That was great to watch. Yours ands others have inspired my to take up bicycling. I'm lovin it, even the pain of reaching a semblance of fitness. Is like a fungus, it grows on you.
God, looks like a ton of fun, wonderful scenery for sure, and to be with friends, geez what else can one want! Left California, now live in Spain. I guess I can't complain as the road biking here is incredible! Excellent video guys! :-) :-) :-)
Thanks Guys for the nostalgic visit to my ‘home turf’ - I lived in Seattle for thirty years and have a best friend who lives in Bend... So I traveled back n forth there many times... and camped in those mountains and soaked in those hot springs... Now I live on the edge of a small island off Cape Cod and it was so lovely seeing the Doug Firs and the rain and the Cascade Range again. Looks like a wonderful trip. Gracias y Mucho gusto! Roll on!
@@JasonF19001 yes according to the book she wrote. She stopped at the bridge of the gods. That's not thru hiking. Thru hiking is starting from mexican border and going to canada.
Pretty cool, ive taken the amtrak a couple times its way better than flying, looks really nice out on the west coast. If someone moved out west, cold turkey, where would you recommend? I like biking, hockey, baseball,
Great film. Loved the edits. Was there a 4th person filming the whole time? It must have taken a long time to set up the shots. Well done. Really got the feeling of being along for the trip with you!
The number of different types of shots and angles are incredible. Definitely one of the best cycling videos I've ever seen. I also ride a Willard 4 so it was cool to see another one.
Met a same kind of dudes from Germany who were doing same stuffs all over the srilanka and other countries too. Wish I had enough resources to this kinda stuffs.
Outside of mountain bike trails and rail trails, It's becoming harder and harder to find enjoyable rustic routes away from city traffic and congestion to cycle on. Cars are everywhere, and on my daily commute to work I fear for my life, always.
If you love biking trails check out the Rails To Trails Conservancy. They support trails all over the US. They are also trying to build a cross country trail network. That would be an interesting cross country ride.
You took the train to Portland?? You could have rode Seattle to Packwood, over to the Columbia Gorge then to Portland. You'd have got strong tailwinds in the Gorge.
Electric bicycles make riding more doable for older adults. I have seen many older adults get back into riding after purchasing an ebike. Maybe they don't hit the back trails but they are out on their bikes enjoying some healthy exercise.
LOL... putting your bicycles on a train and heading to Portland is not Bikepacking... That is just a really expensive train ride. The actual cycling route from Seattle to Bend is gorgeous.
@@dba4a6d76 Hello.. i rode over 5k miles last year so i feel qualified to give an opinion. There is no hate involved, Pointing out a fact is just pointing out a fact. Much love and big HUG... ride safely..
Hi Charlie! We rode the Oregon Cascading Rivers Scenic Bikeway (traveloregon.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/bicycling/road-biking/cascading-rivers-scenic-bikeway/), which follows the Clackamas River to Detroit Lake, then took Highway 20 into Bend. We found a few gravel diversions, but pretty much stayed on the Scenic Bikeway. It was absolutely beautiful and made us want to do the other Scenic Bikeways in Oregon! Cheers!
The overpriced "loge" motel in Bend does little things like that to be able to charge more than they would get if they were just nirmal. It is cool but...
The only thing I don't like about videos like this is they are a bit misleading, either you had a car with you or another biker to help you do your filming? Where is your map of telling us the path you took? It's a beautifully done production and it does inspire people like me to get out there and do stuff like this but after getting out and doing that there is soooooo much more that is needed to do a trip like this, and I just would like it if you would go into those details.
Idk ... Just check out my music video of me bike packing .. I traveled for 3 years after starting in king county.. Ive been an avid bike rider since before I was a Seattle Times paper boy... th-cam.com/video/IeRoXujMP9I/w-d-xo.html
wish i had money for a dope bike, dope gear,, and wish i just had some damn friends... especially friends who also liked biking would be a huge plus...
meet up with fellow cyclists in your area and do a trip together! you don't need a fancy new gravel bike either, buy an old steel rigid MTB, put some drop bars on if you like and off you go!
I'll second Luminous. Shop thrift stores or craigslist for older (eg. 90s) MTB or "hybrid" bikes. I've bought several high quality bikes for $50-$100. Buy good brands, like Trek and GT. You don't need to spend a lot. And old camera bags that nobody uses anymore can make great cycling bags.
Raleigh is one of our brand friends (we're a hotel for outdoor lovers that finds old hotels in awesome outdoor towns and renovates them) so Raleigh hooked us up with bikes for this one! Cheers!
Love this video! Planning a trip like this now! Any chance you will bring a loge lodge to coloRADo? I know someone who could help you scout / build / run one!
Thanks Jonathan! We're currently working on new LOGE Camps locations in Breckenridge and Estes Park, Colorado! Our goal is to have them open this Summer! Cheers
Makes me wish I was young again. Cherish these times youngsters.
You can ride at almost any age. Just try!

Seattle to Bend? They immediately took a train 170 mi 😂 Love the video though!!! Inspires me to plan my own bikepack trip
Kind of like Cheryl "Strayed" hiked the PCT.
Jason Ford she did hike it just not thru hike
@@Minsang1st Not according to the book she wrote.
@@JasonF19001 yes according to the book she wrote. She stopped at the bridge of the gods. That's not thru hiking. Thru hiking is starting from mexican border and going to canada.
@@Minsang1st So she hiked part of it.
The song's by Mirriam Makeba Pata Pata 😝 I'm South African. 'Twas a great surprise
I spent two months in Eugene, OR. Also visited Portland. That State in amazing. It was during winter, but unforgettable experience.
Heeeeyyy!! "PATA-PATA"... Great theme to begin this video.. Dance a lot here in Panamá in the '60s
One of my desire today is having a bicycle and do like what you do.
Really enjoyed this! Thanks from Australia 👍🚴🏼♂️
Thanks so much guys!!
Amazing video. Amazing journey. Beautiful.
Thanks so much! We had a blast :)
Incredible scenery and videography, I like it
This was sooooo good. Made me grin the entire time.
Super sympathique vôtre randonnée en vélo.
Hello from Paris ❤️
Pretty cool, ive taken the amtrak a couple times its way better than flying, looks really nice out on the west coast. If someone moved out west, cold turkey, where would you recommend? I like biking, hockey, baseball,
Great film. Loved the edits. Was there a 4th person filming the whole time? It must have taken a long time to set up the shots. Well done. Really got the feeling of being along for the trip with you!
There was a 4th person! Garret crushed it filming and editing this piece!
I love your videos guys. Thank you for sharing. Thumbs up for you. I’m a sub.
The intro reminds me of mama Africa, Ms Makeba.
Great content guys, keep it up
I just want to jump on my bike now and do a tour. Great vid
Thanks Dennis!
The number of different types of shots and angles are incredible. Definitely one of the best cycling videos I've ever seen. I also ride a Willard 4 so it was cool to see another one.
Hope i will do these type of adventures with my friend in near future ☺
Buen video, muy lindos paisajes, felicitaciones.
I miss the Pacific Northwest, great scenery, fresh air but don't miss the rain. Loge French for Lodge!
Met a same kind of dudes from Germany who were doing same stuffs all over the srilanka and other countries too. Wish I had enough resources to this kinda stuffs.
Beautiful scenary ❤️❤️❤️
It sure is great to find all that dry fire wood in a water soaked forest.
I live in Salem Oregon and need more cycling friends. lol
Cool, although clearly there were 4 people, what happened to the photo bloke,
Photo bloke is the unsung hero. Garret crushed it on this one!
Looks like an amazing ride!
Beautifull video! The quality of the movie is amazing, can you tell me what kind of camera and lenses did you use? Thank you.
Appreciate it! This was shot on a Panasonic GH5 with Panasonic glass. The workhorse lens was the 12-35mm 2.8. Cheers!

Hello from Brazil! Nice video!
Love Miriam Makeba song
Nice surprise
what are the front two panniers/ racks your using on that gravel bike?? Very nice!
They're from Seattle company Swift Industries! We loved them!
Don't you mean "Portland to Bend?"
Have an open mind and be respectful, the train ride is part of the adventure.
@@PeterPeadar Not sure how that was disrespectful.
Ignorant condescension must be part of your adventure as well.
@@PeterPeadar I didn't take his comments as disrespectful. Your comment, on the hand...... The title of the video IS misleading.
@@bathedinshadow You are right and I am wrong. My apologies. I was ignorant to make such a statment.
@@kathleenpovey333 I was in the wrong. I apologies. My comments were completely inapproprate to the circumstances.
Wow very nice. Keep it up
Outside of mountain bike trails and rail trails, It's becoming harder and harder to find enjoyable rustic routes away from city traffic and congestion to cycle on. Cars are everywhere, and on my daily commute to work I fear for my life, always.
Beautiful video. I enjoyed very much. Was there a fourth rider with camera and drone?
Yep exactly!
Love the journey👍
Awesome footage and landscapes!!
Thanks!!!

Hahaha we did our best!
one of the best bike film 🤗

Thanks Ageng!
How did you plan the route? Is it posted anywhere?
Did you guys ever encounter bears or boar in the forests? Did you take any precautions to deal with that sort of thing?
Wait, isn't she the Filipina cycling photographer in Seattle? I don't use social media that often so I can't recall her username but I follow her.
Nice video guys,
Have fun in ride.
You too!! Cheers!
Apart from flats, how was the experience with the bikes? They were all Raleigh Willards?
We loved the bikes! They rode awesome! I believe you're correct about the model. Cheers!
Did I see an upside down bike used as a tent support? That could be genius!
You did! Tyler is an innovator ;)
Look up the "Topeak Bikamper" 1person tent - comes without any poles and totally relies on your bike to errect!
👍👍👍👍💘💘💘💘🍦🍦🍦🍦😘
awesome!!! = 너무 멋짐!!!^^
really cool film. anyone know the name of the little red handle bar bag on that guys bike ?
It's from Swift Industries! They're the best and hooked us up with all the bags!
Was that shot by a 4th person or was it all done by a drone? Anyhow, good video.
Yep, 4th person! Cheers!
You rode past a bunch of free hot springs.
Ahh we know!! We had some pretty ambitious days and were banking on the one we thought would be open as a day-ender. Next time!
Good times!
Subscribed #999. ✌️ Great channel and video.
Thanks so much!!!! Happy New Year!
Dats cool 👍👏💪🙌🙏
So, how did the adventurers get back home?
Great footage guys! What”s the soundtrack? 🤟
Wow
How are you liking the Willard 4? Looking to get it for road/trail riding.
We loved it!!
Nice shots
LOL... putting your bicycles on a train and heading to Portland is not Bikepacking... That is just a really expensive train ride.
The actual cycling route from Seattle to Bend is gorgeous.
We'll have to do it someday! We fit this into a 3 day weekend but with a few more days that would be epic! Cheers!
Agreed. It's only bike-packing if you ride from your home to the destination and back! You can camp out or get a hotel though.
Sorry Rob...it all counts. Don’t hate

What equipment are you riding?
bikes
@@ジョンシナ420 wow.
Great video! How did you get the aerial shots? Did you use a drone, and if so what kind??
Looks like they had a 4th person - cameraman/woman with drone.
Who filmed the drone shots?
God job!!!!
Share details about your bikes please
How did you get back to Portland?
What brand of rain jackets are those (tall guy).
So sweet
:)
Is there a .gpx of the route to share?

Bomb ass video werk!
I'm curious about the hammock hang in motel at the end. HOW?
Danny Ringwald pulled the flat nylon straps at the end through the top of the beam and tied it off.
We put in some big bolts into strong beams and hang them from those! Cheers!
The overpriced "loge" motel in Bend does little things like that to be able to charge more than they would get if they were just nirmal. It is cool but...
Outstanding! LOL
Thanks!!
awesome!!! = 대박!!! 👍👍👍💘💘💘👀
Hello, is there a GPX map of this route? Thanks!
show us your bikes man.
which camera and which lens did you used ?
This was shot on a Panasonic GH5 and (mostly) on a Panasonic 12-35mm 2.8 lens. Cheers!

Came here to ask the same thing: please post the route!
Hey Luke - see our response to Charley above! We rode the Cascading Rivers Scenic Bikeway.
What month did you do this route? 😂
We did the ride in October! Cheers!
I though this was a bike ride from Seattle to Bend.Cheaters on a train.LOL
It's not that hard to cycle from Seattle to Portland; the towns are pretty close to each other. There's a Seattle to Portland bike ride every year.
0:40 they miss their bikes already
But, this should be titled Portland to Bend...
7 minutes in and I realized there is a camera man.
and at 8 minute man...i confirmed it
You MEAN cYcle touring with friends
