Clicked on this thinking it would be a timelapse or just music over the video. Was pleasantly surprised to hear the narration. Really loved this.

Amazing all around. Vacationing/ biking with your dad, planning out all the logistics, taking the whole experience in, making sure you had battery to document it all, then taking the footage and editing it so nicely accompanied by commentary. Kudos!

I appreciate that! It was a great time too.

As always Brian wonderful story telling, cinematography with the 360 and editing. These rides with your Dad and son will stay with you forever. Your Dad is a trooper! And as you mentioned in the end your video's encouraged me to ride this trail this summer. Best of luck riding around the lakes. Multiple smaller SD cards is a way to go!

What an amazing comment Nate! I appreciate it. And yes, never more than a day's video on an SD card from here on out.

I passed you and your father on my way back to Centerburg, just south of Mt. Vernon. Made it home before the storm! Thanks for sharing your journey.

@briansadventures 5 ай бұрын

Hi there! Did you shout out after we passed? Glad to here you made it back before the storm - it came down heavy that evening.

@Atlas1870 5 ай бұрын

@@briansadventures I did not. By the time it registered who you were I was too far along. Did you happen to catch the two Amish boys on roller blades?

Glad to see you're still at it and rode it again. I really need to get out there and ride more than just the alumni creak trail. Finding a week off of work and my wife willing to take me to trail heads will be the most difficult part of that type of journey.

I understand. I was lucky to have my son help with the drop off and pick up this time.

@ericwerner9605 4 ай бұрын

I like your dad's strategy of using the motor only when necessary. Nice video.

@briansadventures 4 ай бұрын

Thanks! Yes, the motor only kicked in to provide some assist when pedaling. I've tried it, and it's still work for sure, just makes your legs feel a little stronger.

I enjoyed your video immensely! I've ridden many rides in the past including the C&O and GAP trails (the whole trip as well as sections), Vermont (five day ride with Adventure Cycling when it was a reasonable price back in the day), RAGBRAI and bike packing with friends in Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania. I really want to ride the OTET and only have to work out getting to and from the start/finish. Hope to perhaps take a shuttle from Cleveland where my buddies live to Cincinnati, ride back to Cleveland and then drive back to my home near Toledo. We would tent camp although those hotels look pretty temping too. I'd bet your father is a bit older than me so if he can do it I suppose I can too. Keep making those videos and I'll be watching. You've inspired me! P.S. Thanks for the great links in the description.

@briansadventures 4 ай бұрын

What a kind comment Andy! I hope you work out the OTET, it sounds like you have a great start on that. In the past, I've camped as much of the way that I could - always ended up at a hotel in Columbus though. There are some great spots to camp.

@glen4130 5 ай бұрын

Very enjoyable video. I have only done sections of the trail, your video makes me want to do the whole thing.

@briansadventures 5 ай бұрын

Thank you Glen! Its great to have a resource for each section, but doing the entire trail is a great journey too.

@tompritch56 Ай бұрын

Great video. I just finished a 3 day 2 night camping on the OTET. Rode from Cinci to London. Watching your video inspires me to do the same route except extend my distance over to Loraine, OH. Did you take the trail through Columbus on the east side of the city?

@briansadventures Ай бұрын

Thank you. I bet you had a good time. Through Columbus, I take the original Eastern version of the trail, going through Alum Creek. I have not tried the western version, but I really enjoy the Alum Creek.

I live in Ohio and am new to biking, I find it odd we need double yellow lines on a bicycle trail

@briansadventures 10 күн бұрын

I don't find any consistency with bike trail markings. Most often, I don't see any markings.

@billluke8965 4 ай бұрын

Im curious of the model aventon your dad rode and did he bring a spare battery

@briansadventures 4 ай бұрын

It is an Aventon Level 2. Yes, he did carry an extra battery. He could have done 50 or so with one battery, but not more than 60 without recharging during the ride. We probably could have managed that - charging it during lunch on longer days. But carrying an extra made it easier.
