Just wanted to thank Francis and Justin again for letting me be a part of their long journey…getting to know you guys more was a great experience… hang in there guys you are almost there👊
Tremendo Fabián!!! y que bueno que les diste gansitos ! Vivo en Monterrey y moriría por acompañar a estos compas en un tramo. Lo viví por medio de ti...
absolutely - I could hardly believe it, Fabian looked so at home on the bike I figured he must have done some epic rides before we got to that point in the video.
What a day! I can hardly believe that was your longest ever ride, Fabian - you looked like an absolute veteran on the bike. Even with the sandstorm this looks like a really memorable day for everyone involved. Really really glad you guys were able to get some local company. I literally LOLd at 5:05. You guys could totally make some bank selling a 2B1W action figure set....Pump action Francis & Fabian - Sean & Larry complete with welding kit that pop up on the side of the road unexpectedly - Begloved Rob - Raul, complete with giant pickup truck and a trailer - Rob & Lou, complete with a chip & pink crutches - "BOOM" convenience store lady - bonus accessories include packs of wild dogs, unending supply of patch kits & useless shredded butyl, and a broken wheelchair
Also, the non descript motel with a number in the name (not an issue going forward as explained by Francis and a locust bonus pack for Justin! I think this needs to be a Lego creator set…..
of course, how could I leave out(*) robot legs Justin - I'm thinking "Aliens" style exoskeleton....laying waste to all gravel roads (*) - My excuse is that I couldn't quite tell what Justin had said until other commenters chimed in :)
LIZZIE! I never stop reading the comments till I find yours. You must be so proud of Francis. No doubt his gentle, "others first" approach to life comes from lessons learmed growing up. Take a bow and pat yourself on the back for a job magnificently well done! ❤️
If I ever visit El Paso, I have to find Fabian and hope he will ride with me too. Especially considering I am the new, self-appointed, President of the Fabian Fan Club (a.k.a. FFC). 😳🤣🤣🤣 This is the greatest trip of all time and I love it when the world moves in these directions. ❤️
I lived in NM for 5 years (and a few months in Las Cruces). "Christmas" means you want Red and Green salsa, and they ask year 'round, not just at Christmas time. Glad you're enjoying the amazing NM scenery! The Land of Enchantment...
Fun facts: it's not just enchiladas. My dad worked at Sandia national laboratory and he would always make "Christmas eggs" for breakfast. If you turn south and go through Mexico to Guatemala, however, they refer to mixing red and green chiles as "divorcado," and instead of mixing the sauces, they'll put one line of red and one line of green. I'll take Christmas eggs/enchiladas etc. over "Divorced eggs" any day of the week; it's the best name for the best dish.
Strong work you three, and kudos to Fabian for doing his longest ride ever! Francis, try to find a good New-Mexican restaurant that serves chiles rellenos or huevos rancheros, and you MUST order sopapillas for dessert (puffy fried dough pockets drizzled with honey).
Aww, that's a heartwarming moment - "robo leg Justin" Some people might get offended or mean that the wrong way. But these two friends have no worries.
YOu've probably heard that there's a series of storms going across America over the next few days. You'll miss most of them because they're tracking NE away from Texas but just keep your eyes out and weather checking: you guys need to finish and safely too!
A ride with a road angel, and a day he will always remember, I continue to watch these videos daily as they never disappoint but in fact are always uplifting
The only thing this needs is a clip with Francis and Justin riding into the sandstorm with Darude’s “Sandstorm” playing in the background. You could even use the bit where the beat drops so the algorithm for copyright infringement doesn’t take the video down.
Always get the green sauce or green chile in New Mexico. Most of the green chiles are grown there. You'll probably figure it out but New Mexico is obsessed. They put green chile in everything.
It’s not new, and it’s not Mexico. Welcome to New Mexico! Land of enchantment! Here’s hoping you get a picture of a road runner while you’re here. And I’d go with red for enchiladas, green in a burrito.
I have just started watching these videos. I am often thinking about the effort and sweat stains on Justin's shirt but i realise now its designed to look ready salted !
Hello Helga, I love my TCR it took me a while to decide, but with some research and David Arthur’s advice on just ride bikes it was an easy choice. I’m pretty sure that there are better bikes out there but I’m happy with my choice
My sister lives and Las Cruces and they offer the Christmas option year round. I miss the awesome sauces. I hate the wind there. April is the windy month and they can shut down highways due to lack of visibility.
Great to see. Questions: what puncture repair kits do you use? I watched the kit videos - how puncture proof are the tyres? I saw gator skins mentioned. 2). Clothes. Any reason to have black? Is it cold? Any reason not to wear more visible colors on such a long ride? -I usually watch Francis videos. Some of the few i follow on youtube. I wasnt sure about this then binged watched it all last night. Fabian did well. - i will keep watching
@@Cade_Media no worries mate. Consider it my ride for the cause and when I got home I also contributed some dollars for the cause. Godspeed on your journey ahead.
@@fabiandelacueva1876 Nice to see you here in the comments! I was hoping you'd pop in! THANK YOU for helping the lads the other day, showing them a good time today, and being a great addition to the series! Congratulations on your new PR for longest ride :)
Thanks I believed. My comment will not be answered , in time when will u guys get to L.A and will there be a meet up finish line party . Would lik to be there , coming down from Sanfrancico. .
I live in Albuquerque. I’m going to take the day off on Thursday. I can bring you some aid and supplies. I’m not sure how this works on TH-cam but if you want to message me where you’ll be riding I’ll drive out and bring you whatever you need. My name is George. I’m a commuter and weekend warrior.
Actually it looks like Friday you’re going to be up this north. If you come through here. I’ll wait until I hear from you to request the day off. I’m a teacher.
In previous comments, Francis said they wash it in the shower every day. And if you have ever bike toured, you know they probably go to bed around 8 every night. So exhausting.

Congrats to your longest ride!

You are a road angel, Fabian!
You are a legend Fabian, congratulations on your longest ride 👍
What a great guy Fabian is , your good deeds will be rewarded I'm sure 👍🏽 Great bike too
My favorite thing about today was hearing it was Fabian's longest ride to date. That's awesome, he's a true friend and fan.
absolutely - I could hardly believe it, Fabian looked so at home on the bike I figured he must have done some epic rides before we got to that point in the video.
How far was it?
@@code3xiv We'll find out when this ride hits Francis' Komoot, if they dont tell us sooner.
According to Francis‘ komoot it was 93,6 km with 580m of elevation.
58.16 miles! Absolute legend Fabian. Keep it going!
So great that Fabian along for the ride today, also really cool that he got some awesome shots of Justin and Francis riding together 👍🏻
You gotta give our homeboi Fabian an Attacus jersey.
It was so very cool to see the pair of you riding, filmed by Fabian. I think that’s a first, isn’t it? And yay Fabian.
they must have gone to some effort to get that shot!

I'll buy the boxed set!!
DC Great idea! 🤩 And don’t forget some Francis & Justin embossed duct tape! 😉x

Fabian is HIM. What a gracious and sensible dude. Him owning a Giant TCR says it all.
I'm going to be sad when this series is over, keep on going guys!
Exactly what I thought when, at the start of the video, I saw the route map and the current location... They're about 2/3 of the way.
It seems that all good stuff comes to an end
Fabian you legend!! Wish I could join.
Love from MN

Welldone Fabian for sticking by the guys through that sand storm. 👍
God bless Fabian. A true American good guy.
Nice one Fabian. Great ride.
I lived in NM for 5 years (and a few months in Las Cruces). "Christmas" means you want Red and Green salsa, and they ask year 'round, not just at Christmas time. Glad you're enjoying the amazing NM scenery! The Land of Enchantment...
Good that Fabian got the full Justin and Francis ride experience. Maybe Mattel could sponsor you with a range of action figures you've got three now.
Humble. Listen more than speak. Giving nature. Helpful. Kind. Strive to be like Fabian.
You rocked it Fabian! Respecto!
Fabian is 100% No.1 guest star of the trip so far (no offence to the others)! What a man.
Fun facts: it's not just enchiladas. My dad worked at Sandia national laboratory and he would always make "Christmas eggs" for breakfast.

Wow... 2 months with no washing the dishes, putting the bins out. Just easy hotel/motel life! Keep up the great work, love the vids.
yeah they are really taking it easy aren't they? :)

Chile relleno a taco and an enchilada was their plate.

But these two friends have no worries.
man I wasn't quite sure what I heard there. Was it really robot leg justin is awesome and hilarious since it was well meant and received :)
What an incredible guy, and so glad you had company for this segment!
Thank you Fabian for giving the lads company!!
Pump Action Fabian with delicate wrist action 😂 You have meet some very nice people on this road trip.
A bit like in any epic novel in the history of literature, it's the side characters like Fabian that we shall remember for years to come.
YOu've probably heard that there's a series of storms going across America over the next few days. You'll miss most of them because they're tracking NE away from Texas but just keep your eyes out and weather checking: you guys need to finish and safely too!
They're going to have a massive headwind today if they're going to Deming, which I assume they are.
Christmas style is year round my man. It’s red and green mixed.
Shout out to Fabian on the longest ride!
There should be a rule that if you are going to join them, you have to carry panniers with at least 15 kilos of rocks or snacks
Who would eat rocks? 😂
Justin's hand colour is great... great tan lines.
A ride with a road angel, and a day he will always remember, I continue to watch these videos daily as they never disappoint but in fact are always uplifting
Gansito! SuperLike!
Fabian is the absolute man
Shouts to Fabian, what a ledge.
Awesome ride Fabian!!!
Day 34. Buenos Dias New Mexico! The theme's the Team: Justin, Fabian Francis 👏👏👏
"do you need your tires done?" 😂😂😂
omg I was rolling
Enjoy each day of your videos- and my non-cycling wife loves them too!
Oh its the amazing guy from Day 32 Fabian 🤙🤙🤙
Glad you got to experience RED OR GREEN
RESPECT TO FABIEN !!!

And Pump-Action Fabian should come with glow sticks.

@@AntonTuuliaho YES!!!! Someone call Hasbro!

What can I say. I just bow down to the Fabian the Great.
Cool seeing some maintenance inbetween ride days. On the next rest day you could make a video on maintenance during bikebacking
You guys are awesome... I am really enjoying your ride..
the series that just keeps on giving
This is the best christmas series ever!
It’s not new, and it’s not Mexico. Welcome to New Mexico! Land of enchantment!
Here’s hoping you get a picture of a road runner while you’re here.
And I’d go with red for enchiladas, green in a burrito.
Kudos to Fabian
Oh cool day 34
I have just started watching these videos. I am often thinking about the effort and sweat stains on Justin's shirt but i realise now its designed to look ready salted !
Yay Fabian 🎉
As Gatorade decided not to sponsor you, may be Hasbro will sponsor you with a set of action figures and some of the profits going to Get Kids Going
You forgot this --> !
@@hunterwilk 😂
Come on guys. It’s got to be called the ‘Francis & Drake’ show now. Nice change of scenery.
Best bit about lunch times
Solid Fabian!
Hey Fabian , how you like your Giant ? Guys, you are inspirational and the highlight to my mornings.
I hope he'll join us in the comments. That's a beautiful bike he's riding
Hello Helga, I love my TCR it took me a while to decide, but with some research and David Arthur’s advice on just ride bikes it was an easy choice. I’m pretty sure that there are better bikes out there but I’m happy with my choice
Great job on your longest ride! Thanks for all you've done for Pump Action and Robo Legs.

Iconic episode
Good sir
My sister lives and Las Cruces and they offer the Christmas option year round. I miss the awesome sauces. I hate the wind there. April is the windy month and they can shut down highways due to lack of visibility.
Great to see. Questions: what puncture repair kits do you use? I watched the kit videos - how puncture proof are the tyres? I saw gator skins mentioned.
2). Clothes. Any reason to have black? Is it cold? Any reason not to wear more visible colors on such a long ride?
-I usually watch Francis videos. Some of the few i follow on youtube. I wasnt sure about this then binged watched it all last night. Fabian did well.
- i will keep watching
would 100% buy these action figures
Winds start about 2 p.m.
Uh, when in New Mexico, you always get Christmas sauce (half red, half green) and it's always available.
Gansito is not only mexican! I live in Chile and we used to eat those when we were kids so I assume it is a Latin American treat
Well that explains why I didn't see you yesterday. You took a different route than I expected.
Ah, I’m sorry we missed you Michael!
@@Cade_Media no worries mate. Consider it my ride for the cause and when I got home I also contributed some dollars for the cause. Godspeed on your journey ahead.
I'm bummed that you missed them - that would have been a pretty epic day if you had caught them!
I was hopping more people would join sorry we missed you Michael

BRIGHT LIGHT 🚦 🤣🤣🤣
Justin was attracted to it like a moth 🤣
"F those guys" 😂
Thanks I believed. My comment will not be answered , in time when will u guys get to L.A and will there be a meet up finish line party . Would lik to be there , coming down from Sanfrancico. .
“[censored] those guys.” 😂
Will you guys do a group ride when you get to LA?
When is my pump action Francis arriving?
Can I append a pump action Fabian to my order please?
When are you crossing Canada?😆
I would ride with you!
hahahahahahaha the winter kittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
Well done for not adding any Darude. 🙃
Does the dry bag still stink?
Gansito
Future Francis action figure!
Man Winter is coming... your way 😣

@@georgeevans1449 I hope it works out! Looking forward to seeing you on camera :)
I wanna be like Fabian...
Don't we all? :) The fun part is, we can be.
You guys rock. Question: How do you wash (Do you wash?) and dry your apparel every day? Question 2: Do you really go to bed at 7 pm?
In previous comments, Francis said they wash it in the shower every day. And if you have ever bike toured, you know they probably go to bed around 8 every night. So exhausting.
like you to no its -4 in the UK
"Do you need your tyres done?"
Good it wasn't an 18-wheeler...
🙌

You meet the coolest Mexicans in America
Did you guys leave Cruces yet? I live an hour away and would love to join. Going to be cold today!
Leaving in 20 mins heading along the i-10 service road!
Do you all carry tubeless darts? I’ve had a tire look like a porcupine and never used a tube.
Hellooo
Saw the thumbnail went 'F**k'!
Just a short Q. Do you use GT85 instead of any other grease or is your chain waxed or something?
The music is redlining. Might want to dial it down a notch. Cheers.
Have a listen to some “Maxime.” and you’ll hear he clips it on purpose!
