Cycling over the Continental Divide-Ryan and Ali Bike Across America-Ep 12

Riding over the Continental Divide is fun, if you like riding uphill for 17 miles that is:)
I'm excited to announce that Ali and I are riding across the USA! We're riding Trek's new gravel bikes, the Checkpoint, and the goal is to take the road less traveled in search of great people and inspiring stories. Besides profiling the wonderful people along the way, we'll be asking everyone for LOVE advice. Our route will take us from Oregon to New York and WE WANT YOU to help out. If you have any ideas of places to visit, friends to meet, or burritos to eat, find us on social media and point us in the right direction.

[@inkstickart]

the quality of these VLOGS are unmatched

[@miriamgeraci9389]

I just love watching this after our 8 kids go to bed. Relaxing and rejuvenating!

[@pepperman8038]

Gotta admit to be addicted to the stories you tell and the pictures you show.....thank you again for sharing and lighting up our days!

[@easylife50]

as soon as you showed his face...i was like...THATS MICHAEL!!!!!! Thats so cool guys!

[@duzer]

Yep! he's the best

[@scottargyle3798]

Thanks for bringing us along with you two The road less traveled much better than asphalt full of traffic

[@treyquattro]

this is National Geographic level quality content

[@dennisdownes9319]

I'm watching your amazing journey from Edgewood, Rhode Island; Elevation 66'....ABOVE sea level!!!! That's BEFORE I go upstairs to my bedroom. Hhmmmm; I wish I had some cool elevation signs. Great job guys!!!

[@duzer]

66 feet!! Don't forget your oxygen mask!! :)

[@ericbloom4227]

Hello Ryan and Allie my name is Eric Bloom. I’ve been watching your videos of your bike trip across the United States the cinematography and editing that you do for your videos is absolutely awesome great work, and you should be very proud of it.I am a biker at heart and I love the feeling I get when I’m out there.

[@duzer]

Thanks Eric! Lemme know if you ever have questions about planning your bike trip. Thanks for watching my videos and hope 2019 is awesome!

[@Jeep-Addicts]

Very well put together, amazing you take the time to video and still get great millage.

[@davidbenson735]

I totally agree with you about the gravel trails versus the asphalt roads with cars. Watching the footage of the cars passing close and fast reminded me of all the reasons I search out the traffic free routes here in the UK. Scary!

[@janikari]

Another awesome video guys! Looks like you are having an amazing adventure. Big thumbs up 👍👍

[@gravelsasquatch6430]

I make motor noises on them brutal uphills too. Healthy healing vibes being sent for Ms Ali's knee. Those bikes are some Burritopacking machines.

[@MrJaree]

Addicted to this channel! Everyone needs to see this stuff. You guys do such a wonderful job. Stay strong and safe.

[@spikester40]

Amazing!!! Idaho will miss you!!! Safe travels and happy knees!!!

[@davidroquet8080]

Four water cages, sweet! Let the good times roll.

[@darrenroberts637]

Awesome .. awesome!!!! Nothing short

[@duzer]

Glad you liked it!

[@BrianTitus]

So I'm a little less than halfway through this series, and I am just astounded by the quality of what you have put together. It feels like you have a camera crew and production team following you on your journey, but amazingly, it's just the 2 of you. Best to you both, I am looking forwarding to completing the trip with you.

[@duzer]

Thanks Brian! It was a lot of work to document all this, but we're really happy with the result. Enjoy the rest!

[@rustyhealey6861]

GREAT KILLING THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE #bobquicksjourneys and I cross over I80 endless uphill although when we crossed Lincoln monument it was 35 miles of down hill to Cheyenne Beautiful cinema photography, I can tell your taking your time to edit and Ali is bringing her magic to your Sean

[@jes9661]

I am not one to post comments on KZbin but I am a bike enthusiast and I find the idea of a cross country trip to be very interesting. When I am not watching your videos, I like to cook and take pictures but I do not like to do both simultaneously. You are both riding strenusously and trying to take videos for your posts. And on top of it all you have to find the time to take the raw footage, make it work and add commentary and music. DAMN! What I find amazing is that you are in many of the shots, especially the aerials, and so you need to set up shots and get the correct perspective. You just finished going over some pretty daunting hills and I can see you saying “Ali, can we go back down the hill we just struggled up and get a better shot?” Talk about testing the relationship! Anyways, good luck and best wishes to you both. I am looking forward to seeing the rest of the journey.

[@luitgi]

Thank you for another wonderful video Ali and Ryan

[@ericbloom4227]

Thanks Ryan. And I will remember that. Looking to put miles in this season. Doing Greater Allegheny passage And the C & O. For one of my rides this year. Great cycling and pray the rubber side is always down

[@duzer]

Nice! I've done the C&O canal trail, LOVEd it! Happy trails Eric

[@wesleywashoe8029]

Great video's.keep them coming.I use to be a cat2 racer BACK IN THE LATE 80s & road for RIDE FOR RECOVERY in 2013 to 2015 for disabled combat veterans but due to my blown out knees & broken back & pelvis from the military i can't even turn a pedal stroke anymore due chronic sever bone on bone arthritis in both knees,i had to hang up my bikes. I CAN TRULY SAY I MISS THE FREEDOM & PEACE IT ALWAYS BROUGHT ME.peace be with you both & may the creator protect you both. (NATIVE AMERICAN COMBAT DISABLED VETERAN US NAVY GULF WAR/SOMALIA)

[@wesleywashoe8029]

OH yea,my dads on his bike crossing the country too.

[@lindzee924]

Always good....and the drones shots are breathtaking !

[@VivKittie32]

So cool!! I’m from the region and I used to work in both Teton and Yellowstone parks. This video and the last one are really making me homesick. Y’all stay safe and love one another! Loving the footage! 🙌🏻 ❤️

[@thomassousa7821]

amazing editing, music, everything. Ali, Ryan You're awesome. You're awesome together.

[@duzer]

Thanks thomas!! Appreciate it. Hope 2019 is treating you well

[@roblesvic]

awesome camping. Similar view to what I had from Volcan de Agua when I camped there.

[@duzer]

Nice!

[@joangregg4378]

Thanks for sharing. I'm hooked!

[@Jamie-Lynch]

I love watching this series of videos. I’m always excited to see when you have uploaded a new one! Stay safe out there!

[@sagehiker]

Welcome to Wyoming. Ali’s message on bears and protecting all wildlife through food storage rules is appreciated. The Yellowstone area roads and traffic are rough. Was the end point of this episode in Dubois. I day trip on gravel, next spring some WY and MT touring.

[@kymtwenham1]

Loving your adventure, As a 66 yr old I too love those rail trails on my e-bike. Keep up the great work. Seeing parts of America I'll probably never vist from here in South Australia.

[@PathfinderGregg]

Awesome scenery! This country has such beauty and so many never never see it. Ali, riding a loaded touring bike ain't easy. You are doing great!

[@davidcolinstillman5585]

GOD HAS MADE A BREATHTAKING VIEWS IN AMERICA! OUTSTANDING VIDEOS! BE SAFE! HAVE FUN! I GOD BLESS YOU BOTH ENJOYED !

[@briansmith8325]

Hi Ryan, Just returned home in the UK after watching the Tour de France and taking in some cycling myself watching your videos helps inspire me to do trips like that, thanks and keep them coming, Brian

[@kevinbraden9445]

Love the rail to trails , katy trail , Madison county trails . Great video , be safe you two.

[@pony_bonnyman]

So pleased to hear both of you pronounce "Togwotee" correctly!

[@jimblake6826]

Much better than the pass - Love from Idaho, Sarge

[@drewlucero3916]

Wow what a great recommendation to take that trail. Love Ali she is speaking more on the videos giving her perspective. Thanks Guys. 📸🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️📸

[@2old4u]

Just found your channel. You guys are great. Had to go back to the beginning to watch all the adventures.

[@duzer]

Thanks for watching our videos Papa! Appreciate it. Stay tuned for a whole lot more!

[@AliG-vv2rd]

[@kevinlooney8200]

Alli is looking super toned. Great job on the continental divide.

[@tomlackey3124]

Another fantastic update ! Stay strong and pedal on !

[@noahb5583]

Always look forward to seeing the progress! Great job team. That's what a relationship is, a team working together and looking out for each other. See you in Illinois!!

[@thealamorider3327]

Wow, I'm jelly! Sweet bikes, you guys are living the dream!

[@jore346]

Yum phish food. Stumbled upon your videos and with the current situation I have had the time to watch them. Awesome insight into cross country trips by bike. You guys rock! 👍👍

[@duzer]

The best flavor of ice cream. Hope you enjoy the series!

[@marcelvandervelden3081]

[@ericbloom4227]

Watching your videos has really inspired me. To start planning my trip to bike across the United States. I can only hope that one day to meet both of you and thank you for what I have seen through your eyes and it heard in your words. It seems to be a wonderful life and a wonderful way to live life God bless you both. And my am put for your love questions are openness honesty communication and respect and understanding. These are the things I think are are beneficial to your great relationship.

[@bulldozer7656]

Wyoming is so awesome!!! L o n g stretches of straight road and Nothing in between.. Be safe!

[@chrisfyb]

So awesome you two. This particular episode was especially beautiful. Keep on pushing!

[@thomasdaniel5308]

Nice!

[@ryansugimoto3851]

Great B roll on this episode. Starting to look pro.

[@ernieroberts56]

Keep the up the great work.

[@scoutmasterruss]

Ryan and Ali, I'm so grateful for your trip. I have been glued to a desk and tons of travel. Your adventure keeps me sane! Plus, to see you two grow together has been a blast as well. Ryan, where can we get those biking stickers?

[@KFBOSTONFAN]

Love it.. keep up the great work...

[@tonycastro6805]

On top

[@dragonflyseven474]

I'm jealous! Going to bike over Rollins Pass this weekend though, that will be a good taste of gravel climbing. :)

[@itsallspent]

Congratulation on the Continental Divide crossing. Ali your riding looking much stronger and more confident. Hey Ryan give Ali the camera for a change.

[@bobtilton3024]

Notification received - damn it now I'm gonna be late for work!

[@brianward7724]

Great video! Great scenery! Great vibes! You two are fantastic! Long may you reign! Hope the knees improve, Ali.

[@brlowe1]

Really like this episode. Moved to Boise 6 years ago and Idaho is great. Really want to go ride this section of your ride.

[@stephenturp2836]

What a fantastic video Ryan. Brilliant stuff. Love it .

[@nikamo6853]

As always! Love your videos!!!!

[@davidbenson735]

Amazing videography and editing is so good. You keep the viewer transfixed. After watching one I cannot wait for the next instalment. Very inspiring. Thank you both.

[@HelgeTrinn]

Amazing video

[@MrEagan1975]

I love ya videos

[@duzer]

Gil Eagan thank you!!

[@sagehiker]

Welcome to Wyoming. Ali’s message on bears and protecting all wildlife through food storage rules. The Yellowstone area roads and traffic are rough. I day trip on gravel, next spring some WY and MT touring.

[@FlatwaterVillage]

Looks like you guys had so much fun in Idaho! Can't wait to see what Wyoming has in store! No Crashies, No Wammies, No Bearies! Peace & Love your way (p.s. the song flowed great guys, thank you!)

[@mikemerritt2043]

Ali, please have a pro bike fit done!! Your knees will love you for it

[@duzer]

Mike Merritt she did, right before we left..:questionable results though...and 230 bucks :(

[@emenstravels7023]

Amazing video and editing dude! Thank you for bringing us all along for this awesome adventure. Safe travels to you both ✌️

🚴

[@misadventureswiththemartys312]

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph! Seventeen miles up hill? Good Gravy I want to be able to do that.

[@duzer]

Yum, gravy :)

[@BairHandSolo]

hope that this pandemic ends soon, hopefully this year so that i could go to Europe and do what you guys did.. touring using your bike... Trek gravelbike brought me here just watching some reviews about your bike on youtube and i watched one of your episode and became a subscriber instantly.. and i think this bikes the one I’ve been looking for... nice videos, superb contents.. relaxing... keep it up

[@johnnydoe66]

Woohoo, It's all downhill to NY! 🤣...You all let us know how that works out

[@rustnevrsleeps]

good stuff!!

[@tonycastro6805]

Nice

[@gbahde]

Awesome video. I want to be out there so bad I can't stand it.

[@sapinva]

So tragic about the Cholula, I'd send you some if I could. I've seen a gazillion pictures of the Tetons, but it adds some perspective seeing them off in the distance. Nice work with the drone. Maybe give us a 360 once in a while?

[@tonycastro6805]

Ali & Ryan

[@clacclackerson3678]

Arm protectors and bare shoulders? Thanks for the vid, am enjoying the series.

[@Lughnerson]

I would like if you could include somewhere, some kind of map with the route you have traveled.

[@DanielCanfield]

[@granthertzing3548]

Ryan, just some friendly advice please lube your chains. Love your videos

[@jaydavee]

are you finding plenty of free wifi across the north of the US? Did everyone keep their tents at least 100 paces away from the food lock box?

[@dougfinch452]

I look forward to your videos! Great trip so far. Q: what tires are you running on the Checkpoint and have you had any flats?

[@SummeRulz]

I want to work on my tan doing that too

[@markwhite4295]

Another great video. Ali and Ryan, trim those helmet straps. Don't think your heads will grow bigger. Plus, think of the weight savings!

[@rideswithscissors]

I am guessing that you took the rail trail back north and did the Ashton/Flagg Ranch Road. That road is part of the Great Divide Route. It is fun to see it again! But the route leaves the pavement just before Dubois.

[@duzer]

Yep, we loved that route, so peaceful and beautiful

[@davidoliver6408]

Sure glad you helped save a bear...

[@tonycastro6805]

World

[@DanielCanfield]

a stop sign at 1:21 on a gravel path? lol

[@madmaxbike3446]

🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@JGstunts22]

Glad I found this series . How long were you gone total ? Also how did you guys not get tired? I am in good shape but I dont think I could right 15 hours a day over and over and over for what I'm assuming was over a month at least lol

[@helsdon71]

Ryan, have you ever tried ( Tannus , airfom, or swhallbe urban airless tires)... ?

[@duzer]

I havent

[@steenkroghgroennebaek9143]

At 3:07 does anyone know the name of the song? My 7 year old daughter loves it! Really like your videos and it’s good preparation for my own bike across America trip.

[@duzer]

It's called WONDERS AGST Remix. Have fun on your ride across the USA!

[@steenkroghgroennebaek9143]

That was quick! Thanks Ryan!

[@millercao9065]

just have a question, when u go go to the bike shop to like tune the bike and make some adjustments, is there any cost?

[@bulldozer7656]

Ok, just like your "I'm falling in love, 50 miles thru copper canyon" video narration... Can we get it from Ali's perspective? I'm gonna keep asking bro..

[@tonycastro6805]

Beary

[@yukiinu5534]

Take bear/food warnings seriously. I have seen bears in Seaquia National park campground do things attracted by a drop of Apple juice and other tiny food smells, at all times of the day and night.

[@dagobaker]

would love the ride... but the FOOD......... not so much.....

[@douglasherr4645]

If they don't see you, the people in their cars, do you think they'll see ypur little light?

[@duzer]

any little bit helps

[@reanimator540]

Try and get a bike fit it may cure your knee pain. It cured mine.

[@TheTWhite]

May I ask what song starts at 3:05? I have heard it in several videos and was curious about it!

[@mhernandez4576]

Trent White it too has grown on me...need artist!!

[@mikenewberry4064]

I liked the music before that at 1:05
