Well, the area is just beautiful and that building is so nice. The amazing thing was you all running into followers from England! It truly is a small world.
My husband and I cycled around the Cades Cove loop on our honeymoon....46 years ago! It was beautiful and we enjoyed it so much. We told our family about it and several of them drove down to do it as well. We're from the Cleveland, Oh area and it was worth the trip.
Nice scenic bike ride. Great to see all the birds and animals. You deserved this lunch at Abby's in Townsend after that great bike ride. Glad you enjoyed the food and the view. Fun video.
I love Cades cove does this no better way to enjoy all the breathtaking beauty of that special place. Thanks guys so much. for this Florida girl can’t wait to get back there and destress!!!!!
@@jennifermountaingirl we will definitely try the abbey looked so good!!! We’re in Plant City what part of Florida did y’all live in? Love your channel you and rich are living the dream up there!!
We actually see them often when we are riding around in Gatlinburg and then we do see them in Cades Cove quite a bit too. I’d rather see them in Cades Cove because when we see them in Gatlinburg, they’re usually in peoples trash, which is so gross.
@@jennifermountaingirl we have them here in the Ozarks in North Arkansas, but I've only seen photos of them. Maybe one day I'll get to see one in the wild!
What a beautiful place to spend outdoors. You guys are lucky to be living surrounded by all that nature. That lunch looked great. No way s small flight of beers would have been enough for me. I would have needed another pint or two.
Nice place and nice bike ride. We were in Gatlinburg on vacation at the same time you were there, but we were at the Old Mill restaurant at the time when you were there. Now we have a new place to go!
Beautiful country, never been to Tennessee thinking I better visit. Love the bears. The beer looks sounds good. Not into dark beer. Food looked yummy. Love the crunch of the tots, I still love tots. Yes thanks for taking us. Day complete.
Beautiful video! Loved the scenery on the bike ride! The restaurant looked amazing but my favorite Jen was when you told Rich “quality control”! A wife has to do what she can! 😊
Everything looked good, great choice,Jen! Beautiful scenery outside! So sweet seeing the mama bear and her cubs! Fancy that running into a couple from Norfolk, England. Beautiful part of England, especially the beaches!
I really enjoy your videos, your subject matter is always interesting, whether it be something local to check out such as Cades Cove, or a new restaurant or a meal deal at a club store. Keep up the great work and I will keep watching. Thanks for all of your work, you are doing a great job!
Such a beautiful ride. We have e-bikes we have not had them out of the garage all summer. When it is 100 here in SW FLA we don't ride. I love ordering extra for no-cook dinner. We do that whenever we go out which is not as often as it used to be. Thanks for sharing.
Well, it should be cooling off soon so you need to get them bikes out and get going they are so much fun! But I know how it is in Florida. We live there for many years and a lot of times it is just too hot to do anything outside.
My husband would LOVE that brisket. And I would enjoy the wings with that sweet chili sauce. The cole slaw looked so fresh and not too saucy. Neopolean Dynamite tots too🎉😂❤Dang😅
Different Strokes....my favorite is Newcastle Brown Ale. I only have one once a year or so lol. I've often wondered what a beer flight was like. Very interesting !!! Jen had the right choices here, and all my favorite sauces too! Really pretty restaurant o the inside. Ty guys, really enjoyed it.
Wow, 2 trips through Cades Coves…way to go 🎉. Food looked good. Thanks for taking us through C.C. and we were able to see 🐻🐻. I love 🐻, at a distance. 😂.
Another spectacular video. The scenery was beautiful. Glad you made it past the sow and cubs safely. I did hold my breath tho!! The music was a perfect choice and not to loud either. Rich's comment of giving you the view, made me chuckle! The view of him AND the stream💞 you two are cute!
The beauty of your bike ride,views were spectacular, the abbey looks very European in design. I still like tater tots,with garlic aoili,all the food was very tempting. And nice selection of beer. Rich is a pro at eating wings😊 Jenn you're head of quality control😊enjoyed your vlog,look forward to the next adventure
Loved this video. The bike ride was beautiful and the Abbey was beautiful as well. Both of you had really yummy meals too. I'd love to know if you could get a pan of those loaded tots to go. Those tots seem like they could be addicting!
Glad you did a good review of the Abby , we live in Maryville so going to Townsend and the Cove is close and we were talking about going here ...... be safe
What a beautiful bike ride! Love the winding roads, the Mountain Views, and wild life. Was it mostly downhill? I would need a motor on my bike to get me back. What a wonderful restaurant to take a break and have lunch with that view!. Great Video, Thank you!
Lovely scenery. The weather is finally cooling down enough to be doing more outdoor activity. Tater tots are my kryptonite. I love them too much, if you know what I mean, 😂.
Hi jen and rich! Great video, changing it up, Jen you were even wielding the camera! Personally, nope to the bears tho, they scare me😮😂. Have a great one!
Yes, I did camera, it was a spur of the moment decision to film during our bike ride. So Rich said, I think it’s your turn! I had fun, but I think I like him doing it better. L O L.
Hi Jen, OMGGGGGG. The tots and wings, and Rich’s sandwich looks delish, with the cold beers. Yummmmmm. Do you have any fear of the bears?🐻 I would be scared. I’m chicken.
You were too funny teasing Rich about the beer and then you lifted a cup, it was so tiny, I was dying laughing. Anywho you two just two of my favorite activities, riding bikes and eating as a reward!
Beautiful place we seen bear's in Yellowstone it's a nice surprise. Enjoying watching the two of you. Waiting for you to do the hot dog one Sam's/Costco
I really enjoyed this video. The smoky mountains is special to us. It's where we went on our Honeymoon 27 years ago ❤ and where we still go quite often. There's always something new to do! We will definitely try the Abbey! Were those ebikes? Are they fun and worth it? We're wanting to try them out soon too! Thanks for sharing! 🥰
Yes, they are a bikes. We have had them for about five or six years. We absolutely love them and take them camping most of the time when we go. You still get exercise but if you need the extra help, it’s there for you. And definitely check out the Abby it was amazing!🤩
Hellooooo rich and Jen We can't believe we see you both whilst cycling Cades Cove loop, we were over the moon to meet you, hahahaha we were a little star struck to be honest ~ big followers of yours ~ your little guides are amazing on what and we're to go in the local area's ~ We've had a real blast during our 2 week holiday in the Smokie's ~ we said meeting you two was the cherry on the cake ~ and made it on to your recent vlog ❤. Take care, With love Wayne and Michelle 🇬🇧
I am so glad we ran into you as well! It truly is a small world! Thank you so much for watching our channel and I’m so glad that you caught us while we were riding by. It was a pleasure to meet you! ❤️❤️😊
Did you stop along the way and pet any horses? Wow, those bears seemed pretty close to you. Hoping you both are ok and suffered no damage from Hurricane, Helene.
We live about 1.5 -2 hours in upper NE TN from this location. Loved your video and the music selection. What was the music title/artist for this video? Was it by chance from Epidemic Sound?
Yes they are. We have had them for about five years and we love them. You can pedal and get exercise and if things get tough, or the hill gets steep, you can kick in some of the power.
That was an awesome video. Loved seeing the bears and The Abby looked wonderful!
It was! Thanks for joining us!!❤️
Thanks so much. That restaurant is beautiful and the food looks amazing.
Thanks for joining us! Fantastic place!
The scenic tour was beautiful.
I also alway think of Napoleon Dynamite when I hear tots 😂.
Everything looked delicious 😋

Thank you!😊
Well, the area is just beautiful and that building is so nice. The amazing thing was you all running into followers from England! It truly is a small world.
It really is!
That brisket sandwich was HUGE. Putting that together alone was a feat
So jealous! Gorgeous weather, beer, brisket and wings. What more can you ask for?!❤😊
You got that right!
Beautiful!!
We're NEVER too old to love tots lol!😂❤ That food looked yummy especially Rich's brisket sandwich and the loaded tots. ❤😊
Alicia- YOU are CORRECT!!👍 😂😂

Thoroughly enjoy your channel. Makes me want to come to Gatlinburg.
Nice scenic bike ride. Great to see all the birds and animals. You deserved this lunch at Abby's in Townsend after that great bike ride. Glad you enjoyed the food and the view. Fun video.

I love Cades cove does this no better way to enjoy all the breathtaking beauty of that special place. Thanks guys so much. for this Florida girl can’t wait to get back there and destress!!!!!

Y’all are so absolutely amazing!! Love love watching your videos ❤️😘👏
Thank you so much!!
Great video. Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for joining us!
What amazing scenery. I'd love to see black bears in the wild. The lunch looked incredible too! Enjoyed it!
We actually see them often when we are riding around in Gatlinburg and then we do see them in Cades Cove quite a bit too. I’d rather see them in Cades Cove because when we see them in Gatlinburg, they’re usually in peoples trash, which is so gross.

😂 They had quite the beer selection!!
Beautiful ride and view at lunch! You're never too old to eat tots, baby!❤❤❤
So true! 😊😊😊😊❤️
Wow great video of your bike ride! How you rode while filming is impressive! Beautiful surroundings and bear sightings! A great day.
I still have a small amount of coordination…..not much…😂😂😂
Nice place and nice bike ride. We were in Gatlinburg on vacation at the same time you were there, but we were at the Old Mill restaurant at the time when you were there. Now we have a new place to go!
You will love it! We are taking some friends over there soon!
Love your videos. I hope to visit the Smokies in the near future. I appreciate all that you do. Have a blessed day.
Thanks- if you come you’ll be addicted!❤️😊
Beautiful country, never been to Tennessee thinking I better visit. Love the bears. The beer looks sounds good. Not into dark beer. Food looked yummy. Love the crunch of the tots, I still love tots. Yes thanks for taking us. Day complete.
You should! I think the spring and the fall are my favorites!
@@jennifermountaingirl I love the fall, what are temps kinda like then?
Mostly 60-70’s during the day and 50-60 at night. Perfect weather!!🤩
@@jennifermountaingirl yes that is my perfect temp I’m going to have to consider visiting. I love Dolly so there are many reason to visit.
Very peaceful bike ride & the food looked amazing 😊 So fun you got to meet more subscribers to your channel ❤️
I know!! Is that crazy or what?
@@jennifermountaingirl Yes it is!!! I still remember meeting you at Home Goods 😊
Man I love the bike ride and restaurant looked amazing, I know
I’d be scared of bears on that trip lol
Trust me- I kept my distance!!😂
Beautiful video! Loved the scenery on the bike ride! The restaurant looked amazing but my favorite Jen was when you told Rich “quality control”! A wife has to do what she can! 😊
😂😂 yes!!🙌🏻
Everything looked good, great choice,Jen! Beautiful scenery outside! So sweet seeing the mama bear and her cubs!
Fancy that running into a couple from Norfolk, England. Beautiful part of England, especially the beaches!

You never outgrow tots 😁 love your channel so much!
Awww…. Thank you so much!!😊
I like the music.
I really did too!
Loved this video. The bike ride was beautiful and the Abbey was beautiful as well. Both of you had really yummy meals too. I'd love to know if you could get a pan of those loaded tots to go. Those tots seem like they could be addicting!
I’m sure you could, they seem very accommodating!
Beautiful place and the food looked delicious! Thanks for the review!
Thanks for joining us!!😊❤️
Very nice.
We so love the Cove, go every year. Don't recall that restaurant, maybe it's new. Never to old for tots. 😊
Yes it’s new and I HIGHLY recommend it!!
Loved ❤the video. Cades Cove is my calming place. I will get my sweet Ken to take me soon. Then try the Abby. Yummy 😋 God bless all here. ✝️ ❤
Yes!! Definitely try The Abbey- we LOVED IT!!😍
It all looks beautiful. I'd probably vacation, hang out, and try everything they have. Too bad it's 8 hours from home for us...
Well if you ever get over this way..😋
I have never seen bears in Cades Cove or Townsend, how cool! Hope to get back there again some day!
This is a great time to find them, they’re fattening up for the winter!
Is that Cade's Cove!! Love that place so much!! One just doesn't see beauty like that in Florida!!❤😂❤❤
Glad you did a good review of the Abby , we live in Maryville so going to Townsend and the Cove is close and we were talking about going here ...... be safe
What a beautiful bike ride! Love the winding roads, the Mountain Views, and wild life. Was it mostly downhill? I would need a motor on my bike to get me back. What a wonderful restaurant to take a break and have lunch with that view!. Great Video, Thank you!
Very windy!! We have electric bikes so it’s pretty easy!
@@jennifermountaingirl 😅👍
Lovely scenery. The weather is finally cooling down enough to be doing more outdoor activity.
Tater tots are my kryptonite. I love them too much, if you know what I mean, 😂.
I am definitely ready for fall!!🍁
Loaded tots 😋😋😋 All of it 😋😋😋 Later on the fall foliage 🍁🍂 trip would put it over the top! Thanks guys 😊 🍂🍁🍂
Our pleasure! And you are right about the fall foliage!
Peaceful thanks for sharing the ride and scenery. How close were you to the bears ?
We were a good distance- we never get too close!!
All of it looks really good
I agree that if I can’t see through the Beer then I don’t drink it lol😂
😂😂😂
Hi jen and rich! Great video, changing it up, Jen you were even wielding the camera! Personally, nope to the bears tho, they scare me😮😂. Have a great one!
Yes, I did camera, it was a spur of the moment decision to film during our bike ride. So Rich said, I think it’s your turn! I had fun, but I think I like him doing it better. L O L.
Jen, that's a carb overload girl. Love the brisket sand. I have that same patio furniture.
Hi Jen, OMGGGGGG. The tots and wings, and Rich’s sandwich looks delish, with the cold beers. Yummmmmm. Do you have any fear of the bears?🐻 I would be scared. I’m chicken.
No, we always stay a very safe distance and honestly as long as you do not get too close or get around the babies, they are non-aggressive.
You were too funny teasing Rich about the beer and then you lifted a cup, it was so tiny, I was dying laughing. Anywho you two just two of my favorite activities, riding bikes and eating as a reward!
It was so delicious!
Beautiful place we seen bear's in Yellowstone it's a nice surprise. Enjoying watching the two of you. Waiting for you to do the hot dog one Sam's/Costco
😂😂we are still doing it!!
I'm a carnivore but I would be tempted to go rogue over those loaded tots!
😂😂😂
🌸👍🏻🌸
We don’t live to far from there we go a lot very good food

@@jennifermountaingirl ❤️
Are those electric bikes, my hubby and I have electric bikes, although mine is a electric trike. We love them. Great video
Yes, we got them about six years ago. They’re Rad bikes and we love them. We take them camping all the time.
@@jennifermountaingirl Ours are Lectric. Hubby has 1100 miles on his I just got mine recently I have 370 miles on it.
Those are so cool- see a lot of them!
Hope you have a great day
Thanks!!
I need to find this place
Such a beautiful location and really good food!
The food looked delicious and the incredible view. Is this restaurant open year round?
Yes, it is open year-round and I would highly recommend it!
love your videos. would like for you to say if these places you go are ok for handi-capped ok. im in a wheel chair.
Will do- The Abbey is! Thanks for coming along!!
Did you stop along the way and pet any horses? Wow, those bears seemed pretty close to you. Hoping you both are ok and suffered no damage from Hurricane, Helene.
We stayed pretty far back from the bears! 🐻 And we are good- just got a bit of rain! Thanks for checking on us!😊❤️
Awesome video! Thanks for taking us along! Jen, when you mentioned Napoleon Dynamite I about fell out of my chair! Hysterical!
😂😂😂
We live about 1.5 -2 hours in upper NE TN from this location. Loved your video and the music selection. What was the music title/artist for this video? Was it by chance from Epidemic Sound?
Seth Parson- With You is the artist and name. I really liked it too!
Those are some high taxes! 9.75%
Yeah, I know! Too high!
Are those electric bikes,heard you say you biked 22 miles,was that pedaling or e biking?
Peddling with assist when needed, love our bikes- have had them for about 5 years!
Hi! What do you do, when you come up on those bears beside peddle faster?😮
Stop far away and wait for them to continue there way, usually take 10-20 minutes max
Loved the review, but what was your jobs before you retired?
We ran a large wholesale/retail seafood operation in Florida.
@@jennifermountaingirl Wow ! I guess you know if it's fresh !
😂 more than you can image! We worked together as well. Did it for 35 years!
If I had a trike, will it take up the bike path?
No- you have plenty of room!
Monks have been making beer for centuries. Jesus turned water into wine. Having a beer in the old church is not a problem.
Agree 💯!😊
Are your bikes e bikes?
Yes they are. We have had them for about five years and we love them. You can pedal and get exercise and if things get tough, or the hill gets steep, you can kick in some of the power.
Was that a peacock or a Turkey you passed by?
Turkey!!🦃
I love your videos, but please consider removing the background music. It's annoying to have to mute/unmute constantly.
I really enjoyed the music while they were bicycling. ❤
This music was very fitting for the video. So you just want dead sound while they're biking?? Smh 🙄 That's awkward.
I like the background music, it would be odd if there was nothing😉
Jen, it doesn’t matter what you do, somebody’s gonna find fault. Do what you want, have a good time, and fugettaboutit! Lol 😀
Everyone likes something different-I liked the music. 🤷♀️
Loved the scenery!!!
It is beautiful!!🤩
