Hi Anna, thanks for your amazing video! I am planning to cycle down the lost coast together with my partner and I am not finding much information. Do you remember what was your itinerary?
Oh great! We loved it, definitely worth doing! We camped the night before at Humboldt county fairground, then got pie for breakfast in Ferndale and then headed up a very steep, bumpy road to start the journey! We followed the coast road, then went past Petrolia - there's one state campground that we spent the night at, and then the following night ended up camping at the state campground in the Avenue of the giants. Does that help?
@@AdventureBikeTouring Thanks Anna, super helpful! If the campgrounds will reopen we will definitely follow your route. If not we might opt to ride north along the 101. Thanks!
Wow, at about minute 4:00 I just noticed how large and full your *FOUR* panniers were! About how many pounds of gear, food, and water added to the weight of your bike alone in your panniers and any add'l bags?
Oof yeah! Right at the beginning of a year long tour, carrying a lot of gear! If I went back in time, I would carry less. On the other hand, I was a total beast! Getting up all those hills with all that weight 🤣. When I weighed the bike and gear at the airport, it was about 32kg, but that's without food or water. And I was carrying quite a bit of both!
@@AdventureBikeTouring That's awesome. I've seen others with fully loaded panniers and handlebar bags and cringed at how difficult so much gear and weight can make your ride - gasp! Hope your rides are more enjoyable, too, with the lighter weight. :-)
Hail storm! Great to see you guys doing well. Lost coast looks epic!
Best vid so far! Looks amazing. X
