Bikepacking 300 miles through Mexico - cycling Alaska to Argentina 17

Hi, I'm Dan and I'm cycling from Alaska to Argentina! This is my 17th episode covering 300 miles of bikepacking through mainland Mexico. I dealt with the hottest temperatures of my trip so far and brutal mountain climbs in the desert of the Mexican Altiplano.

[@jordandowdy]

Hey Dan, just wanted to leave you a comment to let you know how much I look forward to your videos, and how much I enjoy being able to- in some small way- share your amazing adventure with you. It’s just a beautiful, positive, inspirational thing that I feel I’ve found in your channel, and it’s a little spark of joy and wonder. Thanks for all the effort you put into sharing this with us. This community may not be the biggest, but if you need anything, let us know and we’ve got you. Cheers man.

[@KR-he7mm]

Another great video Dan - thanks! Beautiful images. I guess you've gotta not be spooked by stray dogs when cycling through Mexico!

[@DanCyclesTheWorld]

Thanks! You quickly get used to them and realise they're mostly friendly

[@billtcheng2316]

Glad to see your video again! I love your positive spirit despite the troubles you’ve encountered. Keep pedaling, we are rooting for you and looking forward to your next video.

[@nicolekrause9291]

Glad that you're back Dan, lovely video as usual

[@MrGraphite]

Should've called this episode "The Dogs of Mexico".

[@Newsi-z1u]

Very, very nice! Your hard work is definitely refreshing!

[@Wa61105]

Another great video! Really bummed that you couldn't share the end of Baja and the start of the mainland stretch.. Probably not nearly as bummed as you were losing that footage.. I hope you still have fond memories in your head about it all! Safe travels through the rest of Mexico!

[@pgee70utube]

[@ashleytoutain8504]

I really like your videos but I feel one big thing is missing out, at least for me and that is your social interactions... Where are they!?

[@DanCyclesTheWorld]

Fully agree! Just took me a while to feel comfortable filming strangers but you'll start seeing alot more of this in upcoming videos :)

[@liamahern8527]

Great video Dan, you just seem to take it all in your stride. Always seeing the positive 👍

Coming very soon!

[@haydenw6585]

Amazing footage you’re capturing in Mexico, good luck with your journey

[@Rangerscrossing]

[@growabundant]

Love this! And it’s fun to find out you have a thing for dogs 🐕 😊! So sorry to hear about your laptop troubles and I’m glad you’re still enjoying your trip. I’m always excited to see a new release and watch it asap. Hope you’re well!!

[@karrycarter]

Great video, thanks for sharing your journey 🚴🏻‍♂️⛺️😊

[@ricardor890]

Though of trying this combination for you tyres Mr Tuffy's tubes and sealant I ran tubes and Mr tuffy's and I rode on a similar surface too you and I never got a flat, in 2200 km. Put baby powder on your tubes so it reduces the friction within the tyre from continous movement of riding I have used Mr Tuffy's for 30 plus years and I think I could count on 1 hand the number of flats Or consider it as and emergency option that you could carry Thanks for sharing your adventure, it takes me back too your age Good luck

[@Michael-h6g]

Bummer about your lost items. Thanks again for sharing another chapter of your journey.

[@mackie_p]

Sucks you know were your laptop is... I have hope you'll get it back with your footage. Cheers

[@s.richards6552]

I am so enjoying your videos and sharing your amazing journey, Dan. I only found your channel recently and am trying to catch up with the beginning of your trip. The quality of what you are producing here is incredible. You remind me very much of that wonderful traveller, Iohan Gueorguiev with your special affinity with dogs and other animals you meet on your journey. He was the very best creator of these kind of videos, but I feel you are a worthy successor, producing fantastic videos that convey your feelings for the landscape and animals as well as the people you meet along the way. I wish you bon voyage and hope to share many more of your experiences of your journey.

[@ronniebiggs4026]

Your putting in a good shift Dan ! It must be murder with the heat and the weight of your bike ,I hope the bike shop give your machine a proper looking over 🚲🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@Sea_fada_n]

Was wondering what had happened for the vids to stop.....lovin yer work mate. ✊

[@Lauragraceh]

Hey Dan! Could you share what software you used to create the map animation? Or if anyone else knows I’d love to know!

[@commandercookie0]

Another amazing video! Gutted you lost some of the footage, but already can’t wait for the next one!

[@Luigi13]

You have done many good videos with a lot of beautiful scenery, how did you loose you laptop with all its data? Somehow you managed to continue and edit your trip which is a whole new start to continue the journey. Be safe and enjoy exploring I look forward to your next video. Cheers.

[@DanNortcliffe]

Great Videos an epic ride! I’ve shared your journey with as many people as I possibly can. Inspirational

[@jaman5735]

Hi Dan, could you tell me the tire's you use on your grappler? Thy and stay safe. God bless.

[@ebcruston]

I’ve been following your channel the whole trip. Glad you are ok. Was worried it had been so long.

[@BurnTheForest]

Bummer about the laptop, but cheers to keeping a good attitude! My Fiancé and I are rooting for ya out there and have seen every video. Keep up the good work Dan!

[@CanadianSledDog]

Always great to see a new episode of your adventure! I know the feeling of losing important footage, I once lost 30 days from the middle of a 60 day bikepacking trip with my dog... Heart: broken. But you keep on moving forward!

[@mitchellmclaughlin6360]

Hi Dan, I'm always super stoked whenever I see you've posted a new video! I do have to ask, how do you feel about safety in this part of Mexico? I have some friends from Mexico, and I feel like if I were to ask them about riding back roads and wildcamping near Zacatecas, they'd respond with a resounding hell no. Is the route you're on pretty established and safe? Not trying to be a debbie downer, just curious how you're thinking about all of that!

[@tailwind_adventures]

Great videos as always... Keep up the amazing work!

[@NMgravel]

enjoy your travels and sharing your learning experiences along the way. its not always perfect out there.

[@clivegillard6588]

Another stunning vid. Regardless of all your current troubles you've maintained a positive attitude. A lesson for all us cyclist. We'll done Dan and thank you so much for your content.

[@fortheloveof2wheels873]

Man I can keep watching hours of your videos. Next time your at a bike shop grab a bunch of tube patch kits for the inside of your tires the work to keep the air and sealant in.

[@hackisack]

What happened to your laptop? Stolen? What a pity you lost so much footage. Thanks for another great episode.

[@johnkirk3358]

Missed you Dan, tough break on the mechanicals. Glad to see that you're still out there enjoying the route! One or two dogs along the way eh?

[@Foxies1972]

loving these videos so sad to hear you lost your laptop keep trudging along.. your inspiring for myself and my wife.. we are starting our on some short trips soon to test gear. a gear list would be a great vid , what worked and what didnt

[@simonstal8800]

Hi Dan, I really enjoy your story and it gives me a lot of inspiration. How much time does it take you to edit one of these videos? I assume you are doing it while on the road?

[@kylemalachowski]

Absolutely stunning visuals in this one. Amazing work as always, Dan

[@jatorresrv]

I appreciated each time you said you waited for daylight to continue, as very little can be seen in darkness. Thanks for sharing.

[@BrianGallian]

Inspired me to get a surly bike and start researching my first trip. Keep it going!!

[@chrisduffy8018]

Fantastic video as always!

[@RollingExistence]

Great work Dan!

[@dadtunesatx6645]

Hey Dan, Can't wait for the next video! Just wanted to let you know your tip on stopping and confronting aggressive dogs worked well today. I was on a ride in the forests of Northern Montana and had a couple of young dogs come running out at me. They were determined to stay with me as I slowly climbed up a hill. I remembered your moment in Mexico where you stopped and confronted the dogs. So, I figured I had nothing to lose, stopped, turned, made eye contact, and they instantly backed off. Finally, their owner came out and called them back in. My second option was the can of bear spray I had with me, but we were able to negotiate a peaceful outcome without the use of weapons! Carry on! Love the series and you are an inspiration!

[@thuggoe]

sorry about your lost section

[@КостяЛопунов]

Great camera work, thank you, Dan!

[@tj7870]

excellent video, take care!

[@mickilkr]
