A 500 mile bikepacking journey through Southern California
I camped in the shelter at the tunnel and although, nice there are marmots that live under it and make noise all night.
I wish I had done that too I just didnt time it right.
Glad you enjoyed my playground bud. I loved the video. Thank you. Next time use Vicks vapo Rub behind your ears to keep the wee buggers away 😂
I like your attitude. And don't worry, when you're in your 50s you can still ride your bike wherever you'd like to go.
thanks Danny, appreciate you
Great looking adventure of my country ❤️🏴 loving some of the tunes too, especially New Order 😎 now I need to watch more of you trips👍
@@scotlandmyhome7484 Thank you for watching! Ceremony is a song I associate with many good memories on my bike so it was special to include it here.
Excellent video!
Thank you!
For Brits interested in coming to the US, what trails would you recommend? Looking for something a bit different to UK riding and about the same length as the Pictish trail (and preferably no bears lol)
Great question! What type of riding do you like? Paved, dirt roads or singletrack? What’s your experience level bikepacking?
Great ride and video! I did it myself a couple of years ago but it took me twice as long because I couldn't seem to get started no earlier than 10:30 each morning! A lot of that terrain is no joke.
Thanks Scott, this one is definitely challenging and not a ride I would recommend for a first time bikepacker, but still very rewarding.
Wow, what an epic adventure through Northern Arizona! The mix of landscapes, from the red rocks of Sedona to the forests near Flagstaff, looked absolutely stunning. It’s amazing how much variety you packed into 240 miles. The singletrack sections seemed like a real treat, and the route through Sedona must have been a highlight! This ride definitely showcases why Arizona is such a bikepacking gem 🚴♂🏜
@@TalesFromAbroad-SJ that really is the highlight of this route.. the variety of landscapes!
what's the best time of the year to do that loop.?
@@theduckrc211v4 spring and fall!
Hi David great job, I am sorry about your camera, could you tell me what is the best season to do the route that you did?
Hi Ricardo thank you for watching and I appreciate that! Here is what the official guidance on this route says about when to do it: Spring and fall are the best times to ride the Coconino Loop. In the spring, you need to wait for the snow to melt in the higher elevations around Flagstaff. You also don’t want to go too late in the summer as Sedona can be really hot.
smells like a 100 full porta potty's that has been sitting in the hot sun fermenting for weeks on end, you can smell slab city 5 miles down wind before you enter it
Hahaha no kidding
excellent video!
Thank you!
👍
Great camera work and editing, thank you, David!
Thank you for watching!
Enjoying the video! Don't sweat the coyotes, they rarely attack humans. When they do attack it's more often in an urban setting where they have become comfortable with humans.
Thanks for watching. I know they are typically harmless it was just a little unnerving to have them so close by.
Looks like a hell of a route man. I totally agree that the thrill factor of bikepacking is what makes it feel like more of an adventure, for example having no idea where you’re gonna end up camping. Or also “shortcutting” a route and it ends up making the ride harder, like I did on my most recent route
100% the uncertainty of it part of the thrill
I have to add, Chance is a very wise man! This is an awesome video! Great job.
Beautiful! My family lives in Alpine and I lived in Jamul, so I am very familiar with the area. You bring back happy memories of running in the mountains and the desert. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed the video. This whole region is associated with happy memories for me!
Great video! I once hiked part of the Buckeye Trail in Ohio and had to slog through a bog...needless to say, it was not fun, so I was really cheering you on during your bog slog. Love your upbeat attitude too.
Appreciate you watching and sharing the kind words!
Another amazing one David!
thank you bro
Another great video brother 😎👏👏👏
Thank you bro!
I'm always into bike packing. I'm a very big guy, and I'm on a weight loss journey. One of the reasons and is probably one of my biggest goals is to bike pack. I just stumbled onto your channel, and I must say you have inspired me more than ever. Bike Packers have expressed themselves, but you have made me feel like it's possible, and I can't wait until it is. I had to subscribe. Please keep them coming. And thanks
It absolutely is possible. One step at a time. Thank you for the support and the kind words. I look forward to seeing photos of your first bikepacking adventure!
I don't know why, but you look like my future boyfriend😊😮❤ Who also likes bikepacking. So I like the video and subscribe.😊🚵🤗
doing my homeland proud. flagstaff (and sedona, for that matter) is totally gentrified from when I was a kid though
@@dalton-at-work thanks for watching! Flagstaff definitely had that vibe to it
Fantastic video and great to watch. I really liked the filming from various angles and drone footage showing the beautiful scenery at its best
Thank you for watching! The scenery was incredible!
Beautiful video, I was riding in Sedona a few back, I rented a full suspension rig. It was great fun but exhausting terrain.
Terrain is super slow but I bet it was nice on a full sus. Sedona has to be some of the best mountain biking in the country.
Loved the video! that is my favorite place on earth, .. you need to pedal up to Jerome next time!
Thanks for watching. What did I miss in Jerome?
@@dlambbikepacking just a quaint little historic mining town, great food and beer at the top of lots of hills!
@@craigthomas8198 I wont forgot that on my next AZ trip!
Amazing footage
Thanks for watching!
Sorry about your lens.. I could see it on your face afterwards….that’s life huh…you endure the loss and move on. Really enjoyed your video…keep riding and keep making….
It is, after all, just a thing that can be replaced. Tough pill to swallow given how much money I spent, but worse things could happen on these trips. Appreciate your support!
Awesome!
thanks for watching!
Super video!Great adventure!
Thank you for watching!
Nice work David, this really made me want to be riding in Arizona! Dropper post for the win! I don't think i'd every own another bike without a dropper haha. Such a bummer about the lens! Are you going to just replace it with another Sigma or go a different route? Consider looking at the Sony 24-105, its an great lens! Cheers!
Thanks Chris! I was actually going to ask you about that. I like the 24-105 but it's f4 and I thought I would benefit more from an f2.8 24-70 Sigma. Let me know your thoughts! Do you use the full zoom range a lot?
@@dlambbikepacking Hah, its like a bike... you'll never have the perfect lens for all situations. You're probably right that you'd benefit more from the f2.8...better in low light and gives you more leeway to adjust the depth of field to your liking. You pay for it with a slight weight and size penalty. The 24-105 feels a bit smaller and lighter to me. It also has optical image stabilization. That matters for me when I am doing handheld shots of other people, especially when I am punched in. If you're doing most of your riding alone, OSS is a bit irrelevant because you'll be set up on a tripod anyway. I do find when I take the 24-105 I use the long end of the focal range quite a lot, even when it is just me. On my last several trips I've taken the 24-70. On one of them I saw a bear in a tree and wished I had the extra 35mm of range. But had I taken the 24-105 I am sure I would have come up with a reason the other lens would have been a better choice. I don't think you can go wrong with either. Pick one, don't look back, and keep that tripod secure!!!!
@@pnwbikepacking thanks Chris. This has me thinking more about the 24-105. I would like to learn how to do night exposures better and the f4 might be a limiting factor there. Will give it some more thought. Appreciate your insight as always.
Yes, Sir. So totally awesome. Great video, fun to watch. Glad I found your channel, just subbed.
Thank you for watching. Really appreciate your support!
This was super excellent David. Well done! I screamed a little when the camera started to fall though. Nightmare fuel
Thank you! That was an opportunity to cope with disappointment in the right way.. gotta remember that you can't account for everything that could possibly go wrong.
Another great video David . Thank you❤
Thank you for watching Scott. Means a lot to me that you like my videos.
Six seconds in and already - wow.
Thanks for watching Chris, really appreciate your support.
“A little scared” I envy your honesty. A lot of people think bike packing out there in the middle of nowhere surrounded by predators is easy 😊
It's more fun when things are a little scary!
@@dlambbikepacking 😂 true
Great a David Lamb video! Looks like a great loop. How can I ping you to get some advice? Have a buddy in Prescott.. might see if I can start/end there

Oh hell yeah! Half an hour of awesome bike hiking! Amazing! Also the tent looks SO much smaller than expected 😂. 19:20 ish i think, wowee im sure glad u showed me how suspension works on the flattest path of the journey! Can really see how it works there 😂
Thanks for watching Lazar, the tent is small but it's worth it to keep the bike light. Having front suspension on this route is a must.
@@dlambbikepacking gotta believe you, also i got a question, how do you get those drone shots while ur riding the bike?
Great video and you were so positive, especially in the face of adverse conditions! Im doing the Munda Biddi trail (1067km off road in bush) in Western Australia in a couple of weeks time. I'm sure the conditions won't be as bad for me as they were for you, though it could be hot. Excellent effort!!
@@john7465 thanks for watching John and good luck! Send me photos
Beautiful😍
great little film mate. x
Would you attempt this on a gravel bike with 2.25” tires?
@@socaljoe yes that would honestly be ideal
@@dlambbikepacking Thank You! Also thank you for the film and the effort it takes to make.
@@socaljoe thank you for watching!
Mate hats off to you. Camping in highlands in a toy tent, not experienced midges, cycling on pop tarts! already some great footage and I’m not ten mins in yet.
@@billybigbollox thanks for watching Billy! It was a hell of an experience and I can’t wait for the next one
Welcome to the UK David! This is a beautiful video and one of the routes I hope to ride (from Inverness to Edinburgh at least). Thanks!
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words. If you can, don’t miss out on the flow country out of thurso!
@dlambbikepacking maybe one day. I've got a route planned connecting a bunch of outdoor brand shops called Alpkit that I buy gear from. They have places up and down the UK I've planned a route between (1100 miles!!).
@@sing_cycle_referee send photos!
Bloody awesome David. This is the best bike packing film I've ever seen. The story telling and filming are fantastic. I live in Northern England and do most of my bike packing in Scotland. Love Scotland. I need to do this route now 😊.
@@paulgilpin3963 wow Paul! Thank you so much. I appreciate you watching. I really hope you get to do the ride in it’s entirety someday. It is truly unforgettable.
Looks like a lot of wind. Hope it was a great ride.
@@anneliesevoelker2502 it was only super windy on that morning. It was a fantastic ride overall!
@@dlambbikepacking that's great!
Mate, first congratulations not only on a lifetime bikepacking adventure, but also on a phenomenal video, truly well done. Do you have the precise route you could share?
@@roguerader thank you for watching! Means a lot to me. I did this route: bikepacking.com/routes/socal-desert-ramble/
Oh…my…gosh Dave, this was an amazing adventure to go on with you if only through your eyes!! Your editing and choice of music is spot on. Thanks for sharing with us😌
@@DebiDowns-h9c thanks so much for watching Debi. I chose music for this video that I associate with so many good memories on my bike, so it was extra special for me.
