My First BIKEPACKING Trip!! 90-Miles by E-Bike on the Olympic Discovery Trail! | Miranda in the Wild

I went bikepacking for the first time! This has been a highly requested video, and here it finally is! Cannondale sent me an electric bike to try, so I loaded up my backpacking gear and rode 90 miles over three days on the Olympic Discovery Trail here in Washington for my first ever bikepacking trip! From camping at an alpaca farm outside Port Angeles to riding along the coast of beautiful Lake Crescent, my first bikepacking trip was some of the most fun I've ever had, and I'm thrilled to share this video of the adventure with you!
Just like my last video trying bike commuting, this video is presented by Cannondale who have been so wonderful in letting me try two of their top tier e-bikes. Thank you Cannondale! Y'all rock!

More biking content from Miranda PLEEEASE! Love her outlook and positivity no matter the situation she’s in. So fun to watch and definitely has inspired me to get out and explore more!

[@rei]

We're so happy to hear it! How do you enjoy the outdoors?

[@serrabee]

OMG I'm so jealous! I love seeing things by bike. Gotta try this out soon.

[@leestewart2255]

Love the realism and Miranda's bravery in the face of something she didn't want to do (ride on highway) and that she balanced being honest about how she felt but also being so positive

[@rei]

We appreciate the kind words 😊

[@LisaBeergutHolst]

Yes, a civilized country would have safe, separated bicycle paths, but at least in America we have a "positive attitude" 😆

[@maxinemead8918]

And all the road cyclists are all, "What? There was PLENTY of shoulder on that highway!" ;) :D Seriously, though, for a relatively newbie cyclist, that was no doubt a bit of an intimidating challenge. Well done!

[@jayw900]

That isn't a highway as human powered vehicles are not allowed on highways. That is a primary route

[@hellomxanderson]

Would definitely watch more cycling content! So glad you had such a good time, there are literally thousands and thousands of miles of bike trails all over the country, and most of them inhabit former railroad lines or towpaths along canals and rivers, really cool stuff!

[@rei]

There's so much to explore when biking!! Happy trails 🚴‍♂️👍

[@elliotdryden7560]

Love the reaction upon entering the tunnel. "What in the HELLLLLLLLL?" Who can stay in a blue funk when Miranda is around? NOBODY! Thank you for my 500mg dose of MITW Capsules!

[@rei]

Miranda brings all of the serotonin!

[@Tangeffect]

I hope she always makes videos. She really is a ray of sunshine when things are bad. Her smile, laugh, and realness is refreshing!

[@jollyandwaylo]

People should know they cut out the part where they had to put the bikes on a bus or van to get from the end of Discovery Bay (mud flats in the video) to 4 corners to continue the ride into Port Townsend. If she thought riding on that huge, wide shoulder was scary, she definitely didn't ride on the road for the section with no trail yet. Lots of volunteers are working on it and have been for many years. It has to go over very high, steep hills somehow.

[@toddkj7jhh]

The county is working on a route that will cut out HWY 20. I believe it will go through the backside of Anderson Lake State Park and reconnect with the Larry Scott Memorial Trail.

[@jollyandwaylo]

@@toddkj7jhh That is the long term plan but for the next few years at least, people should be aware of the dangers of riding on the road in that missing section of trail.

[@undertwotimes]

Yeah I prefer to go 104 to center, it's a longer route but has a shoulder at least.

[@jollyandwaylo]

@@undertwotimes And once you get to Center, the traffic usually isn't that bad there.

[@olyokie]

90 miles is trail and about another 40 is still on roads. They've been building it for decades and won't stop for another couple.

[@linedwell]

Miranda is a fantastic presenter and this video is great, but I have to give a shout out to the camera people and drone operators, some of those shots were absolutely beautiful. 👍👍 Great work.

[@rei]

She sure is! The whole crew is amazing. 🙌 Be sure to stay tuned for more great content! 😄

[@paulkhanna1]

Came for the alpaca farm, stayed for the lovely bike packing trip. Great job on the drone shots. The editor is pretty excellent too. Good job team!

[@rei]

We appreciate the love!! Alpaca farms and bikepacking trips are always a fun time.

[@TheGentilea]

Miranda is so endearing and entertaining! I'd watch her fold laundry.

[@jordanbelknap9168]

I think the use of an e-bike is awesome! You can make it as hard or as easy as you want, and it opens up activities like bikepacking to people who would otherwise be physically unable to do it on their own.

[@stevenbaker7025]

Yeah small percentage of people who actually 'need' an ebike from a disability. Most people are just to lazy in getting out and riding before going fully loaded.

[@wmiller7208]

This woman was just lazy. These are creating weak people.

[@ivytyler]

@@wmiller7208 weak?? she stilled biked 90 miles over 3 days with a bunch of gear! far from weak, buddy

[@ianlindridge5378]

@@ivytyler I agree with Ivy's comment and here's my 2 cents worth. I'm functionally blind & ride a recumbent tadpole trike for safety. I do overnights & 4 to 5 day tours. I'm 74 years, not decrepit, but i ride the trike to get out & enjoy life. Don't ever, ever, judge a person for a trike or an electric assist (or wheelchair) until you know why. Go Miranda........

[@alexmorgan3435]

@@ianlindridge5378 So telling people who take a different and disagreeable view to you don't have a voice. This girl is quite clearly capable of riding a proper bicycle and not being lazy. Ebikes are motor bikes and traditional cycling has been infected by them, all these lazy feckers now claiming they are cyclists. No they are not, but they are cheats!

[@annie7395]

"Unintellible wow" me whenever i see anything interested ever, thank you for keeping that in. Blackberries!

[@rei]

Thanks for watching 😄

[@katherinehaimann5340]

I’m so glad you tried bikepacking and enjoyed it, Miranda! It’s great you realized the awesomeness that is traveling by bike and I hope we see more bike trips and cycling content from you! By the way I think you can consider yourself a cyclist now 😉.

[@rei]

Thanks, Katherine! Where do you enjoy bikepacking?

[@MoBugs1]

I would love to see more bikepacking material with Miranda! This was great, I would really love to see more fellow women get involved in bikepacking. I'm hoping with the help of this video and more we will have more women out on the trails. Thank you Miranda and thank you REI.

[@rei]

Bikepacking is an amazing activity. We appreciate the support 😊

[@breeethompson]

this is the best video i’ve seen so far, you look so happy and enjoying life in the moment as you try a new experience :))

[@rei]

New experiences are a great way enjoy life!

[@nolowatt1]

Miranda’s humor and enjoyment of the outdoors is infectious, a 90-mile bikepacking trip is a most excellent adventure, and the crews excellence in capturing the scenery and fun was wonderful. Thanks, and let’s have more bikepacking!

[@1976LFonseca]

I’ve been considering bikepacking! This has convinced me to DO IT! Miranda has, definitely got me so excited about bikepacking! YAY!

[@rei]

Right on! 🙌

[@daveebert7747]

I love your infectious enthusiasm. I too started out backpacking many years ago. I discovered bikepacking about 5 years ago and I am sooo hooked on it. I have done many different types of trips, pavement, rail trail and mountain bike wilderness stuff. The latter is very strenuous but so rewarding. I would really enjoy seeing more bike content from you. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

[@rei]

Hi, Dave! Thanks for watching and sharing that with us. Where have some of your favorite bikepacking trips been?

[@carloscardona9255]

Would love to see you on a mountain bike trail. My girlfriend and I have been backpacking and riding mountain bikes. We really want to combine the two now for some bikepacking Action.

[@rei]

Thanks for the recommendation. We hope you're able to go bikepacking yourselves!

[@stevenpelayo9418]

There is a 25 mile bypass on the Olympic Discovery Trail called the Adventure Route. Nice mix of single and dual track mountain biking between Lake Crescent and Port Angeles. There are also some much more intense downhill mountain biking routes in the Dryhll area (near PA too). Highly recommend!

[@rocksleee07]

I love the cinematic drone shots and the music that goes with it. It's pretty refreshing to watch considering it's always a fun and quirky Miranda in the wild episode :D

[@nat.in.nature]

Miranda it makes me smile so much seeing you soo happy!! Such a joy to watch. Definitely some of the most beautiful scenery yet. And those drone shots were AWESOME.

[@rei]

Thanks for watching! Is it even possible to not smile while watching a Miranda video?! 😁

[@susanf3110]

This might be my favorite Miranda video!!! Drone footage was incredible. What a beautiful area...thank you for sharing!!

[@rei]

We're so happy you enjoyed watching, Susan.

[@stevejorde]

Your videos are so inspirational! PLEASE keep the bicycling videos coming. Your positive energy and absolute joy of life in general is fun to watch!

[@jenniferb6646]

I truly enjoy watching the videos Miranda and crew put together. Her joy at trying new things and exploring always makes me smile. I defiantly look forward to seeing new videos when they come out and learning something new.

[@rei]

We are so happy to hear that! Thanks for tuning in, Jennifer. 👋❤️

[@hannahheather2004]

Bikepacking looks so fun!! I'd love to give it a try!! And GOD that trail looks gorgeous!!

[@mudithmanu]

More bike packing please. You are such a delight to follow

[@SyoCoF]

That's what i was talking about! Great experience! Thank you very much for uploading the trip. The highway is something that I also dislike and added to all the weight of the bike worries me. But I really liked everything because it was an extremely natural experience with all the circumstances they lived through. Again, great video and I would love it if you take a longer trip.

[@rei]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@crunchysteve]

I've cycle toured for years, rode most of Vietnam, Hanoi to Ho Chi Min City (Saigon), Melbourne to Sydney. First half of the Great Ocean Road. Tasmania's East Coast (a couple of times) I've also commuted all my life and owned more bikes than cars. Used to be a 100km (60 miles) a day on pretty much any terrain, so long as it was a msde road. (Single track's "a bit" harder, hey.) It makes my heart sing when others discover cycle touring. eBike or not, the open road on a bike is freaking golden. And that moment when camp is setup and your nomming dinner, watching the sun going down. Life can't get any better. ❤❤❤

[@fabianmargarint7879]

Among milions of youtubers, hundreds that I know about, you are among my favorites. Top 5, I mean. All i can say is thank you, and please continue what you are doing. It is awesome.

[@rei]

Thank you, Fabian!

[@sc20777]

I'm not really into bikepacking (yet), but I'm really enjoying these videos. Miranda's bubbly personality is awesome and refreshing lol

[@julliemcveety5071]

More cycling content please. Miranda I love that you show your nervousness, it is reassuring that you can be scared to try something and still do it. Thanks!

[@richardrawlings7750]

Yes! I've got a bikepacking trip to prepare for so I've been eagerly waiting for this video!

[@rei]

We hope you have an amazing trip!

aw! never been so early for one of miranda's videos! I just recently got into hiking and am planning my first backpacking trip for next year. thanks for all your help and recommendations miranda! you are so inspiring and a beacon of light im sure brings joy to so many others on the internet!!

[@rei]

We appreciate the kind words, Sarah! Please let us know if we can answer any hiking or backpacking questions.

[@luispinsf7538]

As someone who has never bikepacked and is not a cyclist, I really enjoyed this. The e-bike seems like an easier entry to bike packing than a full human powered bike.

[@rei]

Maybe something to add to the bucket list? 😉 Thanks for watching!

[@robynaddie2071]

Bikepacking is so much fun! I biked from Pittsburgh to Cumberland to DC on the GAP and C&O this summer. It is amazing. You should do it!!!

Glad you enjoyed it Arlene! You will love it there.

[@michaelfogt1920]

[@CrossoverGenius]

I have been very interested by bikepacking ever since I found out it was a thing... the joy you have for new experiences is so infectious, it makes me want to get out there and Do More Things more often. Frankly, Miranda, I would watch you watch paint dry. Keep on keeping on 💜

[@rei]

Right on. We wish you many great camping adventures in your future. Thanks for stopping by, Kayla!

I appreciate REI's videos where they can tell a story and show the products so much more than than most youtubers who are just hocking product with some half assed "content" thrown in and they're reading off cue cards provided by the manufacturer

[@rei]

Thanks for the support, Ryan!

[@mirgeo083]

Felt like I was watching double rainbow man with Miranda’s excitement level over the scenery!

[@rei]

Miranda is a beam of sunshine 😄

[@jimmccorison]

I notice that you failed to cover or mention biking up the east side of Discovery Bay. Those roughly 6 miles is the single most dangerous section of the entire ODT. Some people ride it while other use the bus to get around it. It can be dealt with, but I think it's only fair to warn people about it. Other than that, the video was great. How could an Amanda video not be cheerful and realistic? It's also a great intro to the ODT for those that haven't done it.

[@willlin9020]

Been wanting to try this route, but the dangerous section mentioned has me worried. Would like to know how Miranda did it too.

[@degnaw]

Yep, when I rode the ODT I skipped the last part to Port Townsend since there was no safe way to ride through. For a video that advertises biking the ODT to Port Townsend, it seems very remiss to not mention that the ODT doesn't actually go all the way to Port Townsend.

[@riversiderider2002]

I am an experienced cyclist and rode this section with my wife who is not. It was awful. My wife bless her heart just tucked in behind me and rode the whole section. She was probably too scared to say anything, I know I was. I will never ride that section again

[@corrinagiambattista9784]

I agree, I was wondering that’s myself :)

[@Monster1472580]

Can i like this video more than once!!! Thanks for the inspiration, I’m definitely getting an e bike and I’ll be sure to check this trail out. Can’t wait!!!

[@rei]

Right on! Get out there and enjoy it! 🚴🙌🌲

[@degnaw]

Please make a mention that there is no safe way to cycle from Discovery Bay ~(24:27) to Four Corners ~(24:35)! This section is so dangerous that the ODT website specifically recommends bypassing this on a bus or via a very long 19 mile detour on state highways. Since the video makes this section appear continuous, I'm afraid people may watch this video and attempt to ride through it thinking the trail is actually continuous.

[@MHdollrevievs]

The video was staged,We watched an infomercial for Cannondale.

[@kevinlee7263]

That was my first thought, they really glossed over that part. They just recently acquired the land and easements to put in the trail there, but I think they're still at least a year away from building it.

[@AdamK-YT]

Agreed, I've ridden on Hwy 20 between those points and it's not a pleasant experience to get connected to the trail again!

[@swerne01]

If there is a scheduled bus that will take you and your bike through this section, what's the big deal? Just use it.

[@degnaw]

@@swerne01 The bus doesn't run at all on Sundays and only twice a day on Saturdays -- once at 7:35am and once at 5:20pm. And it only takes three or four bikes max, so you need to pray it's not full. But that's besides the point -- even if it ran every 10 minutes, the video should still mention it so people know there's a bypass involved.

[@marthaprecklersmith1036]

Fun video Miranda. As a newer e-bike rider your trip was super encouraging! Thanks

[@196813JSC]

Lama just say that you did awesome Miranda!! Thank you for taking us on your fun journey! I tried an e-bike this summer on a costal trail and like you, was pleasantly surprised for that ‘little’ extra boost on the hills or when I needed that extra push. Looking forward to more cycling videos!!

Woo-hoo! We love to hear that, Cheryl. We try to keep it real, and approachable around here! 😅 Thanks for the kudos and the video suggestion!

[@Kaciebabii]

Omg I love bikepacking and I love that it's being shown on the channel! ❤️❤️ it was so sweet because I know the elation she expressed at the beauty of the nature. I've felt the intense joy that comes from exploring outside while exercising. I also understand the roller coaster of emotions with also being outside your comfort zone physically and by situation (like having the trail unexpectedly closed and rerouting, or having to bike on a narrow shoulder). I'm glad no one filmed me in those moments 😅 but anyway, it's wonderful she is sharing that with so many people 💞

We're so glad this video resonated! Yes, the unexpected is always a part of the adventure, but so is the sense of accomplishment from getting out there to explore. Happy bikepacking!

I absolutely ... LOVE this video! I think it is the BEST one I have seen from you to date! I MUST give this a try (except I think I will have to use a hammock instead of a tent). Thank you for the video and especially for showing the world how much FUN a person can have being in nature. As a 63 year old an Ebike means I WILL ride vs a standard bike (BTW - I commuted 10 miles a day for 25 years before retiring and getting an Ebike). Would LOVE to see more bike packing videos!!

Thanks, Tommie! 😃

What an incredibly beautiful trail, makes me want to try it myself. Definitely more bike packing content please. Whenever I’m looking for a tent site I try to find the area with the least Alpaca poop too. Words to live by.

Glad you enjoyed! More to come.
