  • Perfect weather accompanied me into The Badlands National Park but only to turn on me into the night and the following day. Saw the most wildlife yet with plenty of prairie dogs, bighorn sheep, and bison. I made two van lifer friends while coming to my rescue in two different occasions. Heavy winds tested me but luckily enough, a turn on the road helped me out and I powered thru. Subscribe to see what other kinds of crazy adventure I get myself into as I travel with my touring bicycle for 4,000 miles and thru 14 states before reaching the West Coast during these 11 weeks of summer.

    Been going back and watching old episodes because I enjoy these videos so much. I agree about stopping around every turn in the Badlands. Took me 6 hours to drive though with my car. Thanks again for your great videos. Was great binge watching. Sucks being caught up and waiting for Sunday 😂

      That's really cool to hear. Thank you for your comment. Yeah the Badlands blew my mind. So amazing. I wish I could edit faster but it takes a long time and its truly a struggle to keep up with an episode each week routine 😩 but I'm on it. Tomorrows is a good one. Lots of snow.

    My family did a cross country journey when I was a kid in the early 1960's from Maryland to Seattle. We went through the Badlands and Yellowstone National Park. I vaguely remember it. I was so young. I was only about 5 years old. It's amazing what you can remember from your childhood though.

      That's so true. I remember the craziest stuff from when I was a kid and guarantee you I would have remembered the Badlands and YS NP for sure. So special.

      Hi Stacy. Thanks for your comment. Glad you appreciate my humor, or insanity??? Either way, hope you stick around. Im living my dream and its non stop ridiculousness. Hopefully it inspires some people to go "out there".

      @@FlyscoutRyder love the humor and the adventure. A long distance bikepacking trip is making its way to my bucket list. I need to start with an overnighter and go from there. I would love to see some videos on your gear load out and how you selected the route you did. Be safe man. Awesome and inspiring.

      Hi George. Thank you for checking out the channel and reaching out. The Badlands are really special. Sort of surreal. On my second crossing this last year I rode across the souther portion of them into Nebraska and it was spectacular scenery as well. That episode should come out around May of this year. All the best

      Jimmy and Anna came thru for me with open hearts during these 24 hrs in The Badlands. Crazy how when you let yourself be in vulnerable situations, people tend to step up and show insane kindness. A testament to humanity

    I can't believe you have so many flats. Do you use tire liners?

    • @FlyscoutRyder
      @FlyscoutRyder  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I do now but not then. I've learned to fill about 4 to 6 ounces of sealant into my tubes. Never have flats since and keep great tire pressure.

    Love all the videos, the positivity, the scenery looks like you are having a blast. I play your videos on the big screen in my office and jump on my stat bike and ride along with you (too cold to ride in Toronto right now). Looking forward to your next videos enjoy the rest of the adventure.

    • @FlyscoutRyder
      @FlyscoutRyder  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      West is great but as long as I am riding in one direction its all fun. The west has mountains though and once you start climbing elevation its tough to not look for it. There are plenty of mountains on our East. North Carolina is insane fun with shorter climbs but way steep and the downhills are unreal fast

      This episode is of my first season, Cycling USA. It was August 2020. Take a look at my about page in my channel and it will explain the way I've organized the episodes. First season is 32 episodes from 2020 crossing of the USA. Second season is Cycling USA 2 and its of this year's crossing and its currently uploading weekly. Should be about 60 episodes in total.
