You continually expand my perception of what is possible!

[@kelliesharpe1067]

💚 every video…every single video is amazing. I didn’t know if I’d enjoy the cycling videos like I do the hiking ones since I don’t cycle…but here I sit, amazed again💚

[@kimcrites6245]

My dog awakened me at 5:30ish this morning. I let her out and made me a pot of coffee. Turned on KZbin and found your next video. What a great way to start the day! Hot coffee and the wander women! I smiled through the whole thing! Thanks for sharing! ✌🏼🤟🏼🚴🏼‍♀️

[@kentgoldings]

I live along the Hudson Valley Rail Trail just east of New Paltz. I’ve ridden only as far as Hopewell Junction. I always have wondered what would happen, if I just kept going. Glad you enjoyed it. PS, you not only passed about 50 yards from where I live near New Paltz, you also rode right by the building where I work in lower Manhattan. You have great video of the passing. I should have expected that, I can see the trail from my office.

[@maryjanebyrne9594]

WOW WOW WOW! Being an “Out West” gal those trails are what my dreams are made of🚴‍♀️ Thank you so very much for bringing us along on your epic adventures- When watching your videos I often wonder if y’all truly realize how much joy and inspiration you bring to so many people. You are always very appreciative of the kindness you receive along your trips but I also want you to know the time and effort you put into your videos is very much appreciated.

[@Mtnsunshine]

Wow! What a finale! The Big Apple 🍎😄. So. Many. People! Beautiful and fascinating and exciting, but what a shock to the system after days of quiet trail riding. 😆. Can’t wait to see how the train ride went and what adventures await in DC! Thanks so, so much for taking us along. 🙏💗

[@Johann-4354]

We're amazed how blessed you are finding accommodations and the wonderful people that help you ladies out along the way. Somebody up there loves you girls. Wonderful trip. So glad you got to use your bikes these last few seasons. Certainly has been beautiful scenery. Thank you for sharing your adventuring with us. You're our favorite U-Tube channel. Love ya, Johann and Sara.

[@carolemurray4532]

Kristi you said it, I love my life! You gals are living your best life for sure. I love watching your smiles as you experience the world around you. It is so wonderful that so many people are reaching out to help you along the way. Certainly reassures my soul to see that generosity is not dead.

[@mickreid7153]

What a fab trip you've had! And decent weather too. Thanks for taking us along, much appreciated! 👏👏👏🖖👍👊😊

[@Mtnsunshine]

What an outstanding area to bike through! Great trail, cute Americana towns with historical homes, amazing people and sunlight coming through unbelievably beautiful green tree canopies. 💗👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. This winter, it will be fun to revisit these videos to confirm that the beauty of summer and autumn are just a few months away.

[@rkatrails]

What a gas! Can't believe you guys walking those bikes on the sidewalk with all those people. The heart of New York is certainly a high energy atmosphere!

[@helenvwalker7919]

I have absolutely loved this series. This is the first time I have ever thought about wanting to go to New York!❤

[@alethearobinson8132]

Really enjoying your adventures in real time. Love how you acknowledge the wonderful, giving people you meet on the way. Then finish with words of encouragement and positivity.🤗🚴‍♀️

[@evapierce1090]

Just amazing. From the cutest little towns to NYC. That Inn on the Hudson was really something else. It looked like living art. What awesome people you connected with again. To see NYC at the street level was very cool. I bet it felt so crazy. This was just so much fun.😆

[@tessazywiec4992]

Best video yet!! Love the scenery, the people & the culture. Thank you for sharing!

[@morgaynelove9327]

Greetings from the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state! So enjoying your enthusiasm and biking into New York! Bright Blessings on your continued journeys! Thank for sharing! 💛🌻💛🌻💛

[@karenboatsman8251]

Time square underwear guy, M&M store and 911 Memorial… “we all have our priorities I guess”. I’m still laughing.

[@Mountaingirl1876]

I’ve never been to NY and since I’m from CO, its so nice to see there is soooo much more to NY than the city. Loved that inn and the river, the trees and the cute farm stands. I must put this on my list! ❤❤❤

[@claramullen]

Wow that was an absolutely wonderful trip. Thank you Ladies for taking us along.

[@ramonapuckett3059]

Great video! Loved seeing all the beautiful scenery and y’all riding into New York City like a boss! Unbelievable! Thank y’all so much ❤

[@lisarobertson7011]

really inspiring to see the kindness and generosity of the people you met along the way. Great adventure - thanks for sharing !

[@kathybeardslee3967]

You guys are absolutely fearless and just so positive!

[@diane1959]

I just love your videos. Your are so positive and joyful. I smile throughout your videos. Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@vickiebartnicki4216]

An amazing 11 day bike adventure. Thanks for taking us along. Blessings and safe riding

[@doryrice4906]

So glad you met Carol. I'm watching her hike the John Muir Trail. Glad she got home safe. Enjoy Washington DC!

[@sandrap3047]

Never a dull moment with the Wander Women! Where was the Naked Cowboy? Neat story about the sweet old lady leaving her Inn to her construction worker! Guess he was fixing more than the Inn! I know, that was bad. 😊

[@Golfpt62]

Loved loved loved this last video. OMg walking the bikes by Times Square is amazing.

[@karenkinkler9421]

You ladies are always inspiring! I’ve enjoyed watching this series, while riding a stationary bike. 🚴🏻‍♀️Looking forward to DC!

[@anitadavis2733]

I love the energy. Can feel the joy of your journey. Thanks for sharing.

[@florencetate9109]

You gals are blessed!! Wonderful! I love your adventures! Keep on Moving!❤❤❤Be safe!

[@nancyb.7541]

So fun to see you in NYC after all these years when it seemed you were always surrounded by mountains and vistas. You ended up in Battery Park and I could see where my father's fireboat, Marine Co. 1, was stationed back in the 1970's. You have definitely inspired me with this trip.

[@greencheek5056]

I can't believe I missed you! I haven't been following anyone on KZbin for a few months and just saw you were on the Empire State Trail about 15 miles from me. My fault entirely. Glad you are meeting so many Trail Angels. Keep moving and safe travels!

[@derbywinner6316]

The last part of the trail getting to New York city reminds me the Chicago lake front trail , chaotic,busy but great to ride. Thank you for sharing your journey 😁

[@susanrogers3350]

What an amazing adventure and accomplishment! You women rock!

[@mykirbs2002]

This was really fun to ride along with you. I’m a cyclist and those bike ways look so fun, NYC looks so fun too but I don’t like crowded places 😣 thank you for sharing 💕

[@kimberlygoulbourne883]

You ladies are amazing!! Thank you so much for always sharing your journey with us!

[@loricollins3163]

I loved everything about this video! You are so inspiring! Thank you for sharing your joy!

[@judyrobinson9556]

Amazing video! You made it to the Big Apple! I'm a biker and have biked several hundred miles at a time, but I dont think I could bike thru NYC. Too nerve-wracking for me, but it was beautiful, especially at night. I lived in Upstate NY for a few years and drove into the City once, thru Bronx and Queens, over the George Washington Bridge, down 5th Ave, Radio City Music Hall, past Central Park, and thru Manhattan. It was Christmas time and 5th Ave had Christmas trees all down the avenue all lit up. It was a beautiful drive, but the traffic was something else. You guys met so many nice people on this trail who were so nice to give you lodging, meals and general kindness. Beautiful scenery along the way. An exceptional video and exceptional adventure! Will look forward to your DC video! Take care.

[@dorothypinckney885]

So enjoyed watching your journey. I live in the Hudson Valley and enjoy those bike trails regularly. Hoped you enjoyed the scenery as much as I do as a resident . Looking forward to when you reach the C&O canal, also fun. Keep on pedaling ladies!

[@janetantill3312]

I am so happy to see your blessings unfold every day.God bless you guys

[@musingwithreba9667]

This was a great trip to follow along, I can only imagine the fun you had along the way, it looked beautiful. I love NYC, I've been a few times and each visit it's just a little bit less intimidating 🤣 you're lucky to have each other to spend the night in the train station together. I once spent the night in the Buffalo bus station, solo! And let me tell you I got no rest! 😳 but it was an adventure and I lived to tell the tale! Enjoy New York!

[@josephrogers1864]

having fun watching you guys...love seeing how you enjoy you adventures..😃

[@claramullen]

That is fantastic part of traveling around the wonderful people you meet.

[@glendacrouch1877]

That was absolutely fantastic! I haven’t been to New York since September 2002! The beauty 😊you showed us, was only a work in progress at that time. 😢 But somethings never change those horns! Honk honk honk lol I was so fortunate, I got to stay 10 days in a absolutely beautiful Hotel 2 blocks from Time Square! I love New York too!

[@stanthemanhikes2965]

Hi ladies. So sorry I missed you in NYC I would have loved to spend time with you there. So glad you got to spend time with my friend Scrambles (Carol). I will eventually see you again at some point 😊!!!

[@sharonstranzl3733]

That was such a fun video, I so love your spirit….cannot wait to see where your next adventure takes you…thank you for letting me follow along!

[@douglaspohl1827]

NYC up the Hudson River to Waterville then on the Erie Canal to the Great Lakes to Chicago then down to Mobile Alabama on my yacht was the very best segment on the over 5,000 mile Great Loop... get out there... find your wild! Love going along on your wonderful life changing adventure... You're the best!

[@lesliemcgee8318]

[@gerilosiniecki421]

AMAZING, UNBELIEVABLE. Biking in the Bronx, you guys are gutsy. What an awesome trip. You do meet the nicest people, but, nice begets nice. Annette, how many pounds of M&M's did you get for the journey. Sue looks like she's having fun. Enjoyed our visit to N.Y. Thanks. Take care, be safe.

[@bonniecramp8113]

All I can say is...WOW!!! Crazy Amazing!! 😄😁😆!!!

[@donnadevine3069]

Recently found your channel and have been enjoying your adventures. When you came through Washington State on the Great American Rails to Trails Adventure, you met a friend of mine, Kim, in Ellensburg. She is the one that told me about you gals. Just finished watching episode three of your Empire Trail bike ride. Absolutely beautiful scenery and quaint little towns. I did wonder though when you arrived in New York City and were making your way to Battery Park, it appeared you were riding through red lights & stop signs. Can you explain the traffic signal rules for biking in New York City please. Again, congratulations. 🎉 Donna

[@vanomadcyclist3474]

I just finished Syracuse to Albany on the Erie Canal rail trail with 3 friends. Amazing ride on the trails with such kindness all around. The hardest part for me was the pedestrian bridge in Albany to get to the train station where we left our cars….. did you go over that… I’ll be honest I had to walk that one…LOL

[@wanderwomenkristyannette5021]

We did do that. Kicked our butts.

[@Mrs.KatsCrafting]

I wrote down the name of the inn. Hope everyone does. If you are ever in the area please support Tim for what he did for our favorite girls. It looked beautiful. I love how the North preserves all their buildings instead of tearing them down for modern glass and metal. Oh WOW, Hopewell Junction is where my Uncle lived and died and many of my ancestors are in that area as well. Oh, I wish you had filmed some of Brewster too. This has to be my fave of all your videos of all time. I have been meaning to ask with all the altitude changes how is Kristy's heart rate doing?

[@vaherlihy]

Great Sunday morning ride with you all. Thanks 🚴

[@FishMH]

You guys there's a bike trail (16+mile loop,)that goes all around Manhattan Island. 2 blocks from train station (Grand Central Station)get on..ride past floating bodies ( only kidding) East river , Ferry,you could throw a stone to NJ go to benches across water from Statue of Liberty swing around Wall St., all the museum's, famous piers on Hudson can get off anytime, streets right there Easy squeezy. BUT bring 2 locks to lock up,1 to lock both wheels to frame,one lock to lock bike to pole, rack, fence wherever. Don't leave anything on bike (computer, lights ) I used to bring bike on train from CT and ride. Have to go a million times to know it well. Good Luck

[@trailsofanoldrunner]

A delightful finale

[@martymargatt6000]

What a wonderful video of your ride.. The three of you ladies are so honest/matter of fact and unpretentious... so refreshing! Do you recall how many hours you spend riding per day and/or how many miles you did? Looking forward to more of your adventures.

[@wanderwomenkristyannette5021]

We did around 50 miles a day.

[@christinewinters9200]

Love your videos! If you decide to bike in Ohio would love to meet and be of assistance!

[@sharonthomas4856]

Did you get to meet the singing cowboy

[@lindablack7438]

Where did you fond the sun visors on your helmets

[@wanderwomenkristyannette5021]

They are called Da Brim. We ordered them on line.

[@lindablack7438]

Thank you

[@joanoconnor8552]

I just did this portion of the ride from Albany to NYC and wondered why you didn't complain about the Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge which was hella scary. Then I saw that you went on the protected pedestrian part rather than the bicycle lane on the north part of the bridge. I don't know how you crossed over to the the correct side of the road after you crossed the bridge unless you rode against traffic for a while. That was not a very safe or pleasant section at all. 1.5 miles of bridge riding on a narrow bike lane with grates every 20 ft that took up 80% of the lane.

[@katieboyle3921]

In a couple of weeks those trails will be inflamed with color!

[@cindysmith721]

It’s Sunday where are you now
