Raging Downhill on a Bikepacking Setup-The Tahoe Twirl BikePacking Adventure-Ep 5

[@duzer]

I hope you all enjoyed our adventure in Tahoe, we LOVED it! Thanks for watching the series and stay tuned for more down the road.

[@chasingvenusfilmarts]

Learn SO much from the flow of your top notch video editing skills. Great content. Inspiring as usual and you always have such cool companions. :-)

Dear Ryan, my name is Gabriele. I live in Lucca, a small city in Tuscany (Italy), near Florence. I see all your videos since 2018. Yuo're my inspiration. My bodyweigth is 140 kg right now. But i loss 25 kg in 2020. My personal goal is reach 75 kg (181 cm height). I know it's hard but nothing it's impossible. I found motivation watching your videos and my weitgh is going down. I like cycling into the nature and i think i'm gonna ride south italy next summer. Thank you for your beautiful job. keep goin' on. Greetings from tuscany. (sorry for my english. I'm still learinig it, but i'm a very bad student :))

[@mhernandez4576]

Looking forward to seeing your progress!

[@duzer]

That’s amazing! I’m proud of you. Happy trails my friend.

[@benluecken2839]

Awesome job dude! (And your English is good)

[@hemaccabe4292]

I'm in the same boat right now. Ryan is such an inspiration. Greetings from Richmond, VA. We'll do it together okay?

[@machineofrage]

It's almost criminal this video has less than 30k views. I think it's some of your best camera and editing work. I bought a mountain bike yesterday and went for a ride for the first time in maybe 20 years. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@dudeonbike800]

Ahhh, you rode right past and briefly stopped at DL Bliss State Park (the visitor's center in the rain), my family's camping spot since 1949. Too bad you didn't ride down the road to camp there for the night. You missed a wonderful spot on the lake with 1,600 foot water right off the shore (Rubicon Point). And as I posted earlier, TAMBA is working tirelessly to create mountain bike access for us all on the west shore. Let's hope there's a bicycle TRT connection between Fallen Leaf Lake/Emerald Bay and Tahoma soon! You covered a lot of ground on the last day. I thought you were going to hit TRT again once it resumes for bikes in around Tahoma. That would have added a lot of climbing and hours to the ride (another day). And you didn't head up to TRT out of Tahoe City either. Probably for the best because the first few miles are uphill and technical. The whole section along the north rim above the Truckee River would have added another day to your trip as well. I'm in Tahoe now and FINALLY rode some of this section of TRT yesterday. Will ride more by week's end! Bravo! Great ride, great video, great riders! Thank you!

[@rlopez9044]

Man, great video!! I love the music you used for downhill. I am already planning (and training) to do this next year.

[@vijaykrishnabhat]

We really loved watching this series of Tahoe adventures. Also, the editing n cinematography of this series is exceptional. Keep filming the adventures. Stay safe

[@duzer]

Thanks! I really loved putting this one together

[@lukespack]

This was some great riding. I don't think many people would be up to this. You two should be very proud. Stay safe.

[@92redferrari]

Jaw dropping scary moments watching. Looked like some brave mountain biking close to steep drops.

[@duzer]

It’s a little hairy, but the views are incredible

[@keithaverill1223]

I liked seeing how you get your pics and videos... It's time consuming but now it's posted and preserved for ever. You'll show your grandkids some day.

[@duzer]

I agree, we’ll worth it

[@dennisdownes9319]

Sharing pictures can be a ton of work.........only to stop and take still shots. Moving pictures takes a ton of time and effort. Thanks Ryan.........your hard work has not gone unnoticed. The final scene in this video is epic!! DD

[@duzer]

Loved capturing that steamy road at the end

[@bradbell4055]

Great videos you've been blessed with a great life I'm 64 just started riding the end of April it has changed my life haven't been on a bike in over 50 yrs had no idea I would love it it has give me a life thanks for sharing your videos

[@robertbotta6536]

Ryan et al, you are amazing and thank you and all your awesome friends for taking the time and extraordinary EFFORT for all the cinematography. Really. Thanks bro.

[@duzer]

Much appreciated!

[@rickh4310]

You, in my opinion, are the best tuber on KZbin. You inspire us all Ryan. I just ride the roads, but I might have to work on doing the Twirl, since I live near Tahoe.

[@duzer]

Awww, thank you! That means a lot

[@61loneviking]

You did an incredible job showing Tahoe and the local bike trails. Most trails are narrow, lots of rock and as you noted, they can get sketchy quick! That first section off the Hennessy pass road has some nice, easy riding. Boca, Stampede and Prosser reservoirs all have trails and forest roads. And then there’s the Pyramid lake bike path that goes from Tahoe to Pyramid lake. So come back and ride some more!!

[@duzer]

I loved that area so much!! I’ll be back

[@RedHeadAgent]

And Ryan, I wanted to tell you and thank you because between you and the Bicycling Touring Pro, you've inspired me to get back on my bike and get some miles under my belt. So that when it is time to travel again, I will be able to do it because I will be back in cycling shape. Thanks! xoxo.

[@duzer]

That is awesome! Happy trails to you!

[@outbackwack368]

Awesome ride and experience! And I couldn't agree with you more about plastics and Mylar balloons!!!

[@richardwaring8613]

Started with covid 19 on May 15 and I watched this video to find the itch finally started in the legs. The fight to my previous fitness begins. Battered but unbeaten. Thanks Ryan.

[@duzer]

Get it!!!

[@jamesparvana716]

Some truly awe inspiring views. I wish I had done some adventures like this before my life was filled with commitments and work. Don't wait, enjoy this beautiful planet.

[@GMoneyLove]

No truer words were spoken. We will keep dreaming, right? Thanks, Ryan for bringing us along, this was awesome!

[@sidetrekcycling8589]

a smile induzer!

[@duzer]

:)

[@andrewraquepaw9878]

Awesome video Ryan! Love the drone shots! I like how you are showing adventure and experience here in the USA. This is a beautiful nature filled country and we all need to get out and explore just out our own front doors wherever in the world that might be! If you are ever in Michigan let me know! My family and I would be thrilled to host you! God bless!

[@duzer]

Michigan is beautiful, I wanna go back

[@BrieKrogman]

I just bought a simple city bike at REI today, and stumbled upon your video. I too am vegetarian, and just starting out with this journey of riding (also vowed several weeks ago to be plastic free/less waste as possible and composting!) You have an incredibly beautiful soul. I can’t wait to see more of your journey! Peace and love to you new friend!

[@duzer]

Right on! I hope you enjoy your new bike!thanks for the kind words and happy trails!

[@BrieKrogman]

Ryan Van Duzer thank you so much!!

[@fredgonzini7099]

Thank you for capturing how wonderful cycling can be. Sometimes I dont know how to explain why I love it so much Thank you Ps. I was singing in a tunnel on my last ride.

[@duzer]

Ole!

[@kevinthomson6324]

Just giving a big Thank you for spending that 90 minutes a day so we can enjoy these amazing videos and photos. Your efforts are greatly appreciated! 👍

[@duzer]

I’m glad that you enjoyed the series!

[@sandeshsanuchappera802]

[@duzer]

@@duzer oh my god ! 😳 You made my day that's awesome thank you so much 🙏👍

[@unchewable1]

So awesome i am totally peanut butter and jealous following Dom now great shots music and convo thanks for another great video

[@curtbrown7967]

Great vids Ryan. Thanks for having us along. Appreciate your choice of music. Complimentary to exploration and the scenery.

[@Eric_Tennant]

Looks great. Love the green and the lake view. My area (PHX) just brown and hot right now. The heat didn't stop me and I got 100 KM done. With filming it took me 5 hours. I did it on the Arizona Canal. Been sleeping great after that. I love the filming advice. I suck compared to you at editing, and I am trying my best to learn to get better.

[@benluecken2839]

I'm leaving for my first Bikepacking trip in 3 days, 350mi from Canada to Oregon across my home state of Washington, and this series is getting me so excited for it! You're one of the main reasons that I got inspired to do it, so thank you for making these amazing videos for me to learn and get inspired to go on these adventures!

[@duzer]

Right on!! Have a great time

[@beverleygibson1394]

Well done! It has been great following you. Thank you!

[@mitchwarren1600]

Your Pal calls himself Dom , but he is actually David Tennant and he has probably parked the Tardis somewhere!

[@philip1515]

All your hard work of make content is paying off. You make wonderful videos and I look forward to see them each week.

[@duzer]

Thank you!

[@markzimmermann3982]

Thanks Ryan for all the great videos and pictures that was an awesome trail but I could not do that on a recumbent trike

[@karllorossanodasilvarossan8708]

[@tonyroumonada]

That was an absolutely amazing series, well done sir! It made me realize how much I miss the trips I took with my family to Tahoe as a teen. Can't wait to take the bikes and MY family there soon, we're a quick 8 hour drive away. You should be proud, keep up the good work.

[@easylife50]

Enjoyed watching the trip thanks guys!!

[@aminostruth3494]

Truly epic and inspirational stuff Ryan.

[@duzer]

[@fehrcarlo2381]

The parting shot of your video is almost like a start to another epic adventure! I hope to see it soon!

[@lindaholmes1920]

Fab conclusion to an epic journey. I loved every second of it. Also great heads up about the balloons. Keep on rocking and rolling!

[@duzer]

[@zachmandell1549]

You have inspired me. Which make/model bike did you use? Which make and model drone are you using? Which makes and model cameras are you using? Thank you! Did you find anymore balloons?

[@broomrider7]

Such a great adventure!! Thanks for taking us all along once again. The time you put into the filming and editing is so time consuming. I thank you very much for doing all of it and sharing it with us! Your videos really are my inspiration when I feel like being a zombie on the couch, lol. Thank you!!

[@duzer]

Watch out for zombies!!! :)

[@bobtilton3024]

That so thoroughly enjoyable to watch!!! Just sent PayPal tip - figured the cost of a movie ticket was fair. Keep up the great work!

[@duzer]

Thank you sooooo much!!!

[@timothysullivan7433]

Love the shots with camera shooting back as both of you ride.

[@codeyorgill]

Stunning scenery mate!! Gotta add this one to the bikepacking bucket list!! 🚲 🏔

[@gary62or45]

Great video footage, love it, kinda a rough trail at times. Night sky shots were excellent.

[@marcwallace]

It's raining in Iowa and I was looking at a gear website. The thought came to me that Ryan has never really talked about rain gear. Now I know why.

[@ahouston9]

I'm gonna go do this on my fully rigid fat bike.. You had a big las day!

[@duzer]

Nice, that’ll be a good bike for this!

[@PumpkinVillage]

It was awesome for sure. Take care and stay safe, Al

[@keneppink7272]

The world 🌎 is beautiful place. Thanks for sharing buddy!

[@ridewithgae1467]

Now the tahoe twirl is on my bucket list :)

[@duzer]

It’s a good one!

[@brianward7724]

Nice work, you two! The last part must have been really enjoyable, considering all the climbing you had done. I look forward to your next vid, Ryan.

[@keithaverill1223]

Great videos Ryan - thanks for posting!

[@duzer]

Glad you like them!

[@nataschaperez4379]

thanks for sharing your amazing ride!! beautiful

So EPIC! My dream ride that I need to make happen. I’m just in the foothills East of Sacramento and visit South Tahoe regularly. Loved the series, Thank You! 🤙🏼

[@ThatguyDiscGolf82]

Doms straight face when joking!

[@duzer]

He’s funny

[@medieval4203]

Whoooo. Downhill my favorite. Some sweet views you have there. Tahoe twirl looks fun .

[@mattfinch3895]

Excellent content as usual. I'm inspired. Thank you so much. Keep um coming.

[@jaredreynolds5250]

Great series. Thanks for taking us along.

[@pedrofernandez8729]

Here I was wondering how Ryan's new adventure is going and we get a whole new video.

[@jaredreynolds5250]

Super sneaky.

[@barbarootoo]

So awesome, loved this series! (And the comment about balloons, totally agree!)

[@rogervancleave8670]

Great trip and video. I really enjoyed the music in this video. Looking forward to seeing the video from the GDMBR.

[@duzer]

Stay tuned!!!

[@IRydeBikes]

You make excellent content, I’m glad I found your channel through your love cycles videos. You inspired me to get my bicycle out and ride again. I plan on riding the Allegheny Passage trail in PA to the C&O Canal Towpath trail to DC in the spring.

[@duzer]

Yay!! Enjoy that ride, it’s beautiful

[@sharonaston3433]

Awesome, 👍 loved watching this

[@ihoppoet]

Ryan, When I'm touring I'll use my drone to capture shots of me riding by, all the DJI drones have a tripod mode. Just stop, fly it out, ride pst it, stop and fly it back to you, saves a lot of time.

[@duzer]

That’s cool, but I like a little movement

[@ihoppoet]

@@duzer lol ok but it saves a lot of time, maybe more for me because I tour on a recumbent trike.

[@ihoppoet]

@@duzer anyway you have a lot of really beautiful shots in this.

[@andrevangigch]

Ryan, beautiful ride man......

[@duzer]

It sure is!

[@Radnally]

Sweet ride. Thanks

[@tommykosch9194]

I live in Tahoe and it’s awesome

[@duzer]

It sure is

[@JMacGyver1]

Beautiful ride.

[@shelbsss0]

Me: Wow what a beautiful bike trail I would love to do this. *Ryan rates difficulty at 8 and Dom at 9* Me: ya know I think I'll get on the stationary bike and watch these videos and it'll practically be like I'm there.

[@duzer]

Haha!! That works too

[@hemaccabe4292]

I see them on those narrow trails. Imagining myself there is terrifying.

[@TheDoctorPhotographer]

Thanks for your work. You get me inspired!

[@NinthwaveThe]

Well, as it rained, it confirms that the production version of the new 600 needs fender bosses :-)

[@duzer]

This was a rental bike, the 600 will have that!

[@dalemonaco]

How did you and Dom feel on Hardtails? I looking to do it on one while the rest of my crew has full squish, and I'm curious if it'll be an issue.

[@felipericketts]

That was pretty epic! Good stuff. Thanks :-)

[@ErictoonsTV]

its so fun watching you guys, i finished my work first so i can focus watching to your episode.🙂

[@duzer]

Yay! Glad you liked it

Im a fan now. I like your energy and positivity🙂💪 more subscribers to come and more travel. Visit us here in the philippines.

[@johnnolan3331]

Awesome night shots! NATGEO stuff

[@allydidier791]

Awesome series, Ryan! I want to get into bikepacking!

[@dudeonbike800]

It's amazing how you can now combine bikepacking with single track sweetness, all in one! No more panniers and weighted down bikes that you can't really mountain bike on. Way to go!

[@vintagebikes3073]

Ole ole ole. Great Videos 👌

[@mikemcgeehan4321]

That was freakin awesome! Great riding!

[@akactors]

REally loved this one. Thanks, guys.

[@countingcoup]

Great Ride! Looking fwd to the Continental Divide... 👍🏽

[@terrors88]

You are doing great things my American friend! Any opinion if the tour would be doable with a gravel steel bike with 2inch tires?

[@duzer]

No way on gravel bike, mtb only

[@hemaccabe4292]

Did you eat snow at those other snow spots?

[@GiovanniCamilligheo]

hi fantastic videos but, just a question...why don't take with you a raincoat? I never go out without

[@pedrofernandez8729]

A poncho takes up so little space, it should be standard biking gear.

[@duzer]

Cause I’m a dummy :)

[@Ret17]

Great videos of the Tahoe Twirl--was in Tahoe about 2 years ago and saw many of the south Tahoe sites you videoed; please give a review of your Priority bike and let us know when the production model is available. Thanks for sharing!

[@duzer]

I’m riding it now down the divide, loving it. Review to come

[@Raulife]

awesome adventure

[@bicycledad7660]

Wow the night with the twinkling stars, how cold was it ?

[@pavanatanaya]

How did you enjoy Roscoe Van Duzer?

[@robertbotta6536]

Hey, I had to quit the Patreon thing cause I have been “temporarily, laid off”. Hopefully I will be able to get back on it soon.. you are the best.

[@duzer]

It’s all good my friend, I have appreciated your support. Hope you’re doing ok. Best of luck finding a new job

[@corcaa]

Brutal! Como siempre! Saludos Ryan! :)

[@duzer]

Gracias !!!

[@mhernandez4576]

Wow! Is this one of your most technical rides you've done?

[@duzer]

Yes, by far
