For all of you map lovers out there, I've made a website that allows you to explore the entire route so far! The link is in the top of the description and I'll update it as each video goes up. Thanks and I really hope you enjoy the video!
@@stephenmarotti5309 I use a plugin called 'Geolayers 3' in adobe after effects. Its expensive and has a steep learning curve, but its as good as it gets when it comes to creating maps for videos! I was very fortunate that one of our supporters on here offered to pay for it to help with the videos
I had a big smile on my face when Victoria called out "catterpillar" - I remember when she just learned the english word in one of the early episodes. Feels like I know you for ages!
I just stumbled across your channel a couple of weeks ago. Bravo, your storytelling and video skills are superb! When you were near Las Vegas, you cycled through my backyard and probably passed within a mile of my house. I can't believe you two road Rocky Gap Road from Pahrump into Red Rock Canyon NCA. Wow, that took courage, but as I can see, courage seems to be yours and Victoria's greatest asset. Best of luck as your adventure continues.
Thanks Fred! Rocky Gap road was tough for sure, but so so beautiful! So glad we came through that way. You live in a beautiful place! Thanks for watching
I used to drive an 18 wheeler truck through here every week from Canada and always wanted to ride it on my bicycle, thanks for the window into the journey.
I always look forward to your videos and it's like Christmas when they come up each time. Genuinely my favourite thing I'm watching right now - TH-cam or anywhere else. I'm in awe of you both.
Vegas local here. Can NOT BELIEVE you guys took Rocky Gap road into red rock! That road is no joke! Gorgeous views though. The diversity of bio zones in the Vegas area is truly spectacular! Glad you got to see some of it!
I'm Dutch, living in Canada. Visited Las Vegas by car and truck a couple of times. Never would have imagined that such gorgeous gorges are hidden so close by. Stunning ! Thank you Greg and Victoria for 'bringing' us there.
@@sachadee.6104 the nature and hiking is why I moved here from out east! I had always assumed Vegas was a flat desert wasteland, but boy was I wrong. Glad you got to enjoy some!
Your journey is inspiring! Good job on everything and keep going! Watching these videos feels like taking a big fresh breath of air. Love from Romania!
Greg and Victoria, you two have led me to dip my toes into bikepacking too! In fact, I'm currently embarking on my very first trip! My friend and I are in the Ardennes, North of the Alps! Y'all make me so happy and I've loved every second of every episode you've put out. You're such an inspiration to me! Keep up the amazing work! I genuinely hope I can one day go on an adventure like y'all are doing!
I would love to do this on a full suspension electric bike with an experienced guide and stay in a nice hotel/motel/airbnb. I am also 77 I need my comfort. So I live through your videos and do what I can. You folks rock and what a wonderful girl, she is so tough and funny. I agree you sure deserve more subs.
Thank you for sharing another fine video. You both are living an extraordinary adventure. Enjoy every moment. Glad to hear that REI did right by you. I worked for them for many years, the best experience.
I really enjoyed this episode. I've ridden a few of these roads, even though I live in Alaska. You're hearty and show so many parts of what it means to bicycle tour. Indeed heat exhaustion is nothing to treat lightly. Best wishes on the rest of the trip.
We're so loving your videos. We were delighted to see you pedal through our "backyard"--aka, Death Valley. Only a few months before you went through, I pedaled much of the route you took and had lunch next to the abandoned mine where you found that fantastic camp in the old tank. That was a brilliant find! To get to Shoshone, I took the new-to-me route of climbing up towards Dante's View and dropping into Shoshone on the other side--highly recommended. Of course, you're already well on your way south. Really looking forward to more of your adventures. Ride on, and keep the rubber side down.
Thats so cool! I'd love to live around there one day to properly explore everything, such a fascinating and beautiful place - Ah yes that route was one of the options we were looking at, but in the end decided that we couldn't pass through death valley without spending time in badwater, next time! And thank you so much, glad you've been enjoying them!
I am vicariously following your journey, thank you for your videos. They are endearing, sometimes raw, most of the time cheerful and funny. Happy journey from a former bikepacker 🚴♀ As they say, may the wind always on your back.
What an amazing adventure are you guys on! So fun and inspiring to follow along trough these videos. It's the perfect amount of talking, silliness and beautiful landscapes. Good luck out there!
An awesome episode! Really loved watching this one! (I watched the previous version -- not sure what's new in this one, but I already thought it was great, and appreciated seeing the map multiple times in the episode!)
Both of you epitomize the spirit of adventure, of love, of gratitude. It's nice to see that in the world. I too ride bicycles and wil be doing a very long ride next year. I will be visiting some of the places you have shown us in your videos. Be well and thank you.
the positive energy, outlook and perseverance is refreshing- most young people could not go without WIFI, let alone tough out the endurance, physical and mental stamina it takes to complete a journey of this magnitude. Bravo
Hi from mike A from LA.CA. YOU guys are fantastic. Your videos are incredibly fantastic. With the scenery the camping the struggles in traveling.And the food that you show. Its so crazy how much water you guys can carry. Thanks guys. Ill definitely be watching .
Just found your channel today and binge watched your videos...really brilliant filmmaking. You two are a great pair and a testament to the power of attitude. I too made the leap from long distance backpacking to bikepacking...love them both.
The time watching this just flew by. You are wonderful story tellers. So glad that you took care during elevation and heat. Just love watching you both.
Omg I love this series I am so proud of you both. Also the caterpillar part felt like a symbol of how far you've come and how you are growing together because of the caterpillar in the beginning of the series... Good luck to you both
Every aspect of your videos is stunningly beautiful. You are beautiful, your writing is beautiful, your cinematography, editing, everything. Thank you.
I look forward to every video you post, it's such a treat to follow along with your incredible journey! I've been watching since episode one and enjoyed every minute of it. Tell Victoria she is an inspiration and I aspire to be that cool someday!! I hope the summer has been easy on you so far, and I am excited for the next update (:
What great and inspiring videos. Your travels look absolutely amazing and extremely challenging and your down to earth youtube videos are so much fun to watch. I am cheering on the both of you all the way from Kenai, Alaska.
As ALWAYS, stunning video. Editing, music, everything amazing! Also, I didn't notice how much your channel had blown up! the last video got almost 150k views! happy to have been here since the very beginning ;) Also, unlike many adventure youtube channels, you aren't just using regular roads on direct routes to get to your final goal, you are going on some of the toughest trails out there!
Great scenery! Fine dust exacerbates zipper failures. To reduce dust abrading the zippers, rub a dry bar of soap across the zipper teeth. It acts like a lubricant. But since it's dry, it does not accumulate dust/dirt.
What a journey!! That landscape is huge and the watertower camp was a lucky find with all that annoying wind. Furnace Creek looks like a nice stopoff as well. I can't image carrying 15 litres of water, hat off to you both, that's some weight to push up them hills! All the best from sunny UK ;-)
Hello Greg and Victoria. Once again thank you for sharing these days with us, and those shots (views) I mean WOW!!! Thank you once again, and i'm seeing that overall you guys are ok, keep it up. Cheering for you to be well and keep it up. Hugs and kisses from Ecatepec, edo.mex.
it's such a beautiful video, it's amazing to see how much gratitude you 2 have along the way, and make it so happy to see your happy moments, but also the struggles in between. Keep it up beautiful souls, lots of strength to keep you on this mood and incredible adventure
I've been to Las Vagas a few times but I have to admit I went by air which happened to be a lot easier than bikeriding it there. We drove out to the Hoover dam. That's quite the site to see, I hope you had a chance to see it. Another great episode, thank you Greg and Victoria.
I'm always smiling through each episode!! Thank you for sharing this with us. It is always a special thing when a new episode comes out. Keep up the incredible journey!!
I was in Death Valley at Bad Water one day before you were there! Too bad our path didn’t cross. I would’ve had sugary beverages for you for sure. We were in Vegas that night you slept in the water tank. It was freezing cold even in Vegas and the wind was crazy too. Well done. I’ve enjoyed following your journey.
Hey, guys. Your channel is the best of a kind on TH-cam. You make a great team. Really wish you to get to the final point of your destination without any issues. Ride safe.
I don't know why this popped up on my you tube, but I'm glad it has😊Ive subbed to you and Victoria, now I can come along on the adventure too I wish you the very best of luck and may all winds be tail winds. 😎
What a remarkable journey!!! I was just out in Death Valley this winter. I couldn't imagine carrying 60 lbs of water. Prumph is popular with nomads like myself. I love the series.
Incredible..... I live next door to Yosemite, and I enjoy driving into Nevada, and across Death Valley, just for the hell of it. The first video I caught of you was when you dropped down into Washington state and I've seen all the subsequent videos in the last few hours. It has been fun to watch you travel through areas that I love, BUT taking routes I knew nothing about. You've given me inspiration to investigate new roads, and to tune up my mountain bike and take it with me next time. Thank you.... you are amazing, and Victoria is even more amazing. As the saying goes, "It ain't easy"..... hope to follow you more.
For all of you map lovers out there, I've made a website that allows you to explore the entire route so far! The link is in the top of the description and I'll update it as each video goes up. Thanks and I really hope you enjoy the video!
Little details like this make the series all the more special. Appreciate it!
What map site or program do you use in the video that animates the line along to show where you are going?

You all deserve so many more followers.
It's coming. Snowball effect. Lets go! ❤
So do I haha only takes a few viral vids 🎉
Was happy to see a new episode already! Wow, 17% gradient, even walking a bike up that is super-tough! You definitely earned all those sodas!
Cheers Steve! Glad you like it, the 17% was brutal on that soft sand!

Water tank camping! What a creative solution. And the video of blowing tumbleweeds with your sponsor's logo is perfect.

These are my favorite TH-cam videos. Thanks for the update!
Easily my favourite videos on TH-cam - amazing storytelling and beautifully shot. Thank you!

that sounds dreamy! I would love that too. Maybe that will be my new business venture after all this is over 😅 Thank you for watching!
Absolutely love your videos. Cheers to you both. And nice job on the maps.
And as Victoria said, "what more do you need? Nothing."😊
Thank you!
Your (and Victoria's) videos are my favorite ones on TH-cam, I love watching your journey. Godspeed!
Thank you so much!
Just fantastic. Thanks so much for chronicling your journey.
Thank you for sharing another fine video. You both are living an extraordinary adventure. Enjoy every moment. Glad to hear that REI did right by you. I worked for them for many years, the best experience.
Thank you! REI is one of my favourite places on earth haha, whenever we are near one we always end up spending hours pining over every little thing

Thank you for the kind words, and all the best for your own trip - you'll have a blast!

Love following along with your adventures. Truly enjoyable.
That old water tank was a true blessing. Very motion picture storyline quality turn of event. Nice find!
I really appreciate the shots where you drive past/away from the camera, as i know you had to get back to pick it up. But you still did it, for us!
Great episode! One of my favorite so far! Must have been real tuff out there in the heat. Take care and thank you guys for sharing ❤
thank you!

Wow, what a beautiful video. The landscapes are great but you also capture your personalities and the feel of life on the road.
Best video series on bike travel since Ed’s unicycle adventure ❤️
It's inspiring to watch the videos of you two
Your videos are my favourite part of the Internet right now
most excellent! great episode rolling thru DV. i go there several times a year to enjoy that scenery...by 4x4. Much respect for doing it on bikes!
This is hands down my favourite TH-cam channel
Love you guys and the way you tell the story of your journey, I wish you the best of times. Much love and good luck on your adventures from Germany!
Oh yes I didnt tell you how much the music is just so fantastic in your videos as well.

We did! rode over the hoover dam on our way out of Vegas, very impressive piece of engineering! Thanks Robert, glad you liked it!

A big hug to you both, here in Brazil.
I have been watching since the beginning, can't wait to see central and south america with you.:)) Good luck on the road!

Such a lovely couple of people. ❤❤❤ the videos
Congratulations for the year on the road! I follow Victoria's channel too. I wish you both the best on this journey. Greetings from Argentina!

Beautifully made as always

What a remarkable journey!!! I was just out in Death Valley this winter. I couldn't imagine carrying 60 lbs of water. Prumph is popular with nomads like myself. I love the series.
I ❤❤ the sound tracks so much...great
Voy a esperar pacientemente el siguiente video, lo están haciendo muy bien, siempre avanzando y sonriendo ante todo. Los banco chicos!!
Beautiful View 😇
