Gravel Bikes CAN'T Handle This!

[@tjbarke6086]

I need a cycling buddy as awesome as Ron.

[@JRmntain]

A cycling accessory guaranteed to make you ride more.

[@dannystarkridesfixed]

I think we all do. I ride alone so anyone’s welcome. Don’t always mind it. But some days I do since I used to have a lot of friends to ride with. Until life changed.

[@juanaq]

i just wonder the amount of patience someone has to have to endure riding with a youtuber. i mean, you have to stop every 100m to get a cool shot, go back in your way to re do an interesting part of the path, wait for him when he stop at every nice view, listen to the guy speaking alone to his camera, try to produce a funny answer to the youtuber questions, etcetc. and i imagine that the amount of shots and interactions we see is just a fraction of the total footage recorded. so kudos to Ron, for making Dustin's work more beautiful...er.

[@pault477]

you didn't rip the logo off? WTF?

[@pault477]

just a gorgeous bike ride. incredible video shots with the drone.

[@monguzzle]

It's really nice to see mountain bikes ridden on MOUNTAINS, instead of obsessively graded and groomed trail networks.

[@javierandresfajardo6552]

Man. I gotta say. You are pushing me through the last weeks before my last exam (BAR like), it’s 24 oct 10:00, a year of studying tons of subjects. I just want to grab my bike and go everywhere after it. Thanks for so much quality content. Cheers from Chile!

[@318isGood]

Dustin. Hell yeah. This might be my favorite video of yours to date. Super fun, super informative, a super masterpiece. Keep up the stellar work, Player!!

[@MW-ud8zp]

Your approach to riding mountainbikes is very close to my heart and I feel its one that is missing from todays KZbin landscape and its awesome to see you showcasing it.

[@groverhamann]

Thanks!

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

You the best! THANK YOU

[@Simte]

The cinematography, absolute kino.

[@juanaq]

cycling every day on an eternal plain as i do, this trail unlocked on me a new level of envy. also the jacket. and the bike. and the truck. and the quilt. and the cycling companion. that hat... well, not that much

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

😂🤣😂🤣

[@KahluaBomb]

When you do it at midnight on a full moon, it's even better.

[@johnnydoe66]

I wish we had an active volcano near us to ride awesome singletrack on. That route looked absolutely epic.

[@paulvanreesch2493]

I'm hemmed in by four active stroads that I dare you to ride and remain alive. Now, that's real adventure.

[@nilramos8196]

Dude, the scenic beauty of the part of the world you live in is just ridiculous!

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

We are forever grateful for this insane area!

[@VelcorHF]

Oh wow, is that an active volcano? You should have mentioned it man. I have a mustard honcho poncho I love. Works great for keeping warm at camp and a light weather sleeping quilt. Ponchos are hella underrated.

[@tevemullins8156]

Nice choice on the jacket. Even better production. That crest trail looked amazing‼️

[@billhulley]

Thank you for sharing your amazing landscape. I've been curious about the fjallraven-specialized rain poncho for a while and have been looking for meaningful reviews or just someone else that has used it in anger. It's a fairly expensive piece so I'm hesitant to put the cash down just yet. On paper it looks to be what I need to keep riding in the more interesting (and wet) parts of the UK over the winter.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Love this question!! I used a poncho several years ago thought it would be the best thing ever. Got a speedy cycling rain poncho. Used it twice. They are really bad with wind. And when we ride we create wind. Unless you slow rolling on a clam drizzle day. They are not worth the effort. Rain jacket and pull over rain pants(for commuting) are def the way to go. IMHO Hope this helps.

[@drill_fiend1097]

So jealous of this trip. Ive only looked St Helens from distance but now that I want to go on off road cycling this looks like an interesting place to tour with a bike.

[@arcadialive4265]

Fjallraven has great products. Careful with their wool. I washed mine on cold and it shrunk to a kids size. Although my sister was not complaining and ran off with her free gift 😂. I will add that Fjallraven service was willing to replace it. But having owned a lot of wool I have never seen go down several sizes after a cleaning.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Great insight. Ive only had their pants(which I love) I honestly didn't know they had much wool product...this might be why

[@themihaherbst]

Amazing ride with best buds...what more can you want 😎🤙 ...and the scenery is just beautiful out there. You make absolutely the best reviews of things and your content is just one of the best things on YT...and your sense of humor wins every time 👊🤣

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Thank you for your uplifting words!

[@PeatSea-2112]

Hallelujah!! A bike channel that's fun, informative, creative, fast paced, never a dull moment 🎉 Bye bye data-obsessed GCN 👍

[@marcokalle2452]

Sweet ride 🤘🏽 and Fjällraven gear rocks! That G1000 fabric is almost indestrucrable it seems, still got one of their trekking pants which i bought almost a decade ago 💪🏽and kudo's for using that Jim Bunkley blues song 😎

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

All this YES!

[@peterknight7880]

Dustin, Washington / Oregon looks like a great place for a trip. Could you do a video of the 5 best gravel / XC rides in the region please?

[@davidrowe8747]

Amazing scenery. We don't have anything resembling that here in the Lickey Hills, so it's a nice bit of escapism to sit here in my home office watching your videos.

[@anthonidanowski9404]

i love that loop but i hate the upper smith part. just ruined a good shoulder on one of those switchbacks. oh the climb out kinda sucks.

[@benjaminboyer296]

I love the Creole part in the soundtrack!

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Good ear!

[@apleparulo3958]

The S/F Wind jacket is great, too.

[@kevinthomson6324]

I like when companies just try different things, don’t just do the same thing everyone else is doing. Push some boundaries learn something new.

[@robgrey1147]

i got the shorts the other month and they have quickly become my favorite article of clothing ever. it's like they read my mind when they designed them. the only thing i miss is a hip pocket for a quick place to put gloves, but the cargo pockets totally make up for it. i have two friends who have the onesie, i haven't seen it in action yet, though.

[@timporter8886]

That ride was so sketchy in parts that I'm surprised you guys didn't attempt it on gravel bikes..haha..I mean..full suspension, where's the fun in that!?!?😂 Great post fellas! Premium enjoyment.👍

[@loganhunt8666]

Hey Dustin, if you ever get the chance I think you would love the Pinhoti Trails over in Georgia. Super pretty place with some sweet singletrack! Gravel roads for days as well in the area.

[@joecalarco2227]

a subscriber, love your vids. can i ask, with you in the back country so often, cell service must be out. do you bring some sort of SOS equipment? if you don't have an iphone? Thanks

[@mysteriousMatchStick]

I'll take the DK designed vest and hat. Also, very cool ride.

[@mexber]

Super late to the party but I was wondering if anyone has info on the backpack that Dustin is wearing on the video? I really liked the fjallraven jacket but it’s way over my budget. Also being from Portland, are you familiar with a brand called Showers pass? I think they make great cycling apparel for commuters.

[@pgn666]

10:20 oh lord, thx they did not think that white (with a pointy hood), was a good color for that Quilt :D

[@caveboy9988]

Nice work Dustin. I like this style video. Do more opinion on clothing design. I was thinking the other day why we don’t have more jerseys with front pockets like the old days.

[@tjboegle]

ive got the fyalllenravgennn X specialized cycling shorts and i didnt want to like them, but i love them. may have to check this jacket out.

[@theycallmesteven29]

Still rocking a reel tree camo, black tie dye and commotion hoodie from you back in the day!

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

This makes my day!!

[@SoManyMiles]

Damn, I want to have an active volcano in my neighborhood and a blue anorak by Fjällräven Specialized now. What a mess…and beautiful video.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

I am a HOT MESS! 😜

[@iAmPesukone]

Hey Dustin, I've absolutely loved your videos for a while now, keep at it! 10:00 as a professional Finnish person, a neighbor to Swedes and a bit of a nitpicker, Fjällräven is pronounced with the letter E replacing the Ä letters. So, Fyell-rehven, or [ˈfjɛ̂lːˌrɛːvɛn] if you're into IPA. I got the hybrid fannypack-rucksack and it's great for both cycling and music festivals. Maybe a bit heavy for just a fannypack, but roomy, and the backpack portion is useful for picking up a bit of groceries on the evening commute or at the end of a ride.

[@Downhillsmoothtarmac]

Man I love your approach to your cycling…….and jackets 😂

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

My heart is full!

[@SeanLeach]

Which purple Patagonia layer were you wearing at the end?

First time I hear haitian music (AKA konpa) on a bike video. Thanks for posting this.

[@phreadi]

Please drag Ron et al up my other fav St. Helens routes, Goat Mountain loop and Toutlepop.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

We need to get on these routes!

[@user-gu4lg4ch1x]

Loved the moon landing reference .... But they did you know!?😂

[@simirving]

Your videos are awesome.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

I appreciate that!

[@simirving]

@@EverythingsBeenDone you’re welcome. Have a lovely day.

[@adamgengenbach8183]

That jacket is cool! And I dig the functionality of the rug blanket thing- you can use it to keep warm in camp, sleep in, or participate in the Mexican revolution in it. It like totally bridges the gaps

[@ichwilleswissen1376]

Still love my DKlein Chrome Vest. When will we see another DKlein Collab?

Hopefully sooner then later

7mesh is best. Not as hipster friendly as fjallraven but its made by the same creators as arcteryx and made here in the PNW. I just picked up the thunder pants this year and theyre amazing.

great suggestion! I would love to try these out as well.

Slick kit pieces. Hard not to ❤. I just have to ask if your “solar” shower might get a heat boost somehow for all of those dry Portland days. Figure you if anyone could come up with an efficidnt way to heat one for those Wet Coast days.

[@ovtj]

This weekend looks like a great time to do the route. Would you take a hardtail or stick with the Exie?

[@cwprinting]

Dustin, Do you still have a promo code with Competitive Cyclist?

This ride reminds me of the Palm Canyon Epic.

[@sixtwenty2181]

Love the jacket, not sure on the MooMoo...kinda has Homer Simpson vibes haha. RIP clothing brand

[@jonamcc]

as a self-professed “hot person” I envy those who run cold. I can’t ride in any fun fashionable cycling “hybrid” garments without absolutely sweating through them. I had an era of wearing grav casual button ups and such, but I’ve recently converted to dedicated lycra and performance road cycling stuff. It still gets sweat through but it’s supposed to, and feels comfortable when I do.

[@bah5310]

The poncho gives you a Grimace vib.

[@claudiomannoni5557]

Hey .bro .. you can avoid cold water shower by boiling a pair of liters and then mixing up in the tank

[@JoeCincotta307]

I need that jacket in my life

[@Schlem]

Where does Ron sleep? I feel like he's got a camping story to tell. OR does he just bail on you after the ride, heading home for the cheese?

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

He bails so fast after rides. It’s honestly impressive.
