- Looking for an escape after lockdown, my friend Dominic and I decide to ride bikes around Lake Tahoe. This 190 mile route circumnavigates the lake, dips into Reno, connects to various points on the Tahoe Rim Trail, and is generally INCREDIBLE!
Here's all the info about the Tahoe Twirl route on Bikepacking.com: bikepacking.com/routes/tahoe-...

I decided to smoosh together all the best moments from my Tahoe videos to make this overview of the experience. What was the first thing you all did after lockdown?
Went on my first backpacking trip! Wowza it was awesome! 🤙🥾🎒
Brilliant Idea!
I was never on lockdown, I was on the front line dealing with the tragic losses this virus has rung up. New spin to the twirl, Thanks for that.
Exactly the same things I did before "lockdown". Only change is the annoying shortage of bike parts.
Thanks for dedicating your life to helping people!!
“It feeds the soul waking up in places like this.”
I love that!! Never knew how to put that feeling into words
No wammies! No flatties! No crashies!
I just joined your Patreon. You've inspired me to G.O.T and get into mountain biking. As you may know though, here in the SF Bay Area where I'm based, there aren't a lot of bikepacking trails/MTB single tracks. So it's awesome to see that this is close by - just 4 hours away! Thank you! And pls keep the videos coming. Your energy and the way you model masculinity - kind, respectful, unafraid of expressing vulnerability and gratitude - is just what the country needs right now.
Always good to see such views and sucking a bit of happiness from the videos... I bought a bike for bikepacking, bags and every other equipment I might need but I still stuck in bed... Clinical depression is a shitty thing. I live the experience through these videos.. Thank you for making them.
I wish you all the best. let me know if I can ever help
Dominic is back!!!! Can't wait to see the 3 of you on another adventure, like you did in Cuba
Cuba was so awesome
@@duzer You telling me? I was born there and I watch it whenever I get home sick.Perhaps some day you can go back with them and go eastward.
Oh jeez, old video from an adventure I already watched, I'm not going to waste time on this...
19 minutes later: Wow, that was great
Exactly! ☺️
I hear you, but it’s not an old video...it’s all episodes edited into one coherent story, which actually takes way more editing than a simple daily vlog. Appreciate you watching all the way through!
@@duzer I hope you don’t think I was agreeing with him on the repeat. I said I agree on it was well worth watching... Merry Christmas Ryan... 🎄🎅🏻🇬🇧
You’re in my neighborhood!! I’m in Tahoe City. If you’re ever here again give me a shout out. I’ve got 4x4 and can get to most of the trails and come to the rescue. So glad you loved the Flume trail which does feel like “flying”! So fun to bike these trails.
I could watch this one over and over. But alas, I must go to work and save my pennies so I can go and ride this route myself.
Peace Ryan, may we all get plenty of dirt time.
Thanks for all the incredible videos that you create for us!
This is was one of my favorites!! Have fun on your adventures
Love to see the warm weather riding. Especially when it’s so cold and dark. Thank you for posting this!!! Gives me something to look forward to!
Glad you enjoyed it, we certainly did!
Your videos are always so awesome. Thank you.
Beautiful place, amazing video.
So loving your videos. Getting lost in the adventures.
Thank you for sharing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
So glad to see more!!! Hope you have a merry Christmas!!
I'm so grateful for your adventures! Today, despite it being 106 degrees here in Oregon, I was able to ride the dreaded stationary bike and ENJOYED it because I cued up this video and was so happy to ride Tahoe with you and your buddy! Tahoe is one of the many places on the list of which I'm not sure when, if ever, I'll do. As I'm sitting here post ride and post stretch, I'm just so grateful for your videos! THANK YOU.
That looks amazing....again. Thanks for sharing.
Wow Ryan and Dom, some of those scenes from the rim were fantastic! So majestic! Star lake was incredibly beautiful! Night scape with stars was incredible
Brilliant sir, thank you 👌 A merry festive season and don't forget to start the day with your chant 🤣👌
Wow that was really concise and amazing all the way through... I don't expect to ever make it to Tahoe or Tahiti... So thanks for scratching my bucket list for me! Oh hell , let's just call it a poke in the ribs to get moving ? Much love and gratitude
haha, you're funny!
Love Tahoe it looks amazing! Sitting here with my Siberian Husky watching another great Duzer production.
First thing I did was fly to key west and the Dry Tortuga’s.
That sounds like an awesome trip!
Congratulations Ryan what a beautiful part of the world. It's great to see you really observing and appreciating the natural world around you. These vids of yours show us why we should respect and protect mother nature.
Thank you so much, it's easy to get excited about nature in Tahoe. So many trees to hug!
I'm happy you revisited your Tahoe Twirl. The original series felt "rushed" probably because we all knew your big Great Divide trip was on the horizon.
Yeah, I really loved editing this piece together, it was such an awesome adventure.
What a fantastic video. The series was awesome, and this highlighted version was an excellent compilation.
Ryan, I needed this. I've been so caught up preparing for a new job, and preparing for the Christmas season that I've hardly been able to pry myself away. You've given me the boost that I needed.
Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Good luck with your new job!!!
Great video, beautiful trail. Killer day.
Excellent video Ryan, you gave it a nice twist ... the landscapes and very good descents.
Thanks!
This was exciting to watch loved it😃👍
Human interaction and nature... exactly what is needed right now! Thx for another great vid 💚
Thanks for watching!!
Welcome to the 40s to Dominick! Lovin’ mine so far! 🤙🎉.
Right on!!
Awesome. Another great adventure.
Thanks! It truly was awesome
Epic, definitely gotta put this on the list!
It’s worth it
Awesome recap Ryan! I just re-watched this series a few weeks ago and thought about how beautiful it was there and how lucky Dom is to live in such an amazing place. I'm getting ready to re-watch the durango to moab and can't wait for your next adventure. Happy Holidays
I really appreciate you watching, and rewatching my videos!!! Happy holidays!
Ryan. Love this condensed version of your Tahoe Twirl! I highly recommend that if your viewers like this video that they watch the entire series that you created earlier this year. Lake Tahoe is one of the most beautiful places in the world that I have ever experienced. Thanks for showing me a little different view.
Thanks, I really enjoyed putting this together
Really admire your perseverance on this one, Ryan and Dom... I would never want to bike through such rocky terrain, but Lake Tahoe and the surrounding area looks spectacular!!!!
Tahoe is incredible!
Awesome video Ryan..it's always a great adventure with you..
Thanks!!
Great video! Great performance Ryan! I appreciate the more chill, quiet vibe in comparence to the Great Divide videos.
I appreciate that!
Love what you do. I must become a bike packer.
Epic trail ride.
Sure was!
so stoked I found your channel. Amazing videos! Love your energy! :)
I’m stoked too!! Hope you enjoy my videos
Very nice. Happy holidays and the best for the year to come to you Ryan.
Thanks!! Right back atcha
Thanks Ryan for packing this one together a sweet reminder what's waiting!...Merry Christmas Ryan☃️🎥❤
Merry Christmas to you too!
was so captivated by this I kept forgetting I already hit the like button and kept going back to hit it. thank you for posting the route map.
Appreciate that! I loved this experience
11:32 Epic shot of a true giant Ryan! O.k. there all beautiful!
Such a beautiful tree
Always enjoy your cycling vids.
Glad you like them, cause I love making them
Wow! Riding through that narrow path up in the mountains....😳👏🇬🇧
It was a little dicey! ;)
love it man. happy memories. I miss Azul though, so much!
It was bittersweet looking at the footage of her again :(
Wow, epic ride. Some pretty scary lefts and rights though. Ha. Thanks guys. Oh and your photography is truly reaching a whole new level. Beautiful.
Yeah, you definitely don’t wanna fall in some areas!
Marathon. Haha. Love the lakes.
Love your videos. I feel like I can smell the pines! 🌲
And they smell soooo good
Appreciate the BLM highlight. Empathy always makes the world brighter. Not to mention great video and commentary. Subscribed.
I agree!! We need to open up our hearts and listen to those being oppressed. It’s time! Thanks for watching my video and welcome aboard!
Ryan, your videos are gold and you’re such an inspiration. I just watched your video on how to
Bicycle tour. IMO, I think you should offer touring trips or start a small business doing bike tours. I would sign up immediately as I’m sure your other followers would too. Something to think about. You’re so knowledgeable and upbeat no one could go wrong on a tour with you. Happy new year! Best wishes from New Jersey. 💚🎉
I might do that someday! Thanks so much for watching my videos and for your enthusiasm
Thank you !!
hey Ryan haven't had time to watch a whole lot of YT lately but def haven't forgotten how awesome this channel is!!
I appreciate you coming back to my channel, you rock!
Walked the Rim Trail. It was beautiful!
It really is!
That place looks beatiful.
It sure is!
Aaah a video like I love!
YAY!
hehehe Great Ending. Feliz Navidad Amigo!
Gracias amigo, feliz navidad
Your not just an adventurer, your also great with that camera & editing. Great work big dog !

@@duzer I appreciate you man ! Your the kind of friend I need, one day I just hope to meet you. Lol
I love seeing people meet you that follow you, you make them so happy. Keep smiling my friend.
@@helgarivers6281 hope to meet you too!
Yet another amazing adventure Ryan,,,😁👍❤️ why would you ever leave America. Such a beautiful place 🙏💕stay safe mate
I love to hug trees. It brings me luck and energy to carry on. I try to hug one tree a hike!
Love it!! We need more tree huggers
Love this condensed version watch all the originals too just got back from my 40th bikepacking adventure in Catalina it looked a little different due to camping being closed.
Glad to hear that you’ve been getting after it! Catalina must be beautiful
I am from indonesia always watch your journey...!!!
Hello from Colorado!
Wow, how time ✈️, Tahoe series is also a good one in 2020, even after all that was going on in the world 🌎. Hope you have happy holidays and hole lot better 2021 to you and your family.
Thanks, same to you!!
Dominic is an amazing awesome guy!
He is!
Lots of love from India. Happy holidays and wish you in advance, happy Christmas 🥰😍🤩
Sending love right back atcha!
Great adventure, I miss riding there. Had a bear in our campsite one night. Found out there are a LOT of them there so watch the food storage and ride on!
Yikes!
nice ride. 👌🚴
You say “is that why ‘they’ call it bikepacking”? Dude you are the “They”!!! 💪😉
Ha, true
Everybody should hug a tree now and then instead of just passing by. Nice scenery and very entertaining!
I agree! Trees need to be hugged ;)
Yes its porridge ,I have it every day, cycling food .
Nice video!!! I am a little bummed about the dog passing away. Puppies and kittens are my kryptonite.
This was ❤️ beautiful
Glad you liked it!
Hey, next time you're up on Flagstaff or in the Flatirons, find a big ol ponderosa with lots of cracks and seams in the bark. Get really close and take a whiff. Smells like vanilla or butterscotch.. same trees all around Tahoe.. Sweet Edit!!
Oh cook, I’ll do that!
I admire u ryan
In my neck of the woods so to speak. Wish I would have found your page earlier, i would have made an effort to join you for a day.
Holy crap, that ledge is close.
Don’t faaaaaaaalllllllll ;)
Merry Christmas
Same to you!
Is this like the rerun of old episodes? hmmm. I watched it anyway, missing some Duzer Time.
It’s a complication of the entire ride. Appreciate you watching it...again ;)
I was thinking the same thing... Feeling like I'm crazy at first or some Duzer Deja Vu.
@@duzer that sounds very "complicated" :D awesome video man (I haven't watched the original ones, so no clue how they were) but this one was amazing
I cannot wait to get back out on my bike again.
TORTILLA va con todo incluido los frijoles. Saludos desde California Ryan y familia .
Así es!!
Would you ever do a compilation of your food videos? Like all the clips of you eating and making food...it’s so comforting to watch
47 miles of single-track a day thats pretty strong stuff!
It was way harder than anything on the divide
Inspiraton 😊 🙏
Much Love ❤️ to you.
Right back atcha!
Ryan, love your stuff! Huge fan for years! One question though... ok, crashies & flatties I get, but what are WHAMMIES? Keep the great content coming! Man, I'm living the adventure through YOU, brother! :-)
A Whammie is anything REALLY bad and unexpected...like getting chased by a swarm of murder hornets, or getting struck by lightning, or falling off a cliff :)
@@duzer Thanx, bro! May all your rides be crashie, flattie, & whammie free! :-)
Point taken so that's why oatmeal gives me a belly ache LOL... Please sir, I want some more... Porridge and Carnation Revolution
;)
Hey Ryan, your videos are awesome. You’ve inspired me to go on longer and longer journeys each day. Love it. I did have a question though, what do you do with your empty cans of beans? Just pack them back and carry them with you?
On this adventure you can add "No droppy into the abyssi"
Haha!!! Yep
❤️
Thanks for a very well edited video of Lake Tahoe adventure. Want to share a well known secret (haha) to sore muscle (goes away in 2-3 hours). Take 1-2 tablets of (youtheory) collagen (Costco), then 1 tablet 2 hours later. No ibuprofen no Excedrin. Sometimes I take them before biking.
Oh cool, I’ll look into that!
Gawd I miss summer....
Me too!!!
BREATHTAKING BEAUTY VIEWS COLORS SCENERY VIDEO WEATHER FOOTAGE LANDSCAPE ! AWESOME DEFINITION & DRONE FOOTAGE ! HOPEFULLY THE PACK YOU HAVE THE DRONE IN HAS A ROLLCAGE ? L.O.L. SOME OF THOSE TRAILS I WOULDN'T WANT TO LEAN OR SLIP , SLIDE OFF TRAIL ? AMAZING FOOTAGE , LANDSCAPE ! BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅 🎄& HAPPY NEW YEAR TOO 🎉 GOD BLESS YOU ALL ALWAYS ON YOUR JOURNEYS NEAR OR FAR ! ENJOYED !
Happiness is a loaded bike
So true
Continental Divide was a cake walk compared to this obstacle course.
So true! This was way harder
my favorite type of your content Ryan. :) happy holidays to you and the fam
Thanks, I appreciate that!
Your videos are always to the highest standards! What software do you use to edit them?
Thanks! I use Adobe premiere
Love it! Questions what equipment do you use with your GoPro to capture your shot during biking and running footage (ie handheld/ helmet cams)? Thanks for reading.
I have a chest mount to capture the riding shots, also a helmet mount, and a selfie stick for running.
@@duzer awesome. Have you played around with a gimbel or does the GoPro stabilize enough not to need one?
I haven’t, the new gopros are pretty darn stable!
The night sky shot was incredible--how did you acquired that shot--with a GoPro, cell phone, etc. Great vd! Thank you for taking me where I cannot go.
That was was a time lapse taken with a Sony Mirrorless camera, the A7s
@@duzer Thank you; you can produce some great photo calendars/t-shirts and sell off the side. What you see on your travels are uniquely yours, from your eye view--all original perspectives. Thanks for your generous sharing.
I have paddled all the way around Lake Tahoe a few times. My wife and I did it together. It was awesome and one of are best adventures. Look into the Tahoe water trail and Tahoekeepers.org. We would love to do it again but due to a spinal injury I had to have my lower lumbar fused at 5 levels and my disc removed ALIF, PLIF. My wife and I have ridden MTB's together for years. We resonantly purchased a Tandem bike and no matter how hard I ride she is able to stay right behind me.
Lol @ the porridge comment
Looking to get a lightweight backpacking air mattress. Do the expensive ones really work better? I know you’ve probably used a wide variety. Suggestions?
The expensive ones pop just like the cheap ones, ha! My latest is made by Klymit and I really like it
Are you as terrifyingly close the the edge of the trail as it looks like on some of those drops?
