Bike Touring Tips: How NOT to Burnout on Tour!

[@reg82co4]

You two are so fun and inspiring. My husband and I are heading out this week to cycle the Pacific Coast route and then the southern tier. Your wisdom and experience are so helpful to newbies like us. We are in our 60s--this ride is my husband's only bucket list item. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm!! You've helped me gain confidence!

I'm about to go on my first unsupported tour and have been trying to keep the tips from this and other vids y'all have uploaded in the back of my brain. Thanks for all the uploads!

You guys are awesome! We've been cycle touring around South Korea a lot this year and it can't be stressed enough how important rest is on the journey. This is great advice though and love your attitudes towards just having fun on the road and not trying to break records. Enjoy the break as long as you need! And see you when you're back!! 😊

Ride ,rest, rest, rest, rest. It's not a cycle race it's for your enjoyment xxx Stay Safe!

Thanks so much for addressing this topic in a video. I find rest and recovery are often underrated, but as someone who got injured on a bicycle tour, I now recognize how important this is to the overall "success" and enjoyment of a tour. Thank you and enjoy your time off.

Hey there, good Topic, as a bikepacker myself I know how important is to do rest breaks from time to time...

[@johneric3886]

Great message, in the first two minutes of your video. Some days on tour 10 to 20 miles is enough. ______ Moreover, I often take a small book with me when I tour to, to break up constant riding. I'm actually about 65 Miles outside of Pittsburgh right now about to hop on the Gap trail. ______ I'm proud of myself I've gotten better at cycle touring over the past 15 years. __________ You two are delightful human beings.

[@johnlindsay6270]

Thank you ladies, good advice. Roll on 1 month when you are back!!!

I'm a bariatric patient about to go into surgery this friday, and my goal is to be able to tour across america on a bicycle. Your videos have helped me get over a lot of my fears, and hopefully I'll get my tour done in a couple of years! Thanks for making these vids!

[@stevesecret2515]

Good Luck! Wish you the best!

[@AdventureswithJason]

@@stevesecret2515 thank you!

[@davidhughes467]

Do it! Like riding there will be ups and downs, but if you set a clear target, be it weight or a date, and tell people your plan you can make it happen. When things are tough keep dreaming about your time on the road. Good luck.

[@kamratdennis]

Same with me i wish you all the best surgerys and hospitals sucks! but keep on keeping on trucking or how you say in america :D i put some humor in there since i think its important i just had a open hart surgery and last wednesday i had my third surgery thry my croin area in to my heart so im still in recovery. i have a dream to cycle america too maybe we see eachother on the trails ! all the best / Dennis

[@AdventureswithJason]

@@kamratdennis good luck with your recovery, looking forward to seeing you out there!

[@PursuingMountains]

Just found you guys and love the content. We are preparing for a long European bike tour so this was helpful!

[@ianbarr4716]

Darren and Ryan, you make total sense. Excellent advice. Thanks.

[@TropicalZooms]

I’m really good at resting. It’s the other stuff like exercise that I find difficult. 😜. Best of luck in all your journeys 😃🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️👍

[@kamratdennis]

[@radbikeadventure]

Thank you Glenn!

[@beverleygibson1394]

This is a very valued video! Great advice that I will take on board. Thanks and have a great month of well earned rest!

[@Eric_Tennant]

Think I found a break in the rain to start my solar e-bike tour here soon. Have delayed it since the start of July. Video coming in forever.

[@Vinaykumarel]

This a very useful and underrated video, Rest is Must to do your Best. Enjoy your break- Happy Holidays That Throwback was Good.

[@OverTheHillPhil]

Another great video - and good advice. Enjoy your "rest" from the channel.

"I'm sorry for what I said to you when I was tired." [master this apology if you don't get enough sleep]

[@paulsmarino]

Will miss your content here but will catch you on the other side of your break. Enjoy life and be well.

[@radbikeadventure]

Thanks so much Paul!

[@markperry4474]

Another great video thanks. You say you just dipped the old toes in the water on mental state, but actually the topic of this video has a lot to do with mindset. This is probably more important than the physical aspects on long tours. Kinda like pacing yourself on a long hill climb. Thanks again for useful insight.

[@radbikeadventure]

Agreed!!

[@mistersmith158]

Awesome RADventure advice great video ladies love the content keep it coming please

[@phooongtion]

Darin is back!! Yay

[@radbikeadventure]

We filmed this just before she got sick. Kinda crazy timing! But she is doing much better now!

[@tonydelyall2333]

"Brekkie"? (11:25) Sounding very Australian.

[@radbikeadventure]

I love Aussie and NZ shortened verbiage . Arvo definitely a favorite too

[@davidrowe8747]

Another excellent video, thanks! Is "brekkie" a word in the US? We say that here in the UK, but I don't recall ever hearing that in my 23 years in the States? Maybe it's a Rad Bike Adventures cosmopolitan/global term? ;-) Enjoy the rest from KZbin - you deserve it.

[@DawidDgk]

They use it as breakfast in Australia also

[@Ross.Bagatski]

Rest is just a change of activity.
