[@mhernandez4576]

Wind in your face....the sound of the river... the views...take it all in!!♥️ @9:03

[@TravelingThru222]

Such a great time in Colorado, Cant wait to go back.

[@mariobotelho32]

This is getting better and better. I just love the west. That canyon is a great introduction to the rockies.

[@TravelingThru222]

That canyon was amazing, Thanks for watching.

[@smoke9696]

Nice dude i also love cycling Its the best moment for my life

[@TheLankyCyclist]

The mountains are calling… I get it, every time I’m out there Both my wife and I think about moving. “Every corner gets better and better.” Couldn’t agree more! Love your enthusiasm in this episode. Ride on.

[@TravelingThru222]

Its really something else out in those mountains, Im trying to find a reason to get back out there this year. Lets go halves on a piece of land.

[@RosemarieM400]

wow nice. it so cool that you got there on your bike !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TravelingThru222]

Yes it was! It still amazes me how far you can ride a bike.

[@TheRickurb]

I love how jacked up you were about that route 50 stretch! Good for the soul…

[@TravelingThru222]

Its so nice out there, looking forward to be being back in less than a year.

[@busterthompson2267]

Stellar views

[@TravelingThru222]

Love the Rockies.

[@jimschuman9926]

Just subbed. Retired about a year ago (56yo) and have been getting back into biking full time. Love it, and really enjoy your videos. Always looking for new places to ride. Happy trails!

[@TravelingThru222]

With all that new free time on your hands, no better way to spend it then on a bike. Safe travels.

[@livingsimplytosimplylive6817]

I love that you’re taking your time. Many people brag about how many miles they covered in a day and I ask how much they miss as they made the miles.

[@TravelingThru222]

I spend so much time thinking about traveling and bicycle touring, that when I finally get out there I have no trouble going as slow as I need to. Thats what I also enjoy about all the filming and riding back to get the camera, It allows me more time to be present in a particular, usually beautiful space. I do like the thrill of riding big days and going far but its not the most important thing on my mind. Thanks for watching, See you on the road.

[@philiporourke7896]

Great vid, maybe your best and good music too. Thanx.

[@aron4888]

Such a great stretch along the river. Nice!

[@TravelingThru222]

It sure is!

[@dondonner1095]

Can't wait for the next one.

[@TravelingThru222]

Coming up soon.

[@JCrozier1]

Looking great man. Just rode it the other direction 2 weeks ago. Its nice to see it at a slower pace.

[@TravelingThru222]

That canyon was just amazing, That was the most of The Arkansas I have ever seen.

[@mentholmoose6705]

Thanks for the video I was board to death today. Couldn't even cut the grass because of rain ty

[@TravelingThru222]

Its rainy everywhere, thanks for watching.

[@johnphillips1693]

Hey St. louis John (guy who did San Diego trip years ago) here. Good timing for some Jerry for sure. 👍

[@TravelingThru222]

Hey John, Its always a good time for Jerry. Thanks for watching.

[@rickh4310]

Awesome adventure dude! I so want to do that. I’d better get on it soon though being that I am 69. I think it would be more of a mental challenge than a physical one.

[@TravelingThru222]

I always tell people " If you have ever thought about doing something like this, It will be 10 times better than you could ever imagine." I would suggest The Adventure Cycling Association Southern Tier Bike Route. Flattest, fastest way across the country. See you on the road.

[@PumpkinVillage]

That was some awesome footage. What a good day. Thanks for the video and take care, Al

[@TravelingThru222]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@vermonthillsumc]

Doing great! Keep going ! Loving the footage. Thank you

[@TravelingThru222]

Thank you! Will do! Thanks for watching.

[@mpfoston]

Loving the videos and very motivating. Just waiting on some parts from China to finish my bike. Yep I'm going to do a coast to coast myself but on a ebike to try to promote an alternative way of vacationing and saving the earth for the grand children. Being a native of Colorado I can say next time take your fishing pole. I am! Hey thans for the videos and the motivation and take care.

[@TravelingThru222]

Sounds great! you're going to have a great time. Glad you have enjoyed the videos. Ive been thinking about one of those collapsable rods for a long time.

[@scarter727]

Glad to see you enjoyed our state. It's funny, though; we live in Grand Junction and travel regularly to Pueblo along the route you took (and rode most of it on a couple of Ride the Rockies bike tours), but after a while you get used to the scenery and the vast open spaces. However, when I look at your videos of the rail trails in the midwest with the unbelievably green trees and quaint little towns every few miles, I want to visit!

[@TravelingThru222]

I love the west. So true, usually when I make my way back to The East Coast Im shell shocked by how green it is and how much water is flowing everywhere. Riding from Coast to Coast you get a touch of everything. Glad to be out of that Midwest.

[@jogger1987]

I live in Pueblo and ride regularly here and I agree with your midwest sentiments lol I planned a trip to Madrid, Iowa to hit some the High Trestle Bike Trail. It's all about perspective. After a few weeks removed from the mountains, creeks, rivers, and dry heat it comes calling.

[@scottfrazer4669]

I’m stuck at home with small children. I live vicariously through your adventure! I hope I can go on a similar bike tour at some point

[@TravelingThru222]

Go for it!

[@BryanKnuppel]

Some real dope footage, dude. Love it. Keep it coming.

[@TravelingThru222]

Thanks! Will do! The trip is about to get serious from here.

[@misaelramos83]

I have a 60cm 2020 Trek 520 also in anthracite but the frame cracked right a the seat post clamp. Frame may have been too small for me sadly. I definitely had the seatpost in beyond the mark on it. Now my gray 520 is a red 63 lol. Also run a black brooks. My teal Ortliebs don't look that great with my red frame tho.

[@TravelingThru222]

Tough luck on that, glad you have a new bike. Catch you on the road.

[@Bikepacking]

I would bikeraft the river with my packraft

[@TravelingThru222]

Awesome, The Arkansas River is so nice, If you look close of that raft clip, the raft guide does a head dip. Funny. You have a great channel, I just Subbed. Ive been talking about a Packraft for a couple years now, I should probably pick one up. How much does your weigh? and have you done any expeditions with it?

[@Bikepacking]

@@TravelingThru222 yeah done lot of trip like this one with packraft attached to the bike it packs small ie size of beach towel and weigh just over 2 kgs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6bWoYaurLZkrpI got video in my gear video showing how to attach your bike to it

[@mikegrace8635]

Getting into bigfoot territory , no worries, I hear they leave Bikers alone, thanks for the journey & safe travels....

[@TravelingThru222]

I always have my eye out for Squatch. Thanks for watching.

[@WIBBS75]

How much of a physical change have you noticed since you began?

[@TravelingThru222]

After 2700 miles I was feeling very strong. Legs as well as upper body. However on trips like this, I start to get sick of the food I have been eating for months. So I always start to fizzle on food ideas and options. So I was eating a lot, but I still think I wasn't eating enough, which is hard to believe because I was eating all the time. But feeling great, and could ride forever. Catch you on the road.

[@hardtailjefe]

I get your vibe “ Grandtheft auto bike touring hippie” crushing miles just saying.

[@TravelingThru222]

Hmmmm

[@carterbrazil]

Hey I know this is an old video do maybe you dont see this but Im traveling through Calorado by bike and was wondering what you do with your food to stay safe.. concerning bears. Thanks

[@mentholmoose6705]

The endless train cars blm land and tail wind gallon of water straped to rack pure bicycle bliss.

[@TravelingThru222]

When the gallon of water makes it onto the bike, its gonna be a long trip.

[@tompelham4648]

I totally get it! Who the hell is better than you?!

[@TravelingThru222]

Foresty Forest

[@stevemullin1195]

What bike are you riding

[@TravelingThru222]

2020 Trek 520

[@stevemullin1195]

@@TravelingThru222 i wanted to get a 520 but Trek has discontinued that model this year...now looking at a Surly disk trucker....but first I have carpal tunnel hand surgery and rehab to get through before I try to ride a 2 wheel bike again...currently riding a recumbent trike which doesn't put pressure on my hands...that is until I have to fix a flat.

Love dem big fat cows thats BEEF
