Hot Springs Camp Along Payette River-Ryan and Ali Bike Across America-Ep 8

[@duzer]

Good Morning #TeamDuzer ! We're making our way through Idaho and absolutely loving it! This is my first time to this beautiful state and I'm very impressed with the landscapes and the friendly people. Hope you all enjoy this episode, we had a great time bathing in hot springs and talking with our new friends Matt and his daughter Anna.

[@Owlecks123]

If you and Ali ever get married... Can my wife and I come to your celebration? You're both great! My wife and I got married at 17 and 20 years of age. We are now going on 20 years in October. We would love to celebrate with you if you 2 every "tie the knot"!

[@BBQSKI]

Wait until you hit the sawtooths just a few more miles down the road..... incredible scenery

[@Nor_Phi]

Hey Ryan, are you going to make your route available to your followers? I'm going down through the US next year, I wouldn't mind going from coast to coast too.

[@BlokHed75]

Ryan Van Duzer motorcyclists and cyclists seem to have a lot in common, always looking out for each other because both are always vulnerable. At first I thought the millionaire thing was a joke, felt like a bit of a jerk after he explained it

[@andrewmazzoccoli5304]

Ryan Van Duzer Bru i love you guys

[@dml5053]

Favorite interview so far that guy on the motorcycle with his daughter....you hit gold with that Ryan!!

[@prayerwheeljpf4239]

I saw a meme today that reminded me of your eating habits on this trip. Quote: "It doesn't matter how old you are, buying snacks on a road trip should always look like an unsupervised 9-year-old was just given $100". Sound familiar?

[@AlisaGeiser]

prayerwheel jpf 😆🙈 nailed it

[@govegan562]

this is a very underrated series

[@duzer]

Glad you're enjoying it!

[@fixitup76]

Thank you for sharing our interview. I really admire what you guys are doing. I will continue to watch and share you videos. It was a absolute pleasure to meet you guys.

[@duzer]

Creative IT WAS SO GREAT MEETING YOU! seriously, we’ve been talking about you since the moment we met. Thanks again for sharing your heart with us. See you down the road.

[@fixitup76]

Ryan Van Duzer I look forward to the day I get to meet you and Allie “down the road”. Safe travels

[@AlisaGeiser]

It was such a pleasure & inspiration meeting you two as well! I love your commitment to father-daughter adventures. Such a beautiful thing to share with each other and the rest of us. Thanks again 💛

[@stevemerkle9663]

On these 30° high temp days I’m always coming back to you and Ali for my cycling fix for the day. 🙌 You two are awesome as well as the guy and his daughter! Still gets me after all these years!🤙

[@duzer]

Love hearing this! Hope my videos can keep you warm through the winter

[@RedfieldmediaCoUk]

That interview really choked me up

[@daniellehenny2307]

I've told Ryan that he is everything that's great in the world. I can't imagine anyone having a negative experience with him. I'm such an introvert and usually I naturally drift away from extroverts, but Ryan has such a genuine vibe, it's different. He has definitely met his match and you two are wonderful together. Thanks for sharing your adventure.

[@AlisaGeiser]

Danielle Henny that he is! It’s that pure corazón ... he pulls out the best in us (even us introverts 🙈😉)

[@perlashipp4251]

WOW! You guys are making the best videos ever, each video is better than the one before. Can’t thank you enough for taking us with you on this awesome journey. I have fallen in love with every person you have encounter along the trip. As always, much love to both of you, please stay safe.

[@stephenwhite546]

By far the best advice was from the biker and his daughter . I’m actually getting a lot out of your adventure . 😊🚲

[@scottb7835]

This keeps getting better and better!

[@moosefactory133]

Hot springs look so relaxing

[@Tom-ol9em]

"Cholula please give us money" lol 😂

[@AlisaGeiser]

Thomas Everson we’d take a Valentina endorsement too!

[@ScottyOnespeed]

People are amazing !

[@jazztime4847]

Gotta love the power of love.

[@FirstnameLastname-bp5cm]

This series is one of the coolest things on the internet.

[@blain5827]

Watching the series for a second time 👍✊✌️

[@duzer]

I appreciate that!!

[@PathfinderGregg]

You guys have found some awesome roads with amazing scenery and very little traffic. The scenery and solitude alone is worth the effort. And the people you have met is just icing on the cake. Great videos.

[@breckenridgeexpert]

You are my people. I found you!

[@TheTWhite]

6:43 The face and attitude change after the thought of a new sponsorship opportunity had me laughing!

[@lindzee924]

Just beautiful......and the drone shots are breathtaking.

[@SreekanthAcharya]

"Cholula, please give us money" cracked me up harder than it should've.

[@duzer]

;)

[@scottpriolo4560]

I think that breakfast crepe at 6:07 has changed my life! 1000 calories of pure awesomeness!

[@luitgi]

Another great video Ali and Ryan

[@alexharris5985]

You did AGAIN; another epic episode with scenery ( OMG!!!) food, authenticity in every shot and honest insight on love and commitment in relationships....Thank you both

[@shaggyrunner]

Idaho is the best! Glad you are enjoying our State!

[@williammacqueen1418]

I’m a big fan and am in the midst of my own tour, so its nice to keep up cause I can relate to the physical demands of bicycle touring. Ryan, you’ve outdone yourself on this video....very good production quality.

[@henryjacobsen6873]

It looks like he won in raising her Christian. 😊 Beautiful necklace and amazing people! Thank you for bringing us this.

[@abirakbar9809]

That interview was amazing, straight from the heart.

[@duzer]

I agree

[@MoyMacGill]

So glad you have 2 months for this trip oh and the drone footage WOW even in the wide-open plans. Thanks Friends

[@warcloud777]

1:23 --- Huckleberries are commonly found in WA, OR, AK, CA, UT, CO, WY and a few other states too, not just ID and MT. They grow throughout a lot of Canada as well.

[@karencooper6634]

haha, I lived in Lowman years ago, rented a small cabin, worked for the forest service and spent my free time in the hot springs....I am loving your adventures, pure bliss.

[@duzer]

Very cool, what a beautiful area!

[@Coolness59]

I started watching your adventures late, but better late than never, right? 😀 I smile all the way through each episode. Thank you for this great adventure!! You and Ali give me motivation to do this when I retire. 😎

[@brianbechtol7329]

Life at 15 mph. I like that

[@wanderingsailor5503]

Alisa May Geiser hey there ✌️✋

[@JonLeeUsa]

[@AlisaGeiser]

Jon Lee 🙏🏽🌸

[@biketothetop]

The comradery is about 2 wheels! I was 1st a hiker, a road bicyclist, then a hiker, scrambler, climber, then I became a mtn biker, then a dirt moto/dual=sport guy! Great moving video!

[@dimrub]

...if they do, you'll probably be the first athlete, endorsed by a hot sauce manufacturer. Glad to see Ali is becoming more active in the production.

[@IWANTTHATVIDEOS]

I want that bike ride!

[@stephenturp2836]

Ryan, you could easily get a job for the Idaho tourist board. Looks amazing. Thanks for posting mate. 🇬🇧🇺🇸👍🏻

[@jones328]

Beautiful views!

[@bitchoflivingblah]

My word, what a profound video, I loved the filming, but the interviews were really special. Thanks.

[@adventurebycycle7937]

Really loving this series. Thank you for sharing your adventure!

[@88blackandwhite88]

7:25 I seriously got goosebumps watching this. So beautiful. I can't wait to get out on the road again and see such beautiful places and meet beautiful people like Matt and his daughter. I'm so glad I found this.

[@duzer]

I'm glad that you found this too! Happy trails my man! *cool name by the way

[@88blackandwhite88]

@@duzer lol I was going to say the same 😎

[@danaelizabethx]

I am really loving the people you are meeting and the advice they are giving! What an amazing adventure!

[@gravelsasquatch6430]

I love gravel. And I love Ryan and Ali too! The solitude and peacefulness of gravel roads has it all for me. Keep them smiles outta your pockets and let the good vibes roll.. HI5s!!!!

[@mateodiego3481]

Another great video guys. Keep them coming. I love Idaho. We drove up to watch the eclipse with my cousin in Boise. We actually watched it right there along the river just outside of Horseshoe Bend. Super great memories of an awesome day there.

[@axlent123]

That father daughter motorcycle ride thing… Amazing! I would love to get out and do some one on one with one of my kids… i’m just getting back from a short camping trip up in Columbia Gorge, cut short by the wildfires and smoke! We had hoped to go rafting or kayaking, but the smoke had other ideas for us! Still, it was great getting away with some of my boys !

[@carlswanson2393]

"We love to play together" Perfect! so true!

[@adrianc1577]

Main that was great i love it guys.

[@shanebennett6857]

You should have gone east, as you missed hot springs heaven. Lava Hot Springs Idaho

"Happiness is when you look at your children and realize they are better people than you"

[@ScottyOnespeed]

That should be the goal of all parents.

[@4DRX]

M Hernandez you correct I’m glad mine are very proud parent

[@Goblinn99]

Awesome videos Ryan and Ali. You guys are the only people I follow on You Tube where I have turned notifications “on”! At the end of you ride, please publish your route. I live in the PNW, and would love to retrace your steps through my home turf.

[@jackshults9197]

I will keep watching your video✌️

[@flpirate45]

Now that was a most Beautiful video to watch. The scenery and the heart felt moments. Thanks

[@treyhorak]

Ali's burrito!! I want that! I'm going through this whole playlist and first of all it is awesome! I watch a couple of you videos everyday and it makes me want to find someone to do this with. I have been happily single for a little while now but would love to find someone to do this with.

[@slackstation]

[@giacdeg]

Bless. Your videos, the people you are meeting and the experiences you are having are letting me seriously question what exactly I'm doing at the moment. Stay ride. (I'm a biker too and that's our traditional well wishing where I'm from.)

[@migpereira]

But this particular episode just made me want to visit Idaho... looking forward to binge watching the rest of the lovecycles... congrats on both of you and great editing and shooting... go easy on the Mexican spicy😏… cheers from Portugal!

[@windmillcancersurvivor2568]

A shout out to your producer for all the aerial shots and the Idaho State Highway Dept. for that sick stretch of roadway. Pedal Power!

[@Jesiahjesiah]

Really appreciate you two sharing your journey! The interview at the end, so good. Looking forward to all the rest and wishing you both the best.

[@russellpeterson1534]

Wow....Best Video Yet! Very Special.

[@AlexisNeely]

You two are the best! I'm so glad Ali came into your life. It has me want to watch it all now. :)

[@tomlackey3124]

This will be known as the R&A route across America ! I know and you know Trek makes good stuff, but somewhere at Trek someone’s holding their breath hoping the Checkpoints make it !

[@chadmorgan6817]

Ry, this video was so well done. Sheesh.

[@duzer]

Chad Morgan thanks my friend. Happy 4th! Saw some FUDGESICLES in the store the other day, thought of you:)

[@jocelynvandevelde3834]

This was my favorite :)

[@jocelynvandevelde3834]

So far, of course.

[@mattxdillon]

Those people you interviewed are really cool.

[@MackeyFamAdventures]

Beautiful drone bike shots!!

[@toastandpoop]

As always another stunning video! Stay safe out there

[@AlpineNomad]

Love the videos! Keep them coming!

[@markwhite4295]

Great episode. Ali is getting a biker tan!

[@pinguim766]

thanks:)

[@johnnydoe66]

I happened upon your videos of your cross country trip with Ali by accident, but I love them so much that I have went back and watched all of them. I thoroughly enjoy the diversity of people's take on Love and relationships. I definitely believe if you two make it the whole way, you can make it forever. I have been with my Wonderful Wife for 21 yrs, my two cents is; Don't try and change your partner because you're two distinct individuals and have different ideas, opinions, interests, etc. Be prepared to compromise and not always have things go "Your" way. A Relationship takes work and isn't always a fairy tail, because fairy tales have villains too, but if you truly Love one another you can destroy those villains together....Good luck and keep the rubber side down. 🚴‍♂️+🚴‍♀️=💖

[@AlisaGeiser]

John Day solid advice, thanks friend! 🙏🏽🌻

[@KevinBoland215]

Good video. I notice Ali getting more use the camera and part of the production. Today, in 1890 Idaho became a state on today's date of July 3rd. #funfact

[@itsallspent]

Out of the saddle , good job Ali, Trying to follow along on google maps so a mention of a road, river name or town is welcome.

[@AlisaGeiser]

James Webster thanks! Are you on Instagram? We post almost every day to our stories with current location - @duzer & @alisageiser

[@itsallspent]

No not on instagram. I will google it Thanks

[@juanisraelroblesbarrera]

Excellent video Ali and Ryan regards From Mexico and Ryan I am reading the book that recommended me (NORTH)

[@ayalabea]

Love the videos, envy you guys!

[@sapinva]

PSA: You can get Cholula in up to 64oz bottles (5oz is for a single sitting). It is apparently the only healthy food you ever eat.

[@Brandontw9]

You guys are doing a beautiful thing. I live in Upstate NY on the west edge of the Catskills. When you guys get close I would love to bring some friends along to share a ride or share some food!

[@AlisaGeiser]

Brandontw9 🙏🏽🍦 we’ll be there in a month or so!

[@TalesfromtheGreenway]

But all those beans! 😂

[@duzer]

haha

[@lostman65]

awesome video guys. p.s. ali's tan is amazing!!

[@timschroepfer2385]

I'm loving the updates on your adventure!! Wish i could do something similar, having separated and divorced 3 years ago from a 30 yr marriage - i've returned to my bicycle(s) after moving back to Minnesota from a 8 year stint in Colorado in 1988. Once i figure out who i am now and what i have to offer a new partner, i'm hoping to find that new special someone to share with. Stay safe and enjoy your journey!!

[@boatrvme8478]

32 yr. Marriage for me and just purchased my first mountain bike and having a blast!

[@farmdaddio]

See you two at Lucky's Cafe upon your return. :-)

[@davidcamp9119]

Ahh, a beautiful girl, a handsome guy enjoying each other’s company and the spectacular gravel roads of Idaho from the seat of you bikes! Do you two know how many of us are following you’re story wishing we could be doing it with you instead of being stuck in Atlanta doing dentistry. Makes me wish I could ride 25 miles with you guys on my Trek Domane Gravel I just got earlier this year. But seriously Ryan, I saw in the video earlier that Ali’s never to close behind you or in front of you on the road. With all that junk food you’re eating and beans I wouldn’t want to be too close either. Please eat some vegetables!

[@AlisaGeiser]

David Camp 😆 my mom just visited & fed is our first fresh veggies in 267 miles!!

[@DanielCanfield]

Should have tried and Idaho Spud Candy bar when you were out here

[@duzer]

Next time, sounds good!

[@douglasherr4645]

Did you miss Lava hot springs? If you did some day return, it's great!!

[@jeanLo215]

Hey Ryan, give the camera to Ali. Would be also nice to see her point of view. Great job guys!

[@ronheiland6250]

Thanks for making these inspiring videos! I actually did it and GOT OUT THERE. I'm 45 and have been commuting by bicycle to work for a month now. I'm so devoted I sold my truck so I have no other choice but to ride a bike. It was extremely hard at first, but now I feel better than I EVER have in my whole life! My boss at work says since this I have a more positive attitude. Fellow employees all made fun of me, but I think now they are starting to look at me with inspiration. I just found your channel and have been watching this series and I have some love advice. 2 of the points of advice given to me came up in this video, so I thought I would share it. Been married 22 years and in the beginning I searched for love advice too. An old French woman told me love is a pastry that they call FLANS. FORGIVENESS LIMITS ADAPTION NO EXIT SPONTANEITY You forgive but you have to draw a line in the sand of where your limits are. You each will change as you age and you need to adapt to one another. And if that person is a different person than you married don't make that the reason you want to exit. Spontaneity is the spice, doesn't have to be flowers either. It can be a surprise place to go, or a gift they never saw coming, or doing something for the other that is way out of character. I already see from watching you guys that you already have this recipe. I want to do a bike tour with my wife. You know how motorcyclists have rallies, maybe there could be a couples bicycle rally. Like for a week to see some scenic wonder! I think that would be an awesome adventure.

[@duzer]

Thank you so much for sharing this, I love it, Flans!! I don't even know you and I'm proud of you. You made a big change that was assuredly a tough decision, but you followed through with it and now you're reaping the benefits. Happy Trails my friend!

[@olinyarger7565]

Keep it going guys! You are such an inspiration. My max is only 30 miles a ride butt I'm working on getting more fit and making better choices. I'm getting a new job in Indianapolis at Indiana donor network. I'm looking forward to riding on the Monon trail wich I have never been on. My new place will only be a one bedroom but if you need a place I will be in Indianapolis soon.

[@AlisaGeiser]

Olin Yarger 🙏🏽🌻💪🏽

[@jjnelsonnc]

Really cool the people you've run across and the intimacy that develops so quickly. Thanks for bringing this to us. One thing, have you guys run into any "bad" weather? Do you all just camp it out on rainy days? Thanks, looking forward to your upcoming adventures!

[@AlisaGeiser]

Jack Nelson we’ve only had a few brief night-time rain showers - were indoors for them, luckily!

[@pppjourneyonabike5992]

Will u be able to go back and post the route you found
