Cycling from San Francisco to the Sierra Nevada Mountains [Ep 77]

[@PathfinderBikepacking]

I think my face when I fixed my stove is the happiest I've ever seen myself. Thanks for watching y'all!

[@steriophonic1]

what was the problem, Adam

[@steriophonic1]

blockage,

[@PathfinderBikepacking]

One of the rubber washers had eroded. I replaced it but it wasn’t the correct size so the fuel kept leaking. I managed to bodge it and finally get it going.

That camera shot through the trees into the glowing sun.... amazing

[@StephenZavestoski]

Hey, Adam, bit of a tip on eating tacos...each taco has two tortillas so you can split the carne asada or whatever your filling is between two tortillas thus making them a bit easier to handle. Great content, thanks for sharing.

For a minute there the Golden Gate Bridge looked just like Mt Fuji.😁

[@PathfinderBikepacking]

😂great memory.

A Rupert in the army? Times have changed. Back in the day (early 90s and before) you had to have a posh accent and the right school tie. Good on you.

[@PathfinderBikepacking]

Hopefully times are changing.

[@nickisauer9626]

Nice to see you back on the road :-)

[@mokeebear]

will miss your bike touring but so looking forward to seeing your adventures in the UK

[@PathfinderBikepacking]

There will be plenty of bike touring to come in 2020 still 😆

[@natasha3091]

Hey Adam :) Just wondered what the name was of the book you mentioned in a live chat? One that inspired you to bike tour?

[@fredbaumannjensen3177]

Beautiful drone shots man! Stunning landscapes. Keep on the good work :)

[@IvaJakkel]

What a great video! New sub here. What drone are you using?

[@benthrelkeld4929]

Great video. I just found your channel. Thanks!

[@ascot1049]

Thanks lad .

[@bathedinshadow]

Driving in Vallejo is not driving in San Francisco! Vallejo is not San Francisco! :) HOWEVER, I much appreciate you not committing the overly common mistake that visitors make by calling it "san fran." I like the videos! I watch as many of these as I can. I grew up in Northern California and moved away at 25. So between visits, it's so nice to see home. And on a bike!

[@PathfinderBikepacking]

Thank you. Great to hear you are enjoying g the videos. I get that Vallejo isn’t into San Francisco although I did drive over a few times. Over the Golden Gate Bridge and from Oakland over the Bay. I was there during Fleet Week which meant lots of fast jets over the bay.

[@MatthewNash92]

what kinda things do you cook mostly in your stove ? what do you suggest is a good staple meal when touring ??

[@PathfinderBikepacking]

Pasta, pasta and more pasta. I also eat a load of oats, rice and noodles. Add veggies and you’re good to go.

[@goingoncircles9240]

Hi Adam, what insurance cover do you have?

[@brendansullivan7867]

don't really know much about camera's, but is it possible to get your old one repaired so that you have a backup?

[@PathfinderBikepacking]

I sold the old one to a pawn shop in Vegas for $200. Carrying 2 cameras would be a pain.

[@Bikepacking]

great video

[@PathfinderBikepacking]

Cheers mate/

[@paul.steckler]

The spelling police would like you to know, it's "San Francisco". :-)

[@PathfinderBikepacking]

🤦🏻‍♂️👍

[@mergetmerreget5352]

I think it would have been easy to repair the camera

[@PathfinderBikepacking]

Possibly, but instead, I managed to sell it for a decent price. Winner winner!

[@gregcram7975]
