[@briansmith8325]

The world is watching Ryan and Ali.....and what we are watching is precious.....

[@pepperman8038]

Awesome! Take a deep breath and realize you guys: Life can not really get any better than this now, can it? Enjoy what you have there and reach out!! Let’s go East!!!

[@patrickshine8354]

Hey Ryan. This is Paddy from Australia here. Just about to watch your whole trek for the 2nd time - I wish I could like it twice! I have watched almost all of your adventures and have just finished the Colorado trail so thought I would go back to this one. Hoping to meet you 'down under some day. Keep up the great work...

[@luannedimaggio7025]

Your first advise was so good. LOVE is like that.

[@petertobey603]

Whoo whoo. I should say the adventure begins. May your travels be true.

[@ruanlategan4522]

Oh my goodness guys that looks amazing and thank you Ali, you somehow made the happiest man ever even happier🙂😄😄

[@ankitdhasmana8788]

Happy Journey, be easy with each other, be patient with each other.....enjoy....

[@goodboyringo9716]

I would never be so lucky to have a stranger pick me up at the airport and drive me to the coast. wow!

[@HelgeTrinn]

i am so exited and cant wait how your adventure continues. You 2 match so good together. Good Luck, rgds and all the Best from germany.

[@dale_b_clark8252]

Awesome, can't wait to see the rest of your adventure together. One bit of advice Ryan for your relationship....... Ali will always be right, and Yes dear should be your new favourite phase.

[@mateodiego3481]

Awesome start to what seems to be an awesome trip with two awesome people. Totally awesome! Looking forward to following along all the way.

[@nataschaperez4379]

oh gosh I cried... beautiful...

[@douglasherr4645]

It's dip the back wheels in the ocean with the front wheels pointed east.

[@gravelsasquatch6430]

Godspeed and cyborg legs to the both of you.. Thanks for taking us along! BikesOverBooze!

[@jimmycopple5820]

You go guys. Have a great trip. Looking forward to episodes. Just be patient with each other and learn to say I’m sorry,your right,please forgive me.

[@iconolater]

this is freakin awesome! Keep posting your route!

[@TomLukanen]

Excited and happy for you two to embark on this adventure. Wishing you two safe passage to the Atlantic Ocean!

[@mauricegaston7422]

Thank you for the videos. It gives me a escape from my daily reality.

[@duzer]

You got it!

[@Matt-me2yh]

True love, giving her the aisle seat, and you taking the middle seat! Have fun lovebirds :)

[@carolchen5511]

Life really does not get better than this! Evolution might have only cared about survival but us humans made it about so much more than that! So happy for you - you are so fortunate that this happened

[@NH-zh8lf]

Wish you both all the best, take care and make some lifetime memories. Greetings from Germany.

[@berniedonoghue8923]

You guys are awesome! Love your planned journey and wishing you much love on your journey.

[@mauricegaston7422]

Wasn't expecting to hear from you. Thank you.

[@duzer]

Maurice Gaston I’m a real person! Ha!

[@stevenn6722]

Looking forward to everything and everyone that you meet, much larger that the baja divide that's for sure!

[@kevinlooney8200]

It's not about the Pacific Ocean nor the Atlantic Ocean, it's about the miles in between. Enjoy all of them.

[@TKing677]

Ever since I started watching you way back (you had about 200 subs) You were always alone. Well you were always meeting up with different friends or meeting locals in different places. But it's nice to see that you've found somebody to share all of your adventures with.

[@TheTopGhia]

Have a great trip guys.

[@juanisraelroblesbarrera]

Best wishes for both Ali and Ryan regards from Mexico

[@gowman813]

I wish! I wish! I will..! So cool

[@YesthereisanS]

Amazing ep1...so well edited and paced, the journey itself is so special already but to present it so palatably is almost as hard. looking forward to seeing whats in store this year!

[@duzer]

Thanks! You're in for a ride...enjoy!

[@BluecollarBackcountry]

I'm glad I found your channel. You two make me smile ........a lot 😆 Best of luck with your adventures

[@bsaryder]

Aww she is awesome. Many blessings on your journey! ❤❤💑

[@axlent123]

Oh and Columbia county...... the STP ride goes through there! Love this stretch of this series!!!! My state! And ya know... you two were riding roads I’m not familiar with! Considering I keep to the main roads mostly! Oh... wait... now y’all are on US 30... not nearly as quiet!

[@santanuhalder245]

Love you both. all the best for upcoming plans 🤞🙏

[@137997311ful]

Ryan, Ali's body build is one BIG MUSCLE. She can probably kick the crap out of you. Just make sure your video camera isn't rolling when she does! Both you and Ali have wonderful personalities. It's very refreshing, almost like a breath of fresh air, seeing both of you together. I'm sure there are plenty of wrestling matches between the both of you, that is edited out of your video, but hey, anyone that is in a relationship with another, will most definitely have their share of disappointments, arguments and on occasion, their small cage of rage fights! Keep the awesome videos coming our way, also. I shared one of your videos with my neighbor and now he is pissed at me. He works from home and told me the other day he couldn't stop watching your videos! All the best to you and Ali, and be safe on the open roads. Drivers texting while shoving wads of McDonald fries into their mouths is not a good mix! They tend to run us road cyclists completely over without notice. "Hmmm, I didn't notice a bump in the road?" I heard of an individual that extends a bike flag, four feet, from the side of his recumbent cycle . This way it forces drivers to keep that distance from him. If they choose not to heed the bike flag they will personally score the side of their vehicle. Boo, hoo, and too bad for them. Motorists can be sons of beeatches to us road cyclists! Well, I better get going after those last comments. I don't want to start a KZbin riot between motorists and cyclists. Best, Frado

[@duzer]

Frado! First off, tell your neighbor I'm sorry for keeping him from work, ha! Second, you are right, Ali can whoop my butt :) The ride across the USA with Ali has been amazing, and yes, we have our tough moments...but we just talk things out, hug, and move on. Haven't had any cage fights yet, but I'll try and live stream it when it happens :) Thanks for watching our videos and have a great day!

[@joshuab1858]

Looking forward to following along on yalls adventures!

[@carinaasberg6236]

You Two have made me love my Trek bicycles eventuell more🤩👌😂! Take care darlings💞

[@duzer]

Awwwwm happy trails my friend!! Thanks for watching our videos

[@charshii3745]

Wow I’ve missed so much! I was on a long trip and now I’m trying to catch up on the vlogs. This is the best vlog channel

[@bertiewooster9222]

I know I am late but good luck and keep the magic going.

[@inkjob12]

Good luck...hope those wheels do not rust with that salt water...stay safe...one stroke at a time

[@rustnevrsleeps]

right on then! hope it is a great time!!!

[@thatbubbleguy]

Never go to sleep angry at each other! Wishing you two all the best from Monrovia, Maryland.

[@jacksananikone]

This is gonna be awesome, I am looking forward to this trip series. Very happy for the both of you. Stay safe.

[@odgreenoutdoors20]

And it begins, whooo hooo !!

[@Dr.Schlitz]

Oh, boy. Good luck! May every road be downhill, with a tailwind.

[@oldsap]

good luck on your trip. ride safe. will be looking forward to your future vlogs

[@ravekloks]

goodluck be safe i love you guys! cant wait to see what u accomplish!!

[@TheRhino711]

I hope one day I will be fortunate to ride my bike or rent a bike to ride around Boulder, Colorado. My home city of Rochester, NY has finally made the list of the 50 best cycling friendly cities in the USA.

[@TheRhino711]

Thank you! Yes all of my friends who cycle advise me to go. If you ever come to Rochester, NY metropolitan area to use the Erie Canal Trail or Genesse Valley Trail hit me up. I would love to join you for a ride. I could ask my cycling buddies if they would like to join in the fun. Next summer I plan to ride from Rochester to Buffalo, NY on the Erie Canal Trail since there are wonderful villages to visit and there are two legal camp area for commuters. I can only pull this off with the right gear, and my new Cyclocross bike I’m saving up for. Unfortunately I’ll have to use bike bags to stuff my necessities. I’m learning how to be like a minimalist on the bike. I’m kind of like that at home. I only have what I need with a few materialistic things. I believe to not replace something if it’s not broken or worn out yet. I only upgrade if it will benefit myself. As Dave Ramsey says, “ Live like no one else and be weird”! We will have more money and ignore what our broke friends laugh at.

[@garyives1218]

you'll totally make it there some day! I had wanted to ride up a 14,000ft mountain in CO for over 20 years but finally, after so many years of keepin the dream alive, did it

[@TheRhino711]

Gary Ives thank you for the encouragement🙂 I’m glad my brother is supportive to let me stay with him when I’m ready to ride 74 miles to his house. Hopefully in less than 10 years I’ll have the courage and fitness to ride in Colorado. Upstate /western NY has some pretty gnarly hills to prepare on. I heard some pros or even just cycling enthusiasts travel to the Fingerlakes Region of NY to train on the hills.

[@johnarcher8090]

Safe travels, stay safe and God bless.

[@SuperMsp3]

I love your videos or should I say memories. Can’t wait to see how this adventure turns out.

[@risemedia2281]

Wow nice place

[@mauricegaston7422]

Awesome!!

[@jeffkatzer]

A very familiar starting point. We've been there many times. All the best of luck on your journey.

[@001kanchi]

When you going back to Nepal; I can’t wait to see your Next basecamp or Anupurna treak with you love one .

[@duzer]

Keshav KK hopefully soon!!

[@JonLeeUsa]

Be safe! Hopefully see you guys when you ride across or near Illinois.

[@garyives1218]

yeah, I saw their route going through northern IL when they announced their ride. I lived in Rockford (now liking AZ) and in season would drive out to Jo Davies county (Galena) once or twice a month to experience some hills. It looks like they were heading near there? Guess I'll find out as I continue watching these vids. I really miss that gorgeous rural hilly Mississippi river bluff terrain. Oh... and the first time I rode out there was my first taste of gravel which was a total surprise, and I loved it, even though it involved steep ( 8-9% was really steep for me at the time) gradients which gave my 25 mm tires the slip...…it felt so freakin epic. On another ride in the same area my rear derailleur cable broke and I fenagled a piece of cable to coax the derailleur onto a large rear cog :)

[@gscrum8743]

Congratulations. Enjoy your trip sharing love. First time When i met the pacific, i didnt expect a water so cold. Im from Brazil and the Atlantic is so warm. Even that i had to dive in it. Its freezing and i love it

[@johnvanderhulst4778]

Great video guys, greetings from the Netherlands.

[@duzer]

A Fellow 'Van' man!!! :)

[@Blueyes3131]

I'm real excited about this adventure that you guys are going on

you guys are amazing! if you guys ever come to France one day to do a bike tour I would love to meet you both!

[@CraigLafferty]

Love the footage! I know it is lots of work behind the scenes. Will be following you on the journey.

[@hedmisten]

Keep it up! Can’t wait to see more. Love advice after 10 years of marriage? Life has mountains and valleys. Stick beside her when traversing either of them, and things work out for your good.

[@travisjgood02]

Safe travels

[@biketothetop]

Ryan, this is no longer the plan it's the reality... Glad to see you guys rolling and having the Miracles of travel take place with support by others to Aid your journey. Perhaps some of that salt water residue will be delivered to New York and stay with your bikes the whole trip!

[@BigRon092]

Love it! Safe travels!

[@scottb7835]

This is gonna be awesome!

[@iantaplin903]

Amazing video keep up the good work

[@caltex1969]

My trike flies for free on SWA and I don't even have to take it apart. I check it in as a mobility device.

[@cosimodirondo7642]

I discovered your channel and it is exciting, plenty of new and interesting places and people in the USA. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Discover our country trough bikecanine, a youtuber who rides around Spain with his dog, lovely. My best wishes to both of you.

[@duzer]

Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy my channel!

[@axlent123]

Just started this series... I saw olneys... and ol Pete! And I’ve never seen fort Stevens from a drone!!! Nice!!!! And I hear that fort Stevens is a popular place for riding the trails! Perfect place to start your ride!! Now did you go all the way to that other Astoria on that the other coast?

[@danstevens238]

If you make it to southeast Kansas hit us up on warm showers. I’d be glad to put y’all up for a cpl days

[@duzer]

Dan Stevens thanks for the offer, but we finished the tour in late August. Have a great day!

[@danstevens238]

Ryan Van Duzer maybe next time

[@eduzer24]

Wooo Highway 101!

[@jmanuelu.8433]

¡Adelante y suerte!

[@travisreed5965]

[@HOWBAZARY]

Thank you God for making bicycles!

[@939Productions]

You two look amazing together. Keep on posting this awesome content. (Just for Ryan. She is the best kind of freak, isn't she??)

[@douglasherr4645]

Helmet, safety first. Haha. If the plane had crashed I don't think the helmet would have helped. Greatly enjoyed all the videos. Thank you!

[@rollingthunder4599]

Ya, and if the plane crashed the helmet was on the wrong end. Haha

[@leewalling8667]

New subscriber here! I'm hooked already!!

[@duzer]

[@TheTravelVlogger]

Great video can't wait to see more from the series. Quick bike question...for long distance touring(multi day trips) how much do you recommend using clip shoes/pedals?

[@joshwalter5166]

What panniers did you use on this trip? Im not sure if you listed or if i overlooked the post . Cheers

[@duzer]

Ortlieb, not sure of the model

[@fiets901]

Be safe! Are you guys going to have anything setup so the viewers can see your route as you go? Like zerosixzero?

[@leonjohansson6542]

Just for the record you started in Warrenton, Oregon at the Pacific Coast, not Astoria. ( I used to be the City Engineer in Warrenton.) If you are back this way I can be of assistance for you biking needs in NW Oregon.

[@duzer]

Whoopsie!! My bad. Thanks for the correction. I’ll let you know if I make it back out that way someday. Such a beautiful area

[@santanuhalder245]

Hi I just love your works😋🤗🙏Which cycle model u using sir ??

[@duzer]

Trek Checkpoint

[@colmherbie8261]

Ryan Ali quick question, did you swap from the Trek 1120 to the Trek Checkpoint due to more road Travelling?

[@rollingthunder4599]

Don't know if you'd ever see this, but would you make out a list of everything you took with you? Thank you!

[@duzer]

I did, and the list is in the description of every video
