I love that my house is in the background of the thumbnail for this one, way down there in the Carson Valley. Fantastic footage as usual Ryan. Thanks for these.
Aww this is heavenly. The Tahoe trail is so lovely, and coming after we’v All been shut in for so long is pure medicine. Dom makes a great riding buddy and his humour is a perfect foil for you.
Nice. I just did this loop about a week before you. I appreciate all the cuts and shots - those take time. And the drone-flying-while-biking is impressive. I found the ascent after fox and hound to be brutal - so much on and off and hike-a-bike. Nice to know it wasn’t just me! Ha!
Genuinely Ryan keep doing what your doing the quality of production just gets better and better love the positivity stunning scenery always helps but for real love your creations keep up the hard work we obviously don’t see 👏👏👏
When I saw the water I was hoping you guys were gonna surprise us with some telescoping fishing poles. Camping near the lake, catching some fish, and having some banging fish tacos for dinner. 😀
Awesome to see you out at Tahoe. That section of trail is so majestic. Felt like I was there again watching you guys ride. Last time I was riding my MTB there on that hike-a-bike section we ran into a bikepacker. Definitely a doozy of a section. Good job!
Oh yeah, another video!!! Not just a "rodent," but a Golden Mantle Ground Squirrel (GMGS) or a Chipmunk. Be aware, Bubonic Plague is endemic to the Sierra, so place your tent and/or bivuac away from burrows. How many are you going to eat? A CASE of dillos! "Don't fall to the left." Good advice, but it depends on how you interpret this. It's actually BETTER to have your wheel go off the trail on the downhill side. If this happens, you usually fall down on the trail. However, if you go off the trail to the uphill side, you are more likely to "high side" and really fly off the trail, which can be a far worse impact. So keep this in mind when traversing steep hillsides. The "tree" at 12:00 should be a Western Cedar. Beautiful. And I must admit I have ridden NONE of these trails, save for the Flume. No TRT to mention. Inexcusable. Unacceptable. Intolerable!!!
Awesome I just woke and see the new post best way to wake up with some coffee. Thanks for the video cant wait to see more and learn more as well Peace and love be with you
Ryan. I've cc skied up to Marlette Lake from Spooner Lake but have never seen it in the summer. Thanks for the great video shots. Beautiful views of the Carson Valley too! I think you and Dom are having too much fun.
Great video and happy to see the trails I ride and hike from your perspective. The stop for pizza and other food is one of my favorite places, post skiing. Star lake is so worth it. Looking forward to the next days ride.
Excellent as usual. Well done for giving bikepacking.com a big up fantastic resource that needs to be cultivated. Can't wait for more thanks again Ryan.
Wow, some of this is like I am standing live right in front of you, or riding the bike. I could almost smell the pine trees. The image quality is amazing, as is the scenery.
Ryan, how thoughtful of you to have videos from you drop for all of us to enjoy while you are out on another awesome adventure!!! Hope you are having a blast my friend!!
Only a good friend can call bs on your “moments”. Haha. Dom could be a stand-in for the actor Tim Roth. Looked like such a blast. Really really need a bike trip north to the mountains but as yet I can’t even get my license renewed. Sigh.
Oh man , what beautiful nature , l work wearing a mask all week and your videos are , well , litteraly , a breath of fresh air ! Thanks Ryan ! 🌲🍁🌾🌞⛰🚴♀️ a
loved spooner lake, the view of Lake Tahoe from the top was magnificent! great and challenging bike trail.... he he . a bit challenging wouldn't you say??? dang those rocks!!!!! watch those edges!!!! beautiful country side.... going to the top!!! great photo pic's!!!! Are those cedar trees? star lake is beautiful! great drone footage..... you're on top of it! where are all the tourista's? thank you Ryan and Dom. looking forward to some more!!!!
Bro these bike pack videos are my favorite type and I swear of all I've watched I believe the view from your lil crash might of just been perfect absolutely stunning trail ride bike life !!!!!!!!!!!!!! if this don't inspire you to get out and ride your sleeping
If the single track gets really tough, does it become hike-a-bike half track? Just a thought. And Dom is right, those line camps for cows or gold, are tough places. And infested with merino loving mini-bears. Love the story, hope all is going well on the GDMTBR.
OMG! You crashed and fell down! I thought that never happened to you because you're so amazing! Now I don't feel like a complete loser for falling off my bike. TY! (I know you probably just did it on purpose to make me feel better.) Don't do that on the side of a mountain please!
I love your videos but I would never survive one of your epic trips. I can dream though and watch your vids. Didnt you mention priority was going to introduce a gravel bike ? Looking forward to it. Thanks for sharing all your adventures
Great video as always. Big change going with the gopro. Love to know your thoughts on the gopro vs. The Sony. Keep inspiring people Thank you for what you do
Aaron Johnson may have had something to do with pioneering that route. His short films or documentaries on these trails the CTR and the AZT have motivated me for years.
I was in Tahoe last fall to visit my brother, and unfortunately drove around the lake in a car. It is PACKED with traffic! It looks like it would be far more enjoyable to do the bike and hike routs.
These views made my heart happy, and I hope they did the same for you.
I notice you are not a fan of tight riding clothing for bikes(me neither)
I love that my house is in the background of the thumbnail for this one, way down there in the Carson Valley. Fantastic footage as usual Ryan. Thanks for these.
Step 1: Watch a Ryan Van Duzer video. (check)
Step 2: Go out and ride your bike.
Brb...
Hey that's what I had scheduled for today! :-)
Yep, every time😄🚵♀️
TJ Ernst love it
Love it!! Hope you had a great ride
That last pic of the tent under the stars? HOLY SHIT!!! Good stuff!
Great to see an unexpected video from Ryan while he's on his current adventure. I wish him well.
I know! How does he do that?
Thanks! I scheduled this before I left...gotta keep you entertained while I’m on the road. Cheers
Ryan Van Duzer I kinda figured this much. You are good!
Thanks for putting this out while Dividing. I have tested the motorbike noises, and checks out, I get 30% more power, for sure.
Add a turbo noise for extra oomph!
Aww this is heavenly. The Tahoe trail is so lovely, and coming after we’v All been shut in for so long is pure medicine. Dom makes a great riding buddy and his humour is a perfect foil for you.
that lake is so worth of "bike-packing" :D
Some of those drops off to the right send literal shivers down my spine!
Nice. I just did this loop about a week before you. I appreciate all the cuts and shots - those take time. And the drone-flying-while-biking is impressive. I found the ascent after fox and hound to be brutal - so much on and off and hike-a-bike. Nice to know it wasn’t just me! Ha!
As a New Englandite who is totally and always surrounded by trees, this looks great to see for so far. Wonderful footage.
Genuinely Ryan keep doing what your doing the quality of production just gets better and better love the positivity stunning scenery always helps but for real love your creations keep up the hard work we obviously don’t see 👏👏👏
Namasthe...!!! Lord Ryan ..!!! You looks like Mr. President from the movie Air- Force one .😊👍👍👍 Love from india (Coorg)
When I saw the water I was hoping you guys were gonna surprise us with some telescoping fishing poles. Camping near the lake, catching some fish, and having some banging fish tacos for dinner. 😀
Happy to see Dom back

Now that was an amazing bit of trail. Great video Ryan.
The quality of these videos has gotten so much better. So much beauty! I love it. I miss traveling.
Wow, every Trail in Tahoe looks epic! And they all look new because I don't remember any of these twenty years ago.
Oh yeah, another video!!!

Beautiful trail. You are living the life. Thanks for being so pleasant and sharing your experiences.
Glad you enjoy it!
That last shot... that was a shot wasn’t it.. wow!
The ride to Star Lake is brutal! Great once you get there though. Awesome adventure and video, thanks!
Amazing scenery. Added to my bucket list!
I'm lucky enough that these are all my home trails. Cool seeing from the perspective of someone who's seeing it for the first time.
Great stuff, Ryan! I'll make sure Cass Gilbert gets your virtual high-five!
Oh nice!! Make sure you give him a slap on the ass too :)
The beginning reminded of that beautiful scene from Brokeback Mountain
Excellent as usual. Well done for giving bikepacking.com a big up fantastic resource that needs to be cultivated. Can't wait for more thanks again Ryan.
Oh, my gosh. Tahoe looks so beautiful. Didn't know it could get that hot.
Enjoying this trips videos a lot!
Wow, some of this is like I am standing live right in front of you, or riding the bike. I could almost smell the pine trees. The image quality is amazing, as is the scenery.
Another amazing video Ryan! Keep it up. Lovin' the editing style
Welcome to Tahoe...lived here for nearly 30 years....glad you could enjoy.
Looks awesome dudes! Just made my first 320km bikepacking trip and it was so good, thank you for all the inspiration!
Ryan, how thoughtful of you to have videos from you drop for all of us to enjoy while you are out on another awesome adventure!!! Hope you are having a blast my friend!!
I’m loving the divide, currently writing this from my tent!
What a trail! Pictures are awesome.
Great video, stunning scenery, great to see you've got a fellow Englishman along teaching you about porridge and small house living! made me laugh 😃
I love you crazy Englishmen!
Stunning countryside, great vid
Part 4 so cool, Ryan! At 8:31 shows the resort I was working at. Will be there this week. Your videos never disappoint. Keep it up!
Crystal clear video.
Fantastic stuff 😊.
Only a good friend can call bs on your “moments”. Haha. Dom could be a stand-in for the actor Tim Roth. Looked like such a blast. Really really need a bike trip north to the mountains but as yet I can’t even get my license renewed. Sigh.
Ryan so amazing! That last picture of the tent and sky Gods creation is so awesome!! Thx.

The action view in 10:38 - 10:48 is absolutely beautiful!!! You should use it as part of your intro.
Loved seeing the trails again. I did the Tahoe 200 race there back in 2017
Such beautiful mountains. Thanks!
loved spooner lake, the view of Lake Tahoe from the top was magnificent! great and challenging bike trail.... he he . a bit challenging wouldn't you say??? dang those rocks!!!!! watch those edges!!!! beautiful country side.... going to the top!!! great photo pic's!!!!

Thanks my man, that’s the goal! Hope you’re doing well
Great work Ryan!
I've lived in tahoe 36 years, I now use ebikes to rip around...try one, they are so much fun
Looks amazing there! True some of those sections are totally hike a bike when it’s 95 and your bike is loaded with camping gear and water!
It was way tougher than I expected
They did, they really did!
Loved, “Oatmeal is just undercooked porridge. Americans are in too much of a hurry.” - Dom, 2020
Keep being awesome!
Bro these bike pack videos are my favorite type and I swear of all I've watched I believe the view from your lil crash might of just been perfect absolutely stunning trail ride bike life !!!!!!!!!!!!!! if this don't inspire you to get out and ride your sleeping
you inspire me so much. Thank you!
Planning on doing this August 2021 cannot wait. Thank you for making this video!
You’re gonna love it!
I concur...oatmeal and porridge are different things. ;-) And the riding looks amazing too. PS: I worry about my fantastic American friends atm.
I love the thumbnail pic looks amazing! 👍🏻
What a great trip and video. I would love to do a one or two nighter sometime. Thanks for the motivation!!!
That was a good one Ryan.
Great scenery and filming. Dom seemed like a miserable bastard. Just perfect for this type of ride.
That's my neck of the woods but I still haven't been to Star Lake. Great video.
That was epic. Darn rodents! Take care and stay safe, Al
Awesome as always man I got out on my gravel bike today
I was expecting Dom to say "those aren't pillows!"
😆🤣

Epic footage.
Outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like them quesadillers too ! 😂
Im Super inspired to your channel and story. I do bike touring too bec of your video🙂
Ryan, the rodents love you! First, you taste good. Second, they just wanted to give you extra ventilation.
Good stuff brotein
I love your videos but I would never survive one of your epic trips. I can dream though and watch your vids. Didnt you mention priority was going to introduce a gravel bike ? Looking forward to it. Thanks for sharing all your adventures
Yes, very soon!!
You made it bro
Great video as always. Big change going with the gopro. Love to know your thoughts on the gopro vs. The Sony. Keep inspiring people
Thank you for what you do
Aaron Johnson may have had something to do with pioneering that route. His short films or documentaries on these trails the CTR and the AZT have motivated me for years.
How i wish to have bike like that.
Safe ride sir.
Philippines here..
sometime in my lifetime I would love to do this.
"Adventurous.." made me laugh.
He’s a funny guy
scrubby bushes most likely are manzanita, but I'm not a botanist.
OH Thank You...this was such a nice treat this morning....Makes me happy to see you back out riding with a friend...enjoy the Great divide
I was in Tahoe last fall to visit my brother, and unfortunately drove around the lake in a car. It is PACKED with traffic! It looks like it would be far more enjoyable to do the bike and hike routs.
