    I finally figured out what I want to say about this video. We as viewers sometimes forget what it takes to “set-up” a shot. Filming is not easy. Henry holds on for dear life with one hand and films himself as he “interviews” Ms. Cools. It takes extraordinary balance skills to do this. Try framing a shot and riding is no easy task. Second when shots call for both of them riding towards the camera or away from the camera a use of a tripod is needed. No big deal except for the fact that it’s time consuming. Going back and forth to first set up the tripod and then retrieving it. Then you have to mentally make notes of how your going to piece together like a jigsaw puzzle in post production the hours of footage in order to tell a coherent story shown to his subscribers. People think being a TH-camr is all fun and glory but it’s work and Henry is getting better and better. Look at production values from his early work 3-4 years ago and now. He is perfecting his craft. I myself would fall off my bike having to film and look and Ms. Cools shapely shape while riding behind. Keep up the good work Henry!!

    Wow so much to say. The redwoods were uplifting to see. The interaction with the guy running with the earth flag was great. Mrs cools bike is beautiful and those tires are bomb. The budget have huge respect for that. Definitely respect and admire the vibe you two take on the road.

    Calling each other Ms Cools and Mr Wildeberry (28:36) is something two characters out of Charles Dickens would do.

    I enjoyed seeing you ride all the roads that I have ridden over the years. I think I need to get back out there and loose a few pandemic pounds. I don’t know if many people appreciate the miles you two ride in a day or the difficulty of the terrain. I am in awe...

    Lovely film thanks. I was piecing the route and assumed mileage while watching. Given that you’r cycling area is so nice.....any chance of adding a route map and mileage completed at the end of your rides? Extra work I know and apologies for suggesting if not feasible. Had to play Van the Man’s ‘Redwood Tree’ after watching. Super trip. Thank you again.

    Great bike ride with abrupt ending??? Always glorious to see Ms Cools riding her bike with her usual casual enthusiasm
    Great scenery and good ambition in this plan. High cool factor here maybe even 6 out of 5 on the cools meter. I could tell Ms Cools was suffering bit from the cold at points. love the video guys please keep it up 10k subs is just around the corner now

    Hi Henry, I always need more layers in the morning, especially when going downhill. My strategy: two toe-clip straps around my saddle to attack rolled up jerseys when I take them off -- and a gilet in a cut-off water bottle. Of course you know all this. Best wishes, John.

    Your bikes are perfectly suited to those routes! I was following along on a split screen with Google maps. Credit card touring is a great way to travel light and spontaneously. And this looks like a good situation for wearing wool. Thanks for the wonderful videos. I wonder how you are able to record so well with the camera pointing behind you!

    Nice you went through my area. I usually ride along Woodside and Canada Rd. Did you hit Kings Mountain? I see you went through Sawyer Camp trail too. Pre-COVID it wasn't too crowded. Nowadays it's usually busy so I stay away from it. Maybe one day I'll go back. lol

    • @Henrywildeberry
