I’m astounded that a couple of people don’t like this video. As always, Katie, you give us the feeling we’re part of it. Get some rest; longer day tomorrow (but more down!).

[@147AndyH]

Yeah weird isn't it? There's obviously some miserable people around, nine...just why!! Cool vid, awesome views😎

[@John-mh8cw]

You and your friends make me smile so much and inspire me to go out for a ride (I am only 78) so here goes.

[@lunastrat]

I'm a cyclist from California and I've been there many times, but i've never ridden it. I watched your SF video and became home sick because I grew up in the bay area and have ridden across that bridge. Love these series of video's.

[@davidstihler9689]

It just warms my heart watching you do this - we did Luther Pass in June and got into snow - it’s so cool reliving that adventure- so impressive - everyone seems so darn nice on your tour- what an adventure- be safe

[@joefenech6839]

Amazing ride, Katie! Big congrats to El for the 2k threshold. That’s a huge accomplishment! You guys are more familiar with California than most locals ! I looking forward to the next installment. Your videos are also very well produced!

[@hotdog9025]

What goes up must come... What a ride - looks like fun!

[@WiseSkies144]

Absolutely love this Katie. You guys have done an amazing job and the scenery is beautiful. Well done to you all. xx

[@cyclingxventures]

[@darrellcarter1163]

[@KatieKookaburra]

[@johnnydoe66]

Just watched this amazing ride to motivate myself to get out this morning, only my views aren't as amazing.....great job to all of you

[@rascalbiker]

Welcome to CA! So glad you’re enjoying the rides. Are you riding Phil’s Fondo this weekend in LA?

[@stephenjeffreys4219]

Fantastic footage - many thanks for sharing it with us - heavenly! Best of luck for tomorrow

[@leftymadrid]

Fantastic!!!!!!!! That's some raw cycling for sure, ouch on the legs!!!! Very well done indeed!!!!!

[@CARBDOPING]

Doing the "California Adventure" Proper!

[@czarinajeananonuevo9075]

love this!!!

[@ChrisHallRides]

Elle is my hero. X

[@ciclocoyote5302]

Wow, what a beautiful ride.

[@deaglain]

I think the word your looking for katie is 'AWESOME!!' surely, considering where you are. And apt too.

[@treyquattro]

love the way you accept fixing flats with aplomb. I'd be swearing up a storm. Do you carry a repair kit too, or just extra tubes?

[@Skw-lincs]

Great videos!! I've said it once and i'll say it again...if you love CA roads/hills.....you'd LOVE Colorado! I don't think you'd want to ever leave, you've been warned, hehe....awesome job as always.

[@jonstacchio]

Really great footage of the Californian Alps Katie! - although referring to Elise's derrière as a nice view at 08:10 was getting a bit personal perhaps? ;)

[@luismedeiros7139]

Another lesson learned, sometimes you have to ride trough a huge different temperatures when you ride XD I sometimes star riding at zero Celsius and at the middle of the ride it's hitting 35 degrees :P Loving this american trip, looking forward for my adventure on the west coast next year :) again, thank you for sharing.

[@MiniEggs1999]

Loved it when you went into full outdoor correspondent mode ....poor elise she could hardly talk 😆

[@Tchairdjian]

I was expecting you guys to drive the coastal route. Instead you went inland through Lake Tahoe. It’s a different kind of beauty. Tahoe gets a couple of meters of snow in the winter, no wonder you were cold. But, if you have a chance to google some images from Highway 1 by Carmel, Monterey and Big Sur. You’ll be gob smacked with the incredible views.

[@timcollins340]

PCH1 is great to drive, even better on a motorcycle, but not so good on a bike - especially if you like climbing! But it’s certainly pretty.

[@tahntalus]

I just met a guy who said hes gonna do this on his santa cruz chameleon? Have you ever seen any hardtails try this epic feat? If so what was their setup?

[@KatieKookaburra]

I haven't...

[@asicsrunner11]

Katie, I noticed you had a band-aid on your finger. Did you cut it trying to fix your flat?

[@KatieKookaburra]

Very observant... no I cut it cleaning the steamer tray of a rice cooker! Haha!! Not cycling related :)

[@paulsanchez4141]

Your too funny I love it ! Looks cold!

[@thankyoujesus2836]

Pleeeease make a vid on what you took and how it all went down, you mentioned a car, they carry stuff for you? Where do you sleep? Waah I’m so excited for you lol 😆

[@KatieKookaburra]

I basically took my bike, clothes and a rice cooker! It was an organised trip with Black Sheep Adventures. They carried out stuff in the day and we stayed in motels / hotels at night. Was amazing!!!

[@thankyoujesus2836]

Katie Kookaburra sooo darrrn cool wahhh!!! Thanks so much for sharing all this!!!

[@grahamelliott6041]

Breathtaking, fine, lovely, magnificent, spectacular, splendid, stunning, superb, wonderful, commanding panoramic, majestic, magical, fairy tale, heart stopping, 'like Wales on steroids'..maybe not..
