I stopped at that coffee shop during my GAP trip (24:24). The barista is quite the accomplished artist and has a whole gallery of her artwork in the back room.

Thank you! You are very kind. I am very glad folks are enjoying it. You may find my cross country ride videos (especially the one with the voiceover) interesting as well. It highlights a ride I made in 2020, during Covid. I left my home in San Francisco, and rode my bike 3,800 miles to Yorktown, Virginia.

Congrats on the ride, great video. Your film is insightful as I still need to continue my 101 adventure, southbound from Crescent City to San Fran. next year. To add onto my oregon 101 adventure. Driving south of Crescent City a few years ago, I recall steep hills, w minimal shoulder, but that’s the 101.

@ofery.757 5 ай бұрын

Thank you so much for the kind words. You are correct as to the limited shoulders… however, with proper lights, high visibility vest, and a mirror, one can minimize/manage the risk 😅

@@ofery.757 I've done the C&O Towpath several times, in both directions, great ride! Haven't done the Allegheny yet. In DC, there's a swanky bike friendly Hotel at the end of the C&O at the Key Bridge that I stayed at. Rolled my dirty loaded bike right up to the front desk and got a room, and they seemed to think it very natural for someone covered in dried mud with a touring bike to show up.

Sorry you felt that the video was tarnished. My intent was not to present one political leaning or another, simply to show, as objectively as I could, what one would see along the way.

@Joe-g3m6g 5 ай бұрын

Sorry, I didn’t see it as you intended it to be seen. I saw similar things the first 3 days of RAGBRAI. I also took pictures of such subject matter but chose not to post them on social media. Thus avoiding negative feelings and conversation. Just my point of view. Nothing more. It is a wonderful way to travel. To get a one on one personal contact with the environment you’re biking through. Happy Trails

@ofery.757 5 ай бұрын

The music at 14:00 should sound familiar as it is "the gael" from the famous movie "the last mohicans". While scary at times, I am not so sure as to the claims made about the logging truck drivers. I suspect that they are hard working individuals with no affiliation to an OFAC restricted entity :-)

@LorentJalabert 5 ай бұрын

@@ofery.757 thanks. In the 70s and 80s in Humboldt there was a life and death feud between logging companies and environmentalists. the truck drivers categorized bikers as environmentalists and terrorized them every chance they got, by speeding up to and close passing bikes riding through their territory . Extremely intimidating experience. They have been ordered to stop that by corp mgmt since then

@ofery.757 5 ай бұрын

Thank you for the kind words. The bike is actually a Poseidon X. As to upgrades - very little... I exchanged the saddle to another one I had (an old but comfortable Specialized saddle) and attached the front fork cages that I made out of leg braces. To see more about how I made those - go to 46:52 in the video.

Sweet! I went the other way,.. Portland to San Fran! Some of my best memories! And one fellow who is no longer a close riding mate ‘cuz of differing approaches to riding…. another who became one of my dearest. What a wonderful trip! I totally brought too much food and gear! Up or down the coast, you need hardly anything with all the amenities everywhere.

Well, going the other way, is the smart way to go. I had no choice... :-). You may enjoy my cross-country ride videos - in 2020, I rode from my home in SF to Yorktown, Virginia - a fantastic ride.

1. The theme song is called “Iowa Corn Song” by Percy Faith. We're mighty proud of old Des Moines, Yo-ho, yo-ho, yo-ho, Come I-O-WAY and with us join, Yo-ho-yo-ho-yo-ho. We're from I-o-way, I-o-way, State of all the land, Joy on ev'ry hand. We're from I-o-way, I-o-way, That's where the tall corn grows. 2.

What day was it when RAGBRAI riders stopped at our friends house near Lorimor, tried to break into their house, went through a car parked in the driveway, urinated on their property and then left their trash all over the yard after giving the video camera the finger? Let me think.

There are miscreants in every group of course. They may have been using Ragbrai as a cover for sinister intentions. It seems a bit odd that people would come to a Iowa bicycle event for criminal activities. But who knows I could be totally wrong. ATB
