don’t have Wi-Fi where I rent a room and rely on local cafe’s to edit and upload but the very few here have been full due to 98° days. I should be able to get Day 8 up this Thursday. Thanks for checking in! 🤗
Naomi, so after your 2 tours, if you had to pick one bike, would it be the Salsa Cutthroat or a Mt bike? I go though this in my head all the time and am wondering your thoughts. Doug
Salsa Cutthroat Apex 1 but I’d swap out the tires for a tire you’ll see in the next video - next week (just couldn’t get the editing done in time for tmrw), and maybe a set of mustache handlebars if I was going to be using it on a lot of long hilly gravel/rocky rides. I think it’s the last video of season one where I go over the Cutthroat and share my problem with the drop bar style.
@@HumanontheLoose , totally understand. I rode a Surly ERC on that route and the White Rim Trail in Utah with 29x3s. While it was comfy, it was killer climbing with it. My next off-road tour I used my Salsa Marrakesh with 700x47s and kicked butt. It has drop bars but I am thinking about adding the Surly Maloko bars as an alt bar to the Marrakesh
Was this the last day of your trip? I thought I heard you say "the last day", but I thought NAHHHHH, that can't be right! Hope you are still pedaling along, or perhaps dreaming up another "Burgers, Bikes, and Butts" adventure. (Now I want a burger.) xo
Hey Naomi You know if they sell just the chamois pads so you can throw them in anything you are wearing? I absolutely hate bike shorts.....wearing.....washing......drying....making sure I have a pair in my car at all times. Changing from shorts into another pair of shorts just to go for a ride seems freaking pointless
I had two types of padded shorts…thin inserts from a baggy pair of mountain bike shorts and your typical road bike style. I never had that problem even through my 51 day trip in season one but there was so much rain, moisture in the air and then sweating and wet fabric - yeah a recipe for disaster.
This is now the butt rash episode. Clean Bike N'Bod is very classy clickbait territory, and the opening scene with leggings will be a fan pleaser. Epic levels of mind streaming thought trains no thought left out - none - not one! I dare anyone to find more than 60 seconds of video without any verbal communication in this 16 minute video. My money is on less than 30 seconds. Any light drinkers wanting to use this as a drinking game use the work breakfast. Naomi has all new levels of chattiness prowess. I dare say though that I really think she's got more there. She is holding back IMO. I say there is a good chance maybe 25% that she has been with someone that fell asleep, and she kept on talking. Please someone I dare you to put subtitles on this video. "I don't know what I am doing; or Do I? I can't remember now." Note to the production crew that was epic dialog right there; you nailed it. Ketchum bike shop you have been officially dissed but respectfully.
Definitely need to ask production about handing over video title creation to a Michael Smith. Your last quote was my favorite line. Yep - caught on video - an honest glimpse inside my mind. Brace yourself - I do talk MORE. Yep… I cut out all the “Uhh” “Uhmm” “and so” “like” so at least we’ve got that going for us. 🤣🤪 Another fantastic and truly fun post! Thank you!
@@HumanontheLoose I think you're adorable, and your honesty connects with your fans. Curated lives may seem cool to a lot of people, but they can be fake and eventually boring. I was laughing while watching this video, as I had to remind myself that you were on a challenging bike trip. Lots of people are processing that many thoughts, but they either don't admit it or internalize all of it. I would tell you no to overthink things, but we've crossed that line by a wide margin LOL. I think that we've seen your superpower.

Im curious how worried you are about leaving your bike for such long periods? Its an expensive bike but even more than that, all your stuff, and trip would be over if it were stolen. I dont enjoy the towns nearly enough because I wont leave my bike more than to run in, place a take out order and wait outside....
I guess in my mind there are so many expensive bikes to choose to steal I can’t imagine choosing a heavy bike/bags attached all over it. They have no idea whether I have a tracker planted in a bag. Also… in these isolated towns it’s not as easy to drive off down an alleyway through a busy city with tons of people and cars everywhere. That’s why I don’t worry about it but I do get bike insurance when I take these trips. It covers me from my bike to my bags to my bike clothes even if I fall and they rip and it’s only $220 for the year.
@@HumanontheLoose thanks. I called about insurance and it was ridiculously priced for me. I’m off on my first trip and thinking I can’t let the bike out of my site and won’t enjoy the town stops. Hiking is one small dirty smelly backpack that no one wants…..
Try Velosurance. After they quote you for a year, since that’s the basic set up, ask what happens when you cancel after you return from your trip. You would get some money back I don’t know how much. This would help lower your cost. And as you know you can just walk with your bike and lock it right outside whatever place you’re in with a clear view. Grab a one dollar rain poncho from the drugstore and drape it over your bike so no one knows what’s under it and if they go to steal it it would be quite an eye catcher. There’s too many expensive bikes that people leave out that are easy to steal for someone to mess with a covered bikepacking bike.
@@HumanontheLoose thanks for the advice. I appreciate it I have all lightweight backpacking gear that weighs almost nothing and my 2 pound U lock! Enjoy your trip before summer is over!
A bike shop that won't squeeze in a bike packer is a crap bike shop that you don't want working on your bike anyway. That really makes me mad. I don't know any cyclist that wouldn't give up their repair spot for a packer.
At the time I understood since he said there were only two techs available in the whole town - this trip was last year. Looking back he could’ve at least taken three minutes to just spin the wheels and listen since he knew I was headed towards Stanley where there’s nothing.
I hate everything that is a new fashion, so I hate "bike packing" because it aint honestly more than that. Get yourself a good old rack on your backwheel and the good old panniers like they did it for decades. You will have more than enough space to store whatever you want. And you show everybody you re an invidual who gives a shit about the latest b&llshit. Thats at least what I am doin😅🤣😂by the way, the thing under/behind your saddle, we call it assrocket, here in Germany...ARSCHRAKETE
Lol, to funny and true. Now saying that, after decades of cycle touring I’ve just completed the trailer for my new Ebike, first trip next week, it’s beyond heavy, but I’ll be comfortable and that’s all that counts at 60! Btw, I still wear slip on shoes and I swear by wind River shorts. Cheers, loved the comment,
That bike set up wouldn’t have worked for me on this trip because I was planning to go up into the steep mountains on single track and I wouldn’t want that weight hanging off the sides. I like the minimalist streamline setup. I can’t really comment on what’s in fashion because I don’t pay attention even though it might look like I do - and I do agree. 🤣 If I was going to design saddlebags I would steal that name! I used an “ass rocket” last year Season 1 but this ride is a rack with a big round sack and I freaking LOVED it! It was my not-in-fashion design! I’d never go back to an “ass rocket.”
Thank you!! That’s a great idea but for this particular situation with so much moisture in the air, wet fabric, sweat - I think it would’ve made it worse.
Brilliant.
Your amazing
Gosh…umm…a humbled thank you!
One cannot help smiling and feeling good while watching your videos. What a wonderful personality.
What a wonderful thing to tell me!! Thank you!!
Ahhhh, another great adventure captured. The eggs looked delicious and what a cute Starbucks, all the ones I have seen are sterile and commercial. You always find a way, street smarts win again!! ❤️🤩

Gosh - 20yrs in what seems to be an area of paradise! Lucky you!
how to dry shirts etc. put both arms through shirt "body" and wave up and down till dry.
Voile straps - get some,they're the best.
Sleeping bag - Valandre makes great bags for a reasonable price
I love Voile Straps! I replaced the velcro straps with Voile straps on my RocBros gear. Voile grips better and doesn't rub and scratch the bike frame.
🤣🤣🤣 That would’ve been a great visual in a video!
I have some but ended up using the bungee because I needed the hook part that attached to the rack and they worked out beautifully.
Cool - i’ll go check them out!
*sings* I just want some pancakes!
Then doesn't get pancakes. 🤣

It covers me from my bike to my bags to my bike clothes even if I fall and they rip and it’s only $220 for the year.
@@HumanontheLoose thanks. I called about insurance and it was ridiculously priced for me.
I’m off on my first trip and thinking I can’t let the bike out of my site and won’t enjoy the town stops.
Hiking is one small dirty smelly backpack that no one wants…..
Try Velosurance. After they quote you for a year, since that’s the basic set up, ask what happens when you cancel after you return from your trip. You would get some money back I don’t know how much. This would help lower your cost. And as you know you can just walk with your bike and lock it right outside whatever place you’re in with a clear view. Grab a one dollar rain poncho from the drugstore and drape it over your bike so no one knows what’s under it and if they go to steal it it would be quite an eye catcher. There’s too many expensive bikes that people leave out that are easy to steal for someone to mess with a covered bikepacking bike.
@@HumanontheLoose thanks for the advice. I appreciate it
I have all lightweight backpacking gear that weighs almost nothing and my 2 pound U lock!
Enjoy your trip before summer is over!
A bike shop that won't squeeze in a bike packer is a crap bike shop that you don't want working on your bike anyway. That really makes me mad. I don't know any cyclist that wouldn't give up their repair spot for a packer.
At the time I understood since he said there were only two techs available in the whole town - this trip was last year. Looking back he could’ve at least taken three minutes to just spin the wheels and listen since he knew I was headed towards Stanley where there’s nothing.
You are definitely a roommate issue..
🤣🤣🤣 Indeeeed!
I hate everything that is a new fashion, so I hate "bike packing" because it aint honestly more than that. Get yourself a good old rack on your backwheel and the good old panniers like they did it for decades. You will have more than enough space to store whatever you want. And you show everybody you re an invidual who gives a shit about the latest b&llshit. Thats at least what I am doin😅🤣😂by the way, the thing under/behind your saddle, we call it assrocket, here in Germany...ARSCHRAKETE
Lol, to funny and true.
Now saying that, after decades of cycle touring I’ve just completed the trailer for my new Ebike, first trip next week, it’s beyond heavy, but I’ll be comfortable and that’s all that counts at 60!
Btw, I still wear slip on shoes and I swear by wind River shorts.
Cheers, loved the comment,
That bike set up wouldn’t have worked for me on this trip because I was planning to go up into the steep mountains on single track and I wouldn’t want that weight hanging off the sides. I like the minimalist streamline setup. I can’t really comment on what’s in fashion because I don’t pay attention even though it might look like I do - and I do agree.
🤣 If I was going to design saddlebags I would steal that name! I used an “ass rocket” last year Season 1 but this ride is a rack with a big round sack and I freaking LOVED it! It was my not-in-fashion design! I’d never go back to an “ass rocket.”
I like the way you do the route on the map. Use some lotion on your cycling shorts chamois if you have one🚵.
Thank you!! That’s a great idea but for this particular situation with so much moisture in the air, wet fabric, sweat - I think it would’ve made it worse.
