New Bike Day For Both of Us? (Life Update)

[@johnhalminski6221]

The shop owner seems so cool, God Bless him and his success.

[@r28a]

The bike shop owner seems like a good guy. Glad he's part of the cycling community.

[@moandhannahtravel]

Such a great guy!!

[@timparsons2741]

Hannah rips on that Cannondale Scalpel .

[@moandhannahtravel]

Hahah thank you!!!

[@justinhawkins1159]

You guys should check out Bandon Oregon. Whiskey, run trail system, Oak Ridge, Alsea Falls and Black Rock trail systems. Plus, if you want to ride in the desert and beat up your rims on lava rock, you can ride in Central Oregon..

[@moandhannahtravel]

Good idea!! We loved oak ridge riding!

[@TivonSanders]

Every time I see a Giant Trance X Advanced Pro, it just literally takes my breath away. God what a gorgeous bike. My dream bike. But that Cannondale?! A rocketship! XC bikes these days really are no joke.

[@moandhannahtravel]

They are sooooo good! 🙌🙌

[@D.C..]

3 surf/mtb towns that are affordable to check out: Fort Bragg, CA. Arcata, CA. Bandon, OR

[@moandhannahtravel]

Thank you!!!! 🙌🙌

[@johnhager9455]

i can attest to Bandon , if u move there will surreptitiously have to visit haha

[@thighsofjustice]

Mr Franze is awesome. I stopped by that shop every time I’m in the area.

[@moandhannahtravel]

He is the best!!!

[@jorgerodrigo2131]

Newport Oregon

[@TheMirrorVision]

Love my Hightower V3! Best fitting (on an XL) and handling bike I've had in 20+ years riding.

[@PuffinPass]

Today I was at a gas station outside of Spokane on my way home from Beacon Hill and I saw a van that looked almost identical to yours. Bikes on back, decked out identical except it was on bigger tires. First thought was, "No way did I just trip across Mo and Hannah at a random gas station?" Turns out it wasn't you, but I came home and saw this vid up which makes it all better.

[@moandhannahtravel]

😂😂😂 oh man that would have been rad but yeah we’re not in Washington! 😂

[@PuffinPass]

@@moandhannahtravel One day we will run into each other at some random trailhead, I am sure of it lol

[@MTB_POP]

Just moved outside of Reno from SC for that same reason, great riding but sure do miss the beach!

[@saddleweary2777]

Great timing y'all, I've been talking to my friend about getting a scalpel, now I'm going to push harder. Consider N.C. you can settle within 4hrs of Pisgah and 4hrs of the beach.

[@moandhannahtravel]

Its so fun!! And yes! It’s been on our list!!

[@Happy_Biker]

​@@moandhannahtravelOr just get a cabin in Pisgah and rent it out when you want to camp at the beach and surf. Like, all winter

[@EskimoMTB]

Hannah ripping with that XC bike! 😮 🔥

[@devincook3278]

Cannondale hit the mark with the new Scalpel (and the Scalpel HT). So much so that I own both.

[@moandhannahtravel]

Im I’m love you the scalpel! Hope to spend more time on it in the future! 👏 -Hannah

[@oldschooldude3500]

Squirrel....lol. so many good places to call home. Utah would be a great place to call home with the riding minis the surfing lol. But plenty of lakes around to paddle board in. The cannondale scalpel from what I've been looking at seems to be a great bike overall. Your buddy Jason at mtb yum yum has lots of good things to say about that bike as well.

[@moandhannahtravel]

😂😂😂 and yeah Jason seems to really like that bike!!!

[@kennymorris6329]

I'l throw a name in the hat, Tofino B.C. fun beach breaks in town and if you get a boat, endless surf exploration.

[@moandhannahtravel]

Hahaha!! Just need some Canadian citizenship? 😂😂😂

[@tomassanesson902]

Amazing trial and awesome bikes

[@puffdc]

I have the Hightower too rad all-everything bike. Check out the Revel Rascal if you like the Hightower....

[@moandhannahtravel]

It’s on our list! Thank you!!!!

[@HeatherMunive]

Mike rocks!! He is the best!

[@markmedina5232]

Cool video. Random question because you mentioned the heat. What do you guys do to prevent sweat running into your eyes?

[@moandhannahtravel]

We don’t typically have that problem! You could get a sweat band or cap! We have one from mission.

[@markmedina5232]

@@moandhannahtravel hahahaaa.... watched you guys ride the Greenbelt in Austin. This time of year until Oct it's like riding in a jungle... but luv it. And love your videos. 🤘

[@FantaMann42]

You could still find Condos just under 700K in South OC. It is very expensive , and interest rate is above 7%. Your expectation for lower and affordable housing is a bit of a pipe dream. Good luck and safe travel.

[@moandhannahtravel]

Over our budget! We are looking for less expensive options in Utah and maybe Washington. Lots of affordable places left once you leave Cali haha!

[@mellissanash7517]

@@moandhannahtravel No surf in Utah and it's getting expensive there too in the big cities.

[@mellissanash7517]

Is that the Scalpel or the longer travel Scalpel SE?

[@jonathanorchard4444]

Would love see a demo/comparison of the Tallboy vs the Hightower.

[@johnhager9455]

shack up at bkxc ‘s tahoe scene .. i guess oregon coast or oakridge even or eugene

[@ezekielcarsella]

The bike park he is building is so beautiful too

[@moandhannahtravel]

Sounds rad!!!!

[@travelthenarrowtrail8660]

I'm telling you guys, Tennessee is the place to be! No state tax, you can paddle board. Close to Florida for surfing and mountain biking... Yeah...

[@KestrelYI]

XC bikes have come a long way. Absolutely hauling : ) Safe travels!

[@moandhannahtravel]

I agree!! And thank you!!!!

[@xtrainerchronicles2085]

Hood river Oregon. Wind surf and mountain bike

[@moandhannahtravel]

👩🏼‍💻✍️

[@PitDaddy]

Not very affordable but nice town!

[@mrvwbug4423]

Somewhere along the Oregon or Washington coast? They're not cheap, but not quite as expensive as California.

[@moandhannahtravel]

Houses aren’t cheap in general but for us coming from California everything looks way more affordable lol!

[@8FunGuy8]

You guys should try the revel rascal v2. Also I heard ibis is coming out with the new ripley next couple of months.

[@moandhannahtravel]

The rascal is a bike we’ve been really wanting to try!!! 👀🙌

[@hardmtnbiker]

Hanna is definitely pushing those XC tires and stiff XC bike to its teeth chatter limits.

[@moandhannahtravel]

Hahaha 😂😂😂 I am trying to ride it like my trail and enduro bikes lol!

[@8FunGuy8]

Just curious, what is you guys current bike picks for a do everything bike? Like top 5 picks. That would make a great video. Top 5 picks from both of you guys.

[@JakeMorrison]

Forks, Wa = MTB from town and surfing 20 minutes

[@sebastienhakimejdaa9363]

Sea and Mountains. Cape Town, South Africa, hands down. ;-)

[@50whatnomadtravelnursemtb5]

I’m sure you will rule out Washington, yes it has mountains but the beaches are windy, cold and not ideal for surfing. I grew up in the Olympia area, it’s very green and really beautiful. The mountain biking is hit or miss in the fall and winter months, so much rain and mud. What about Georgia, mountains and Florida are both fairly close. South Carolina is also gaining popularity..

[@moandhannahtravel]

I am a bit worried about the lack of sun because I’m definitely a candidate for seasonal depression lol! 😂😂 Alabama was on our list but Georgia and Florida don’t have enough mountains for us! -Hannah

[@50whatnomadtravelnursemtb5]

@@moandhannahtravel I like Alabama too, and affordable housing. Northern Georgia has accesss to nice mountains and close to Chattanooga TN. NE has FATs trail system but yeah it’s not real mountains. You will be depressed in WA in the LONG winter months, trust me.this why we moved to AZ haha

[@mellissanash7517]

Florida isn't known for it's surfing since you know eastern coast of an ocean(western Atlantic coast is where it's at. Also Alaska surf was awesome too.

[@50whatnomadtravelnursemtb5]

@@mellissanash7517 well there aren’t many options as far as beaches and mountain biking…highly doubt they would even consider Alaska. Oregon is ok but most of the coastline is rocky. Only options are, CA, Hawaii… coastal eastern states, but having mountains and oceans with surfing really narrows down their options.

[@donaldmorrill1636]

I saw that Aspen on the rear and cringed. Yep it let you down.😮

[@coreymclernon]

Todos Santos Mexico!

[@8FunGuy8]

Trail bike is my pick.

[@YTOnlineReviews]

great

[@tomff8251]
