[@gerwinboschloo4856]

Great video. Thank you for sharing. Great te relive my trip from last year! Greetings from the Netherlands!!

[@MarciaRenly-v2p]

Oh how I love your great videos. Interviews are always so interesting, scenery is lovely to see. Take care and will be watching for the next. #8 was so special.

My friend Margie from RV Ashs in April posted a link to your channel on her Facebook. She met you at the campground today. I'm enjoying your videos!

[@ElissaThomas-g5e]

Love the vids featuring people you meet ❤

[@RoryZ23]

I knew you were going to start getting into these hills over here! Keep it up brother, you got this!!

[@TheFreewheelinNomad]

Another amazing video man keep up the great work. Also, have you thought about getting a mirror? 0:55

[@HarveyFunkenstein]

Great video!

Missouri is brutal! UPS and downs! ALS pla ce was such a surprise! You’re probably through Kentucky now but a wonderful state!

[@peterbaskind9872]

Yay. I could finally read the model on the top tube. A Cannondale T2000. Pardon me for geeking out. I build my own bikes and I love old Cannondales. I can’t figure out the drive train. 105, maybe? 8 speed? Not many folks tour on aluminum. It seems to work for you, though.

[@somethinglikebike]

Yep, old 105. Worked great!

You're in my neck of the woods. The running event is called "The Last Boy Scout." It's an annual event that draws in a crowd. Ferne Clyffe is amazing. I hiked there with this girl about 6 years ago, and now she's my wife. If you can ever make it back here to Southern Illinois, we have even more cool hiking spots that you'd love!

[@somethinglikebike]

Beautiful area, thanks for reminding me of the name of that event. Truly crazy people out there!

[@philo5096]

Great vid, did you have to pay anything at those hostels. Thanx. Btw GET A MIRROR!

[@heshamshehab6502]

Can you make a video on your bike and the stuff you use on the road please?

[@shadyyyyVR]

Which drone are you using for your shots?

[@cognitivedissonancecamp6326]

Surprised you didn't tell that delivery man to drop his location and you just ride to him.

[@briansmith8470]

Where did you get the maps?

[@wanderbybike]

Western Kentucky is great; eastern Kentucky, not so great. 😃 It’s rather eye opening and sad.

[@ABLLC]

how do i find out where these bike hostels are located?

[@somethinglikebike]

Using the Adventure Cycling maps.

[@abingtonmg]

I am assuming the phone number your calling are on the ACA map. Are you finding that most of them are still valid?

[@somethinglikebike]

Most of them, yes - here and there I've found a disconnected number. Maybe 10% of them are no good, they update the map data once a year I've heard.

That’s too bad about your mic. I’ve never ever had a positive experience with FedEx either. Never.
