Hola Horacio, Mi tía vive en T.O también. 🤗

[@Scor-ah]

Another great adventure, I love watching your videos. Nice to see how you get food and shop in Mexico, a little different from home but nice to see some variety instead of all the same brand names we get a home. Thanks for sharing

[@OmniTierra]

Ya the tiendas change from region to region. I’m sure we’ll see some fun stuff in Asia 🤗

[@Samsonmetaphysical]

Man that bike is awesome, but not as awesome as you and Mira. Much love to both of you!

[@OmniTierra]

Great you have your 👁 👁on us 🤔😜.

[@ekimpp]

When I see your new upload...my heart burst into millions pieces... I don't know why.

[@OmniTierra]

I hope that’s a very good thing🤔 Thanks for your comment. Working on another video today🤪🐕💕

[@ekimpp]

Woohoo! Give Mira a big hug for me.

[@jeffreyspence3292]

John, in my opinion this is by far your best work on a video! Great variety. Sigue mejorando!

[@OmniTierra]

Thanks Jeffrey. Happy you enjoyed this one.

[@errhka]

Aw man I would have snatched up that puppy in two seconds haha - mira in front of the pedal until death art would be an awesome t shirt and I would totally buy it

Amazing channel, good vibes 👍🏻 Had a collie too (Wally The Collie)…on account of his crazy personality and his wall eye! Fantastic trail dog, gosh I miss that wee guy 🥺 Looking forward to seeing all your future adventures. 😃

[@OmniTierra]

We never forget the dogs in our life. More adventures coming I hope ✌️

[@I_Am_Bone]

Thanks! Give Myra a hug. I take our Sheltie with me on short local rides. Just had a kidney removed, so on we are benched for a little while, but hope to get a couple kms in to help fight kids cancer! #GCCC

[@OmniTierra]

Richard, I hope you and your Sheltie are able to get some mikes in for your event 👍💪

Hi, Im from Mexico just stared watching your vídeos and because of you Im falling more in love with my home.

[@OmniTierra]

Mexico is an absolutely fabulous country. So many amazing people and beautiful countryside. 🇲🇽🤗💕🐕

Another good ride around the country side. Those hills looked pretty steep. Thanks for the video and give Mira a pat for me. Take care, Al

[@eileencrabtree411]

Enjoy the views but mostly Mira has my heart! Stay safe

It’s always about Mira. As it should be.

Your videos give me joy. Thank you.

[@tylerk24]

Great video John and Mira! I like following along on your adventure!

[@elijahkraatz9700]

Very happy to see the new videos! I was worried that you gave it up. I found taking video of my trips to be pretty distracting, and the editing was tedious! Can you tell me what size tires you have found most useful? I am getting a custom wheel set for my Mukluk. Thinking 29x2.8”, but wondering what your experience is. Thanks, and happy trails!

[@OmniTierra]

Oh I’ve definitely thought about putting the cameras down. Lots of good reasons for that. For now I’ll keep making videos. Each one seems to get a little bit easier. 29 and 27.5 both work fine with the Mukluk IMO. As for width that really depends on the terrain you’re riding more than anything.

[@ktmkai]

Awesome!

[@Volkmannx]

I'm often close to motion sickness watching your videos, but it's totally worth it! 😁👍

[@harrygrimley4352]

The topography is spectacular. Beautiful views. The go pro doesn't really capture the scale or the terrain but when you put in the mapped route. Wow. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Really enjoyed the video John! Puppy rescue! How sweet. Sharing ice cream with Mira. Wonderful! Some great scenery. Thanks!

[@alethearobinson8132]

Glad you are back to posting videos of your adventures. Love seeing Mira living the best life a dog can live. I tried your link to Patreon and all I get is a twirly circle. Went Patreon on my computer and could not find your site ( did a test and thought I would try to find Van Duzer. He popped right up) Any advice? I would like to buy a scarf. OK. Now I have a bajillion -2 questions.😂. Pedal on Dude and Mira👍

[@OmniTierra]

Thanks for the heads up. I checked the links but they seem to work for me. Maybe try again tomorrow🤞 This run of bandanas is very limited. They are hand crafted in the US. I’ll make an Instagram post once I am set up to except orders. Thank you very much for your interest. If you miss out on this round I’ll likely do it another🤗🐕💕

[@MrLuRoc]

Just started watching your Journey. Love your energy and Mira. Keep it up!

[@OmniTierra]

Happy you found us Luis 🤗

[@bodianlanding7777]

Riding with you guys all the way

[@rabh6746]

Excellent video once again John, Mexico is so beautiful👌Some of those climbs are incredible, hard work of course but worth it for those stunning vistas👍Mira is just so adorable, she is the best companion you could have at your side on this incredible journey😁

[@OmniTierra]

I agree. People are always smiling and taking photos of her on the bike.

[@VWDoug1]

Thanks John and Mira for another enjoyable video. Look forward to the next one! GOD BLESS

[@harrygrimley4352]

Oh boy!! I can't wait to see this.

[@arlenegariepy8957]

Whats a Omni Tierra video without climbing a million feet with incredible views!!! You have a wonderful life John with the greatest of friend in Mira. I loved it!!!

[@jpalmer1967]

The two of you are so inspiring. Thanks again for sharing & keep going!

[@OmniTierra]

Thanks Palmer. We intend to keep going and going

[@210FMcometh]

Great video! Really enjoy watching your journeys.

[@StarEssences]

I got a second small dog; Her name is Sophia (sophie for short) plus my chug, NaOmi they are both in the small dog category and both therapeutic dogs for me and an extra companion for NaOmi. I know Sophie loves the outdoors; we three look forward to camping on the weekends here in Nevada in Red Rock/Lovell Canyon maybe Spring Mountains, etc. I have them both arranged to be with me on the bike; Sophia in the Buddyrider dog bicycle seat (since she is a tad bigger than NaOmi) and NaOmi will be in a XL doggyride Cocoon with rack adapter installed onto front cargo rack; both dogs will be in front of me. I know my weight for weekend camping will be much less than dealing with longer travels and carrying more gear, but my two dogs, Sophie ~18lbs and NaOmi ~14.25lbs will obviously tack on the additional weight. Can't wait! Happy travels to you and Mira. Stay Safe

[@OmniTierra]

Hey Tracy, yeah I love that area of Nevada. Lots of nice trails out by blue diamond in really beautiful area for sure. Hope you have a great time with your doggies. Thanks for watching

[@deborahmoore1167]

You're turning into the "Steven Spielberg" of bike videos. Mira should qualify for a SAG card. Safe journey for both of you 🚴🐕😎

[@OmniTierra]

I don’t know about that, I mean ET Road in a basket on the front of Elliott’s bike. It’ll make a great Halloween costume though🤔🐕😎

[@user-lc2mu9jk2b]

Alway a pleasure to watch you and Mira. So calm. Wondering why you ride with sandals. Especially toe sandals with socks. By the way, what helmet are you riding with?

[@OmniTierra]

Oakley helmet. Just testing out the sandals since it was rainy season here. They have some real pluses and are way better than I would have believed. That said I’ll be switching back to my @fivetenbike shoes shortly

[@jeffhabjinski5848]

Recently found your channel! I hope you continue with the videos! I know they are a lot of work but with Mira you'll go viral in no time! Very inspiring to watch

[@OmniTierra]

We hope to have more out shortly.

[@sueg2658]

Thank you! Always so good to see you both! Terrific video and adventure :-) Be well and enjoy :-)

[@xe2bio64]

John you’re living the life you and adorable doggie 🐶 I was wondering if can talk about your bike will be awesome. Tu español es muy bueno y eres muy respetuoso con la gente. You editing is amazing always.

[@OmniTierra]

We are in the middle of designing a new version, and will definitely share all the details about that bike. Hopefully by Midsummer, we will see the best version of this bike 👌💕🐕

[@register1430]

Those relive segments are so hypnotic to watch. Are you making these routes up on the fly?

[@OmniTierra]

These last few videos are on “routes” from Cass @bikepackingcom . A great source of route info. That being said the .gpx is only a suggestion and if we see a nice road or trail we often take it. I use @kamoot, MapOut, Gaia and Google maps. I also ask locals for specific details from time to time. There are links in the description and on our Instagram @mira_la_perra

[@jigtime]

great video

[@jayceevilla5630]

Just want to say ur my hero, dude! I admire your passion for adventure, love n respect for nature and culture and the leadership you provide for Mira. We have a female border collie that looks and acts like Mira - wonderful dogs!

[@OmniTierra]

Jaycee, I definitely agree. Border Collies and Heelers are the best

[@julielance3588]

Hello, I just found your videos while looking for ways to bike with dogs. I love your adventures, but I am not brave enough to go out as far as you. You have inspired me to get my dog on my bike. I have been working with one of them to run next to me, she is a Mini Aussie (50 pounds, not to mini)(I have 3 dogs). She loves it so much that if i leave the house with one of the bikes she is stressed and wants my husband to stop what he is doing, then hold her until I get home. I am going to get the crate for the back and getting 3 is not a problem I will have one on each bike. We will adventure all over our county in the near future. Thank you for showing me how it is done. I hope Mira and you have more amazing adventures. We are on our way too.

[@OmniTierra]

Hey, great to hear from you Julie. One of the things you might want to consider is a single wheeled trailer. This way it’s easy to switch between bikes and the handling will probably be better. Just my $0.02

[@julielance3588]

@@OmniTierra Thank you for replying and your input. i do plan on getting the trailer, my other 2 dogs are 9 now and could not keep up. My youngest will come more then the others. I am not as adventurous as you and will be returning every night to my home, so she will over go in the bed when I am on public roads. I did for get to ask about the device that you use to get directions. I would like to get one of those. Thank you again for replying and have a good time with Mira.

[@boydcrowder4436]

As usual, great video of you and Mira. I gotta tell you though, I cringe every time I see you riding in those open toed sandals. I'd encourage you to go closed toed sandals, something like Keens. Much better protection if you had a fall.

[@OmniTierra]

Hey Boyd, I hear ya but surprisingly I haven’t bashed my toes. But the injury to my fragile self-esteem wearing those Keen sandals would be much worse.🤪😜 I’ll be switching back to my @fivetenbike shoes when we leave Oaxaca. I

[@grahamambridge2856]

Gosh, those were some long distances. Liking the camp stuff as well as the shots during the day. Cheers ears.... Muchly appreciated. Looking to get a spurcycle Tool (a different vid I know) ... A couple of places do them in the uk. I guess u got it cos its light and also no ratchet to go wrong? (for the amount you use it).

[@OmniTierra]

Thanks for your comments Graham. Happy you are enjoying. There is great Bikepacking everywhere. But if you’re looking for some warm weather riding through South Spain, Andalusia is amazing. Well, every part of that country is terrific for riding.

[@efxnoise]

Do you carry a secondary charging device like a solar panel, or does the hub generate enough power for your needs?

[@OmniTierra]

The hub doesn’t do all the power needs. But that’s only because I carry cameras. For a phone and GPS and maybe one camera it would be enough. The other issue is that I ride in the mountain so often and at those slow speeds going up no hub will generate enough power for you. Interestingly that is one of the reasons why I switched to 27.5. I can get more revolutions at the speeds I ride. It’s a small difference but it actually makes an impact. So I carry a 20,000 mah battery and charger up from time to time when I can access the power grid. I have experimented with solar panels but I haven’t had good results.

[@fogrider4607]

How did you develop your Spanish language skills?

[@OmniTierra]

I didn’t know I had any honestly. 😜 @lingq is a solid app. iTalki is another and kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmK6cpqnhLFpock These folks offer a pretty good program. Hope that helps buena suerte👍

[@fogrider4607]

@@OmniTierra I used Rosetta Stone before a long trip to Spain. Was good but your conversation skills are better. Pedal on!

[@OmniTierra]

One of the amazing things about LingQ is that you can import video and text files. They are then translated so you can study them. I’m currently downloading stages of the Vuelta Espana. And one of the other great things is it’s a Canadian developed app 🇨🇦😎

[@Salixspp]

Hey John, what stove are you running? And you burn unleaded gas? Thanks, from BC 🍁

[@OmniTierra]

@primus Omni Fuel Ti Lite. Yes mostly gasoline in the 300ml bottle. That amount lasts most of a week if I cook a lot. I have used butane mix gas canisters and they worked well too with the jet change. The stoves now are available with a silencer from Primus even though they aren’t that loud to begin with. I have used several other stoves over the years. While alcohol is quiet and clean it is more difficult to find and it is up to 10X the cost of petrol/ gas.
