Deep Mud Ruined Our Plans-Cycling the Congo Nile Trail in Rwanda-Part 4

- Cycling in Rwanda is dreamy. The landscapes are stunning, the roads are safe, and there's always a pack of jolly kids chasing you down. I'm riding the Congo Nile Trail which runs along the shores of beautiful Lake Kivu. It's 280km long (170 miles). In this episode, we from Tyazo to...the end of the trail, kind of. Let's just say that a little bit of mud foiled our plans, but lead to something even greater.
Here's a really cool interactive map of the Congo Nile Trail: bit.ly/35T7ZoE

Giving Callixte the 600x and seeing his surprised reaction will forever be imprinted in my bank of happy memories. Thank you all so much for watching this series. It truly was a highlight of my life.
Ryan, you are amazing - your positive attitude and huge heart make the world a better place. It was a pleasure to meet you in Seattle and hear about your adventures - and my wife and I can't wait to ride our brand-new 600's. You inspire so many people to "get out there"! Come ride the Palouse to Cascades trail with us sometime! - Roberto
The ending of this trip was perfect! I bet Callixte took that bike out first thing the next morning to this favorite trail and thinking rock and shouted thank you to the heavens! Good stuff.
You're such a good human
You are an unbelievable human Ryan , so happy Callie received the bike awesome stuff !!!
Way to go Ryan, love what you do. Absolute respect for Callixte and so pleased he got a Priority 600x. Thank you muddy trail & Priority bikes for making it possible. I will absolutely buy one when I can.
Petition to start a crowdfunding campaign and get Callixte an all expenses paid trip to Boulder and bikepack with Ryan! He surely deserves it.
DO IT DUZER!!!!! 💖
I like where your head is at!!
Why not both of them in the Baja Divide or at least a part of it.
Calixte you are the man, and Duzer and Priority, what a story. This was one of the best stories ever. I am thinking what I can sell right now to get my Priority 600x, soon to bring one to Minas Gerais, Brazil. My Treks and Specialized will never have the same magic. Duzer and Calixte, keep the bike love alive, mud or no mud. Ride on!
That was so great when you gifted Callie with that bike. Made me cry. You’re a good man Ryan Van Duzer!
No spoilers :(
@@mountfairweather Get out of the comments then, not to mention look at the first comment
What a beautiful story, Callixte so deserves this bike, he is a wonderful man.
I agree!!
The look an Calixte face is priceless!!
Best finish ever Ryan, Congratulations Callixte keep smiling and I know you will love that bike for long, long time. Callixte you did a great job at helping spread your love of cycling and your country ❤️ Ryan you are amazing and I love the way you share your love of cycling and taking your love around the world.
Thank you!! It was the best way to end this amazing experience!
Dios te multiplique todo lo que tu das de corazon🙏
Couldn't have a better end Ryan! It was very generous of you and priority to give the bicycle to Kallie. He deserve it!! You gave him so much happiness!😀😀 You bring so much positive energy to your viewers as well!! Thanks!!
All's well that ends well! Well done Duzer and Callie! That's a gift that will keep on giving ..... and the story will be retold over and again!
It was such a special moment
This is maybe the best adventure series so far. I watched the whole series twice!
"Do what?"
"... My heaven." - Calli
Another fantastic series/trip/production, sir. Bravo, and thank you!
The ending was so fantastic. I think Callixte could ride that bike around the world.
I hope he does
My wife and I wanted to thank you for your videos and wanted to contribute a little bit to your next trip. We loved how you gifted your bike to Kallixte because coming from Cuba we understand why he was so happy. Thanks!
Thank you so much for your generosity, Ramon !! I really appreciate it!!!
Ryan: your videos lift up my soul. Thanks to you and Priority bikes.
Glad to hear it!! That’s the goal
I haven't had the best last couple days, but after seeing this video I can't stop smiling.
Kali was amazing, love him, a worthy bike recipient ❤🎉
I agree! Such a cool guy
What a great series filled with lots of love! I absolutely enjoyed Callie's attitude, enthusiasm and joy.....it brought joy to my heart. I can't give this particular episode enough likes. Gifting your 600x was something I didn't see coming but was totally worth it. Cheers Ryan! Keep doing what you're doing, it's great for this world. Cheers!
I didn't see gifting the bike either, because I never thought that I'd actually see it!! Such a great way to end the adventure. Thanks so much for watching this series
Everything happens for a reason the mud came at the right time u got the bike back on the last day an made him so happy your such a amazing Soul man

Fantastic ending. Love that Callie received the Priority 600 X for his very own. He certainly deserved it. So heartwarming. Hats off to you and Priority.
I’m so glad that he finally got it
8:40 the load on that bike is insane... what a work horse! This has been an excellent series with such insight into the lives of humble African people just trying to survive with the little that they have...thank you
They carry the heaviest loads I’ve ever seen on bikes!
What a reaction, thankyou for putting a smile on my face and Cali. love what you do.
Smiles all around!
😭😭😭😭😭Ryan you are a blessing !
The look on his face when he said WHAT? Perfect! I'm saving little by little for one of those myself another yr I should have it.
I played that moment over and over!
Wowsa- what a climactic ending! Very kind gesture on your part, Ryan, and that of Priority Bicycles!
It was a great way to end an epic adventure
His face when you first said it, was absolutely priceless! Love this! Priority bike and the Duzer strike again!

Your gift to all of us is how you share the love you have for others and we are all grateful for your kindness in this world. Thank you buddy for another heart warming story from Rwanda. MY heart is full because of you!
My heart is full because of YOU!
Wow!! What an amazing trip with such a fantastic ending. Callie is such a deserving recipient of that incredible bike. So happy you had the opportunity to experience such an awesome place.
Thanks for sharing.
I love this so much, Ryan. Callie absolutely deserves the bike. Your partnership with Priority is making a big difference in the world.
Looks Beautiful Man! Even The Mud Was A Cool Challenge ☺️🙏✌️❤️
Waramutse! Great last ep, very moving love it!
Thanks!! Loved ending the trip this way
Powerful series of vids in Rwanda. The ending was second best to getting chased by the kids. Thanks for sharing!
This series has been so wholesome and inspiring. Your enthusiasm is infectious. Always happy and thinking positive.
I would absolutely love to do this one day. Such a beautiful country. The people seem so joyous, generous, hospitable, helpful, polite, and so much more.
Callixte is a wonderful guide, an even better person and an overall exemplary role model and ambassador for his country and riding bicycles as a whole. The planning and development of the Congo Nile Trail is a great achievement and a testament to his character, determination and hard work.
Couldn't be anyone more deserving of the 600x 😊
Additionally, can we just take a moment to appreciate the collective responsibility and care taken by so many Rwandans in the natural conservation, stewardship and goal to keep the country litter free. Sooooo many countries could learn a lot from them and this should become a model to follow the world over.
Thanks for another great video adventure series. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦 Salama ✌🏼
Hands down one of my favorite episodes on your channel!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love this so much!! So happy to see a grown man as happy as a kid on Xmas day 🥹
If you ever want to do a GoFundMe to bring Callixte to the US so that you can show him Colorado and your thinking tree, count me in to chip in! 🇷🇼🤝🇺🇸
Callixte is awesome he deserved that bike more than anyone!
Thank you very much for the gift for the African Brother.
God bless you.
I love your video's, and it was so fine to see the happiness in Callie'sm eyes. Good Job
He was soooo surprised
Such a Rwandan happy ending. Thanks for sharing your love.
So heartwarming.😮😊
❤❤❤❤❤❤ Loved the ending part my friend
Me too!!
What a wonderful series showing us a beautiful country and it’s beautiful people, and leaving Callixte a gift he will treasure for many years❤
Great video, God works in mysterious ways.
Epic! The best so far!
A Callie reunion ride in Boulder would be awesome 😎. Very generous 👍
Incredible video, especially the ending. I am so glad I watched till the end. Tears of joy from the expression on Callie's face. Great job Ryan and Priority.
Thanks for watching all the way
That belt drive will be perfect for those conditions, awesome!
Wow, what an amazing end of the adventure. Brought a tear to my eye when you gifted the bike to Callixte.
It was a special moment
Best ending ever...there might have been a drop or two of odd fluid leaking from my eyeball at some point. Well done spreading the Duzer love!
Hmmm, I wonder what that was leaking out of your eye :)
Another brilliant series ❤. The fantastic kids amazing 🙏👏👏🚲
Watching this series has been so much fun! This country and its people are amazing! Thanks a lot, Ryan 🤗
Rwanda is something special
You are F@&#$^G amazing! Such a great soul Ryan...
Cali is amazing!
Rwanda, you’re beautiful! Keep getting better!
I just seen ur channel and I love it, coming to our continent is even sweeter. This is pure love and joy it's about happiness. I'm fixing or will try buy a new comfortable bike, u have inspired me. Going back to the customs, that's what happens to most African countries, people dont work, no reason that bike should stay over two weeks let alone not knowing where that bike was. I work with customs here in Tanzania and its pain in the backside, they keep ur goods and still make u pay storage. I wish our governments could change this kinda behaviour. In all I'm glad my brotha got the good bike, I'm hooked on ur channels...keep spreading Love. Stay blessed.
Ryan this Serie in Rwanda is awesome, love every video and the scenery is amazing. Excellent job.
Thank you!! I already wanna go back
You are an amazing person Ryan Van Duzer. Thank you for all of your wonderful videos.
Priority Bikes. . .I promise when I have enough to buy a new bike it will be a Priority Bike. You guys rock.
Ryan, your heart is one of pure gold! What joy you have given to Callie with this gesture! You are one amazing human! So glad to know you!
Thanks, Krissy! It was such an incredible experience
Ryan....that segment of giving youyr 600X to Callixte got me misty eyed. 😊 So cool!!! Thanks for bringing us along!!!
Lovely
So much poverty and yet the smiles are golden ❤
Great video! Go Cali! Wow such a great and beautiful place! Thank you for the video!
Go Cali go!
The banana tree and morning to the view of green everywhere remind me of my childhood. But thanks @Duzer and @PriorityBike for the gift.
I love all the green
Great series bro....Absolutely amazing!!
Awesome video as usual. Wonderful ending with Callie getting that nice bike 😊.
Amazing! Thank you for being so generous and thanks to Priority Bikes. You almost got me with this experience (tears). Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience.
It was a very powerful moment!
Everything happens for a reason. The mud was absolutely meant to be, so that you could get the bike out of customs and gift it to Callixte. Amazing ending. The best one.
It all worked out!!
I have tears... God will bless you Ryan.
You bloody legend ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awesome! ❤🚵🏼🤙🏼
Awesome! Im riding my priority 600x across africa right now. Hoping i will stumble across Calixte riding his 600x on the trails when I make it to Rwanda. Great series!
Imagine John and Mira on that trip. Im guessing it would have taken a month by the time all the kids said hello to Mira. I hope Callixte has access to a Gates Carbon Drive CDX after seeing all that mud. Good job Duzer!
AWESOME AMAZING Rwanda series. Thank you Ryan!
Awesome gesture, Ryan. You should invite Calli to the states to ride .
Loved this series. What a beautiful country and what a way thing you did giving your bike to him. Hope you left him with a spare belt. 😊
Yyyaayy!! 🎉 I was so hoping calli would get that bike. You know it's in good hands and he'll actually use it and love it.
He’s been riding it like crazy
So happy for Callie. Beautiful adventure thanks for sharing
Simply wonderful! You are such a positive influence on humanity and for that I am grateful.
Aww, thank you!! I do my best to make the world a better place
What a fantastic ending. You're a good chap Ryan.
Great ending legend🎉
Wow. Great to see Cali with his own bike. Great Person. Send him a few spare Gates belts and how to Service the Pinion drive when needed .
Very heart warming, makes me want to buy a Duzer Cruiser.
It’s a pretty sweet bike :)
You win all your subscribers heart ❤ by giving him x600 this put a great effect on us
You did a best job.
Who is cutting onions around here ? You have a heart of gold Ryan ! Thank you for being such a great person
Man. That was awesome !!!
Wiping away tears.
Great series... thank God for mud so you could get the bike for Callixte!
True!
I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Rwanda series! So cool about the ending story with the Priority 600 X. Awesome!
Thank you for watching! This was a special one
What a super cool ending!
Ryan's such a great story teller. Lovely video
This has been a fantastic series! It's great to know that Callixte is gonna be tearing it up throughout the mountains of Rwanda using the 600X. It was made for that!
What a blessing
