Luke's Bikes it was sooo beautiful, and the challenge only made all the rewards so much more gratifying. Thanks for your positivity, we did have a super fun time and can't wait to get out for the next multi-day excursion! I only hope in sharing our adventure that there's some inspiration for you to plan your next shredly adventure!
+karen mccarthy Great video! What tires did you use? What width? Were they selected for this specific trip or you use them as any condition tires? Thanks
V.R. Enigma - wtf dude???! You somehow missed the fat CHICK in the film?? Can I please have some props? Faaack I rode the whole way out there too man. Also, when you refer to YOUR SPORT, I have to say I don't know what you're getting at there, 'cause OUR SPORT is one that involves way less neg and way more laughs. And DANGER!! Don't forget the danger!!! We court that crazy shit - THREE ABREAST ON AN ACTIVE LOGGING ROAD - yeaaah we craaaaaaay!!! (insert evil maniacal cackle here, just for you V.R.) ps. Just so we're clear - that danger shit is sarcasm, we're not idiots, we're all experienced cyclists, grown ups even, (with an incredibly well developed collective sense of humour, if I do say so myself) who look out for ourselves and our riding companions. That ride was long and we had lots of opportunities to ride abreast for a bit when the road opened up for a stretch, but mainly we were all just riding our own pace and choosing our lines carefully. Fuck man, lighten the fuck up. Again, not sure what your sport is, but you should try cycling - you sound like you could really use to hop on a bike and toodle on over to the ice cream parlour for a sundae. mmm ice cream, what a great idea.. yep! see ya!
+karen mccarthy That can't be accurate. Whisky bottle and tent pegs + wheel of cheese and coffee making apparatus - all of them fit into the backpack? Please tell us if there was a support vehicle on the ride.
I know this video is from 2015 and the whole adventure biking trend hadn't really taken of then as it has now but frame bags were a thing back then - so why the giant backpacks guys?
"Waypoints is about riding bikes where people wouldn't normally consider riding bikes: back roads, logging roads - places that most people wouldn't even consider driving their cars." :| I reckon if someone told these blowhards about mountain biking their heads would explode.
Shane Devine if I eat the wrong gel... The party is over and the suffering begins... I cannot even imagine what wheels of cheese and whiskey would be like. 😵😵😵I would rather have the cocaine... 😨😨😨
John Dow We had a fucking awesome time for those four days on this roll, and I am afraid you may have missed the point here. But that's cool, you clearly have different priorities than we do wrt your riding, and we respect that. However, that difference in priorities may be why you seem to have trouble relating to our perspective. The thing about cyclists, like so many other very large and too oft narrowly stereotyped groups, is that we are not all the same. My friends and I, we crave adventure and as opposed to narrowing our experiences on the bikes in order to optimise our 'performance', we welcome new experiences into our ride plans - or lack thereof - on a regular basis. We do this for a very simple reason - BECAUSE IT'S MORE FUN! And also, we really fkn enjoy fine meats and cheese, as well as a swig of whiskey now and then - even when we ride, yes. And sometimes we ride just to ride fast and we even eat gels. But what the hell man, it's just riding bikes, no need to be so damn serious about it ALL THE TIME. Unless of course, you have serious GI issues that require you to only eat gels - that's pretty damn serious! But I doubt you'd expect everyone else to adhere to such a strict and flavour-barren diet if you were stricken with such a dismal health sentence... Have a great day Mr. Dow, and I hope you get your ass on a bike for a hot fkn roll right quick! ps. are you gonna delete my reply...???
why the heck is every single bike company trying to sell adventure these days? (btw..the flask nipping comes over really ridiculous like all of the product placement in this clip)
Of course people like adventures. But this film in particular is selling a very artificial form of it. If you like it, that's fine. If that's what you're looking for, fine. But to me, it comes over really really silly.
Pretty cool. My grade will be here soon! I can't wait to explore the roads less traveled.
Amazing stuff, guys! You took the lower route, too!
Canada is simply amazing 🇨🇦🇨🇦 Fellow Grade owner from UK with I had rides like this nearby
What a beautiful place! That ride looks like good fun despite the challenge

Why on earth would you put all your stuff in a bagpack the size of a small town?
edit: nice bike-tarp construction tho!

what gt models were you guys riding and what tent make did you use. loved the video. Thank you
I so want a GT Grade.... But there isnt a GT reseller here in my country which really sucks...
Ça donne envie de prendre de vélo et de partir voyager !
Fine movie. Cheers.
ohh mama, another explain video. there are people out there who ride bikes on off roads since decades, without explaining anything.
+Ste Ro Everything is a "thing" now. The vanity is unbearable.
I wanna cross bike, like now !
Beautiful landscapes by the way, except these logged parts of forest hills. what an exploit...

+Catcrumbs you missing the point G. Get back on the chairlift.
+ratched Short phrase, but so semantically rich! Nothing to add - the pics is complete. Genius!
Beautiful place and ride... Wtf are they drinking booze and eating a wheel of cheese for?! No wonder they were behind schedule, immediately.
Kyle Scully Alcohol is not motivating, it inhibits your ability to perform. You will never find a wheel of cheese and whiskey in a musette...

I concur. Those riders need to carb the fuck up!
