We enjoyed having you! Welcome to the Florida family.
@@printerror I'll be back someday!
Very cool! I dig it! You've been a huge motivation to get out there! And be blessed today Ryan! Peace, love and aloha from Oahu, Hawaii! ✌
@@havefunandbikestuff Thank you!
This is Korea. This video is a lot of inspiration.
Korea, a small country in Asia where I live, has entered the ranks of advanced countries by accepting Western culture.
However, in Korea, there is too little environment to gain communication between people.
We had a lot of cultures where we could interact with each other before we started economic development.
It was only 30 years ago. We Koreans forgot all that and focused solely on developing the economy.
Material development but no romance. No memories. Watching this video today, I'm envious. It's beautiful that daytime
It is beautiful that strangers gather and make fun memories.
Bikepacking on a fixie?? Madness. Must be pretty mind blowing to go to an event and have multiple people tell you youre the reason they got into it. The amount of gratitude and love you put out into the world is inspiring, always enjoy your videos.
Florida is flat
@@seanflorian4653 sugar sand defies elevation and gravity 😂
It's not a fixie, it has a gear box with belt drive.
10:15 hes talking to a guy named Corey and they talk about how Corey is riding a fixed gear. Not talking about Ryans bike, Im aware of the pinion drive train
I’ve known Corey for years. It’s what he does. He’s done all sorts of expeditions on singlespeed/fixed
As a former native of FLA, it is great to see someone highlighting the real Florida and not a theme park.
This is better than any theme park!
I agree. I visited my grandparents in Florida when I was a kid and the only things I didn’t like about it were the hot humidity and the cockroaches the size of a horse (or so they seemed). If you could erase or ignore the news and politics and if you can endure the humidity and roaches, it’s really a beautiful state!
Ryan you inspired so many people, that is your mission
Love how everyone here knows who you are and is inspired by your content.
Bikepacking legend Duzer is
Karlos is an absolute legend, but so are you Ryan...thanks for coming to FL.
He sure is! I loved meeting him
You're a legend Ryan, on the metro here in Los Angeles, another cyclist saw me and my puppy Carmella and started talking. He mentioned you and of course John and Mira.
Oh wow, that's so cool! Give Carmella a hug from crazy Uncle Duzer ;)
Awesomeness!! Thanks for participating in and featuring one of my state's best biking adventurers! I saw a couple of my Florida bikepacking friends in the video. Glad you were able to attend. I've done the Huracan a couple of times before and the eastern side of the route passes right by my neighborhood. 👍
After years of watching your videos, it was a real treat to watch you in my home state riding some of the trails I'm familiar with. Love your positive energy.
I loved riding in your state!
@@duzer me too!
Ditto!
Ryan, its so cool how many people you meet that were inspired directly by you and your videos to get out and get on bikes. I am definitely one of them!
Happiness is a new Ryan video! What a great way to start the day. Thank you. :)
Yay!! I’m glad that I can help start your day off right
Ngl your florida series has to be one of my favorite series. Feels so down to earth.
This video makes me so happy. Thank you for showcasing Florida. The Huracan is amazing and there are many more rides out there that showcase other aspects of Florida.
What a cool route techie enough to be interesting but not exclude, cool community of people
Ryan, i started cycling more seriously because of your vids . I would cycle to the store back sometimes but now I go farther out and spend longer time outdoors with my bike . This year I am doing the Seattle to Portland Ride again for my second bike pack adventure . We thank you for the motivation to "get off the couch and GET OUT THERE"
That skipped section of Croom took me 2.5 hours! Love that you showed the shortcut.
I bet!! That was a lot of spaghetti miles ;)
Will echo most people.... Ryan.... Thank you for existing..... I like many, don't know you, but you enrich our lives with your spirit. You're a good human, and the world would be in a much better state if more humans lived their lives with your positivity. Thank you again.
Awe, thank you for the kind words. I'm out here doing my best to be a good person and to spread the love
I am so excited to finally see this! I am glad you loved Santos and Croom. Can't wait to see Green Swamp next.
It was soooo fun out there!!
Ryan that’s surely in my bucket list
Put it at the top of your list!
Join us next year!
So happy to see the little car makes its way to this ride. Awesome extension of Ragbrai and the connections you make with so many people ❤
Gotta hold onto those sentimental things
Fun easter egg; At RAGBRAI, Alan told Ryan "In case I get bored." (it was in the RAGBRAI video). When my son gave it to him back here in FL before the Huracan, he had a note attached that said "In case you get bored." 🥹
Ryan thank you so much for doing the ride and sharing it with everyone! You are an amazing human. Folks the Ryan you see on camera is the real Ryan you meet in person…. just like the rest of us. You have inspired some many folks to get out and ride and I thank you for that. The word “community “ is used so much in bikepacking and this event is a perfect example. It’s amazing how I met not strangers, only friends I have yet to meet. Thank you for capturing this moment and sharing with all are friends. Thanks Brett Hack for inviting the Ryan to this amazing event. Thank you my friend.
You’re welcome Seth, and I would love to ride with you again anytime!
huracan is brutal on the drivetrain. your set up might be the best for this.
I was very happy to have my setup
We were so jealous of the Pinion as our derailleurs clunked away in the mud. 🤣
🎉 brother you are a celebration of life 🎉, thank you for all you do and the shine and love you bring everywhere, bless you Ryan 🎉
Awe thanks!! Appreciate that
So excited you are or were in Florida! Humidity really does wonders for adding body to your hair 🙃
It sure does!! I had great hair days there 😂
Welcome to Florida! Those trails are my backyard, absolutely love Santos.
I was so impressed with your backyard
Amazing to see Corey the guy is such a legend of the cycling community
I stayed with Brett the day before you got there. He's an amazing guy with a great outlook and an amazing family!
“Gators” and “river crossing” in the same sentence is a hard no for me.
They only pick off the slow riders. Nothing to be concerned about.
Just gotta be faster than the guy behind you.
@@sapinva 😆😆
Caught that too; a million gators/chest deep river crossing!
@@alankolb7488 To be fair, there weren't that many gators at the river crossing.
This was a good video for a couple reasons. First, I like seeing you do something different. Not that stuff like Baja isn't great, it is. I just know that if you don't mix stuff up, you'll burn out. I think this was good for you. Second, while Baja is cool, this also serves a purpose. All of your viewers who might be curious about this ride but nervous, you're giving us a clear look which we appreciate. Bonus reason, what that organizer is doing? You could do something like that too back in Boulder, hint, hint.
Great video Ryan, really enjoyed seeing an area of the country I never considered for bikepacking! I also appreciate you holding it down for the vegetarians out there and proving that we won't starve to death just because we are plant based 🤣
It seems like more and more places are offering veggie options
Florida trails very nice. Hope you had fun.
I sure did
Your energy is contagious to those around you, that optimistism and enthusiasm is really shining in this video!! Really interesting to compare your Baja cape loop adventure to this one, and seemingly how much energy you can bounce off others when they are near. Can't wait for the next episode!
Ryan, you have inspired so many people!
I’ve been following you for many years and now you are riding in my very own backyard of Central Florida 😊
And I have never even heard of this bike packing Huracan event.
Thanks, Ryan, for showcasing the beautiful Florida wilderness and trails to the world.
Connect with Karlos, he’s always organizing bike events and group rides
I’m moving to Florida next month and I’m so glad I found out about this cool event.
It’s amazing!!
Just love your bike! It's fabulous my beautiful friend
Hey thanks!
Always been curious about the Hurrican! Looks awesome!
I was so impressed with everything about this event
Come ride with us next year Velo!
@@printerror - Would love to, but not sure where in the world I'll be. I'm flying to Indonesia next month to start cycling to the UK!
Definitely one day though!
I like the balance of your solo adventure videos and the ones with other folks. I like that both bring you happiness. Cool to see a different environment and look at all those that you have inspired (me included)!
Something you may want to suggest to the organizer, (and which you might wish to do if you promote a "Bolder Boulder 400,") is to also have a tenderfoot loop. Something that older riders and their e-bikes can do on easier terrain and with the possibility of camping at hotels. That could add a lot of entry fees to the mix. The key is for the tenderfeet to get to be involved, as much as possible in the group activities.
There is an easier loop without singletrack and river crossings called the ‘Lite’ You can read about it on his website
@@duzer That sounds nice. I will.
Love love love that Ryan is in my home state !!!
🤙🏼❤️ awesome adventure Ryan! Good to see you do this ride
Thanks Ryan looking forward to this journey. We went as a family to Orlando from UK in 2013 .Grandkids loved the parks but I got bored and tried to hire a bike. None available in Orlando and I drove out to a bike shop in Winter Park but still couldn't hire one. However I still have the Bell cycle helmet I brought from there. Its now a holiday souvenir. So I am pleased there is a thriving biking community out there and some great cycling routes. Guess someone didn't want me to meet one of those alligators !
I bet that was fun for the kids, but riding bikes is always more fun ;)
That's it. I'm moving to Florida. . .well for 6 months a year. Thanks for the video, I'm cold, bummed, and sick right now. Get me outta here!
Adding the Huracan to my bucket list! Thanks for the inspiration!
It’s a good one for the bucket list!
What a magical place. Love that Spanish Moss
I grew up in Chattanooga and have been in the PNW riding for the last 42 years. I really enjoyed watching this video. This video brought back so many memories of my childhood playgrounds: the Ocoee, Hiawassee, and Tellico river areas, plus Elijah and Cohutta areas. I loved it and hope I can come home and do some gravel biking in the Chattanooga/NW Georgia areas soon. Thanks for sharing!
Great video!! Looks like a awesome time!! I was riding trails in West Central Florida 35 years ago!! It was great!! Huge spiders and wild Pigs O my!!! 🇺🇸🌎🚴🇺🇸 😎👍
Great story. Great quality on the video.
Thanks!
There he is, Gary!!! With a smile as large as his 36” wheels! Love ya guys! Bikes or death, haha 🎉
I loved meeting Gary!!
This video is my favorite Duzer video of 2024, so far.
Yay!! Glad to hear it
Yay! More news from the Duzer, that is always good! Let's see them gators!
Walking, running, bicycles, escooters, green open spaces, electric buses, electric commuter trains and trams are all parts of a good transportation system. Speak up for improved transportation options in your city. Every train station needs safe, protected places to park and lock bicycles. Children and older adults should be able to ride bicycles to work, school or for fun safely. Stay active for as long as you can. There should be more options than getting into a car.
Yes to all this!
Well done Ryan. This is on my bucket list amongst other trails. Bless up
It’s a good one for the bucket list
I was literally just researching these trails in my home state this week! After being inspired to do a backpacking trip from your videos and here you are now doing them! Awesome vibes man. Doing great work should feel very proud!
Come join us for the 2025 Huracan!
@@printerror Thanks I love too. Have plenty time to prep!
Yeah!! Welcome to FL.
Hey Ryan, welcome to the State of Florida and all it has to offer. I live on the Space Coast and love this sunny spot on the planet. So enjoyed your Ep 1. Blessings!
You live in a beautiful area!
Very cool trail and ride. Thanks for doing this series, Ryan.
The C2C trail, that was mentioned, also sounds cool to ride.
I'm looking forward to the remainder of the route. ❤
Awesome video! Loved this, you wouldn’t think bikepacking and Florida, but this was great! Thank you for sharing~
Exactly! I had no idea that Florida is such a treasure trove for biking
Great vid! I live in Florida and I was registered for the Huracan this year, but I was in Colorado Springs experiencing the snow storm you showed in your video!
That’s so funny!! I was glad to have missed the storm
Loving this video partially because you are riding in our backyard. Love the Withlacoochee bike trail and The Burger Station. Great stop in Hernando, FL. I didn't even know this race existed. Thanks for taking us along on this journey.
@duzer thank you so much for another ripple of goodness to our lives. For some reason these types of scenarios remind me of the old boundless series but focused on the the community as well as the event. So beautiful to see and feel a measure the effects of your lifestyle modeling. Get Out There!! So good, so grateful
Hoping your book be on audible at some point. I bet it’s amazing. All these series are so great, can’t stop watching. 2 the next video… 🚴
Hey Ryan, this is the content you should do more of with people sharing the experience with you.
Thanks, I’ll probably do a mix of this and that
That was so good and different sort of biking. Loved it. Thank you and take care, Al
I really enjoyed the change of pace
20 people talking at a gas station... More like 19 people talking about the other guy who got eaten by a gator.😂
😂😂
😅
Awesome video….
Keep living your Biking Dream…🤙🤙🤙🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️💥💥💥💥
Thanks! You know I will
I got to that point in Croom and decided to stay true to the course, bonked super hard and needed an evac 10 miles from camp. You made the right move! Im upset we didn't get to chat. Hopefully, you can come back to Florida for the Coast to Coast 😉
Oh no! That musta been scary, sorry to hear about that. I'll be back another day!
Live to ride another day B-man! Sorry we missed you!
Ryan, Florida Man. 😆
I heard about him 😂😂
Oh What Fun ! I love to see people having a good time where ever they are and whatever age they are❤
I hear you!! It was a joyful starting line
This is cool I'm actually getting prepared to try and do the entire Florida area. The Florida loop I call it.
This looks like a great adventure and such cool single tracks there! Nice!👌😃
I just started this morning my biking season here in Finland. -5C and icy roads, some pushing involved but still plenty of fun!😄Practicing life without a car (nearest town is 6km away) and hopefully next winter I will have tyres with spikes...
Oh wow! You’re hardcore. Spring is coming!
@@duzer Haha, not really! Just trying to survive and I don't want to walk to the town...😅
That looks so much fun!! Great video it’s fun to see something a little different from your channel.
Shades of Sweden at the end there with the rain😂What a ride and what a group of people to ride with, awesome first episode Ryan👍Can't wait for the next instalment😊
We get pretty wet in episode 2, stay tuned
I think some of my gear is STILL wet from day 2...
Thanks Ryan. I always look forward to your videos. ❤
I appreciate that!
Love your videos, and got such a kick out of seeing you in my (almost) back yard! Hope you had a great trip!
I did! Loved it
Great to see some new scenery and lots of like minded friends. Enjoy the ride and new friends. Be well be safe sir. SJ
I loved riding somewhere completely new!
That was inspiring and different! Looking forward to the rest of it!
Awesome! Thank you!
Love that you came to Florida. Croom is my local trails.
That's MTB paradise!
Wow, what a great adventure thus far, Ryan.
Ps: Those "Pizza Bites" made in the fire skillet, we call "Jaffles" here in South Africa.
Jaffles made in a Jaffle Skillet.😊🎉
Thanks for taking us through Florida.
Oooh! I like your word for it!!
Wow! Great vid. Would love to be riding there right now. Snowy and cold in Montana right now. Thanks for sharing 👍.
It was nice to get away from the snow for a bit
Welcome to the neighborhood. Just spent last weekend out in Ocala National Forest camping. Love your videos!
I love your hood!! So beautiful
Looks pretty amazing!
Such a beautiful area! Love it all!!!
Me too
This is sooooo cool, looking forward to seeing the next part ❤ thanks a lot, Ryan! ❤
It gets sloppy in the next episode
@@duzerCan't wait to see ...
Our family has been on a winter binge watch of Ryan’s cross country trips
Love this one too
Thanks from N Idaho
Hey thanks!! Give the fam a high five from me
Was exciting to watch 😊
This is a GREAT video. Group rides is way more “your style” in my opinion. Challenge rides are great, but you obliterating the terrain with a group is amazing. Super impressed you did all you did and got the recordings you did. More please
Hey thanks! It was a nice change of pace to be around so many people
Glad you made it to FL! Wish I could've been there, but I had work. I did several rides last year with Karlos and the crew, great times!
If I lived there, I’d be Karlos’s best friend ;)
Welcome to Florida 🌴 😎I love bike riding 🚴♂️ in Florida during the Winter Months 🥶 a cold day there is a warm day here 🌞.. Amazing Video 🎥 that sugar sand is no joke 🤪
This is great, I live right near here and had no idea! Thank you so much for sharing this with me!
It’s so fun
Looks like awesome terrain and great people! Looking forward to the next 3 days of adventure! Cheers!
Stay tuned! It’s fun stuff
welcome to florida Ryan. hope you will ride more of the state in the future
I hope to!
@@duzer if it's down in south florida get me a shout.
Easy day Duzer I was expecting suffering lol but I sense your building up to it. HA LOL
Just wait ;)
Another great video Ryan! Thank you Beautiful Human!
This is so cool! I hope you are doing well and ready for spring Mr. Duzer!
I am indeed ready!
Cool trails out there in Florida, love it!! We can't wait for the socks yay
Full rigid Steel frame and fork, external cables, nexus hub and two speed bottom bracket and clearance for 3" rubber in both 27.5 and 29. If your trying to make it more affordable tossing a pinion or a rohloff hub and going cheap on everything else doesn't make much sense. If people are penny pinching to buy a cheaper version. The repair or replacement cost for either of those two negates reason behind a cheaper model. Everything is great until it isnt. I think wirhout reinventing the wheel the Priority Hot Sauce could be reworked a little bit to fit the needs also.
I rode this route last year. It wasn’t easy but it was a blast!
It sure was a blast!
Heya Drew, I remember meeting you last year! :D
@@printerror awesome!
@@duzer now I need to get out and do the Baja Divide!
Ryan I hope you plan to return to Fl when that cross state trail is complete, I'd love to get your opinion on it before I embark on it myself. I wish the state would do an annual RAGBRAI like event on that trail during the dormant winter months. I am sure they would get a large turnout, help showcase the state and help out local businesses as well. A win, win, win situation.
