I hope this film has inspired you to get out there and explore our beautiful planet. Have a great day, everyone! 🌎
Ali, you’ve helped me discover bikepacking and inspired me to give it a go, someday I hope to pass the torch and inspire others! Thank You! 🚲 ✌️
As soon as I get out of debt I’m going!
Definitely in the future, but until then these videos are a great taste (and from the comfort of my home), Thanks!
Absolutely. Greetings from Italy. 👋
Talking to my brother about starting to train for this ride.
In the times of the super short format, tiktok, reels, tweets... you release a 54 minutes video. And I enjoyed every bit of it. Thanks!
Great music, appreciate the extra effort in the production. Was great to meet Laura!
I send you hugs from Spain.
Yup. It's nice to watch long stretches of video and pause from time to time and continue again. You'll know there's something good to watch when you come back.
Love Baja! So glad that you two got to experience the magic, and Laura's bike is THE BEST! :) Happy Trails
Trying to convince myself to splurge and buy a 600x. Only road biking now but really want to give bikepacking a try.
@@GenghisKhanrad yes I think Ive seen all of his videos. Thanks
The gearbox + belt drives are amazing! It is what I like the most about my Priority 600. Ryan is a big reason I purchased one. I would have gone with the 600x but did not want to wait 6 months for the bike (supply chain delays).
In my humble opinion , this is the best video you have published, so far….very well edited, commented, and with great music as background….snorkelling with whale sharks is amazing, all the wild life you have encountered in the desert environment was great of you to record it and share it. Look forward to seeing more of your inspired cinematography…..
Awesome. Your pick of Laura is far more brilliant than any bike or component you have ever researched. All the best.
Well, she's got a priority bike with a pinion gearbox, so the pick comes with a billiant bike too :D
I wonder did he make as thorough research as he did on frame materials?

Reminds me of Iohan's bikepacking videos, describing scenic shots with poetic beauty. 🐕
12:35 take your camp stove and cup. Put a little water in the cup and heat it for just long enough to use as an iron. Critical problem solving goes a long way on bikepacking trips. Great video, great commentary!
I swore I wasn't going to get stuck into an hour video but the mix of trail footage, and practical info kept me tuned in to the end. Also enjoyed the couple aspect with the new girlfriend. Thanks for the effort to produce this.
Really appreciate all the work put into this, and that the action shot of a bird pooping made the cut at 11:30
ditto! I watched it a few times at 0.25x speed.
4 years off the bike and finally I feel inspired again. Your video production skills are incredible. Thank you.
I'm an overeducated 83 y,o, LA resident who has been "virtual bike packing" about 2 years. What you did was beyond me 50 years ago. Your videos are inspiring.
Alee, it was great to run into you and Laura on your Baja Divide trip just north of Ejido Erendira. I was the guy running out of water and trying to find a lost pannier bag. Thanks again for the water. Great to see the video of your full trip.
I couldn't help but notice Laura's bike, the Priority 600X. I love mine. Would you do an in depth video of accessories and upgrades you did to it and your impression of how it performed on this ride? Pros and cons, things you would do differently in regards to the 600X? This looks like a ride to die for. Tenacious tape and others like it from Gorilla and others......would these be a better option for air mattress repair? Overall, this video presentation was in the least, stunning, breathtaking! For now, living it vicariously, it is on my bucket list. Will definitely be watching again. Thanks for sharing!
Im trying to convince myself to bite the bullet and get a 600x. Never been bike packing but want to try. Im tired of the road cycling .
Wish I could see and try a 600x for 5 mins just to get the feel. You wouldn't happen to be in AZ would you?
@@michaelp1109 Not in AZ, sorry.
One of the best bike tour videos I've seen. Young lady you are a trooper, it's apparent you two love what your doing.
Inspired?.... I'm 67 years old and I'm thinking 2024....by Ebike!... good job on this production.
She looks like a very experienced rider.
Closed cell matts are all I use now on trip. They last me forever.
One of the best cycling videos of the year. Awesome landscapes and cinematography. Also the music is nice. Bravo from Greece guys...

One of the best Baja videos on TH-cam!! Thank you for sharing your experience.
Fantastic video, we really enjoyed it. Glad you took a relaxed approach to the ride and enjoyed some extra activities. The whales coming up to the boat were quite the sight.
Glad to see you sharing a ride with a lady! Especially an epic and inspiring one such as this. Cheers!
What an incredible adventure, you did such a wonderful job of capturing it! Glad to see my name in the Patreon credits for the first time, hope it helps!
Thanks again for your support. I honestly couldn't justify putting this much work into a film but you made this project possible!
It took me 20 minutes of watching before i even realized Laura has the same bike i do. Nice trip! I hope to do Baja one day myself.
How do you like your 600x? Im trying to convince myself to get one. I have a road bike but looking to try BikePacking.
Wish there was a way to see and try one for 5 mins.
You don't live in AZ do you?
@@michaelp1109 it was hard to spend that much without a test ride but I'm glad I did. An amazing bike and it rides well.
I have been living off my bicycle now for about 3 years or so. Your videos have helped me enjoy a better bike. But I would like to thank you, because your videos always remind me what a blessed privilege I am experiencing. Thank you & many more safe adventures.
I agree with everything that's been said, this video deserves 100x more views, the editing, the storytelling, music everything is so well made. Really makes me want to quit my job and just go on that kind of rides for a few months...
Thanks Patrick! Very kind words.
The best video on Baja Divide bikepacking! Very inspiring! Thank you for all the tips! 🚴♂
What a wonderful adventure. I was mesmerised from start to finish and 54 minutes went by in a flash.
I love all the detail you give about the practical aspects of this cycle tour wrapped up in great video storytelling . Loved watching this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
It’s on my bucket list….thank you for this informative and beautiful creation
I'm sitting on a sunny Sunday morning having breakfast accompanied by my dog. The world is beginning to waken where I am. Watching this video was a joyful experience. Congratulations. 🙂
Your best yet! Thank you for making this and the encouragement to get out and try this.
I am lost for words. Stunning trip, stunning landscape. I really do have the urge to cycle the Baja, I really do after watching this very informative video, thanks for taking me on your journey, so to speak.
Beautiful! I’m currently on tour and feeling down because I got sick here in Colombia but this movie cheered me up! Thank you Alee and Laura!
I’ve seen this a few times now. One of the best adventure bike videos out there. Thank you for being awesome!
Thanks for the video. Your video is the first time I've heard about the Divide. You did a wonderful job of documenting your ride and editing the video. Again, thanks for all of our hard work.
Awesome film! Informative with jaw dropping shots and perfectly chosen music. I enjoyed it a lot 👌🏼
Welcome to Baja!!
Baja es amazing 🌵
Well done Laura!
What a wonderful place!
Fantastic trip. That's another ride on my bucket list. Thanks for taking the time to film and edit this to bring it into our lives. JP
Okay, this is next-level content. Nice one team.
Great Video! The whale tour looks amazing!
I loved watching this video. Too many videos about long distance rides focus on superhuman endurance, on 'conquering' natural terrain. or can seem fraught with risks. Laura and Alee just projected enjoyment (all bar that five k of roadside landfill). The three days of riding and fourth day off scheduling was just made so such sense, it was candid and de-mystifying. Well done to both, and I am sure all your viewers will wish you many similarly happy trips together, as I do.
What an adventure. Nice to have a good riding partner. The video was edited very well. Great job. You two take care, Al
Mr Denham , you are an inspiration ! I am rooting for you, as always .
It's incredible how much the landscape changes along your journey all the way from Patagonia. And what strikes me is how different it is from what I'm used to here in Europe.
Just great! This is on our list. Thank you for this marvelous video. Thumbs up to Laura!
Really incredible footage in this film… Beautifully shot and edited…. Thanks for sharing your trip along the Baja Divide.
Great botany disquisition, no?
Awesome and stunning movie.
What a great job, thanks a lot 👍
Fantastic video. This woman is amazing to bicycle the challenging Baja bicycle trail with this Kiwi; I think that a steady infusion of Haka gives New Zealanders their super strength and endurance. Epic scenery, great camping, challenging bicycle terrain.
Hey, I'm an Australian! 😅
what a superb film.
Not only beautiful, but very practical--thank you. And I loved your demonstration of the PSI for sandy conditions. Super helpful.
Alee, your best piece yet, Thankyou
Excellent video, Alee and Laura! Looks like a phenomenal trip, and glad to see the Pinion gearbox did really well! For patching camping pads, I place a 1/2" permanent glue dot over the leak after fully drying it and reinflating the pad, and then place a 2x2" duct tape patch over the glue dot. This has worked well for me with most camping pads, and is easy and lightweight to carry while traveling. A couple feet of duct tape wraps nicely around the Sawyer Squeeze filter so you don't have to bring a whole roll, and the glue dots are sold as a roll in craft stores. Cheers!
I am mega inspired by this.
I am glad I watched this film great production!
Beautifully filmed with a great soundtrack! My favorite video of yours! Fifty three minutes of joy ❤
Beautiful vistas & happy trails. Thx
Great, now I have another bucket list item.... :D
Very, very well documentated!
You have a serious gift for crafting videos. Just wow. Also i've seen a landfill like that somewhere in northern peru, just incredible. Good on ya mate
Gold info here. Thank you so much.
Simply amazing documentary. Wow double wow. 😍🙏
Thanks for a great watch. Thinking of avoiding the Winter here in Ireland and Mexico is on the list. Really enjoyed that and your little tips throughout are helpful, especially for me the bit at the end about the most sandy parts. Looked like a great adventure, with a wonderful mix and landscapes and them deep blues at times :O. all the best :)
Magnificent!
Totally Freakin Spectacularly Awesome Inspiring! WOW
I believe I can do this. Thanx for the great Inspiring report.🙂
Will definitely give this a watch later tonight. Baja is on my bucket list!
Great video, thank you. Panniers rule!
What a great video to stick on the telly and enjoy with a cup of coffee.
That's how you know you love cycling: when at Cape Loop to relax, you decide to rent bikes to go biking more. Not all addictions are negative!
Wow - wonderful!!
Great video! How about showing more of the cultural activities such as where you stayed in towns and grocery shopping or any restaurants that you visited? These are some of the more memorable experiences I have had during touring.
A great velo video. Quite the adventure. Interesting to see other cyclists on the route. Excellent photography. Cheers from Melbourne, Oz.
Отличный фильм. Мне понравилось, что ты и о недостатках снаряжения рассказал. Молодцы. Отличный поход.
amazing footage ....heaven
I really enjoyed that! Nicely done!!👍
WOW GUYS, As an Aussie based in the Philippines and an avid biker - that was the BEST bike trek video on the Baha Divide I've ever seen. How awesome ❤️. So much great tips and advice for us much less experienced bikers. I truely envy you both. Meaning Salamat (Tagalog) / Thank you. Cheers Jon from the Philippines
Thanks Jon!
Awesome video! Amazing journey! I'm looking forward to seeing some more bike touring from you two!
Just got my new Priority 600X belt drive & cant' wait to "get out there". Just like Laura's! Thanks for the inspiration & your videos.
Rohloff?
@@interceptor7905 Priority 600X, just like Laura's. LOL. Showed up last weekend, love the bike.
@@jpalmer1967 Ok,thanx.I would like to get mtb with belt drive but they are not cheap bruh
I mean this as a compliment and respect for both you and Iohan Gueorguiev; but your video here and narration, and the scenery reminds me of his videos. I have seen most of yours and most all of his - some maybe 3 times - and you're doing a great job here. Best wishes and keep 'em coming. Regards
What a great experience it must have been, thank you for an exceptionally well made and inspiringly entertaining video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
A beautiful filmed, well edited and perfectly narrated adventure! So glad to see this kind of video artwork from you again. Missed it a bit. Thank you for sharing with us!
I always find something useful in your videos be it a tip or heads up on what to expect. Items used on such dry land was a bonus (especially the Evernew bag for sawyer - i hate the sawyer bladder lol)
most of all... the vibe of your videos made me jump on the decision to start touring domestically in Malaysia since 2020. Now with few friends tagging along my journeys. Inspirational as always! kudos
In my opinion this is your best video yet. It worked great having the two of you together taking video, and the chemistry was excellent. Glad to see that you found a good drone, it really enhanced the connection. Also pleased with your choice of music. So many people play bizarre heavy metal or just strange incongruous music in their videos, your selections really set the right pace and mood. Of course, the route is spectacular! Well done!
Your videos are motivating me to once again go explore on my bike with panniers. Thanks
Ha timely! Just about to commence a 3 day rail trail ride in Bright Victoria Australia. Good inspiration for me!
Have fun!
This is going to be my favorite video of the year!
I've followed along on your Instagram posts and I enjoyed watching this great adventure. Laura seems to have a great attitude and is a wonderful outgoing adventure partner. Using your water filter was a bit odd though. Hahaha! Another well done adventure. Thanks for sharing your time with us ✌
This was fantastic Alee! Congrats!!
Awesome video! Awesome trip!
Wow, thank you for sharing! Much love x
Awesome been waiting for this inspiring and great landscape :D
What a trip !! I lived in La Paz BCS MX...I have done Baja many times in 4x4 with sufboards and climbing gear..quite an acheivement on loaded Mtn. Bikes..Salud !!
Very nice video! Thanks for showing us this incredible scenery!
It’s a masterpiece! Love it! Good luck to you both.
Thanks for all of that wonderful info and sharing your adventure with us!
Nice divide, very nice video! Greetings from Ukraine!
Absolutely stunning!
This was an amazing experience and superb work alee, thanks!
Beautiful video and extremely informative. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for taking us along in your journey/video....ride safe always
