    MUSIC: Being asked which Queensryche albums I like. My "I love Queensryche" is only based on Operation Mindcrime - a concept album - each song is a story. Each song is the next chapter of the story. You must listen in order. I also love Empire with Silent Lucidity being a favorite song. I have never listened to any other albums.

    Wow, it's like you're superhuman! I'm breathing hard just watching. Yes you do have an aura, even in video. That "wheee", that's what motorcycle riding is like. I have a solution for keeping my crotch cool and dry while cycling. Instead of bike shorts, I now use hiking shorts. Short and loose, there's direct air over the bits. Makes all the difference in the world. Huge kudos on such an intense epic ride, and to playing hard after working hard. Blessings!

      Hahaha...your first line...😂 😆 !! Hmmm...makes me want to try it. Maybe I need a trike. 😂 I tried the bike shorts - great idea by the way - but I needed more padding for the amount of weight I was pedaling especially on dirt. Wishing you a 2023 year filled with wheeee's!!

      Yeah you're a couple magnitudes more hardcore than I am, I aim to ride daily for exercise. 15 minutes typically, maybe 30 on occasion. Like high intensity interval training. Up and down hilly curvy trails in the woods. I tried the padded shorts once but they felt so uncomfortable to me that they have sat in drawer since. That was when I would wear the snug fitting thin lycra bike shorts. I discovered the comfort of loose leg shorts rather serendipitously by being lazy and not changing out of jeans cutoffs for a ride one hot day. And that's what I ride in most of the time now. I'll enjoy riding in synthetic hiking/running/athletic type shorts as well. Short, loose leg, linerless types. If they're open to the breeze then I'm gonna stay comfy, cool, and dry. I'm also riding with rear suspension so between that and the short time I'm on the bike each time, I just don't need the protection afforded by padding, myself.
      The experienced rider you are, you would love the motorcycle. It doesn't take long to find your wheeee factor. A trike gets you in the breeze but lacks the wheeee factor that only balancing on two wheels provokes. You could do some really cool trips on a motorcycle with your knowledge and ability.
      Thank you kindly Naomi and may you enjoy many thrilling wheeees in this new year!

    I'm glad you went through Idaho City. That climb sucks but you would have had a very bad time on the Banks to Lowman highway in traffic, not to mention Horseshoe Bend Hill. Heck even pedaling back from Avimor to Hill Road on 55 is no fun at all.
    The Gold Mine was a great choice.

    Totally inspired by you, Ms. Naomi! Not sure bikepacking is for me, but I was about to cancel out of a 40-mile round-trip paved flat rail trail ride today in Florida because temps will be only in 40s 🥶. Ate my breakfast, watched this 2nd-to-last in the series, and told myself, "bundle up, buttercup! We're goin' for a ride!"

    That was some hellacious climbing you did. Your videos got me all worked up, in more ways than one, so I did a 1400 mile bicycle tour of my own. I am back in Fort Lauderdale. Nothing to do, and thinking of cycling to Key West and back. Your mountain roads seem to have minimal traffic and maximal quiet. Very different from cross country roads shot through with illegal noise requiring good ear [lugs to protect hearing. Roads in Washington were filthed with pollution and riddled with criminal noise. Biking back roads like you do makes more sense. You lived in West Palm Beach. I was born and raised in Stuart,

    The ways we get ourselves up long climbs... (Stuff they never include in the welcome to cycling brochure). 267 sounds like the nightmare road-climbing 'fun' your way; i avoid said slog back to Reno at all costs(!). Long asphalt grades with fake downhills and forest Forever (when tired or trying to fight the grinding boredom) aren't fun.
