Excellent video, thanks! I rode half of the GDMBR (touring slow) down to Steamboat. Hopefully I'll finish the next half summer of 2023. It took me 40 days to reach Steamboat at 68 years old, much respect to all cyclists that make it all the way. It is a tough route mentally and physically. No two days are the same, each day a challenge in its own way.
Outstanding job brother, music and video, just grand. I'm 58 still in good shape fromm work and most important cycling, I figure maybe I need an adventure like this, my luck it would likely be alone. Proceed sir...
I rode the Great Divide from end of August till the beginning of October and it was a dream. Thanks for this video, the work and taking me back there... salut!
Great editing; great music background. What an epic trip to make when you're in your middle years. Wish I'd done more of that (now 70) when I was there. Impressive that you did the whole trip on rigid bicycles. You even went through Pie Town, NM. I knew a rancher there some 20-30 years ago. Cheers.
At 81 it would take me twice as long. Partly because I have learned after a lifetime outside to savor every inch of the journey. Hard to find guys my age who are alive and able to bike.
Yes, nature for me is what it is about, with friends and sharing experiences. :) Riding for the sake of riding, for this senior, is in the past. Tks for sharing.
Thank You! My plan is to start in Banff also. I may complete in 2 rides but then again the start is at 64 years old. I may just finish in 1! Awesome music choices.
Great video! I rode Canmore to Pie Town, then over to El Paso and into Ciudad Juarez August-October 2021. Lots of familiar scenes - Llama Lady’s ranch, Goldie’s place in Abiquiu, Toaster House in Pie Town…. Every day was hard, but every day was good. I tell people it was 75% physical and 75% mental. Definitely a lot of Type II fun! And a great feeling to pack the bike into the car at the end of the trip. What’s next?
Great Video. Actually the GDMBR starts in Jasper, the Tour Divide starts in Banff. You can start the GDMBR in Banff, but it's technically not the start of the full route.
Your wife is a blessing to you, and she is an inspiration. She should be an inspiration to other women who have a good husband like you, and who would want him to go off, and do some thing so profound to travel from Canada to Mexico. She truly is one of the few women that sees value and you doing this. So I’m thinking her role I want you to do this because we good to see an extraordinary video that was really quite moving. And if you don’t mind me asking, where is it that you folks live? I don’t mean exactly I mean to have such a question, but I’m just curious.
Great summary. I'm debating between doing this on a Diverge (like your bike) or a hardtail mtb, like a RM Growler. Thoughts on how that Diverge treated you?
Did you guys experience leg cramps, and if so how did you cope them, ie magnesium electrolytes, we are the bomb and it never happened? Any Advice greatly appreciated. Ps I'm 6'7" any suggestions on bike for this adventure? My roadbike is a Rivendell 68 cm 80s design style, but modern steel lugged frame.
Hey Jake, I’m 6’6” and rode a specialized diverge 64. Pushed it on the tire clearance but made it work with 700x45’s. Food was always the challenge (weight/calories) but keeping emergency tailwind and gu products helped. The northern hot days required more electrolytes. Hope you can get out there!
Fantastic video, music complemented it beautifully ! Congrats finishing this epic route. What Profile Design model are those aerobars? I couldn`t find a bar with a matching upsweep on their site 😅
Hey Elisa! They are a pretty old set of aerobars so I don’t think they make them anymore. Definitely recommend the risers you can purchase on Amazon that fit most any aerobar to get them up higher
sweet video! I'm planning on doing it this summer on a gravel bike. Do you mind sharing what size tires y'all were running? and around what time of the year you started riding? Thanks! Happy trails (:
How do you get permission to use that music in your video? I loved your choices, but I can never seem to use commercial music in my videos. They always get blocked.
Definitely not a trail to ride a non-suspension recumbent trike.. LOL. My dream is to see a parallel paved path, so that the rider can choose a smooth riding paved path, or jump off and fight the trenches, deep potholes and 18% climbs of an expert mountain bike rider.. I want equal access as a disabled rider, and a side path would provide that.
And I wouldn't know where to start... NM USA.. don't even know who I would let take care of the pup, maybe an ex as she is a hound person. Dang that would be a change to just go to for a good while.

Really well done video in every way. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Excellent soundtrack.
One of the best bikepacking videos ever. Great choice of music as well. I loved it.
Extraordinary perfectly placed music at the proper time in the documentary
Really nice vlog of the GDMBR. Minor correction: At 9:47 that’s Boreas Pass out of Breckenridge, not Indiana Pass.
Great video! And great music. Thanks. 👍🏻🙏🏼
Great video, one of the best GDMBR vlogs I’ve seen. Thank you for posting it.
Awesome. Thank you. One of the best I’ve seen and I have seen plenty. A really fun watch.

Great video with some awesome music!
Love it! Glad I got to be a part of your adventure
Excellent video. I like the daily map summary. This is on my to do list.
This is a perfect "taste of" kind of video. the highlights, some other things, data route maps, and pieces of your experience. thank you for sharing
Great video, thanks Ravi, did exact same awesome ride including reroute after Pie town…what memories…I finished a AW on 08/25 and crossed into Mexico

I'm 72 going 73, watching this makes me want to do this or something like this. Don't let the age stopping you my friend.
At 81 it would take me twice as long. Partly because I have learned after a lifetime outside to savor every inch of the journey. Hard to find guys my age who are alive and able to bike.
I love watching these videos right before I do a long extended bike ride.. reminds me of why I'm doing it
Really enjoyed your vlogging style.
Some very cool music and the landscape speaks for itself.
Awesome man. And congratulations on finishing grad school!!!
Awesome adventure! That ride is on my bucket list! Thanks for taking the time to share it with us! Cheers!
Superb! So enjoyed watching last night 🙂🙂🙏🙏 I hope to do something similar (shorter). Thanks for putting this together.
Excellent ride and movie. Congrats!
Love that you shot this on your iPhone. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video, Ravi! What a trip! You are a beast!
It's amazing that Laclan Morton did this in 12.5 days.
I've seen a lot of GDMBR vids. This was a good one. Thanks.
Excellent video. I love how you captured so much wildlife along the way.
Yes, nature for me is what it is about, with friends and sharing experiences. :) Riding for the sake of riding, for this senior, is in the past. Tks for sharing.
Awesome video. Your video inspires me to do it. Hopefully soon.
Awesome, classy video! Thank you!

Arounds in...usa.....beautiful....country.,..greatest,.vedio..musical.,
Bravo 👏👏👊🏻👊🏻👍🏼👍🏼
Could you tell me where the water pipe was located at 25.40 secs? Thank you in advance.
Great summary. I'm debating between doing this on a Diverge (like your bike) or a hardtail mtb, like a RM Growler. Thoughts on how that Diverge treated you?
Can you tell me what time of year this was?

@@ravialmeter2364 okay, get that. Will look into these, thanks for the reply👍
厉害！！！

45's!
sweet video! I'm planning on doing it this summer on a gravel bike. Do you mind sharing what size tires y'all were running? and around what time of the year you started riding? Thanks! Happy trails (:

Hi beautiful video. Question- how did you follow the route? On your GPS or phone? Where did you download the route from? Thanks!
How do you get permission to use that music in your video? I loved your choices, but I can never seem to use commercial music in my videos. They always get blocked.
In the past I have searched online for the most current way to accept the copyright settings on TH-cam! Best of luck

Lining up a song about West Virginia while showing a western state is pure laziness.
awesome video Ravi ) This Kristinas cousin if you didnt recognize. 😅
