Nice video I live west of Troy but ride everywhere you showed, trails and urban doesn't matter summer winter

There's an annual 10k race in Chicago. The winner gets one bottle of Mallort and the person who comes on dead last gets two.

Nice edit. Love the scene there. We're fat rollin' through the winter here in Chelsea, Quebec.

2:51 Cool, another person that goes "YYYEEEAAANNGGGUUMMMM!" when they pass someone :P

I work in Albany and ride there a lot. I haven't ridden in Troy much. Where is that bridge at the end ? Thanks for the video !

Hi

You guys are living right. I like it.

Awesome 🎉🎉🎉

That climb-up trail from Dolly road is always a beast! 👹 Nice to see someone else using Corridor 11 to connect Patch Rd. with Broad Cove. I thought I was the only psychopath on a bike that used that trail. 👍

Ironic band (name) to choose for the birthday ride!💀...in more ways than💩one. 👍HBD MTB Ben! P.S. The ridiculous railings on that bridge are wholly unnecessary. I've been saying it for years.

That was AwEsOmE 💕

Considering an overnight. Did you do out and back? Trying to plan logistically and not sure where to leave the car for this one

can you just camp anywhere along this trail?

Nice video. There are not that many featuring the Airline State Park Trail. Can one camp anywhere along it, or just in specific spots? Was yourrs marked as a camping area?

How did you pack your bike for the airplane? Box or case? What did you do with the box/case while you were riding?

I start planning about a year ahead. I then panic pack a day before and end up taking far too much.

Just found your channel, awesome, love it.... 😎

Thanks Maggie and Ben for sharing about Coast to Coast! Hope to see you next year! - Mark, Coast to Coast Gravel Grinder

When backpacking I carry a pocket jet for cooking. Everything packs into the canister. Thank you for sharing. Ride On!

The Hautes Fagnes/ Hoge Venen are indeed beautiful

Thanks for sharing! I always appreciate seeing how others are making their trip work for them! One thing I would like to see more about is the traveling with the bike logistics. Did you use a box? How did you get it to the airport? Did you put your bike together in the airport in Europe or cart the box to your hotel!? I would love to hear more about that as well!

Wait man. Do you bike in NH?

Europe is very bike friendly with paths everywhere and vehicles always respetful of cyclists. Very easy to follow the Euro Velo routes (or just go your own way) and stay in hostels and attended campsites. A few years ago i cycletoured from Toulouse around coastal France, visiting all the Normandy beacheads and the Somme battlefields (accidentally stumbled onto Richtofens initial burial place) into Belgium and ended in Amsterdam, NL. Memorable and highly recommended.

Great video! good job on describing your journey. Looks like a fun route

👍🚴

Nice job to him.

Haha so cool….. started following you yesterday and second video I watch I see you did the Hunnebedden route which comes within 750m of my house….. nice! 👍🏻

Right on! Looks so fantastic.

Great video! I’m in the midst of planning my first international bikepacking trip right now myself. So, great discussions. And you’re right: When you know you know! 😉 Regarding your Sawyer squeeze filter, I offer for your consideration this way to use it (I think he’s totally nailed it): th-cam.com/video/6wJfUGC-6es/w-d-xo.html

I want to go do this route! Can a gravel bike handle all the single track?

Thank you really appreciate you taking the time to do this video.

Great load out! Excellent advice. I hope to do more of the bikepacking trips myself. New follower here. Crow✌️

Does your camera have wide 16.9 setting

The biggest problem people have when packing gear is cause by the sweet roll bag they just to narrow .. best to switch it out with sea to summit large event bag .. that way you can get all your complete sleep system in one bag including tent sleeping bag and air pad and base camp clothes .. and pillow and light .. and even change Of clothes for next day ride.. then use the front fork bags for clothes summer winter etc .. then use frame bag for water bladder and tools ..water the most heaviest thing we carry . Then rear bag food .top tube bags one for clothes you may need during ride other for camera gear etc ..first aid kit visible on the top of the seat post bag

Cool just subbed

I thought a nuke was gonna crash into him

Sweet campingspot indeed.

Sounds like an awesome trip . I went skiing in France a few years ago and on the way visited Vichy Ridge and lochnager mine crater which was an eye opener. I went in February and it was sleet and freezing at the time 😅. But being at the crater gave me a good appreciation of the undulating hill landscapes which must made good defensive obstacles. I reckon you can make an awesome bike ride cycling to interesting places

I started carrying a racquet ball for the same purpose you mention the massage ball. Also doubles as something to toss around for entertainment, if I could find a flat surface to bounce against. Sub'd to see the journey and beer biking!

Would enjoy seeing a gear list

lets gooo :) wish you the best of weather

My family and I are in Spain right now- wish I had brought my Surly.

many thanks for the in depth video. does the sweet roll stay securely in place when you remove the luggage from it? im using a jones loop and trying to figure out how to properly attach my stuff on it.

Well done!

Nice

Great views! Brave solo adventure.

Hope u found your way back

Just placed my order for a warakin ti today, super stoked 🎉

MTBBEN603, Thanks for this great video. Can you tell me if there is/was any toe overlap with the Warakin? On my current bike, my toes hit the front tire when pedalling and making tight turns.

dude awesome!! Gonna have to check this trail out soon
