"this trips are not about setting personal records its more about just enjoying" love that
Very nice video? I really enjoyed it and it felt almost as being there on the road, you documented it very well very real and a lot of great details un your filming. I look forward for more of your trips. Cheers. 😊😊👌👌
Thanks for making this video. We’re planning this route for the late spring as well. I wasn’t sure I would last the whole 43 minutes, but it went by so fast! Very entertaining and informative. Even if you’re not posting, I hope you’re still out there riding :)
Givethanks Bro .....I enjoyed the Trip also...Great one.
Enjoyed his report from start to finish. A really informative over-view of the terrain, places seen and discovered, plus a recap of the day's ride each day. Screen shows distance and time often throughput each day. Often little extra bits of interesting and useful info. Thrown in too. Nice, smooth video delivered with a relaxed and thoughtful commentary during the entire video. Thanks for putting this video out to us!
Next time, start in Pendleton and ride south thru Ukiah, John Day, Burns, French Glen….to Denio. That’ll give you a taste of Oregons Outback. (East of this route is “true Outback of America”!!)
Very enjoyable vid. Watched it while doing Wahoo trainer workout. You're funny, making fun of yourself though you're clearly a solid rider.
I enjoyed that, alot! Thank you!
Nice video, so people can actually see what to expect.
I did the Oregon Outback last year on a Fatbike, carrying a lot of food and up to 10l (22 pounds) of water. That was a lot of fun and a smooth ride on those fat tires.
The fridge in Ashwood had just two Dr. Pepper left but that was enough to get me up that following long steep uphill.
The headwind at the end before getting down to the Washington border was insane!
What an introspective and fun bikepacking trip. I’ve always yearned to do these kind of trips and this is one I’ll add to my list for the future.
Nice video! And I appreciate all the information. Thank you for sharing your journey.
This was great! Super informative and real, thanks so much for putting it together and sharing it.
Very nicely done! I’ve watched a number of bikepacking and bike touring videos and I appreciate your conversational style and honesty along the way. It felt like going on a ride with a friend. I’m old enough to remember that Antelope, Oregon was very often in the national and international news in the mid-80’s as there was a city that was built out of a ranch there and was populated by something like 10,000 people. It was essentially a commune of young people from all over who were devoted to a popular guru from India. Long story short is that the leadership was corrupt and really threatened the locals and aroused fear and suspicion all over the state. They took over the town of Antelope and were attempting to do the same for the county. For elections they brought in homeless people from all over the country to vote for their candidates. The enterprise finally fell apart when there were federal indictments and infighting in the group. The city is now a church camp and Antelope returned to the locals.
I saw the Netflix documentary on that story. Fascination.
I'm in Seaside. Next time you plan a trip, hit me up. I just did my first overnighter during Thanksgiving in Colorado. Best nights sleep in years.
Good video looks like a good trip as well. I'm thinking of bikepacking summer of 22.
Awesome video and great looking area. I live on the Oregon/Idaho border in Idaho. Thanks for sharing.
This was really good man. You put it on my bucket list. Thks
Great job of filming this ride, well done!
Man, I found this video report is quite interesting. I enjoyed this video from the beginning to the final shot. It's great that you had a good weather all the tour, except wind. Thanks for made it shared for everyone. Next time save more water for such extreme legs that you had. Hope to see more adventures on this channel.
Hello, my new friend.
Wow, that's a great and healing 💝💜❤ bike riding video.
It's an honor to be your great channel friend 💖💕🌷
Have a lucky 🌺💙💜 day
👍👍👍🤙👌
Great video, I know putting something like this together is a ton of time. Thanks for sharing your experience.
One thing I highly recommend carrying A sawyer water filter, they are light and can handle that ugly water.
Thanks.
I drank the water that you refused to drink. Your video has me laughing thinking about it because I felt the same way! My Sawyer filter kept me safe.
great video! The outback solo is the way to go!
Great video! Enjoyed the play by play as it showed us the real world of bike packing. Plan to bike pack soon. Thank you for the awesome video.
Great Ride! Drove by Klamath Falls a month ago. Surely a place I must go back and explore.
That museum in Ft. Rock is really neat. It's comprised of homestead houses and buildings/businesses from around Oregon and you can go into all of them and learn about the folks that used to live in them. Thanks for posting your ride!
Nice job. Didn't know Oregon had a trail like that. Thank you for the video
Tip: water purification tablets - cheap and effective. Steripen (UV light) is another tool.
me and a few friends are doing this trail next month as our first multiple bike trip, this video really gives us an idea what to expect
Nicely produced video. We're adding this route to our adventures. Thanks!
Nicely done bikepacking video. We all start at somewhere. I'm bikepacking in Florida. Great 👌👍
Fun to watch. You should do another bike adventure video.
Nice !
Very cool Brian! You are really inspiring me to get out on my bike!
Solid video. Very well done !
Thanks for the adventure. 😎
Great trip and what a great experience! Thanks for sharing.
Really enjoyed thanks for sharing!
Nice video hope to do this trip myself
I am really excited to do this trip later this year. Looks like I should bring some spare batteries to recharge my navigator for sure. Doesn't look like there's a lot of chances to plug stuff in.
Fantastic 🙂
Thanks for the great trip video. I just started bikepacking this year thanks to motivation from my friend Ryan Van Duzer, too. I’m from Northern California and north Tahoe and my rides have all been short two-dayers - 30 to 50 miles - with one night at camp. Still getting the feel for my bike, my gear, and repacking my bike each morning. Hope to see you on a trail soon.
I am planning on bikepacking this year for the first time in my life (44 years old) and hoping to do just like you, 2 day trips, one night out and back. I will start locally and then go from there.
Great trip, great video work, and great attitude! Well done!
Great video! Congratulations on completing your first bikepacking trip!
Thanks for the video. In three days I'm riding from Bend to Mount Shasta (for summit climb) and doing about 100 miles of the OC&E trail. This is great Beta for my ride. I was really hoping the water was on at Fort Rock. Great to see that you added that to your video.
Consider Trask River Trail or very interesting routes through Oregon coastal range I ride here
really inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
Bicycles are a great local transportation option. Cities need to do more to encourage people to ride bicycles safely. Safe, protected bike lanes and trails are needed to encourage more older adults and children to ride bicycles or scooters. Ebikes are bringing many older adults back to cycling. Healthy exercise, fossil fuels free transportation and great for social distancing. Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly.
Really enjoyed watching your journey! Congrats on your first bike packing trip.
Wonderful! Thanks for putting it up. I head out in two days for the outback!
Brian! This is great, I hope you do many more videos! Cheers
Thanks for taking us with you on your journey. Great video. Would love to do this route.
Loved it! Informative, introspective, lots of interesting footage. Hope you make more!
Thanks for putting this together and posting. Great video. I like the periodic stats graphics.
Really nice video. 👍🏿🚴🏿♂️😁
Thanks for sharing. I'd like to get into bike packing. Still trying to decide on what the best bike is. I just did a couple morning of riding on some trails with a friends bike. Wow, so much different than my road bike. I have a new appreciation for the work that it takes. I think bike packing would be awesome.
Awesome! It was a "GoodyFinder" because I'm looking at doing this route next spring and your choices on what to capture/share was truly helpful! Not many share the stats which I think is helpful if you're actually planning to do the trip. Cheers!
Try a Hard tail with a shock seat post??? Lighter faster more space with the frame pack.
I enjoy every bit of it and glad that I'm the 6th subscriber~ Happy !
Wow, 70 lbs is too much. My kit is 22lbs before water and food, and that still feels like a lot on long climbs.
nice
I really wanted to give you water!
Excellent video! This ride looks so challenging and fun. You think a gravel bike with 2.1' tires could do it?
Hi GoodyFinder. I loved your video - well done!!! What time of year did you do this? Also, how much water do you recommend carrying? I will be doing this ride in September 2022. I can't wait!
It was great to follow along on your journey. What day did you start? I started 5/31/21, and was following Lael Wilcox's and Jan Heine's (wide and slick) tire tracks the whole way. It was really hot, and I didn't bring enough water capacity. 🥵
Awesome experience. You were fortunate to have ridden this before the bootleg fire ravaged the first day of this ride. Brian, can you tell us how much water carrying capacity you had on this trip? And since you ran out, how much would you take if you did it again?
Hi Cody, I had a 64 oz Klean Kanteen and 24 oz water bottle. In retrospect, just having one more 24 oz water bottle would have been enough for me specially that one day where I ran out. Having said that, I don't drink that much in general so maybe 2 x 64 oz. with 1 water bottle for easy access would be more comfortable/safe for people. Also the week that I went was not too hot.
Great video. Can you please describe how you got back to Klamath Falls?
After finish, I rode to Wishram (~17 miles), camped one night there and took Amtrak to Portland in the morning. The ride to Wishram was not good with little or no shoulders going up I-97 with lots of cars. More importantly, the Amtrak train to Portland does NOT take bikes. I didn't know this when I booked ticket and I had to beg and beg to let me get on with bike in the morning. Once I got to Portland, I took another Amtrak to Klamath Falls. That train does take bikes as long as you have reservation for bike which is very limited. I would not recommend what I did. It was the most stress part of the whole trip for me.
Great video! What are the pads on your helmet straps?
They are helmet cat-ear to reduce wind noise. Started wearing them recently and I think they do cut the wind noise quite a bit during ride.
Sorry to ask but how tall are you? I have a Salsa fargo with 29 “ wheel which are for taller people.And I have a rather short 5’6” frame and Iam debating if I should switch to 27.5 wheels.
I'm 6 feet tall and getting shorter by the year :)
Good video! Did you not bring a water filter?
Oh you do have a mini filter! Just commenting as I watch!
The biggest concern with a filter is agricultural runoff. They can filter the bacteria and viruses from the nastiest bog, but can't do anything about ag chemicals.
@@MartyMcFlyPDX great point. Thanks. I hadn’t thought of all the Agricultural chemicals and run off.
Yes, I had a 34 oz Katadyn water filter. Life saver :)
I'd like to do this trip with you.
Do you like Garmin better than wahoo roam ???
Hi Tony, I've only used Garmin so can't say but Wahoo seem very popular.
@@goodyfinder8881
Nice video, thank you for your reply.
BTW are you from Oregon?
@@tonycastro6805 I'm from Northern California but spent some time in the past for other bike events in Oregon.
@@goodyfinder8881 Me too, Have you heard about the Tahoe Twirl?
@@tonycastro6805 Yes. Friend of mine is doing that soon. Looks like a great ride. Hope to try it some day.
So...This course is not accessible for Recumbent Trikes.. single track trails / entry ways discriminates against anyone who cannot ride a traditional bicycle.. Another waste of time for the Recumbent Trike riders..
You’re talking to much! Time to get riding
