Hi everyone! Seems like this video has been picked up by the algorithm, so if you are new here, welcome! There are a lot of questions and as we’re riding right now I don’t have time to answer them all, but I’ll try and clear up a few of the more common ones here: *_Where is Victoria from?_* Mexico, specifically Chihuahua in the North of Mexico. *_How do you afford to do this?_* Travelling by bicycle is one of the cheapest ways to travel. Camping most nights, without any rent or bills to pay, the main expense is just food. Most cyclists on trips like this live on a budget of between 10-15 USD/day, which works out to around $300 - $500 per month of travel. I’ve even met someone doing it on $1 - $3/day ($30-$90/month!), if you are resourceful you can make it work very cheaply! I was saving up for a few years while working in London, with the soul focus of doing this trip. When I thought I had enough, I then quit my job, left everything behind and hit the road. I was fortunate not to have any serious commitments back home that I needed to stay for. I then met Victoria after 2 weeks on the bike, and a few months later we convinced each other to team up, find her a bike and fly up to Alaska, which is where this video begins. We continued mainly off my savings at first, but those quickly ran out after buying all the gear and supporting 2 people instead of just 1 (Vic didnt have the advantage of years of savings behind her). Thats when youtube picked up, and a bunch of generous people on here started to support us over on Patreon, and Tumbleweed (the company that made our bikes) stepped in to support us too! *_Why did you start so late?_* Heading up to Alaska was a VERY last minute decision, we literally decided to do this 2 weeks before we flew up there. The ideal time to start would have been a month or two earlier, but we didn't want to wait a whole year for the perfect timing. We thought that if we were speedy, we might just be able to make it in time to outrun winter. So we tried not to overthink it, flew to Alaska and got started! (Turned out we weren't very speedy) *_How will you plan to cross the Darien Gap?_* No solid plans yet, but we’ll most likely get a boat around. *_How many miles do you ride each day?_* It really depends on the terrain and how hilly it is. We like to take things easy and not stress about miles. Most days we ride somewhere between 25 - 40 miles (40-64km). Some days we struggle to even make it 15, and I think our longest was around 80. *_Are the bikes single speed?_* No, the rear wheel has an internal 14 speed hub called a ‘Rohloff’. They are not electric and are purely human powered, it just means that all the delicate parts are sealed away from the elements, making our day-to-day maintenance very minimal and drama-free. We just have to change the oil in the hub every 5000km and thats about it! It’s pretty dreamy, especially when things get muddy. Consider checking out Tumbleweeds website if you're interested! Link is in the description above *_How did you guys gain weight in the US?_* We were surprised by this too! haha. Turns out even if you are cycling most days, with a week off to edit videos here and there, you can pack on some decent calories if you are as talented at eating as we are. While the fast food in the US was fun, it’s a lot easier to find cheap, healthy (& delicious!) food here in Mexico and below, so we’re planning to eat a lot better from here on out. I hope that was helpful! I have a Q&A video on my channel that answers a few more questions if you are curious. Anyway, I hope you enjoy / enjoyed the video! Thank you for watching and for all the lovely comments. It is so nice to read them in the tent each night! (we are currently continuing on through Mexico and beyond, more videos coming very soon) - Greg
Not sure if you have gotten there already or not, but what is your plan to cross the Darien Gap? It is my understanding that there are no roads whatsoever, so not sure how you are going to push a fully loaded bicycle through there, but be safe and good luck! Awesome video!
Good documentary. If you need any knowledge from an experienced bike traveller, ask to Gürkan Genç. He is travelling around the world over 10 years and he is going to travel from Colombia to North America this year. Maybe your destinations cross over and meet by person.
Hi everyone! We had a few extra weeks before setting back off so I thought I’d edit everything from the trip so far into one jam-packed 36 minute film. It took far more work than I thought it would, but I’m so proud of the result. I hope you like it! I have a feeling that when we’re old and frail, this is one of the videos we’ll go back and watch to remember the good times. Back on the bikes tomorrow or the next day, wish us luck!
Brilliant !! Greg, don't forget to send me the route with a list of major town stops so I can get you some hotels where possible, Love you guys, Keith and Rene
Humanity is not dead!! It truly made me emotional to see so many folks step up to the plate and offer you guys their homes and hospitality. This was a beautiful video!
You know what you do with these videos? You take all that warmth and love you receive along the way and you spread it to thousands of viewers across the whole world. In these times where there's so much hatred, disagreement and divisions you make the world a slightly happier and better place. From the bottom of my heart - thank you for that. Wish you all the luck.
I totally agree. It is very touching all of the heartfelt kindness you received along the way. The world is still a good place to be in. One of the best cycling films i've watched for sure, thank you!
Glad the algorithm gods threw this one in my feed. GREAT video and what an awesome journey to follow along with. Love the hospitality shown along the way.
At 70 years of age….you have taken me back to my 30’s, and 6500 miles rambling in the lower 48. Such emotional memories of head wind, multi days of rain, heat, and cold. Thanks for awakening an old heart!❤❤❤
Everything about this film shines bright light on humanity. Youth, adventure, nature's beauty, love, generosity. It's a very spiritual film. Well photographed, narrated and soundtracked. It's an instant restoration of how humans can be in a terrible time when there is so much darkness and evil taking hold of this planet. Brightened up my day. It's people like you and those who helped you along your journey that restores my faith and gives us all hope for the future.
My brother did this bike ride 33 years ago. He loved every moment of it. Takes a very special and unique person for this type of solitary adventure. He got into and was amongst the first kit boarders in American. He was an extraordinary human being. I miss him terribly. Keep living your best life young warrior! BTW… His name was Greg too. Gregory Boyington III. 1965-2014
I did a solo, self-contained bicycle expedition from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego. I started in june of 1988 and arrived in Ushuaia (The world's southernmost city.) in March of 1990. My original route plan was to take the pacific coast, but, at that time, the "Sendero Luminoso" was very active in Peru, and a lot of travelers I met on "The Gringo Trail" warned me to avoid Peru altogether. So I opted to go through Brazil instead, and it turned out to be an amazing route!
He was so young! Alvin, (my used to be agnostic Vietnam paratrooper brother) received JESUS on the recovery room table after quadruple bypass heart surgery in 1986! He had been DOA at Mount Diablo Hospital, and died THREE MORE TIMES! After he got saved, Alvin became a Chaplain for the Illinois State Prison System! He was bringing men out of prison early when they entered our churches rehab program! JESUS called him Home after he'd married again and had a beautiful daughter! Job well done! A good soldier for GOD and his country! He was only 55 but had led a miraculously full life just like your precious brother! ❤️✝️❤️
The reason you were so lucky, and so many total strangers reached out to help you is obvious to me. It's because you were "Pure of Heart"! Have you ever noticed that in fairy tales the young heroes are often described that way. I am 72 years old now, but when I was 17 I hitchhiked all across the U.S.A. by myself. I got many great rides, and met some very compassionate people who looked out for me , and kept me safe. They fed me and kept me from freezing. I used to wonder how I had been so lucky. Many years later I realized that it was because I too was "Pure of Heart" at that time. I hadn't grown rigid and opinionated. I held no animosity for anyone, and my spirit was open, curious , and brave. I'm a different person now, as we all eventually become. Victoria is a treasure. Such a brave girl, a real keeper, Son! What an adventure. How lucky you are to live in an age when it could all be recorded. I don't even have a photograph from my youth. I wish you a long life, full of all the best! Be Well. my lucky young friends, and Prosper!
@@nodrvgs In 1970, when I was 17, my maternal grandmother, who had raised me, died. I dropped out of the prestigious Bronx High School of Science, in the middle of my senior year, boarded a bus at Port Authority in New York, and rode 4 days to Market Street in San Fransisco. It was the tail end of the Hippie era, and I became a tie-dyed- in- the wool Haight Ashbury flower child. Eventually I ended up living on a commune in Sonoma county called Wheeler's Ranch, which has become somewhat legendary. We raised organic veggies, had weekly pot luck feasts, and partook of sweat lodge purifications. The older residents took me under their wings, and I never went hungry. I got restless after a while and decided to return to Frisco. A friend from the commune invited me to a church where people of all ages and colors served meals, played music, sang, and formed a community. I was not interested in religion at the time, and I decided it wasn't for me. I remember turning around to read the plaque on the front of the building. It read, "The People's Temple. Pastor Jim Jones". It was time for me to go back home to N.YC.. I sat in Berkley with a cardboard sign that read "New York", and I actually made it back, without one red cent in my pocket. I had many adventures, and saw the sights, including Mount Rushmore, and Yellowstone Park. I was saved from freezing by a carload of guys coming home from a party, and met with nothing but kindness all along the way. I was very, very lucky, but I was also "Pure of Heart"! It was a special time, and I certainly wouldn't recommend it these days. I'm 72 years old now, and last week I road my trekking bike 250 miles from Columbus, Ohio to Cincinatti, and back! Bikepacking has become my new passion since I recently received a new hip and a new knee. I'm absurdly healthy for my age, and I think it is because I have never let the old man in the door. There is only one direction, and that is FORWARD! All the best to you, my friend, Be Well, and Prosper!
I adore you Greg, for putting that little clip in when Victoria was really suffering that day from being on the worst day of the month. So many men will cringe at that but the truth is, once a month, we are suffering so much in silence while we do these extreme adventures and people have no idea how much harder everything is for us those days. I admire you as a man for being so real and honest about how her challenge differs from yours. Cheers bro!
I am just over ten minutes into this video, I adore the way you have put this together. I am so very sincerely hoping that this love story disguised as a bike ride continues for you for decades and decades and decades ever after...
yeah i was doing munich to gardasea last year in a couple of days areound 500k aswell. And man it was 80 Percent suffering and missing my girlfriend. But then these stunning moments you have on such a trip make up for all that suffering you have to endure. i only did truly understood that as i reached my destination and felt all that pressure fall from my shoulders. First time leaving the country on my own with a tent and all that stuff.
So, this isn’t clickbait, this is a real life modern day odyssey, man, what a legendary journey, I can’t wait for more. (Saludos a mi paisana mexicana Victoria🇲🇽)
I love Victoria's determination. Coming from being a newbie, to what she accomplished is incredible and inspiring. Her vulnerability and struggle through all those miles of rain, snow, heat and cold all the way to her family's home in Chihuahua was fantastic
The adventure of a lifetime for two crazy people. The silent, bulletproof guy, and the cheerful, lovely sunshine girl. Love you guys, and respect for what you did. Cheers from Hungary.
This was a dream of my photography teacher in high school. He retired the year after he taught me and he would light up when he talked about doing this trip. He unfortunately died while riding his bike around a neighborhood just a few months after he retired. Seeing you and Victoria do this made me happy, as it's nice to see dreams become reality.
All the cyclists welcoming Victoria home had me in tears. This was such a great adventure. Thank you for bringing us along and good luck and safe travels down to Argentina!
I stumbled accross your film and couldn't stop watching it. So enjoyable to see two young people having such a wonderful adventure and meeting good people on the way. Well done, Tony age 76.
Not only is it a remarkable journey, but you've done such a good job story-telling and editing the experience. I totally cried at the end when the family and town of Chiahuaua welcomed you! So beautiful, thanks for sharing it with us! Sending good wishes for the 2nd half!
Victoria, More than anything, I hope you see this. I am going through a really hard time right now. My father past away this year and I lost my job. Something you said has helped me so much to keep going. The scene where you are almost crying and talking about the worst day of riding and the headwinds. You said " sometimes life gets hard but you just have to keep peddling. " It made me cry and gave me strength. You never when what you say or do becomes a blessing to someone else. I love your attitude through all the adverse weather and crazy circustances. You kept smiling and you wanted more. I admire that very much. God bless and take care .
I have watched the journey and seeing this just leaves me in awe especially of what Victoria has done with little or no prior experience. Bravo. You are both really fun and special people and so blessed to have each other. 😊 Many thanks. And props to Daniel and Tumbleweed. You and all the people along the way, have left me laughing, smiling the entire 36 minutes. Very nice edit.
Whenever I watch this kind of videos I'm like: is our world made of hate how we can hear everyday from the news, or is our world made of love and kind people you found along your way? I truly believe world is made of love, and it's always nice to have some proofs. Thanks a lot guys!
I’m a trucker in the U.S and you both are badass! That’s some rough terrain and temperatures. Very inspirational! Best to you both on your journey further South 👍🏻.
May he rest in peace, he sounds increasbile. I'm thinking of doing that exact ride as I have family down there, thinking of doing it once I graduate, probably with a friend.
I was born in Guadalajara, Mexico. I came to the States when I was 4. I love my country, it's just so sad to know how dangerous some areas are. And by the way, your Spanish is very good!! I look forward to more videos. Thank You for sharing.
Such feel-good/inspirational content!! I cried like 5 times during this video🥲 The amount of hospitality you were welcomed with throughout the journey was soo heartwarming. So refreshing to see so much positivity. I bet your hearts are sooo full!
So I just bought my first mountain bike. I am 58 years old. And I plan on using my bike to commute to work which will be 14 miles every day. So I was checking out videos and your video is so epic so inspirational gives me positive vibes and hope thanks the scenery is crazy unbelievable
Greg & Victoria…..you brought tears to my eyes because this is so beautiful. And I see you just a few days ago posted this. What an incredible story. Wonderful of you to share this with the world and let everyone see something other than the evilness that is going on everywhere. You both had a lot of willpower to attempt this, ESPECIALLY VICTORIA! She is amazing! As you said….as you get old you will look back at this as something beautiful and special. The majority of people in the world think having lots of ‘possessions’ is what life is about but all those possessions end up being forgotten and worthless. What life is made up of is ‘experiences’ because those will never diminish being what we cherish until we die. So touching to see all the welcoming bicycler’s welcoming you to Victorias home town. This is the first video of yours I have seen and will watch many more. Keep safe! Thanks for sharing.
I had a huge lump in my throat and tears in my eyes the entire time watching. I am so incredibly proud of my amazingly caring and generous North American brothers and sisters 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 🇲🇽. The absolute greatest countries on this big beautiful earth 🌎. Your strength and perseverance inspire me to seek adventure and treat those on my path with the same gracious kindness 🙏 Safe travels and blessings for you both and for everyone reading this today ❤
What a treat!! Thank you so much Victoria and Greg. I have watched it twice already. It seems that 36 minutes is not enough. I am looking forward to your new adventures and amazing videos. Stay safe on the road. Happy travels. Hugs from Canada.
What a beautiful wholesome video! I enjoyed it so much, and I’m glad you decided to take us along! Around one whole year in about 40 minutes! Perfectly edited may I add!
this video makes me so emotional😭 we focus so much on the anger and hate triggered by world news and often forget about the kindness that massively exists in every corner of the world.
I live in BC and have driven some of those stretches of highway, really drives home how massive of a journey this is. Beautiful to see so many people helping you along the way!
I just cracked up at the mud scene, and your reaction to the mud. Sooooo familiar. Push the bike for 10 feet, trying not to slip and fall, dig the wheels out with a tent pin, and repeat. Been there, done that, don't need the t-shirt. Awesome ride!!! Would have gladly followed, but age has gotten to me.....
What a sweet video, I was crying when you started getting places to stay from strangers. I'm Canadian, so a little biased, but I'm always caught by surprise by how welcoming people are. I've stayed on my fair share of stranger's couches!
seeing all the strangers who helped along the way is really heartwarming! it's so easy to lose faith in humanity these days, but it's nice to see a reminder that there are still so many good people out there
That umbleweed Bikes outfit deserves some big ups for its support of you guys AND for the obvious quality, endurance and sheer guts of its bikes lol! You guys certainly put them through their paces!
@@GregMcCahon I did the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route from Mexico up in to Canada this past summer on one after watching these videos. Life changing! They are great bikes and these videos do an incredible job capturing the feeling of a journey like this.
Beautiful, all three...Greg, Victoria and nature. Thank you for sharing your adventure and glad you both are safe. Also, so happy that you both ran into so many wonderful people on your way. Be safe on your next adventure. Cheers.
I didn’t think I was going to cry but seeing Victoria’s family embrace her after such a long journey brought tears to my eyes!! What a beautiful trip and wonderfully captured on video!! Loved the editing and music choices. Definitely going to be rewatching this!
My parents and I have always traveled a lot by bike we did a year were we travels trough Asia and often do couple days / weeks of biking. Just got a surgery nothing serious but I can’t do sports for 2 month and this is just reminding me that I miss it so much the amount of memories and story you make on the road is incredible. Great filming
What a beautiful thing to do and after only knowing each other for 1 month. You put a smile on my face. Life's not easy for some of us, and I thank both you for including me on your adventure. You guys Rock!
It was so heart-warming watching this adventurous couple. The many people that were courteous to them, I am sure made their journey much more pleasurable. Thanks for sharing.
I just watched your entire video. It made me laugh and cry. I will do Alaska to Argentina by car someday for sure. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story.
What you two did was truely incredible! You DID what we ALL want to DO! It had me in tears at the end of the video, seeing all the love and support! Reminds me of my adventureous days and my adventurous heart. Life is amazing! I hope the both of you remain life long friends! Thank you for sharing your amazing adventure!
I love your video.. I would never know that mexico was that beautiful, and i was born there. You have shown us many different sites of mexico that only some have ever seen. Keep up the good work, and dont stop the good work. Stay safe...good luck in your journey. Cheers from Groves texas.
Hello you two! I cried when Victoria was greeted by welcome committee of cycles in her hometown! I've watched the beginnings of your cycling journey, is Inspiring, beautiful scenery and horrible weather!. Can't wait for both of you to resumed your cycling journey. Good luck! And have FUN!! 😊❤
The sugar shack! I hope you guys got the maple bacon poutine there. Was cool seeing you guys travel through my childhood stomping grounds in BC. What an awesome journey to watch
Absolutely wonderful you guys. The fact that you documented this and shared that with us is incredible. Thank you and God bless the rest of your lives together.
Dear Greg and Victoria, You all have earned respect! Very shocked. You all had a dream of what you always wanted to do , which was bicycle across the entire country!!! That is not usually a dream that most would ever even try to fulfill, due to the death threatening conditions, and risks that follow. You all shockingly accomplished this , and you have earned respect for this from everyone! Congratulations! Seriously in emotional shock , From crying, to laughing, to seeing all of the sights , to struggling , to showing incredible resilience, very amamzed at you alls stength! Praying that you all have happy holidays, Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You all seriously traveled across the entire country!!!!!!!!! Woooww!!!
Thank you for sharing this incredible video. I found myself moved to tears multiple times, not only by the kindness of strangers and the beauty of the world you're cycling through but also by your unwavering perseverance and courage. Victoria appears to be a shining beacon of light, and it must be a true delight to embark on this extraordinary journey with such a beautiful, kind, brave, and warm-hearted individual. Wishing you both the best of luck, and eagerly anticipating the recap from Mexico to Argentina!
Wow, I don't post much here, but I'was so happy when I saw the name of Iohan Gueorguiev at the begining of the video. I'm glad his odyssey is not dead with him. Feel like this guy inspired a lot of us. He was good to share a lot of feels through his video and filming and so are you. I will follow your trip as much as I followed him. What you are doing with your bicycles is amazing and thanks for sharing that with all of us ! It's not easy everyday on the road, but hell it can be magnificent. Nice video, a lot of respect to both of you !
I'm only 10 minutes into the film and I am LOVING it! At 60 yrs old, the biking idea is a bit out of my comfort zone, but my husband and I are geared up and ready for time on the road in our Sprinter van. This is such great inspiration to get out there and explore whatever comes our way!! #VANLIFE
How wonderful was that!! Still crying writing this comment. It was so heartwarming seeing all this strangers helping you and the amazing welcome in your hometown was really made me cry! This video is so nice to watch and I just send it to my friends and family, because I want to share this wonderful video with them.
14:06 I literally had tears of joy to see you make it to Hope. So happy you met those kind strangers along your journey. And I'm proud, too. Those people represent Canadians when we're at our best. Wishing you both all the best in your journey. Kind regards from Toronto, Ontario, Canada
This was AMAZING. Just came up on my recommended feed and was glued to your story and editing! Best of luck to you both and can't wait for the next part!
Thank Mexican welcome got me all in my feelings! Amazing. This video truly warmed the soul and can serve as a reminder to those who doubt the existence of love and a common humanity. Bravo!
amazing storytelling you two! I couldn't help but shed a tear when you arrived in Chihuahua.. thinking of all the positively minded people you met along the way somehow conspiring so that you could be safe, sheltered, fed and somehow continue on your journey made me realize how human interactions can sometimes create a little magic. Good luck with your next adventure!
You know, the US gets a really bad wrap online, but I always see videos like these where it's so vivid and clear that the generosity of our people is beautiful and admirable, especially in places like Alaska where people live humble, community driven lives.
true that. We tend to help the people around us more than the internet gives us credit. I will say tho, having been stationed in alaska and seeing the brutal winters first-hand, you kinda need to help your neighbor lest they don't help you when you need it and the outside kills you
How so?? You get away from the big cities, people are nice. And most that are rude are liberals. It amazes me how they say conservatives are the violent one's when their is only proof of liberals being violent. We want peace even with them, to stand together, but they don't. So why is that?? How hard is it to realize people getting along and wanting the same things, makes a great country. I think that's why conservatives are like that. We do see it, and respect others. 🤷♀️
Um.. A lot of that generosity was in Canada lol I’m only halfway through the video so far, so maybe there will be more once they cross the border into the US
Dude this was epic! I live in Vietnam and we recently hosted some couchsurfers cycling from Germany to Singapore. Watching your video reminded me of their trip and I love that people like yall are going against the grain of what society tells us to do with our time and instead living it fully. Many people might take the money you saved/used for this trip and spent it on a car or a down payment on a house, or something else super boring like that but you're dedicating your time and money to something amazing. Godspeed and looking forward to the next video going south!
Great adventure. So many good people along the way. Would have liked to have seen more on how you dealt with punctures, slipped/broken chains, and other equipment breakdowns? Good luck to you both, on the rest of your journey. Godspeed.
Incredible video. I genuinely cried multiple times. The heart and generosity of people cannot be overstated. Absolutely beautiful stuff, very inspiring.
This brought tears to my eyes. My late father who passed from cancer a few months ago rode his bike from the Oregon coast to Boston right after finishing architectural school. We still have the paper map with the outline of his passage. His stories will forever be in my memory. I am so glad you did this!
Your video made me cry so many tears! It is so wonderful to see that kindness is still in the world! Thank you for keeping that in your video and for sharing it with the world!
I am halfway through the video and have paused it at the part where you stayed in Cultus Lake for a week. As a life time resident of Chilliwack, I thank you for the joy you brought me, watching this video while you showcase the beautiful, kind hearted souls we have here in canada My door is always welcome to you if you ever decide to come through town. Much love -Mitch
Hi everyone! Seems like this video has been picked up by the algorithm, so if you are new here, welcome!
There are a lot of questions and as we’re riding right now I don’t have time to answer them all, but I’ll try and clear up a few of the more common ones here:
*_Where is Victoria from?_*
Mexico, specifically Chihuahua in the North of Mexico.
*_How do you afford to do this?_*
Travelling by bicycle is one of the cheapest ways to travel. Camping most nights, without any rent or bills to pay, the main expense is just food. Most cyclists on trips like this live on a budget of between 10-15 USD/day, which works out to around $300 - $500 per month of travel. I’ve even met someone doing it on $1 - $3/day ($30-$90/month!), if you are resourceful you can make it work very cheaply!
I was saving up for a few years while working in London, with the soul focus of doing this trip. When I thought I had enough, I then quit my job, left everything behind and hit the road. I was fortunate not to have any serious commitments back home that I needed to stay for. I then met Victoria after 2 weeks on the bike, and a few months later we convinced each other to team up, find her a bike and fly up to Alaska, which is where this video begins.
We continued mainly off my savings at first, but those quickly ran out after buying all the gear and supporting 2 people instead of just 1 (Vic didnt have the advantage of years of savings behind her).
Thats when youtube picked up, and a bunch of generous people on here started to support us over on Patreon, and Tumbleweed (the company that made our bikes) stepped in to support us too!
*_Why did you start so late?_*
Heading up to Alaska was a VERY last minute decision, we literally decided to do this 2 weeks before we flew up there. The ideal time to start would have been a month or two earlier, but we didn't want to wait a whole year for the perfect timing. We thought that if we were speedy, we might just be able to make it in time to outrun winter. So we tried not to overthink it, flew to Alaska and got started! (Turned out we weren't very speedy)
*_How will you plan to cross the Darien Gap?_*
No solid plans yet, but we’ll most likely get a boat around.
*_How many miles do you ride each day?_*
It really depends on the terrain and how hilly it is. We like to take things easy and not stress about miles. Most days we ride somewhere between 25 - 40 miles (40-64km). Some days we struggle to even make it 15, and I think our longest was around 80.
*_Are the bikes single speed?_*
No, the rear wheel has an internal 14 speed hub called a ‘Rohloff’. They are not electric and are purely human powered, it just means that all the delicate parts are sealed away from the elements, making our day-to-day maintenance very minimal and drama-free. We just have to change the oil in the hub every 5000km and thats about it! It’s pretty dreamy, especially when things get muddy. Consider checking out Tumbleweeds website if you're interested! Link is in the description above
*_How did you guys gain weight in the US?_*
We were surprised by this too! haha. Turns out even if you are cycling most days, with a week off to edit videos here and there, you can pack on some decent calories if you are as talented at eating as we are. While the fast food in the US was fun, it’s a lot easier to find cheap, healthy (& delicious!) food here in Mexico and below, so we’re planning to eat a lot better from here on out.
I hope that was helpful! I have a Q&A video on my channel that answers a few more questions if you are curious. Anyway, I hope you enjoy / enjoyed the video! Thank you for watching and for all the lovely comments. It is so nice to read them in the tent each night! (we are currently continuing on through Mexico and beyond, more videos coming very soon) - Greg
Marry her right now 😂😭
Absolutely incredible video
Not sure if you have gotten there already or not, but what is your plan to cross the Darien Gap? It is my understanding that there are no roads whatsoever, so not sure how you are going to push a fully loaded bicycle through there, but be safe and good luck! Awesome video!
Good documentary. If you need any knowledge from an experienced bike traveller, ask to Gürkan Genç. He is travelling around the world over 10 years and he is going to travel from Colombia to North America this year. Maybe your destinations cross over and meet by person.
Yes marry her now put a baby in her you two will have beautiful children family is everything
Hi everyone! We had a few extra weeks before setting back off so I thought I’d edit everything from the trip so far into one jam-packed 36 minute film. It took far more work than I thought it would, but I’m so proud of the result. I hope you like it!
I have a feeling that when we’re old and frail, this is one of the videos we’ll go back and watch to remember the good times.
Back on the bikes tomorrow or the next day, wish us luck!
🫂🌹🫂 So looking forward to spending time with the two of you again. Safe travels as you make your way. Blessings from Northern California
Good luck! Safe journey.
Brilliant !! Greg, don't forget to send me the route with a list of major town stops so I can get you some hotels where possible, Love you guys, Keith and Rene
Awesome, if you pass through Querétaro area let me know! Would love to ride with you guys for a bit or host you guys!
Looking forward to seeing the rest of your trip! Good luck, and thanks for the content!
Victoria's journey from bike newbie to seasoned cyclist is truly inspiring.
She is a really courageous girl, so adventurous I’m sure many other people admire her like I do
Bro this girl has the heart of a lion !
seasoned? Like spring, summer, autum and winter?
She pays honor to her name “Victory”
I was amazed and impressed that Victoria set out on this adventure with only a couple of weeks training.
Humanity is not dead!! It truly made me emotional to see so many folks step up to the plate and offer you guys their homes and hospitality. This was a beautiful video!
Lol there's a whole website for people that are traveling looking for a place to stay and people offer their homes as a place all over the world.
I teared up as all the cyclists in Victoria's hometown showed up to support you. That was beautiful!
Me too!what a wonderdul way to celebrate the journey with fellow bikers across Mexico. 😢 so special.
that was absolutely beautiful 🥰
Me too
Amazing 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Me too 🥲🥲
You know what you do with these videos? You take all that warmth and love you receive along the way and you spread it to thousands of viewers across the whole world. In these times where there's so much hatred, disagreement and divisions you make the world a slightly happier and better place. From the bottom of my heart - thank you for that. Wish you all the luck.
This is so wonderful, thank you! We're very proud to be able to share some of the beauty and kindness we experience
@@GregMcCahonFYI Vancouver is bigger than Vegas 2.6M vs 2.2M
I totally agree. It is very touching all of the heartfelt kindness you received along the way. The world is still a good place to be in. One of the best cycling films i've watched for sure, thank you!
Honestly thank you for sharing an experience so different and refreshing
Ah geez what a good comment you know you're doing it right when you make people cry on TH-cam
What made this trip the best was the fact that complete strangers took you guys in their homes and showed hospitality.
Honestly, it's because they are a certain color.
@@duckling4393 Ya? And what color is that my boy?
As a canadian, I'm so proud of the hospitality you were shown!!
same its amazing to see :)
Is there any place more beautiful then British Columbia?..i think God would say “No”.
I live in British Columbia, and it's amazing here. I've gone on many hicks and I'm only 11 years old
Canada is amazing
There are good people in the world
Some of the most under-viewed bike content on youtube, quality was 10/10, what an epic trip
Couldn't agree more!! They deserve more love
can u recommend some other bike adventure contents u have ever seen?
Check out Robert Helou and Florence Ryan on their trip from the north to south of Africa

Glad the algorithm gods threw this one in my feed. GREAT video and what an awesome journey to follow along with. Love the hospitality shown along the way.
she trained for just a few weeks before attempting a wilderness cycling tour?!?!? what a badass.
I had the same thoughts. Mad respect to Victoria. That's incredible.
Hey, she is mexican!😊
I could do the same thing
@@jrsthesedays925i dont care
@@PlushedPlushed then why do all these people care about this Mexican girl doing the same thing I can do?
At 70 years of age….you have taken me back to my 30’s, and 6500 miles rambling in the lower 48. Such emotional memories of head wind, multi days of rain, heat, and cold. Thanks for awakening an old heart!❤❤❤
loveeeeeeeeeee
Rest in peace bro, you won't have to suffer for long 🙏
thats wilddd bro who said he was about to die
YOU GOT A BIKE STILL???

Everything about this film shines bright light on humanity. Youth, adventure, nature's beauty, love, generosity. It's a very spiritual film. Well photographed, narrated and soundtracked. It's an instant restoration of how humans can be in a terrible time when there is so much darkness and evil taking hold of this planet. Brightened up my day. It's people like you and those who helped you along your journey that restores my faith and gives us all hope for the future.
My brother did this bike ride 33 years ago. He loved every moment of it. Takes a very special and unique person for this type of solitary adventure. He got into and was amongst the first kit boarders in American. He was an extraordinary human being. I miss him terribly. Keep living your best life young warrior! BTW… His name was Greg too. Gregory Boyington III. 1965-2014
Not solitary if you're doing it with your partner. Going solo is an entirely different experience. Your brother sounded like an amazing man.
Simply, wow.
Want to know more 😮
I did a solo, self-contained bicycle expedition from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego. I started in june of 1988 and arrived in Ushuaia (The world's southernmost city.) in March of 1990. My original route plan was to take the pacific coast, but, at that time, the "Sendero Luminoso" was very active in Peru, and a lot of travelers I met on "The Gringo Trail" warned me to avoid Peru altogether. So I opted to go through Brazil instead, and it turned out to be an amazing route!
He was so young! Alvin, (my used to be agnostic Vietnam paratrooper brother) received JESUS on the recovery room table after quadruple bypass heart surgery in 1986! He had been DOA at Mount Diablo Hospital, and died THREE MORE TIMES! After he got saved, Alvin became a Chaplain for the Illinois State Prison System! He was bringing men out of prison early when they entered our churches rehab program! JESUS called him Home after he'd married again and had a beautiful daughter! Job well done! A good soldier for GOD and his country! He was only 55 but had led a miraculously full life just like your precious brother! ❤️✝️❤️
Imagine the footage he would’ve had with modern day tech. I’m glad he lived his best life
My friend, that woman is a keeper!! Don't ever let go a human being like her! ❤
Agree!
Agree, she's a sunshine, they are really lucky to have found each other
Right
That's because she's mexican
He got sooo lucky!
The reason you were so lucky, and so many total strangers reached out to help you is obvious to me. It's because you were "Pure of Heart"! Have you ever noticed that in fairy tales the young heroes are often described that way. I am 72 years old now, but when I was 17 I hitchhiked all across the U.S.A. by myself. I got many great rides, and met some very compassionate people who looked out for me , and kept me safe. They fed me and kept me from freezing. I used to wonder how I had been so lucky. Many years later I realized that it was because I too was "Pure of Heart" at that time. I hadn't grown rigid and opinionated. I held no animosity for anyone, and my spirit was open, curious , and brave. I'm a different person now, as we all eventually become. Victoria is a treasure. Such a brave girl, a real keeper, Son! What an adventure. How lucky you are to live in an age when it could all be recorded. I don't even have a photograph from my youth. I wish you a long life, full of all the best! Be Well. my lucky young friends, and Prosper!
this was such a sweet comment. What were your travels like
@@nodrvgs In 1970, when I was 17, my maternal grandmother, who had raised me, died. I dropped out of the prestigious Bronx High School of Science, in the middle of my senior year, boarded a bus at Port Authority in New York, and rode 4 days to Market Street in San Fransisco. It was the tail end of the Hippie era, and I became a tie-dyed- in- the wool Haight Ashbury flower child. Eventually I ended up living on a commune in Sonoma county called Wheeler's Ranch, which has become somewhat legendary. We raised organic veggies, had weekly pot luck feasts, and partook of sweat lodge purifications. The older residents took me under their wings, and I never went hungry. I got restless after a while and decided to return to Frisco. A friend from the commune invited me to a church where people of all ages and colors served meals, played music, sang, and formed a community. I was not interested in religion at the time, and I decided it wasn't for me. I remember turning around to read the plaque on the front of the building. It read, "The People's Temple. Pastor Jim Jones". It was time for me to go back home to N.YC.. I sat in Berkley with a cardboard sign that read "New York", and I actually made it back, without one red cent in my pocket. I had many adventures, and saw the sights, including Mount Rushmore, and Yellowstone Park. I was saved from freezing by a carload of guys coming home from a party, and met with nothing but kindness all along the way. I was very, very lucky, but I was also "Pure of Heart"! It was a special time, and I certainly wouldn't recommend it these days. I'm 72 years old now, and last week I road my trekking bike 250 miles from Columbus, Ohio to Cincinatti, and back! Bikepacking has become my new passion since I recently received a new hip and a new knee. I'm absurdly healthy for my age, and I think it is because I have never let the old man in the door. There is only one direction, and that is FORWARD! All the best to you, my friend, Be Well, and Prosper!
@@nodrvgs My replies are being deleted!?! Sorry! Apparently, someone thinks that my story should not be told. Go figure!
I clicked on it thinking I’d just watch 5-10 min. But I ended up watching the whole video. It’s beautiful to see such love/kindness
Ha ha me too lol
Same here!😊
Me too
me too!
same here
I adore you Greg, for putting that little clip in when Victoria was really suffering that day from being on the worst day of the month. So many men will cringe at that but the truth is, once a month, we are suffering so much in silence while we do these extreme adventures and people have no idea how much harder everything is for us those days. I admire you as a man for being so real and honest about how her challenge differs from yours. Cheers bro!
That ride into Chihuahua with so many cyclists was so emotionally powerful. Excited to see the journey south!
I am just over ten minutes into this video, I adore the way you have put this together. I am so very sincerely hoping that this love story disguised as a bike ride continues for you for decades and decades and decades ever after...
Man, I biked across Korea, which is like 500 odd kilometers and I felt top of the world. I can only imagine what this would feel like. Well done guys.
Only South or both?
@@daniyilsemi2941 haha. only south. Although I would love to do North as well.
Sounds fun😀
yeah i was doing munich to gardasea last year in a couple of days areound 500k aswell. And man it was 80 Percent suffering and missing my girlfriend. But then these stunning moments you have on such a trip make up for all that suffering you have to endure. i only did truly understood that as i reached my destination and felt all that pressure fall from my shoulders. First time leaving the country on my own with a tent and all that stuff.
Do you have it documented? I would love to see your journey across SK
So, this isn’t clickbait, this is a real life modern day odyssey, man, what a legendary journey, I can’t wait for more.
(Saludos a mi paisana mexicana Victoria🇲🇽)
Every single time, people took care of us.
That simple line brought tears to my eyes.
Why? If you are prepared to not work for 1 year and pedal your bike thru wild should get ready not to be cared by anyone and sleep in tent on the road
I love Victoria's determination. Coming from being a newbie, to what she accomplished is incredible and inspiring. Her vulnerability and struggle through all those miles of rain, snow, heat and cold all the way to her family's home in Chihuahua was fantastic
This was so epic!! I'm so happy for you man - good luck to you and Victoria on the next leg of your journey. (Jack)
Thank you friend!
@@GregMcCahon Lots of love from India mate have a safe journey
❤Hello, I cannot watch your videos because the Turkish subtitle option is not defined.
The adventure of a lifetime for two crazy people. The silent, bulletproof guy, and the cheerful, lovely sunshine girl. Love you guys, and respect for what you did. Cheers from Hungary.
This was a dream of my photography teacher in high school. He retired the year after he taught me and he would light up when he talked about doing this trip. He unfortunately died while riding his bike around a neighborhood just a few months after he retired. Seeing you and Victoria do this made me happy, as it's nice to see dreams become reality.
All the cyclists welcoming Victoria home had me in tears. This was such a great adventure. Thank you for bringing us along and good luck and safe travels down to Argentina!
I stumbled accross your film and couldn't stop watching it. So enjoyable to see two young people having such a wonderful adventure and meeting good people on the way. Well done, Tony age 76.
Not only is it a remarkable journey, but you've done such a good job story-telling and editing the experience. I totally cried at the end when the family and town of Chiahuaua welcomed you! So beautiful, thanks for sharing it with us! Sending good wishes for the 2nd half!
Victoria, More than anything, I hope you see this. I am going through a really hard time right now. My father past away this year and I lost my job. Something you said has helped me so much to keep going. The scene where you are almost crying and talking about the worst day of riding and the headwinds. You said " sometimes life gets hard but you just have to keep peddling. " It made me cry and gave me strength. You never when what you say or do becomes a blessing to someone else. I love your attitude through all the adverse weather and crazy circustances. You kept smiling and you wanted more. I admire that very much. God bless and take care .
Your comment was also inspirational to me! I'll pray for you!
❤❤
awww tears in my eyes at the hospitality.... I was a biker in far away central america and great hospitality. yay Canada nice guys
You guys make this look 100x easier than I'm sure it actually is. It's been so fun watching your adventure!!
I have watched the journey and seeing this just leaves me in awe especially of what Victoria has done with little or no prior experience. Bravo. You are both really fun and special people and so blessed to have each other. 😊 Many thanks. And props to Daniel and Tumbleweed. You and all the people along the way, have left me laughing, smiling the entire 36 minutes. Very nice edit.
Whenever I watch this kind of videos I'm like: is our world made of hate how we can hear everyday from the news, or is our world made of love and kind people you found along your way? I truly believe world is made of love, and it's always nice to have some proofs. Thanks a lot guys!
Victoria is always laughing, smiling and beaming! It is wonderful! She is a keeper!
I’m a trucker in the U.S and you both are badass! That’s some rough terrain and temperatures. Very inspirational! Best to you both on your journey further South 👍🏻.
May he rest in peace, he sounds increasbile. I'm thinking of doing that exact ride as I have family down there, thinking of doing it once I graduate, probably with a friend.
i got something in my eyes, and its tears❤❤
props to those who person who helped you guys
I was born in Guadalajara, Mexico. I came to the States when I was 4. I love my country, it's just so sad to know how dangerous some areas are. And by the way, your Spanish is very good!! I look forward to more videos. Thank You for sharing.
Mexico is awesome country love from India
Such feel-good/inspirational content!! I cried like 5 times during this video🥲 The amount of hospitality you were welcomed with throughout the journey was soo heartwarming. So refreshing to see so much positivity. I bet your hearts are sooo full!
So I just bought my first mountain bike. I am 58 years old. And I plan on using my bike to commute to work which will be 14 miles every day. So I was checking out videos and your video is so epic so inspirational gives me positive vibes and hope thanks the scenery is crazy unbelievable
Greg & Victoria…..you brought tears to my eyes because this is so beautiful. And I see you just a few days ago posted this. What an incredible story. Wonderful of you to share this with the world and let everyone see something other than the evilness that is going on everywhere. You both had a lot of willpower to attempt this, ESPECIALLY VICTORIA! She is amazing! As you said….as you get old you will look back at this as something beautiful and special. The majority of people in the world think having lots of ‘possessions’ is what life is about but all those possessions end up being forgotten and worthless. What life is made up of is ‘experiences’ because those will never diminish being what we cherish until we die. So touching to see all the welcoming bicycler’s welcoming you to Victorias home town. This is the first video of yours I have seen and will watch many more. Keep safe! Thanks for sharing.
wenn jeder so etwas macht, dann gibt es auch niemanden mehr der arbeitet und die Welt am laufen hält. Sollte man auch mal von der Seite her sehen.
The hospitality you guys have met brings a tear to my eye. So beautiful to see ❤
Keep the energy levels up and pedal on!!
You both are so lucky to share this adventure together, way to go!~
I had a huge lump in my throat and tears in my eyes the entire time watching. I am so incredibly proud of my amazingly caring and generous North American brothers and sisters 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 🇲🇽. The absolute greatest countries on this big beautiful earth 🌎. Your strength and perseverance inspire me to seek adventure and treat those on my path with the same gracious kindness 🙏 Safe travels and blessings for you both and for everyone reading this today ❤
What a treat!! Thank you so much Victoria and Greg. I have watched it twice already. It seems that 36 minutes is not enough. I am looking forward to your new adventures and amazing videos. Stay safe on the road. Happy travels. Hugs from Canada.
Thank you so much Agata!
0:43 that dedication hit me like a brick, but I love that you included it. He was a very special guy and is sorely missed.
What a beautiful wholesome video! I enjoyed it so much, and I’m glad you decided to take us along! Around one whole year in about 40 minutes! Perfectly edited may I add!
Thanks for sharing your voyage. Thanks to the fabulous folks at Tumbleweed for making Victoria and Greg's adventure possible.
what a feat! well done and thank you lovely people helping you out
this video makes me so emotional😭 we focus so much on the anger and hate triggered by world news and often forget about the kindness that massively exists in every corner of the world.
I live in BC and have driven some of those stretches of highway, really drives home how massive of a journey this is. Beautiful to see so many people helping you along the way!
I just cracked up at the mud scene, and your reaction to the mud. Sooooo familiar. Push the bike for 10 feet, trying not to slip and fall, dig the wheels out with a tent pin, and repeat. Been there, done that, don't need the t-shirt. Awesome ride!!! Would have gladly followed, but age has gotten to me.....
What a sweet video, I was crying when you started getting places to stay from strangers. I'm Canadian, so a little biased, but I'm always caught by surprise by how welcoming people are. I've stayed on my fair share of stranger's couches!
seeing all the strangers who helped along the way is really heartwarming! it's so easy to lose faith in humanity these days, but it's nice to see a reminder that there are still so many good people out there
So great and awesome to see you guys biking from Alaska to Mexico. I got emotional when Victoria's city rallied up for her. So amazing people 😍
That umbleweed Bikes outfit deserves some big ups for its support of you guys AND for the obvious quality, endurance and sheer guts of its bikes lol! You guys certainly put them through their paces!
They are our dream bikes! We're very luck to have their support. Thank for watching!
@@GregMcCahon I did the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route from Mexico up in to Canada this past summer on one after watching these videos. Life changing! They are great bikes and these videos do an incredible job capturing the feeling of a journey like this.
What an amazing adventure. You found the perfect cycling partner, with a great energy. Well done guys 🚴
Beautiful, all three...Greg, Victoria and nature. Thank you for sharing your adventure and glad you both are safe. Also, so happy that you both ran into so many wonderful people on your way. Be safe on your next adventure. Cheers.
In tears watching this. Human kindness is divine. You guys are troopers, fair play and good luck. Will share this video far and wide.
What a great experience
I didn’t think I was going to cry but seeing Victoria’s family embrace her after such a long journey brought tears to my eyes!! What a beautiful trip and wonderfully captured on video!! Loved the editing and music choices. Definitely going to be rewatching this!
My parents and I have always traveled a lot by bike we did a year were we travels trough Asia and often do couple days / weeks of biking. Just got a surgery nothing serious but I can’t do sports for 2 month and this is just reminding me that I miss it so much the amount of memories and story you make on the road is incredible. Great filming
What a beautiful thing to do and after only knowing each other for 1 month. You put a smile on my face. Life's not easy for some of us, and I thank both you for including me on your adventure. You guys Rock!
It was so heart-warming watching this adventurous couple. The many people that were courteous to them, I am sure made their journey much more pleasurable.
Thanks for sharing.
I just watched your entire video. It made me laugh and cry. I will do Alaska to Argentina by car someday for sure. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story.
Wow! Just wow! Bicycling is something I absolutely love to do. As far as I'm concerned it is the best form of transportation we have ever created.
What you two did was truely incredible! You DID what we ALL want to DO! It had me in tears at the end of the video, seeing all the love and support! Reminds me of my adventureous days and my adventurous heart. Life is amazing! I hope the both of you remain life long friends! Thank you for sharing your amazing adventure!
I love your video.. I would never know that mexico was that beautiful, and i was born there. You have shown us many different sites of mexico that only some have ever seen. Keep up the good work, and dont stop the good work. Stay safe...good luck in your journey. Cheers from Groves texas.
Hello you two! I cried when Victoria was greeted by welcome committee of cycles in her hometown! I've watched the beginnings of your cycling journey,
is Inspiring, beautiful scenery and horrible weather!. Can't wait for both of you to resumed your cycling journey. Good luck! And have FUN!! 😊❤
That has got to be one of the nicest bike packing films I have seen. I'm looking forward to watching more of your travels.
The sugar shack! I hope you guys got the maple bacon poutine there. Was cool seeing you guys travel through my childhood stomping grounds in BC. What an awesome journey to watch
This was amazing. Love how so many people opened their hearts and homes - the ending with the bikers coming out was incredible
Absolutely wonderful you guys. The fact that you documented this and shared that with us is incredible. Thank you and God bless the rest of your lives together.
This is the greatest TH-cam video I have ever watched in over a decade of doing so. Superb. It was like watching nature heal you
I cried! What an amazing journey, it makes you want to just move and explore and see life unfolding!
Dear Greg and Victoria,
You all have earned respect! Very shocked. You all had a dream of what you always wanted to do , which was bicycle across the entire country!!! That is not usually a dream that most would ever even try to fulfill, due to the death threatening conditions, and risks that follow. You all shockingly accomplished this , and you have earned respect for this from everyone! Congratulations! Seriously in emotional shock ,
From crying, to laughing, to seeing all of the sights , to struggling , to showing incredible resilience, very amamzed at you alls stength!
Praying that you all have happy holidays,
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You all seriously traveled across the entire country!!!!!!!!! Woooww!!!
the generosity shown by each and every individual in this video truly is amazing
Thank you for sharing this incredible video. I found myself moved to tears multiple times, not only by the kindness of strangers and the beauty of the world you're cycling through but also by your unwavering perseverance and courage. Victoria appears to be a shining beacon of light, and it must be a true delight to embark on this extraordinary journey with such a beautiful, kind, brave, and warm-hearted individual. Wishing you both the best of luck, and eagerly anticipating the recap from Mexico to Argentina!
Wow, I don't post much here, but I'was so happy when I saw the name of Iohan Gueorguiev at the begining of the video. I'm glad his odyssey is not dead with him. Feel like this guy inspired a lot of us. He was good to share a lot of feels through his video and filming and so are you. I will follow your trip as much as I followed him. What you are doing with your bicycles is amazing and thanks for sharing that with all of us ! It's not easy everyday on the road, but hell it can be magnificent. Nice video, a lot of respect to both of you !
He was so young. Good bless him
I'm only 10 minutes into the film and I am LOVING it! At 60 yrs old, the biking idea is a bit out of my comfort zone, but my husband and I are geared up and ready for time on the road in our Sprinter van. This is such great inspiration to get out there and explore whatever comes our way!! #VANLIFE
That homecoming brought literal tears to my eyes! And that montage of human kindness was epic! I loved this, thank you!
How wonderful was that!! Still crying writing this comment. It was so heartwarming seeing all this strangers helping you and the amazing welcome in your hometown was really made me cry! This video is so nice to watch and I just send it to my friends and family, because I want to share this wonderful video with them.
14:06 I literally had tears of joy to see you make it to Hope. So happy you met those kind strangers along your journey. And I'm proud, too. Those people represent Canadians when we're at our best. Wishing you both all the best in your journey. Kind regards from Toronto, Ontario, Canada
This was AMAZING. Just came up on my recommended feed and was glued to your story and editing! Best of luck to you both and can't wait for the next part!
Thank Mexican welcome got me all in my feelings! Amazing. This video truly warmed the soul and can serve as a reminder to those who doubt the existence of love and a common humanity. Bravo!
Hey Guys! I'm a road cyclist and and very envious of what we've done! Super! What a wonderful landscapes. I really love the great north.
amazing storytelling you two! I couldn't help but shed a tear when you arrived in Chihuahua.. thinking of all the positively minded people you met along the way somehow conspiring so that you could be safe, sheltered, fed and somehow continue on your journey made me realize how human interactions can sometimes create a little magic. Good luck with your next adventure!
The kindness of all the strangers (friends) and both of your perseverance brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing the journey
What a lovely journey, thank you for sharing.
You know, the US gets a really bad wrap online, but I always see videos like these where it's so vivid and clear that the generosity of our people is beautiful and admirable, especially in places like Alaska where people live humble, community driven lives.
true that. We tend to help the people around us more than the internet gives us credit. I will say tho, having been stationed in alaska and seeing the brutal winters first-hand, you kinda need to help your neighbor lest they don't help you when you need it and the outside kills you
How so?? You get away from the big cities, people are nice. And most that are rude are liberals. It amazes me how they say conservatives are the violent one's when their is only proof of liberals being violent. We want peace even with them, to stand together, but they don't. So why is that??
How hard is it to realize people getting along and wanting the same things, makes a great country. I think that's why conservatives are like that. We do see it, and respect others. 🤷♀️
wow...@@LoveDogs___3
@@LoveDogs___3 Bollocks!
Um.. A lot of that generosity was in Canada lol
I’m only halfway through the video so far, so maybe there will be more once they cross the border into the US
Dude this was epic! I live in Vietnam and we recently hosted some couchsurfers cycling from Germany to Singapore. Watching your video reminded me of their trip and I love that people like yall are going against the grain of what society tells us to do with our time and instead living it fully. Many people might take the money you saved/used for this trip and spent it on a car or a down payment on a house, or something else super boring like that but you're dedicating your time and money to something amazing.
Godspeed and looking forward to the next video going south!
Great adventure. So many good people along the way. Would have liked to have seen more on how you dealt with punctures, slipped/broken chains, and other equipment breakdowns? Good luck to you both, on the rest of your journey. Godspeed.
This was one of the best videos I've seen on YT. Such great story tellers. Congratulations!
Such a beautiful story, adventure and all the wonderful people and their hospitality. Clearly kindness isn't quite dead in this world.
Incredible video. I genuinely cried multiple times. The heart and generosity of people cannot be overstated. Absolutely beautiful stuff, very inspiring.
This brought tears to my eyes. My late father who passed from cancer a few months ago rode his bike from the Oregon coast to Boston right after finishing architectural school. We still have the paper map with the outline of his passage. His stories will forever be in my memory. I am so glad you did this!
Super beautiful story. Thank you for sharing!
Your video made me cry so many tears! It is so wonderful to see that kindness is still in the world! Thank you for keeping that in your video and for sharing it with the world!
started crying like a minute into this, you guys are truly amazing and the way you treat each other is very moving
I am halfway through the video and have paused it at the part where you stayed in Cultus Lake for a week.
As a life time resident of Chilliwack, I thank you for the joy you brought me, watching this video while you showcase the beautiful, kind hearted souls we have here in canada
My door is always welcome to you if you ever decide to come through town. Much love -Mitch
I’ve watched from the beginning and am continually impressed with your filmmaking. More so, impressed by human endurance. Amazing.
Thank you so much!
