      I finished the trip a month ago! I’ve been done since April 1st. Just finishing up the last two videos, I’ve moved cities and started a new job, so busy times. New video will be out soon!

    Nice drone footage. I can’t believe that worked in those winds and altitude. You should have slept in that place where your party dropped u off.

      @@Nick.Pelletier Ah! Very good. I have the same one but was considering upgrading to the Highline Stretch Shell. Nice to see the Stormline on peaks way higher than I have around me!
      You are a beast riding that bike all over the place. Much respect.

    Do you plan on climbing the third highest peaks in the other continents?(Kanchenjunga,Mount Pissis,Mount Shkhara,Mawenezi Peak,Trikora Peak/Mount Twynam, & Mount Shinn) or just Orizaba?

    • @Nick.Pelletier
      @Nick.Pelletier  ปีที่แล้ว

      I climbed Pico de Orizaba because it was on my cycling route, but it made me want to get more into mountaineering for sure. Hopefully some similar projects in the future!

    is guided mandatory?

      Don’t believe so, you’d just have to get all the permits and stuff on your own

    Hey Nick 👋 I watched all of your Trans America 🇺🇸 segments and just found your Mexico 🇲🇽 journey. It’s so kewl the places, things and people you discover when biking. 🚵‍♂️ For someone who had never biked before the TA journey I’d say you are really into it! I’m going to back up and watch your Mexican trip from the beginning. This segment just came up in my TH-cam list today and I’m glad it did. FYI you might want to check out Allee Dunham’s Cycling About channel. He did a whole South American trip alone. You can learn a lot about travel and equipment from him. I’m not sure what kind of bike you’re riding but for extended trips you can’t scrimp on gear. You might want to get some Scwalbe tires which are pretty bombproof. I have them on my Kona Sutra. If you’re going to keep riding, I’d suggest a Koga or Tout Terrain bike with Rohloff hubs and maintenance free belt drive. I’m saving for one for after my own Trans American trip. They are expensive but worth it in the long run. You’re pretty gutsy going through Mexico 🇲🇽 or any South American country alone. Be safe 🙏 and keep posting. 👍☮️🌞🌟🚵‍♂️🌲🌵🏔🏕🥾💟❤️

      Thanks for the support! I’ll check out the channel and see what I can learn from it, always something to be added or changed! I’ll keep the videos coming!
