Grand master Ryan Francesconi crafts routes into a masterpiece of artistic and sensory journey experience.
"I wanna improve knowledge, not take away from it."
Wise words from Ryan Francesconi. Something the modern day era needs to practice.
This guy is creating the Beethoven’s 5th Symphony of routes while I’m over here sending myself down one way roads in the city.
😭😂🤣
On the east coast, I'm driving 2+ hours to do a dope gravel ride through mountains. I RELY on Google maps imagery to make sure there is double track gravel. (my preferred gravgrav) if I can't see through the tree canopy with satellite it's a no go. Awesome video as always my dude
Edit: his closing remarks 😱 What a cool guy
The highlight of my TH-cam week. Thanks again D
LIFE GOALZ!
I feel so calm having listened to Ryan talk for a few minutes. So chill, and with no mid ride tooth brushing.
Your nicest video so far. And I have a degree in applied geography
I bet you would build some epic routes!
Great analogy 9:40 “bikes are like instruments, they’re not tools so much, they’re something that you play.” So true, and in flow they begin to disappear into the dance between human and environment. Such a thoughtful approach to crafting experiences to share with people.
So articulate!
Spoken by an incredible musician and composer.
Thanks for doing this! A lot of us in the PNW benefit greatly by his effort. A sincerely nice guy as well.
Couldn’t agree more.
BIG LIKE to the poetry of route building. It’s very similar to how I feel as well, with the remark that uncertain trails here in Eastern Europe are best to include in the route based on satellite imagery. RWGPS can most of the time actually snap the route to points on the satellite base layer, especially if you are on “walking”. I’ve done this several times recently and never really failed.
Gotta love the ridewithGPS route planning sessions. Basic membership is great value. Indispensable for planning distant adventures or keeping the stoke high in the hood. Pick a theme, aim for elegance, create a classic!
I'm just getting into some of the OMTM rides and your videos. Been meandering around SW Washington for a couple years making my own way. Happy to see so much knowledge and love for exploration around and available for all to use.
You’re lucky to have a guy like Ryan as a route master, and also to live in that beautiful part of the country....thanks for these videos, look forward to them every Thursday. 👊
I am appreciative of these things all the time!
Ryan is a true player
This video is probably my favorite bike content I’ve seen thus far thank you 💚
Now you are showing off!! You know the coolest dudes. You can feel his passion from the way he talks.
The parallel of route-building to time-based artforms...music and film especially, but also Japanese garden and gourmet food...is crafting an experiencing for people to enjoy. I literally got goosebumps on that realization! It's not just a means of traveling to a destination or through a place, it's creating an experience that can be complex and deeply exciting! I'm quietly freaking out a little! I sincerely wish and hope to get a chance to experience an OMTM ride someday, a "Francesconi original" hanging in the Hills of Oregon Art Gallery!
Well that was bout the best thing I’ve seen in awhile. Ima plan a Ramble Bamble ride now.
Love this episode.
This was waaaay deeper than I thought it would be, both on philosophical and topography levels! Great video and hilarious opening with the pre/post shave! :P
Absolutely fantasticational
Cheers!
this episode is so amazing. thank you!
Yessssss. Thanks for this vid. I’ve recently moved to another country and have been struggling with finding new routes. This dude is on another level. I want to go there. To this level. Far out
Thank you Ryan for being such an inspiration!
Ryan is my new hero!
Everybody Loves Earl.
Totally agree to Ryan. Planing is sometimes the most enjoyable part. Here in Europe I use Komoot for that topic and sometimes gpsies. About 2/3 of my rides are planned that way.
Outstanding. Keep it open!
This was super amazing and insightful! Love to hear someone's passion expressed so eloquently like that!
Two serious masterminds at work! Truly admire all of this phenomenal intel you have provided. Ryan's knowledge application is on another level. Such amazing content as always Player.
Awsome video! Loved the translation of the romantic, historic and adventure side of rout making. Have always enjoyed that side of planning a hike. Need to get in to bike rout making here in the uk countrysides. :)
AWESOME! Please come east, Ryan. We need you! Where is the trip you all are riding in the video? It's beautiful! I'd hop on a plane just to ride it! Keep on inspiring, DK!
Kudos for the Job Wouters book on the side table!
Wow what a GC!
He is so much on another level. Thanks for the inspiration !
We are lucky to have Ryan around!
This is some properly inspiring stuff, dude! We've been struggling to build gravel routes over here in the Tokyo area, but this has given us some ideas to try. Thanks so much to you and Ryan for those nuggets of wisdom!
Very curious to see what you come up with!
Very cool.. Thank you Dustin, so many good ideas.
What a creative vlog Dustin 😊.
VERY good video!! I'm kind've a map/gps junkie and I learned some things!
And continuing in my trend in playing a Francesconi album whenever he pops up here, tonight's gem is "Road to Palios".
Good timing on this upload; currently planning a 60ish mile road ride with coworkers for next month, as well as poking about some bikepacking ideas for summer.
PS: hi Ryan!
....friggin cool guy!
"If I was not me and I was someone else, what would I want this other me to offer to me? And that would be.... show me where the trail is."
Truer words have never been spoken.
Such a wonderful video! I feel the exact same thing about route-making, it’s my favorite part of cycling and feel like setting a climbing route in a gym
Thanks for that!
That was an absolutely superb video!!! Ryan is great to listen to and has such a great sharing philosophy that is often missing today.
Good question from Earl. Loved the video and I am switching my Ride with GPS settings to see what options open up in the Chicago area.
Very cool!
Earl is really developing nicely
Wow ! Wealth of Knowledge right there 👍
I really liked this one! Loved the section on ebb and flow comparing a ride to music/art. Love route building! Thanks for this one!
Thumbs up for Earl Scappoose
CAMO JUICE
Thanks, so nice to find out I'm not alone in route geekery. I'm in Scotland which is pretty good for maps (OS) but those USGS ones are a really nice starting point. Open is such a good thing - nice to hear Ryan supporting it. Cheers!
Man, I so want ride with you but I'm in the U.K. If you're ever over here they're loads of great places to ride. One day dude, one day. 👍
I'm moving to the UK this summer from the West Coast and this makes me so happy to hear
this video was amazing, learnt a lot from it !
YES! love to hear this!
Great video Dustin... love the vibe!!!!
thanks player
Very clever to use the walking mode to see smaller trails.
AWESOME!! do a little of this down here in Cali.
So many good roads out there!
"Bud Lite with Lime." Perfect choice for Earl! Possibly a Four Loko or Steel Reserve for partying out on a logging landing.
eyes opened, mind opened
Ryan is next level!
I get it... This is TJO prep 😉.
Great content, BTW. Thanks Mr. F. and you too Mr. K.
That was inspiring.
My 700x50's would love that stuff.
Good call!
Can't wait for the pallet video to see what palette you go with.
LMAO!!!
you forgot the bud-light with the lime for Earl! haha really enjoy this very informative video! Dustin, as learned new ways of finding routers, Thank you and Ryan for the knowledge shared!
Three cheers for Ryan!
Love the accent when you guys say “route”.
Dustin ma boy... love the video!!!
Thanks bud!
This video is sick. I absolutely love this content. Subbed. Telling all my friends.
Such a coincidence, I was just listening to Alela Diane's and Ryan's album Cold Moon upon stumbling onto this vid :-) I had seen him before in one of your vids (bingeing big time on them, awesome!) and wondered if it really was him, but when comparing him with the photo on the cover art, it has to be him! (the music home studio is a giveaway as well, haha)
Bud light lime...classic.
😜
perfect "content" jus' perf' .... Thank You for Your insightful work .... Best of the weekend to Ya.
Thats whats up!
very knowledgeable, and the way he describes route building as an art that you play with an instrument is beautiful and inspiring...what did you do to my frontal lobe!?
I contribute to OSM. I like komoot for route building
That was very useful, thank you, and anyone that has Dungeon and Dragon maps in their house instantly doubles their street cred with me, just say'in.
LOVE that you caught the D&D shot!
Most dope!!
The problem with using heat maps or even segments on Strava is that - when you're on a gravel/adventure bike - you can find yourself in serious mountain bike country all of the sudden. Happened to me a lot. You could hike-a-bike-it but as someone who's been in charge of gravel group rides and doing shit loads of recon work I've grown tired of hucking the bike on my shoulder and walking for like a kilometer in the forest :P
Great video, building routes is so much fun! And add your local path to open street map, people will thank you!
We need people like you!
Hey that was a great video
Great video 👍
Stoked you like it!
Would be curious about organization in RWGPS. The more routes I make and find, the more I realize that I need a good organization process.
You guys have just good terrain in Portland. It's nothing but out and backs in my corner of the PNW.
This is what I am interested in with cycling mostly right now, cool thnx!
Stoked to see what routes you build! Share them with us! We want to ride them. 😉
Will do, will do. Have jet to settle on the most suited platform for sharing my art. But the process of building/planning/mapping is so much fun!
I will check out MapMyRide. Thanks great video, as always.
I like that app too
don't do that. Check out Ride with GPS: ridewithgps.com/
@@oddshapedcase 2 questions
1. How do you access the historical maps? (USGS scans?)
2. Where/ how can I contribute to OSM? (Do I do it within ridewgps?)
We are building routes using ride with GPS here in Western North Carolina and love to learn little tips along the way.
@@michaelwyattthompson historical maps are easiest on Gaia. OSM contributions are a wiki based dedicated tool. Make an account and off you go.
oh snap, gravel ride to the Barrier Peaks inc. ROLL FOR INITIATIVE.
I always get nervous when I make a route but it looks like there's nothing there in satellite view. Maybe the road is hidden under the trees, might not be there though. I try to have a Plan B for when the road just ends.
how do you do it DK? take something dull like map reading and route planning and turn out a sweet entertaining and educational vid. got me thinking about collating my local routes for others to use. cheers
Ha that was funny as hell 1:25 ride from A to "sum B" sounds like something Earl would say
Really like this video. Just wondering if you have ever used onX Maps? It’s a hunting map app and has lots of cool map features like land ownership so you know where your att
why do I ride the same trails over and over ??? Inspired ->
also @Dustin Klein , if any possibility of some type of polo's or Oxfords in the future for the apparel? peace .
very informative! Thanks!! and didn't know you have a split personality!
Love the vids! I had a quick question RE: Cadence. I've been a supporter for years, but kind of fell off for a few recently. I'm back into cycling these days, and I'm wondering what the word is with the web store! Is Cadence returning?
Wheres the layer to find dispensaries?
Buena!
😂 great stuff, the cartography dude is a useful guy to know 👍
🤯
Reflective camouflage flag lol awesome vid!!!!
Earl is a nutter ;)
How about mountain fire roads I am in NorCal I’ve been plotting a crazy one up by kerkwood I’ve hiked most but it goes deep
Hi Dustin, I said it before and I'll say it again. Your channel is the best! And this video was super interesting. I wanted to buy a sticker pack from your website, but $25 for shipping to Belgium is a bit too much.. I bought stickers from the US recently and it was only around $1.30 for shipping.. in a simple paper envelope.. I don't care about fancy cardboard envelopes. Do you think we could work out something? :-)
Thanks. I know have an app to help me find gravel routes in rural Nebraska.
He said reality and I think he’s in the matrix. He is so smart. He’s blowing my freakin mind. He should zoom in on Ferguson as he’s commuting to his job.
LMAO!
He said going back in time. D do you have a flux capacitor you can throw on one of those gravels you have? How about that Aven-ton one?
