Hello from the Wauponsee Trail in Illinois! That's our favorite local path. We love your videos, and we were interested in the hat brim that you used for your helmet. Can you share where you found it?

The trail is family-friendly, but it's not uncommon to encounter riders speeding downhill as if they have something to prove. On one occasion, we paused to snap some photos, only to be shouted at by a passing cyclist who claimed we were disrupting his Garmin-recorded times by slowing him down.

I was introduced to your channel today, and have watched a few of your videos. I like and use TrailLink as well. However, compared to my real favorite bike-trail-related app/site - AllTrails - there are a couple of detractors that TrailLink should improve. While it is possible to save "Completed Trails", that is the only option. In AllTrails it is possible to create multiple lists of trails and to add trails to one or more of those lists. This allows you to have, for example, a Wishlist of trails, as well as Completed, Partially completed, or any other grouping you may wish (I create a new wish list for each of our cross-country road trips, and then add those trails we actually complete to the Completed list).

I grew up in Kingsport.I used to ride the green belt all the time and fish the Holston river.This video is making me homesick.👍😆✝️

I hope you were kidding when you said that it’s a Hall Of Fame Trail.

A shame the trails were not very enjoyable. But it's great that you chalk up the experience.... and look forward to the next adventure!

We rented Aventon e bikes and rode the trail a month ago, what a blast! Now we bought our own so will be back, you rode it the hard way, uphill!

i live in maine right near where you are riding......we moved up here in 2007 from massachusetts to avoid the rudeness and i think it followed us up here.......its like where we used to live now here and to be honest where are you going to go these days, the whole world has a different vibe......i still like watching your vids but i got stress watching this one and everytime your wife explained something how it was i already knew and she hit it right on the head

Love the fact that you guys fill your tanks with excellent fuel to continue your journey.

Overcrowding plus the fact that those folk are hibernating half the year, when it warms up, they're all out of their caves.

I spent many summers in Kennebunkport and are somewhat familiar with the area. I REALLY want to like this trail, particularly after all the hype it gets. However, it’s FAR too fragmented with on-road riding. I can handle “through neighborhoods” but route 1, no thanks. I’m going to check further, but I THINK one can ride northward on trails from the Bug Light area to the Portland waterfront and then onto the Eastern Promenade and around the Back Bay. Thank you for your honest reviews.

If you ever get the urge to check out the Down East Sunrise trail on your bikes, don't bother. It is a multi user trail (read lots of motorized 4 wheelers), deep sand, railroad ballast and acceleration bumps from the motor vehicles. We rode about 5 miles of it a few years ago and had to bail out and ride the road. And the road out to Machias doesn't really have much if any shoulder. Felt good to put that one behind us.

Great video I’m glad to see you guys are still out and about

We just call it the Iron Horse Trail... 🚲

At around 9:00 The name of the town is COP-lee

16 miles each way from Farmville, not the bridge. The east end of the trail dead ends but finally the last miles to Pamplin City is finished

Please next time get rid of the canadian flag and put a fleur de lys flag instead... And change the word Canada for Québec...

I love the way your videos fit the trails music they are very soothing. I love riding my ebike around the river trails! 😅😎

Fun fact all the exposed stumps in lake Keechelus are cedars (cypress), they last so long due to the natural occurring tannic acids in the wood. All the stumps from other trees would have rotted away and been gone within 25 years or so.

Thanks for showing us the beautiful scenery. Looks like a pretty dangerous trail with the fast bikers and all the switchbacks. Glad yall made it out of there with no accidents.

nice if you could spell George S. Mickelson

Great Video, I need to do this trail when i get a chance.

that is a very nice trail .

I discovered an abandoned rail line in the county where I live that would make an excellent rail trail, it crosses a very large portion of the county but of course, they never have money for such things.

So beautiful to watch and enjoy! Thank you!

Good video, thanks for sharing! Brian & Heather

Thank you, very entertaining! There are two historic USGS topographic maps that show the locations of the trestles. Look up USGS Historical Topographic Maps Oregon for the TNM downloader. The two sheets that you are looking for are Gales Creek (1941) and Vernonia (1940), both are 15" (1:62,500) scale. A little hard to read, but they show the location of the trestles. There might be other historical maps out there at a better scale. I suspect that they removed them for safety reasons as timber doesn't last forever that near to the coast.

Nice ride thank you for sharing

We enjoyed camphosting at Stubb and riding the trail. Oregon has some great scenic bikeways near there. Another great video.

How is that bridge for those petrified of heights?

Virginia Capitol trail is a great bike trail 👍👍

Thank you for the travelogue but as a cyclist what I missed was a short bit of info about your bikes. Your Chanel says ebike but you said the 2% grade was a slog. Please add a little bit of info so we can put ourselves in the saddle, so to speak.

Nice video , Me & my wife both love riding our E-bikes like you two do . We have a mini vacation where we will be biking in Cuyahoga NP & gonna visit the Lock 15 brewery like you recommended in another video , food looks awesome in another video we saw. Then we're off to this Heart of America trail near Centerburg , Ohio and was wondering if you had any similar brewery suggestions when you were there. We're headed to a concert to see Brandon Lake/Phil Wickham in Columbus during our stay in Centerburg . Thanks for videos and friendly suggestions.

Fun Video. As a side note - there are some other features on this trail that would have been worth adding video. As I recall, there were several campsites along the trail between Hyak & your starting place. The resort was a great add in that vein. Thank you! - as a side note: as I get older, the notation of the vault toilets are good to see.

You mean the John Wayne trail.....

Great video and the trail is amazing. Haven’t biked it but did walk it a bit if while vacationing through New England last year. Burlington is a terrific city as well as the University and the lake, great place.

wow...great trail! greetings from toronto canada. our trails here are flat - like no mountains - only the niagara escarpment.

Awesome video!!!!

It sounds like you added a throttle to a mid drive e-bike, is that right? Can you tell me which mid drive motor you have and how you added a throttle to it?. I have an older bike with a conversion kit with hub motor, from before e-bikes were easy to buy pre-made. I consider a throttle A essential safety feature, but very few pre-built e-bikes in the US come with a throttle. Would love to know how to get and off the shelf mid drive e-bike, and add a throttle to it. Thank you very much. I'm considering an e-bike with a mid-drive to make tire changes easier, and for more torque for steep hills. The other thing I like about my conversion kit (Grin Tech) is that the electric assist curves are very tunable. For example, I can set it up to have very little assist in the beginning until I hit a certain level of horsepower input, and then the assist ramps up very quickly, and have 9 levels of assit that i can change with a thumb switch without moving my hand from the grip. I'm not sure if any of the commercial bikes allow this level of adjustability yet.

Thanks for the pre-view! We'll have to check that one out one day. A little bit of adventure make the ride more memorable, doesn't it?! Just keep the Go-Pro low when going under those low bridges!

Did the perkiomen trail after watching your video. We loved it! Does the pine creek restrict class 2 ebikes from being on there?

How do you handle these long trails? Only in sections or do you have two cars and park one on the other end? Just curious. I'd love to take on the Rio Grande trail but 84 miles in one day seems a bit much. I suppose I could park or stay half-way and only do the half-way to Aspen one day and then half-way to Glenwood Springs the next day.

In 2019 we rented an Airbnb in Sequim for a few nights and rode towards Port Townsend one day and towards Port Angeles on another day on regular bikes, but an ebike would have been much better as it was hilly on the ride toward Port Angeles. Now we have e-bikes and want to ride from Port Angeles to the coast over 3 days and another 3 or 4 days back. Biggest challenge is finding availability in motel or cabin with electricity to recharge batteries each night. It’s helpful to see where you park your RV and get your review of riding conditions!😊

Maybe 5 years ago, I rode this trail. I started out at Emlenton. When I arrived at the first tunnel, I was really skeptical about riding through it. I did have a light but it was big time insignificant. Plus, my equilibrium is lousy without visual references. I decided not to be stupid and turned around. But a large group of bikers arrived so I decided to follow them using them as the reference. Haha, didn't work. They peddled much faster than I did and soon I was in pitch black and no sighting of either end. I fell. It was a nasty fall but thankfully nothing broken. I walked the rest of the way out. I was in too much pain to keep going, so I walked around a little bit and noticed the sun was setting and pointing directly down the tunnel. I took advantage of that. But soon after, I entered the darkness again and hit the brakes before I lose my balance. Because I hit the brakes so hard, the bike came to a stop but unfortunately I kept going with the bike landing on me. Hahaha I walked out again. If you don't have REALLY bright lights or have a balance problem, WALK through the tunnel. I also felt that the roadway reflective markers were insufficient even with my small light. There was no reflection from them. Maybe they've been replaced since I was there. I rode the trail again the following year but during the Fall. I actually enjoyed the trail without all the foliage because I could see the river most of the time along with the setting sun. I felt it was far more scenic than during the summer. I didn't go into the tunnel. When I invest in proper lighting, I'll return. Thanks for video.

Great video. Thanks

Thank you for the video, plus for the links you provided

You guys had way too much making this video!! It was fun to watch and thanks for taking us along.

Love this ride and have done it many times. Peasant, flat, and peaceful (except when trout season begins!), and Frenchtown and Lambertville are great places to stop Good job!

Acadia National Park is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to and hope to return to someday. I can't wait to take my supermonarch ebike and tear up the trails.

If you guys are ever in Missouri come checkout the Katy Trail! The St Charles, Klondike Park and Rocheport areas are all nice sections of it!
