Wow, what a marvelous trip. Patillo, You are MY super hero. Love you.🚲❤💪

[@anklepast]

Your bicycle trips to the botanic garden always inspired me. So, you are my super hero!

[@terylteeter562]

Great job with filming! I like how you provide the month and year you traveled. Many more ice cream cones in your future!

[@anklepast]

Thank you Tery! I’m looking forward to more trips this year and of course, more ice cream!

I'm interested in doing this bike tour. I have been watching / reading peoples experiences that have completed it. (I've never done a tour, yet.) I cannot believe you did this all on a single speed bike. Absolutely bad ass ! Great job dude

[@anklepast]

Thanks!! This was my longest trip so far and although the length of the trip was intimidating, it turned out to be very doable. Beside some minor challenges (hills, wind, and a couple flats) I would definitely do it again. Keep me posted if you go for it or any other tours!

Hi, I am just starting to research the same trip. Did you do a pre established route or make your own? Great video!

[@anklepast]

Glad you enjoyed the video! I made my own route using google maps and planned it according to how many miles I could ride daily and where I’d spend the night (campsite or hotel). Good luck with your trip and reach out if you have any questions, I love this kind of stuff!
