Cycling Through The Snow | Bikepacking 8,500 Miles from California to Nova Scotia | E1: California

[@travelspot06]

First off, I am so sorry about the audio! I am working on getting better for the next one! Secondly, what bike packing trips are you planning for this year!? Leave a note in the comments!

RAGBRAI in July. You should come to Iowa for the week long ride. I've met many Californians and West Coast riders on the ride and some from abroad.

@@IowaNinersFan Totally! It is on my list! I actually lived in Iowa for about six months, but it was not in July! I had a bunch of coworkers who rode Ragbrai and loved it! What is your favorite thing about Ragbrai?

Love your videos! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for watching and commenting! I appreciate it! I am having a great time making them, even if I still need to work on my production skills!

Type 2 fun from the start! The best kind of adventure fun! Nice to see a Marin Bike on an adventure!

[@travelspot06]

Yes, it got off to a fun start for sure. You know what though, when it starts like that, you really appreciate some of the things that you may have complained of before! Ironically I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area and ran in the Marin hills (home of mountain biking) for years, and only accidentally ended up with a Marin bike! To be honest, I did have some issues with parts, but I don't want to get ahead of myself in the story! :) Thanks for watching!

Nice to see a Marin Bike on the road, period!!! Have never ridden one but would love to own one someday (other bikes get in the way you know how that goes lol.)

[@travelspot06]

@@IowaNinersFan There are so many to choose from and as a person who had never bought a bike before it was a little overwhelming! And of course once I got on the road and saw everyone else's stuff, I have even more idea of what I want but there are still a lot of choices!

Wow! Such drama right from day 1! Can't wait to see how the rest of the long trip unfolds. Great camera work but it was hard to hear some of the audio at times.

[@travelspot06]

Yes, it started off with a bang. I was really trying to stay on dirt, but nature was not having it! Thanks for the feedback; I was filming on a GoPro with no mic, but I will definitely try to work on my audio settings!
