Thanks for letting me know! Perhaps another time we will try that route. We still had a blast the way we did it. 😎👍🏼

@@Iliketoadventure if you've never been the island is a must. You can rent bikes there or bring your own. There are no cars, just pedestrians, horses, and bikes.

@@auntdee845 I’ve heard about the island but have not yet experienced it. It’s definitely on our list now. It sounds amazing! Thanks again for letting me know. Happy adventures to you this summer!🌞👍🏼

Hey thanks for watching! This indeed was a fantastic ride! I did it three consecutive years in the month of June. The temps were definitely warming up! The first year, I also rode back solo from Yosemite to SF in two full days- 200 miles! I wouldn’t recommend trying that- the head winds were not fun either! But definitely an experience . The first two rides, I rode a Bianchi Iseo (which had custom touring wheels). My third ride, I was using a Kona Sutra touring bike ( much better and easier for the steep climbs!) My Bianchi did not have a granny gear, but I still made it to the top! Haha. Along the way, we stayed at a family friend in the pastures of Jenny Lind. The second night, we stayed at an empty Church community center in the mining town of Sonora. The third night, we camped outside of Yosemite Park at the Pines campground- which was awesome. The descent down to the bottom was epic and last 8-10 miles of coasting. Hold on and enjoy! We were also chaperoning a small group of 8th grade grads, so that was a little intense and we def had a n overall slower pace. We all made it tho! I hope you get to do this ride. Let me know if you’d like to see the strava of this ride. Good luck with the prepping. You are gonna have a great time if you do it. Yosemite is so beautiful! Cheers😎✌🏼

The area is very pretty!👍🏼

That’s awesome, great memories! Excellent place for a bike ride too. Thanks for watching. Cheers!😎✌🏼

Cheers brother👊🏼The Michigan coast awaits your arrival!😎

Us too❣️😁☀️🌊

Lovely getaway❣️☀️🌊

Yes indeed! 😎A good dose of the Michigan coast does me good!☀️💕

Beautiful sun rays poking through the clouds and a chilly early March lake breeze blowing in too. Love this coastline!

Hey thanks for watching and adding a positive comment! I hope you get on this awesome trail! Cheers😎👍🏼

Hey thanks for watching and adding a positive comment! This was a super fun and beautiful trail to ride. I hope you get to enjoy it when the weather warms up! Cheers😎🙏🏼🚲

Thanks a bunch for watching and adding your positive comment! Appreciate it👍🏼 I’d say prolly about 60% bike trails along the way but still very rideable! Overall felt safe and comfortable with the route. Might have been a few stretches of little road shoulder but mostly felt good. I hope you get to check this ride off your list someday! Cheers!😎🙏🏼🚲

Thanks for watching! I’m so glad we did this loop tour! It was such an awesome adventure. A great ride to put on your list for sure. There were some sections where we were not on bike trails (like in Michigan City area and also riding eastbound at times along US 2 in the UP-with the logging trucks) but overall it was a terrific and safe journey. I hope you get to enjoy it someday soon!😎👍🏼🚲

That’s awesome! I hope you get on this loop at some point soon! It’s was an incredible journey! Thanks for watching~ cheers😎🙏🏼

Thanks a lot for watching and commenting! I highly recommend this trip! 🤙🏼🚲With our ride, we mostly followed Adventure Cycling maps (see North Lakes Section 2 & 3) from Escanaba, MI to New Buffalo, MI. We had hard copies and digital access to the maps on my phone. These AC maps did not cover our entire route, so we had to use google maps to plan our route from Chicago, IL to Escanaba, MI as well as New Buffalo, MI to Chicago. I programmed the directions into my Garmin as well. Still managed to get off trail for moments! All part of the adventure! I can share my strava ride if you send me a quick email. Cheers!🙌🏼😁👍🏼

@@Iliketoadventure awesome! I am familiar with ACA and will check out their maps. If you provide me your email, I’ll send you a request. Bret

Hey thanks for watching! Erie Canal sounds like a great ride. I hope you enjoy. Good question. During our adventure years ago now, Mackinac Bridge had indefinitely suspended its bicycle trailering program as part of measures to help slow the spread of the Covid-19 virus. Also, as you may know, bicycles are not allowed to cross the Mackinac Bridge on their own. Luckily, my mom just happened to be road tripping in her van through the UP at the time. She met us on the north side of the Mackinaw Bridge and drove us across. We stayed at the Mackinaw Mill Creek Campground and then continued pedaling our way down the MI coast! It was awesome. Otherwise, I’m not sure what we would have done! Perhaps the Mackinaw bridge shuttle service is now available tho - something to research further. Thanks for watching and safe/happy travels out there! Cheers😎✌🏼

State of Michigan says there’s a phone on both sides of the bridge. They will haul you across no charge. You may need to wait though.

Also, thanks for your nice comments about the Wisconsin side. Watched another guy and all he did was complain. It was obvious from rest of his vid that he didn’t plan very well.

@@FLUSHER822 great news, thanks for the update. I’m glad shuttle service is back up and running!

@@FLUSHER822 I loved biking through Wisconsin! Beautiful state, terrific people, and great bike paths! 😊👍🏼

A hidden paradise indeed! Gotta get you on a kayak next summer!🛶❤️

Hey thanks a lot for the nice comment! So glad you got to enjoy both trails! What a terrific adventure! Cheers😊🙏🏼

Hey thanks for checking out my video! We had a blast on this trip! We also enjoyed biking through Wisconsin and Michigan - there were lots of great bike trails. I wish you the best as you figure out your next adventure.There are many rail trails and bike paths out there to explore. Cheers ✌

Thank you! 😎🙏🏼 I was using the DJI Air2S. I’ve really enjoyed flying it. It’s a fun way to capture an adventure.

Hi Nur! I’m so happy to read your comment :) I hope you are enjoying your adventures this year. I am so proud of you!

Wow, that’s gonna be a fun ride! In regards to maps, I used maps from American Cycling Association. The maps were #2 and #3 from the set “Chicago to New York”. Are you familiar with these maps? I also used Strava- I am attaching the link so you can follow me. strava.app.link/2tuUuf5YyBb I hope this helps! Happy and safe travels!😎👍🏼🚲

It’s a great ride. I enjoyed the trail and scenery. The weather was great too, maybe got a little warm but all good overall. The bell was there, so I rang it😁 Cheers and happy adventures, friend! I always enjoy your videos! Keep on!👍🏼

Thanks for taking the hike with us! 😁❤️

Good question! I’m flying it while riding!😁 At times, I also activate the auto tracking and it follows me without having to control it. Drone technology is amazing these days! I’m still learning as I go but it’s a great way to capture the beauty of an adventure. ​​⁠I was using the DJI Air2S. It worked amazingly-was quite impressed with it! Are you looking into drones? Doing any adventures? Cheers!👍🏼

Thanks for watching and adding a positive comment! We had a blast doing this ride! With our trip, we did not have our itinerary all set. We did try to plan a couple or few days ahead, but we were also quite spontaneous. We were initially concerned about campgrounds possibly being full since it was the heart of the summer. Whenever possible we looked ahead a day or two to see if we could book a camp site or hotel/motel. We never had issues getting a site. We also never really knew how far we were going to make it each day. Sometimes we chose a cheap motel/hotel/Airbnb, etc. Overall, we were giving ourselves about 3 weeks to do the trip, not knowing how long it would actually take us. If I was going solo, I think I could have done the trip in approximately 12-14 days, depending on the many variables (weather, my health, bike health, special locations, etc). We mostly followed Adventure Cycling maps (see North Lakes Section 2 & 3) from Escanaba, MI to New Buffalo, MI. We had hard copies and digital access to the maps on my phone. These AC maps did not cover our entire route, so we had to use google maps to plan our route from Chicago, IL to Escanaba, MI as well as New Buffalo, MI to Chicago. I programmed the directions into my Garmin as well. Still managed to get off trail for moments at times, haha. All part of the adventure! I hope this info helps! Cheers and happy biking around the lake in July! 😁👍🏼 🚲

The drone has been an amazing way to capture the beauty around me while biking. I really enjoy using it. That’s awesome you rode the GAP! It’s one of my favorite trails. And yes, May is a terrific month to ride it! Happy summer, happy adventures to you!😎👍🏼

@@Iliketoadventure I rode most of it on the first day 118 miles and finished up the next morning but if I would ride it again I would take more time and explore more. I have a video too if you want to check it out. Have a great day!

@@FollowThomas that’s great! 118 miles in one day, wow! That’s impressive! I’m definitely gonna check out your video- thank for letting me know! What’s your next adventure? All the best😎🙏🏼

@@Iliketoadventure I'm going to ride C&O trail in July.

@@FollowThomas C&O is another epic trail! I experienced some crazy rainy weather and flash flooding along the C&O two summers ago. Hope you get great weather! I’ll be watching! Cheers😎✌🏼

Hey thanks for watching and commenting! Sorry for my delayed reply. Good questions. For this ride, I used maps from American Cycling Association. The maps were from the Transamerica Bicycle Trail. These maps were very useful. You can order either hard copy or digital versions. I like having them both. I hope this helps you! Happy and safe adventures!😎👍🏼

It was a fantastic ride around the lake! So cool to leave from our doorstep and end up back home 19 days later. Thanks for watching!😎🙏🏼

That’s awesome! I hope you have a great adventure. Where are you starting? Safe travels!😎👍🏼🚲

@@Iliketoadventure A few miles outside Chicago beginning from my front door in Park Ridge, along the Botanical Garden trail.

That’s awesome. Have a safe and fun ride around the lake!🙌🏼🚲

@@Iliketoadventure Park Ridge, just nw of Chicago.

Oh yeah, I know Park Ridge. Have a great ride! Will you be video documenting your trip? Enjoy!

Thanks bro! Loved everything about the Smoky Mts too! Off-season is a great time to visit.

Yes! Loved hiking the Smoky Mountains! ⛰️🥾❤️ Thanks for watching, T!

Thanks for watching! I hope you have a wonderful adventure in May!😎👍🏼🚲
