@@icpchad thanks! Just trying to make every day count

@@dominickdepaolo6668 I love that section- proper sketch on skinny tires!

It’s too bad the connection to District 5 road is now blocked

Thanks!

Thanks! I stealth camped in that spot - took great care to LNT and make sure it was left better than when I got there. There are some camp grounds along the route that are just a short detour.

Sorry I missed this. I used a bike bag, it was horrible. I just purchased the Dakine Bike Roller Bag for my trip to California next month. I plan on doing a new video after that trip. I find a bag storage spot, or talk to the hotel where I'm staying the night before the trip. Sometimes they allow you to leave bags for a couple of days. It can be hit or miss, but usually you'll find something. In Europe, near the train stations, there is usually a long term storage facility that has lockers. The lockers range in size that can accommodate most bags - but not boxes or cases.

Thank you!

Thanks Mark!

Thanks for watching! My travel with bike game deserves another review - after I got home from this trip I made the commitment to never do a trip like that again with the bike bag/luggage I used. Back to the drawing board for that one for sure.

@@MTBBen603 Ha! Well maybe you can teach us what NOT to do! I think that is my most nervous-inducing part of going somewhere with my bike!

@@travelspot06 I get it! There isn’t a ton of information out there about it.

Yes

@@MTBBen603 oh damn! Where at? I’m from henniker.

Sounds like a great trip. Thanks for the advice!

Thank you! Would love to go back and do it again

That’s cool! What a great route, jealous you live right there.

Thanks

Very cool, thank you

Yes, you should be fine. A few spots might be a bit difficult if your running narrower than 40c tires.

@@MTBBen603 Thanks! Looked like a great time and a great route. Might try to do it in September. Love the video.

@@paulmchugh2128 thanks! Enjoy the ride. Would do it again in a heartbeat

Awesome, thank you!

I really like my sweetroll and have zero issues with packing all I need for my trips with current configurations. I’d be a bit concerned using a larger system on my H-bar that I would load it up and add too much weight up high, especially given the swing weight when riding singletrack. I’m curious to try your method with a harness instead tho and see what happens.

@@MTBBen603 yeah try it you see over years i used many system i mean many lol since i did that setup it works great

Wow! That sounds like a great trip. We’ve been having an amazing time so far on our adventure.

Thanks for the sub! We are currently on day 2, hanging out in a small shop eating chocolate and drinking a Coke! Ride had been fantastic today

I’m 100% in love with my Surly. Enjoy Spain!

It does, yes. It needs to be rolled up tightly, but I’ve had no issues with it being fully loaded, partially loaded, or empty. Thanks for watching! Glad it’s helpful.

@@MTBBen603 good stuff. i was overthinking here. the trip you are planning is on my todo, probably this year. its not far from where i live in germany. keep us updated, appreciate it!

Thank you!

Thank you! It was a fun day

@@MTBBen603 I can tell!

Thanks man!

Sure did! Between my phone and gps I was able to ride this trail back to the right one.

Thanks Jeremy. I have a lot planned for this, this was just my first go with my current set-up. I have a gimbal that I'm eyeing up that is highly recommended by POV MTBers, but my fullface has a built-in under the visor helmet mount for GP. The editing software I use is Adobe Premiere Pro.
