The Impossible Route Ep.3 - Bike Packing Across Montana (A Cycling Documentary)

[@TheVCAdventures]

Once again everyone, I can’t put into words how much your support means to not just myself but the team behind these videos. The fact that this series has been received so well has allowed us to start planning for a season 2. I appreciate you, I really do. This is not meant to be a money making venture, it’s a passion project. But if you thought this was worth a small donation, it goes a long way. Love you, hope you enjoyed. www.paypal.com/paypalme/vegancyclist

Excellent Tyler.. your an inspiration in life and cycling.. well done and thanks man.. Darren from Ireland 🇮🇪 👏

[@kevinanderson8747]

What bike are your guys now riding and tire set up. The GRIZL or Grail, anything you would change wider tires or or dropper post??? Great story, make me want to go ride.

[@markcavandish1295]

This is better than a bunch of Netflix docs currently available.

👆 must be good when a pro cyclist comments on your video

[@markcavandish1295]

@@izzly42 Actually he’s Cavendish… I’m Cavandish… but really I’m Chris.

[@izzly42]

Ah, I see. That’s funny

[@jeremiahbishopswheelhouse]

Thanks for all the great comments and support! On many occasions this almost didn’t happen! To see this concept come to life is a dream come true!

[@izzly42]

When you plan a route, you don’t mess around! Every roadie needs a guy like you to push them further than they thought possible. All three of these “IR” videos were harder than the previous one, I never heard you utter even a slight complaint. You sir, are a legend.

[@RichChh]

You're a tough one Jeremiah!!

[@justinbouchard]

13:22 I grew up north of lake superior hunting, trapping, guiding, sleeping in hammocks, tens and sometimes nothing, year round. Insulation is exactly how it works in my experience.

[@trwilliams22]

The world needs more people like Jeremiah Bishop- lots of positivity.

[@justinbouchard]

@@trwilliams22 You clearly don't know what actual positivity looks like. Phrases that are just reinterpretations of "pull your boot straps harder" is not positive.

[@masonp5083]

The way Eddie said “No, don’t leave me” as you guys left him with the mama grizzly had me dying

[@jonbello4573]

Eddie should return in the next installment of IR. This is probably one of the best if not the best documentary on gravel riding.

[@richardotieno1434]

I like that tour.

[@alec_cycling]

"No, don't leave me" - Eddie I felt that

[@craiggroseth2032]

Nice work Tyler, Jeremiah and Eddie! Great to ride with you for a bit on your Day 1 and share our visions of riding remote roads. Thanks for slowing down to chat! Paul rode 1,200 miles over 24 days before running out of vacation time. He plans to come back next year to continue the GDMBR. I rode solo for 1,400 more miles over 27 more days to reach Antelope Wells. An experience like no other. Unbelievable.

[@Mike-vd2qt]

Hey Craig and Paul, this is Mike - San Diego, I was with Gary from IN, and Rich from NY. We rode with you and Paul one day and camped together at Henry's Lake MT, or the next day toward Red Rock (the bar/restaurant where we camped on the lawn). I made it down to Steamboat Springs, CO on the gdmbr, I might finish the rest to NM this summer. Happy trails, hope you guys are well.

[@craiggroseth2032]

@@Mike-vd2qt Great to hear from you, Mike! We both enjoyed riding and camping with you "Three Amigos." Paul Brasby also plans to return to the GDMBR this July to ride from Rawlins to Antelope Wells with some other friends. You can probably connect better with him (and me) on FaceBook. Have fun!

[@nheard0]

Eddie was a great addition to this episode. He complemented you and JB really well, great commentary, all around awesome kid.

[@mikeqiu2426]

you can hear the fear in Eddie's voice when he said "DONT LEAVE ME"

[@MarkARebuck]

With most bikepacking videos, I get jealous of the scenery, or the bikes, or the fitness levels of the riders... This time I'm jealous of the Biju. I need to get a Biju for my trips!

[@TheVCAdventures]

Biju makes everything great 😊

[@BillNicholsTV]

Everyone needs a biju in their life

[@nickvantress9259]

ONLY complaint.... this was only an hour. Great work tyler and crew

[@pjcaps100]

My wife who is not into cycling, loves your channel now! Haha we have been catching up on a bunch of content. So thanks VC for giving us something to watch together

[@saynotothegreatreset]

Take your time she will be cycling soon

[@williamdowling7718]

50:39 imagine the smell in that truck on the 15-20 mile drive.... bless those kind folks. Lol.

[@alexandergarland77]

Hey guys I'm a dialysis patient of 19 years but I'm also a mountainbiker... I have my own KZbin channel just like you and I learned so much from your adventures I have some of the similar adventures in the woods into greenways when I can but let me tell you something I suffer dearly having to endure dialysis to stay alive however when it comes down to seeing the sunrise on a good weather day and my body is not exceptionally tired or I'm in pain getting out there and pedaling takes all of that away sort of like your day too and day one in the beginning. I don't know what it is I can't explain it but being on a trail and going down 50 to 20 miles just to go get lunch and turn around and come back is my addiction this Vlog was everything and I really truly appreciate it this was the motivation I was looking for during a dark time dealing with having four surgeries on my legs and experiencing crazy leg pain everyday I haven't been able to be on my bike consistently however it's just reminds me of what I need to be doing and I appreciate you guys.

[@kay_jay_em]

Ayyyyyyyyyyyyy, love the intro with the Robert Frost poem!!!!

[@jeremiahbishopswheelhouse]

That was eddies idea!

[@atmamont]

This is insane! Every time Tyler and co go through the hardest effort in their life I think okay it must have been over for this time. No, they are doing it again. Thanks guys you deliver this top quality content and I can just enjoy watching it, enjoying Tyler’s soulful commentary along with improving my English skills and learning some really nice idioms :)

[@imasurfer2]

Thanks!

The soundtrack to these impossible videos are just brilliant

What a treat to wake up and see a new episode of the impossible route! Kids are asleep and a big coffee in my hand. YEAH!

[@road2cat122]

The quality behind the production of every film you produce is absolutely amazing. Finding your motivation watching these films should be easy! Keep them coming bro 👊🏽

[@russellmcguire312]

Bruh. Best video ever- unbelievable!

[@grantohalloran1667]

Thanks

[@grantohalloran1667]

Love the channel and in particular the impossible route series - has inspired me to get out there and do some epic rides again - well done

[@seandavis1298]

Honestly I’m in awe with each of your videos. I have no doubts this could blow up on Netflix and other streaming apps. The quality of these impossible routes are top notch👌🏼

[@NeonGrayEdits]

I e said this before as have many others! I’m curious if it will ever happen. If not, what is the reason?

[@EverythingIsPhotogenic]

So happy for you and the guys. Living these experiences that you will carry with you for the rest of your lives. Things like this are truly life-changing, you've left an indelible mark on your life and people can see how you've truly grown as a person.

[@izzly42]

I love your channel, too!

[@ramouflard]

Honestly Tyler, you're just the best at telling those stories... Never too cheesy, never too serious, never too cocky, just an honest storytelling that just makes you wanna grab your bike and explore. And btw, Jeremiah also rips and Eddie was a gem on this one.

[@lancegoins3423]

Got a screenshot from the pickup ride on my phone now. For some reason this is inspiring to me; three completely wiped out bicyclists looking forlorn in the backseat of a truck.😁

[@neodjr]

These videos are freaking works of art and need/deserve millions of views. please share.

[@AdamRussellCycling]

"An average guy doing above average things" - I LOVE this! It's so simple, yet tells you everything you need to know about the person and the challenge ahead ❤

[@collinkendall2028]

Best impossible route yet! Not to be that guy but you misspelled "Virginia City" (around 44 min). Can't wait until the next one! Yuh!

[@Datnomail]

Just started riding and I suck so bad but this just gave me the motivation to keep going. Thank you! Going to keep taking the harder road as well.

[@randallsmith7885]

The drone shot of laying in the river was epic!

[@TraderJHart]

Love your content, VC! I'm 31 y/o and am just getting back into cycling after 12 years of being focused on the wrong things. Your videos have me dreaming again for the first time in a long time. Keep the stoke levels high my friend!

We’ll done. More people need to see this.

One of the best cycling films I have seen. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@jeremiahbishopswheelhouse]

Thanks Jonathan and Tim as I watch the video I almost shed a tear realizing I might never make it this high mountain tops again but I'm sure thankful I have seen it once!

[@ernestonuevo9074]

This guy Tyler is a loco bad ass. We love him and his videos. Is a role model for the rest of us that love the bikes and adventures. Vamos Tyles, smash those pedals and suffer. That will be your redemption.... LOL.....

"No need to pout, I'm an eagle scout. Woooooow". That along with ensuing music actually lifts my watts on the bike when I'm watching!!!

These impossible route episodes have been amazing. The great thing is North America is loaded with so many routes that could be ridden for future episodes. Keep em coming and keep inspiring

[@robahelms]

Very professionally done! The editing, presentation and story telling get better with each episode! Love the series! Also, let's hear it for Eagle Scouts!

[@amonza]

This was amazing. You’re inspiring me to do my own version of an impossible route - at least something that’s impossible for me.

[@steven54knights]

Insane ride dude. You're soooooooo much better than just an average cyclist.

[@mikesima9396]

finding joy in the face of adversity, self imposed or not is fuel for my mind and body. Any idiot can suffer, but it takes a special one to realize the value and share with others. Thank you and your whole team for putting in the work and making this happen. Top shelf gentlemen ..... your setting a new benchmark for stoke.

[@stelladavis7443]

Cycling is about suffering, but you do it on another level. Incredible effort. Incredible film. Well done all involved.

[@amonza]

You missed your career as a documentary filmmaker. These films are amazing, with great production values. So great.

[@GratzRides]

Tyler, Jeremiah, Eddie! You guys and your crew with Biju enlightened me on this heavy day (6 years to the day of my dad's passing). I grew up in Missoula and my dad was from Butte, East of Anaconda. I've ridden practically everywhere you guys rode on this video including some of the impossible routes you found yourself out on stranded in the night. I must say, I absolutely loved and dug time stamp from about 19:00 to around 25:00 in to Missoula. That's my backyard. I helped make those trails in the 1970's. Yeeeooowww!!! The camaraderie you fellas laid down was respectable and noteworthy. the patience and humility...outstanding. The perseverance and wherewithal you all showed revealed the epitome of what it is to do what you set out to do: to complete and make possible the impossible!! WELL DONE! Jeremiah - haven't seen you since the Sugarcane200 down here in South Florida. Awesome performance that day with Ted and Dylan. Keep those pedals crank'n! -Gratz

[@stanvdvn2215]

I’m at 2/3 of the length of the video and I have to pause to write a comment on how amazed I am by the quality of this video !

[@pvasiliou3948]

Tyler, dude! you got to give yourself a little more credit when you describe the group at the beginning of every single one of these. You use words like "world-class" this or that when you talk about Jeremiah, and it's all deserved, but you're no "regular" or "ordinary" cyclist. You're a freakin' beast! well done. I've now watched all of these and am totally hooked. And I don't have any desire to do any gravel bike riding or bike packing. But the whole idea of riding beyond one's perceived limits is so appealing and awesome, I have to continue to watch. Oh, and your hair every morning: pure gold. MONEY! Keep making these. I love them. Good luck.

[@MrTrav36]

As a carpenter from New Zealand , this is a dream of mine to cycle around parts of your beautiful country , thanks for making this video !!

[@garrettnielsen9562]

I cant imagine only having three water bottles and no streams/waterbodies on that day 4 climb! Loved Tyler's reaction at the top of Red. Kick ass.

[@Strenki-real]

Wau, just wau. I watch many youtubers (not just cycling), but this production ... love every second of this, thank you guys! Awesome scenery and trails!

[@klyyoung2728]

If this became a DVD series or Netflix series, no doubt it'll be a huge hit. Absolutely awesome content!

[@Jmisslyn]

Thank you so very much for this series !! You have truly inspired me to a newly elevated mind set. Later this year I will be traveling to Yellowstone National Park to work for 4 months. I will be leaping into semi retirement and I am scared !! I have hiked, backpacked, swam, water polo'd, biked, tri's, horses, sailed. !! I've done so much...but for some reason my brain tells me I'm a poser. That I am not deserving, that it's all a farce. Your videos remind me that anything is possible, just put your head down, one foot in front of another. I love your mantra about the present me and future me ! You all are amazing ! Thank you so much for the inspiration. 64 and still goin' at it.

[@ldpranzy]

How's it even possible that these keep getting better and better from the previous ones...this is gold, 100@%

[@jeremiahbishopswheelhouse]

I think it's because we don't know what we're doing and we keep getting a little bit better each time thanks Leonel.

[@dialedhealth]

Favorite one yet! The landscapes were insane.

[@shortshorts695]

I've never watched a film that's made me want to ride my bike as much as this one Tyler. Thank you so much for documenting this impossible journey and everything you do for our community.

I'm ashamed to say, I added this to my Watch Later list so I could sit down and listen to it in one go, and then I absolutely buried it in the list by adding a lot of... lesser content, we'll call it that. Now is the time to marvel at your journey, the suffering and the victories that comes with it. You're an absolute maniac on the bike, and very humble on the mic, which is a great combo for the content you make. Thanks for making these videos bro, you're a legend!!

Literally the best place I’ve been. 3 years till retirement. Definitely love Montana.

[@andreg1860]

My dude!!! No other word to describe this but EPIC!! You guys should be so proud of these rides!! It's so hard yo explain yo people what you go through while you ride and you hit it!! Those views were earned not given! Thank you all for sharing this experience! And Viju is the man!
