2 Months and 8,000 Miles -- Our Summer Cross-Country Van Trip

Hopped up on maple syrup, raring to ride bikes and visit the playground, our family packed up our van and drove all across the country late in the summer and early fall of 2023. We attended events, races, rides, weddings, and lots of adventures in between. This is one part "how-to" and another part "video photo album" for posterity.

We did a van (with bikes) trip with our kids back in the 90's, counterclockwise around the country. Got some unforgettable family memories for both us and the kids. Highly recommend.

WOW - what an experience / adventure to say the least. Thank you for sharing. We are in the initlal planning of seriously looking to build / buy a Srpinter van to travel once we are finally able to retire. While in a few years, looking at this video - I can't wait for May 31, 2027... Being from MTL - Qc but away at this time, I cannot wait to travel and ride those roads again. Keep sharing these wonderful adventures. Any future plans for Rooted in Vermont?

[@rexthedog9637]

THIS is what you did for the summer! Build family memories. All the races, including the Divide were just distractions😄

I can tell your daughter is going to be a serious cyclist by the way she loves pastries. I mean the smile in her face with that chocolate donut was priceless. Memories for a lifetime indeed, thank for sharing your awesome family adventure

[@Stalkerfiveo]

AMAZING!

[@daveg8212]

I think this might be one of my favorite youtube videos, combining Summer roadtripping, van life, bikes, mountain towns and, of course, pastries.

[@TedKing1]

Thank you!
