    Glad to see you back on tour Forest. I’ve always appreciated your humble approach. I don’t think I’ve ever heard you complain on any of your videos. Very refreshing from most of the cycling content on the tubes.

    I'm impressed. When I was younger and bicycle touring a 100 km day was pretty standard but that was on pavement. Now, I can't imagine a 100 km day on my fat bike even unloaded! I live in Calgary so I know some of the trails you showed in the Little Elbow area.

    I'm always absolutely fascinated by mountains and their illusion of being smaller than they really are. I'm not sure if its just because im watching a video. But look at 4:01 The mountains really dont look all that big, until you start to look at the tree's in the distance, you suddenly get an idea of just how huge they really are.

    "Looks like it's going to pass" cut to rain storm :-) ...90% rideable...50% rideable...40% rideable...I'm glad you can keep your sense of humor faced with that awesome effort. Too bad solar panel and battery technology hasn't progressed to the point where you could wear a flexible solar panel on your back/on the bike that had enough juice to keep an ebike battery powered up so you could get some help on those hills. Keep ridin'... maybe in a few years...

    • @forestyforest
      @forestyforest  5 років тому +7

      Yup just keeping the phone charged was a lot of effort. We are still in the dark ages of battery technology unfortunately. But i can't imagine touring these places before gps existed. I imagine eventually an app with every bikepacking trail highlighted, then you just piece together your own routes on the fly.
