John and Mira are the Dream Team-Bikepacking Arizona-Episode 1

It's time for some DogPacking with John and Mira! I met these two back in January 2020 while riding the Baja Divide. We became fast friends and rode Baja and the Great Divide together. Covid kept us apart for over a year, but I finally tracked them down in Southern Utah to ride the Western Wildlands route.

Seeing Mira on my channel again makes me happy. Have Any of you tried out Dog Packing since being introduced to these two?

[@michaelmatthews4096]

Hi Ryan how's everything going with you my friend?

[@ThatguyDiscGolf82]

Wife tried getting the cat to ride in her bikes wicker basket, no go!

[@mswarrior932]

I haven't road with a dog but I'm thinking about it!! I met a Australian traveling with a half datsun and half Chihuahua that rode in the front left saddle bag! Just his head sticking out!! And another guy with a 80lb. Shepherd who road in a trailer and would jump out when going uphill and jump back in at the top!!! That was so cool!!! That was at samuel p. Tailor st. Park where I also saw a cross dressing cyclist wearing a dress!!!🤣😂🤣😂🤣 but yeah, thinking of getting a dog!!! Piece out and get out there!!!

[@rneillmojo]

So good best flick for thanksgiving

[@aprildntn]

Got the bike and the pup trained up. She loves to camp. Hoping for a little gear for Christmas and I plan on taking her everywhere I can once the weather breaks in the spring.

[@ianbarr4716]

Ryan...I am soooooooo happy to see John and Mira back with you again. You are a team that cranks the value of these videos up to 11. Cheers

[@duzer]

I agree with you! Traveling with them is so fun

[@octaviomorelos5545]

Totally agree. I actually hadn't watch your videos for a couple of months (sorry, been busy) but when I saw Mira I stopped whatever I was doing to watch this video. I'm sure I'll be back on track now. John, good to see you too. But Mira, I got teary-eyed when I saw you meet Ryan again after so long. Good luck guys!

[@clvrswine]

No man says "soooooooo"... that's a feminine expression. Grow a pair, dude.

[@26realmc]

@@clvrswine first uncool message I have ever read on Duzers videos. Says more about you than anything I think.

[@richardp6461]

Really nice to be back with John and Mira. The three amigos back in the desert.☮☮

[@JustJake77]

This trio, is some of the best content on the KZbin! Being stuck in the damp, PNW of BC, you guys make the dreary day less so, and put a smile on this fellas face. Thank you! Nothing but love for you guys!

[@duzer]

Glad that we could brighten up your day!!

[@tc871comments]

MIRAAAAAA‼️🐕 OMG she was so happy to see Duzer again she started to doggie-cry. John put the Priority together? Wow I didn't know he had mechanic skills👍. John...bro...I don't know if that Gates system is gonna work out long term. I never had one but I did have an 8 speed Alpine IGH. I STRIPPED THE GEARS! And yes, I never shifted under load. IGH systems are cool and have tons of advantages, but they tend to become problematic for high mileage loaded weight cyclist. Duzer I tell ya this was the pick-me-up I needed. The headlines are nothing but death and government tyranny. But Mira makes it all go away...LOVE THAT PUPPY 🐶 🥰.

[@duzer]

Mira is certainly a mood changer! What an incredible dog. Hope you’re doing well, my man

[@jeffreyrule8143]

Does not get any better. Thanks for inviting us along.

Thanks Jeffrey!!

[@ABiketoEscape]

YES, it is so good to see you kind spirits meeting again!

[@zenmoto369]

It is amazing how time passes when you enjoy a video! Great to have Mira back on the channel, she's such a lovely creature!

[@duzer]

She’s the loveliest!

[@gregglatz]

Is there ANYTHING better than seeing these three together again? Answer: no, there is nothing better. As a Canadian who lived and studied in the US for a few years, I love this cross-border partnership. Next: you three team up with a bikepacker from Mexico?

[@duzer]

Oooh, that would be the North American SUPERTEAM!!! Love that idea

[@OmniTierra]

There is a very good chance that Mexico meet up could happen. I don’t know about you guys but I really enjoyed this edit great job @duzer

[@BillyBob-uc9zp]

The Three Amigos!!. Great to watch. Thank you you three ❤

[@buckmanriver]

There were two things I enjoyed about this episode. First, the epic drone shots of the landscape, high saturation in the winter light. Second, the bromance the romantic comedy vib is something the bikepacking world needs more of! Looking forward to the rest of the series.

[@duzer]

High saturation bromance coming right up!

❤ Seeing John, Mira and you all together again enjoying a great adventure. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your love for nature.

[@ebells33]

I don't see that Mira has a pad to lie on when she's riding on the bike. Her joints will get sore...

I love coming back to rewatch these adventures. Your channel is a treasure trove of happiness.

Hard not to love the three of you. Spreading adventure and happiness as you go.

This was so great!!! The friendship, Mira, does life get any better? Thank you, so much this one will be watched by myself and my 9 week old future adventure pup over and over❤

Give your pup a hug from me!

Nice to see you in the desert again with John and Mira. The honeymoon trail looks like a jog walker's trail paradise with no one around. 🌵🏜️🥰

[@duzer]

It’s pretty sweet out there

[@oinkoink4623]

Amazing how sometimes people cross their ways in the middle of nowhere and turn the occasion into a lifetime friendship!

[@sagehiker]

Excellent adventure. Love John’s new rig, the ultimate long ride drifter. It is exciting to see the Arizona-Utah strip to Kanab through your eyes. It has been a half century for me. Love the cow tank life! Thank you for sharing.

So beautiful south of St George

I’m happiest with 2nd or 🥉 billing 😎

[@robincurwood]

Hi Ryan and John. Yes I have been dog packing for? Well let's say I'm on my second dog (Daisy). And now 64 with a heart condition. My current bike is a Ktm scarp mountain bike. When she gets tired I put her in a little kiddie trailer. My last dog Millie never stopped especially if I kept the pace slow. But she did have a tendency to run if spooked. But otherwise she was great at running to heal, next to my bike. By the way guys I, I really enjoy seeing both of your travels. Keep up the good work. 😊

[@marysalmon2367]

the triple threat back together, I could feel your joy Ryan.

[@duzer]

The joy is REAL!

[@michaelp1109]

Just awesome. The happiness of the greeting just made my day. Great friends back together again. Love the desert scenery. Got to, since I live in AZ. Seeing those bikes and the fun adventures just makes me want to pull the trigger on a Priority bike. Did 50 miles around the suburb streets of Phoenix yesterday. I need to get on some dirt.

[@charisinak4604]

Should have titled this episode 'Bromance on the Honeymoon Hwy' :) So happy life has given you this amazing friendship and can't wait to watch your latest adventure together!

Oooh!! I like that. I’m gonna call you before I title my next video ;)
