Hey Brett, thanks. It was awesome riding and hanging out with you, good times! Excellent cannonball, LoL. We won't be at Huracan but will be doing Forgotten Florida again!
Really enjoyable video and what a great ride. The drone shots in particular were superb. I rode the Southern Tier to San Diego a few years back and spent quite a bit of time in St Augustine so it was great to see such a beautiful city again. I thought it couldn't get any better and then you added The Smiths to the soundtrack. You've made an old Brit very happy! Enjoy your cycling in fabulous Florida!
This video is so well done. The drone shots are gorgeous, the music is awesome, and you did such a great job documenting this excellent adventure. We enjoyed showing this video to our kids so they could get a sense for what their badass parents did. Thanks so much for capturing this memorable weekend!!
Jodi, thanks much appreciated. It was definitely a fun event and was awesome riding with you both again and hanging out. You're kids should definitely be impressed by what you both do.
Man what an adventure! That single track samurai knows how to plan an event. Looked like one heck of good time with a great group of people. I recently moved away to SC but head back to FL every so often. Maybe I can catch one of these awesome rides sometime. Great video and excellent editing as always.
Thanks, much appreciated. We have only done two of Karlos's group overnight events like this and both have been a blast. Defiantly worth timing a trip back to FL to do one of them. Happy Trails!
We were supposed to join the ride. But had to cancel at the last minute. Thank you for documenting what you did. But also very many applauses for such an incredible video. Everything is impressive, the editing, the cinematography, the use of the drone, everything. Seriously outstanding.
Nico, thank you for the super nice comment, much appreciated! Bummer you could not make it, next time. I've been waiting for the perfect video to use that Morissey song. Happy trails!
Hey Karl, gators are not really a concern when camping in FL, although I would never try and sleep or hangout right at the waters edge for long period’s of time. Bears are way more scary to me.
How do you like the choice of 2.8' tires, do they slow down a lot? Wouldn't 2.4' tires be a better compromise between road and off-road? Or is 2.8' are so comfortable that you don't mind the extra drag? ...Good weather for Florida is only available in winter )))
We actually have 3.0 tires. Our other bikepacking bikes have 2.6 tires which seem to be the perfect size for what we like and offer a good balance of cush versus speed. For what it's worth we rode about 1700 miles of the GDMBR on 3.0 tires then the last 1000 on 2.6 and our average speed was very close. Happy Trails
Thanks Pete, yeah it was a blast!! Fun route, good beer and the best part is the excellent group of people! We are signed up for the Forgotten Florida again next year, hope to see you there!
Thanks for well made video. Nice ride!
Thanks for a superb documentation of our ride. River2Sea is one of my favorites and so glad you joined us.
Hey Pete, much appreciated. So much fun riding with you and everyone else. Can defiantly see why this one is your favorite, happy trails!
Another gorgeous video. Thank you guys. Always a huge pleasure riding with you two!
See you at the Huracan!

I just started watching your videos as I'm just getting into bikepacking! Loving your videos! Thanks
Thanks, welcome to bikepacking and to all fun adventures you are going to have!

Paul thanks, been waiting to use that Smiths song for awhile! Yeah, St. Augustine is a very fun city. Congrats on your Southern Tier! Happy trails.

Not to mention Morissey!

Beautiful route. I need to check this out next year
Yes, defiantly do it next year it was a blast! Just be on the lookout as it sells out pretty fast.
Love your stuff, particularly the music you select. Karlos is great, yes, but you're a close second.
Thanks, really appreciate it. Happy Trails!
Question - are crocs/gators a concern/issue at campgrounds?
Looks like you both had a good time on an adventure ride.
Thanks for sharing, sir 👍
