We're traveling on the Trans Mexico route and eating as many Gorditas as possible! In this episode, we FINALLY get off the rowdy highway and make our way into the beautiful city of Zacatecas.
This is my bike, the 600x. I designed it with my friends at Priority: • Full Review of the Pri...

What do ya think about baby faced 25 year old Ryan? 😃I was vlogging before it was a thing ;)
You haven't changed a bit other than the grey hairs😉Awesome video once again Ryan, I'm sure you and John (and especially Mira) were glad to get off those crazy roads! I cycled 52 miles on Scottish roads today with no trucks or buses and very few cars😁
And you have come a long way since producing that video. Congratulations on 150k subscribers! Well deserved 😊
Igual de guapo pero canoso jjojo
Wow. That was awesome. Thanks for sharing this with us 😊
We all get older but soul stay pretty much the same. Thanks Rayan your are the best! Numero uno Coloradoriano ;)
I just came back from a bike ride and now I can watch a dog casually standing on the back of a bike like everything is normal. I'm so looking forward to go bikepacking myself and I'm soon going to be able to as I just sold my home and will move out of the city to a lifestyle more suited for me. Got to have nature in my life.
Ryan, my husband and I support you and your channel and I would swear to you that I've watched all of your videos BUT I clearly missed this one. I'm having a tough day today as a mother (so hard sometimes) and a nurse (crazy hard all the time) and let me tell you... watching this video for the first time is EXACTLY what I needed. I love your positivity and zest for life. You playing with this clown is absolutely fantastic and pure magic! It is very clear how much your channel means to you and I wanted to let you know how very successful you are at making my life richer. Thank you and keep sharing your adventures with us. We NEED them more than you know.
Awww!! First of all, I’m sending you a big HUG!! I have so much appreciation for the hard working mamas of the world! Mine is a huge inspiration in my life…I don’t really know you, but I’m guessing that you’re an awesome mom and nurse. You have to have a huge heart for both those jobs. Second, thank you for supporting my channel, it means the world to me. I hope you have a good weekend and stay tuned for more videos soon
Yes! Video Sunday!!!
You can improve your safety on busy highways tremendously by doing these two things: 1. It looks dorky but a sunglass mounted rearview mirror is invaluable. It takes some getting use to but you can spot danger before you become a hood ornament. 2. Wear florescent orange. Drivers will give you more room. I have tested both of these over thousands of mile on Central California roads and they work. Just try it and test them out. Good luck.
Good points.
1) Agree. I simply don't ride without a rear-view mirror anymore. Really feel naked and vulnerable when I can't keep an eye on what's coming from behind. And on the tandem, it even better with two eyes rearward!!!
2) Go further and use lights. I've used reflective vests for years. But now it's FLASHING LIGHTS 24/7/365 on the road, front and rear. Especially when riding through variable forests on the road where you're going in and out of shadows. Drivers are doing the same and their eyes may not be able to adjust to the shadows to see you. A bright rear flasher eliminates that problem. Today's lights are bright, burn forever, and can easily be recharged.
Happy roads!!!
@@dudeonbike800 LEDs are phenomenal these days and like you say front and back all the time is the way to go. I prefer logging roads these days behind locked gates here in Oregon. No traffic except elk.
No whammies no flatties no crashies
Nice nostalgia of 2005 cherishing old memories. Terric trio!!!! Perfect background music, like the sunshine music score.
What a lucky dog Mira is, he gets to see the world.
She sure is!
Dude that clip of you playing with those clowns in front of the crowd is gold. You're such a goofball and i love it. Great video
Thanks!! I’m so glad that I had that clip in the archives
the dog totally enjoys the ride
She does
Damn that popsicle looked good as hell😛! What a great city...so alive and friendly 😁
I watched your video before heading to my parents home town in Zacatecas, I had to visit Zacatecas city after watching you!! It's absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much!! I also love your mash up of the old and knew!!!
This series is the best, Mira always makes me smile!
Yay!! She makes me smile, too
Soy de Zacatecas me encanta el cyclismo.. yo viví en el area de fresnillo. Saludos desde Atlanta. Aquí hay una comunidad muy grande de cyclistas. Esta año me llevo una bici para recorrer todos esos caminos. Saludos. Ya me puse nostálgico
That trip from Honduras influenced my life too. I had already watched a few of your videos and was impressed. I must admit I was a little skeptical, was this guy for real? No one is that positive and motivated. But I subscribed anyway. Then I stumbled on you trip home from Honduras. You are for real, those children loved you and you can't fool a child they know.
That was the day I joined patreon. Because you are something special. Thumbs up always Ryan
IAM traveling in Mexico for the first time this week, but after i watched your recent vlogs I feel like I Ve been here before...cheers Viva la Mexico
Enjoy Mexico!! It’s a wonderful country
I have a dear friend from Sombrerete that tells me many stories about life in that area and all the fun to be had in Zachatecas. I would love to go there and experience the culture and food. Beautiful humans abound!
Always ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS - ALWAYS trust your intuition telling you something is wrong. Unfortunately people are indeed the most dangerous creatures on the planet - All poodles are dogs, yet not all dogs are poodles ☺️
I've been binge watching your channel!! you inspired me! I just bought a trek dual sport 2 to ride back and forth to work.. about 10 miles total.. I'm 60lbs overweight! the new bike will help take care of that.. I decided to go with trek over priority for the simple fact that's what my local mom and pop bike shop carries and I wanted to support local business.. ofcourse I know in the past you enjoyed trek bikes also..
Have you seen the ride from Honduras to Boulder Colorado. I highly recommend it. Good luck on your journey.
I just bought a Trek earlier this year for the same reason, except I’m about 300 lbs which is about 100 lbs over. One thing I will say is, if you’re interested in getting and staying healthy, don’t get too hung up on the weight numbers. Bicycling is one of the most efficient means of transportation there is - even more efficient than walking. And all the calories you burn, especially when you’re starting out, won’t necessarily translate into pounds lost. In the beginning you’ll see some fluctuation and stagnation (at least in my first few months so far), but measure your body too. If you’re as out of shape as I am starting out, a lot of those initial calories burned and pounds lost are converting from fat to muscle, and muscle weighs more per volume than fat does, so some losses won’t show up on the scale. Don’t sweat if the weight doesn’t drop off as fast as you expect or would like - staying close to the same weight for a while doesn’t necessarily mean nothing is happening.
But _do_ be aware that because cycling is so efficient, you don’t want to start adding calories like crazy thinking “I’m burning a lot more of these off so it’s fine” either. That can undermine you and it’s really easy to do - happened to me a few times already. Counting calories is helpful to make sure that you’re not overcompensating for all the exercise on the one side, and making sure that you’re adequately fueling your riding on the other side. Too much of either one is bad.
Good luck, and enjoy the ride no matter what!
With travel in Mexico I think it´s best to try to anticipate potenial problems and take sensible measures to avoid them and then forget it all and relax and enjoy the trip - kinda like you guys do.
Good point and I think this is true when traveling anywhere.
You got to look like you belong there.
Hi Ryan, love you channel, love seeing another side of Mexico I would never have known.. so amazing what you and John did to save those puppies..
I wanted to share with you a discovery although totally unrelated.. it’s a song called “ Colorado “ by Danny Holien, from 1969.. a song I’ve been searching for for so long and just found, I know it’s before your time but I thought I would share my discovery with you anyway!
Be safe on the rest of your trip with John and of course Mira, she’s the best.. I had a border collie whom we lost 6 years ago named “ Tag”, still miss him..
Amazing city… thanks for taking us along. 🙌🏻
You got it
It just gets better everyweek!🙂
I love all of your videos but there's something about this one specifically I really connected with. The pure emotion you have, baby Ryan, Mira, Zacatecas...it's all amazing! Actually went to Good'R and ordered the glasses you're wearing this trip to give my wife for Mother's Day (she's also a huge fan!!!)
Thanks, this one was really special to me, so many vivid memories. And give your wife a hug from me!!
Ryan, me da mucho gusto que estes disfrutando de la buena comida que ofrece Mexico, soy fan tuyo y espero que tengas un buen viaje por Mexico!
I have to meet Ryan on day.
Cool Cool 😃
Great video Ryan!
Zacatecas downtown is something else, so much going on all the time.
Me da gusto que vengas a México y convivas con nuestra gente.de Celaya Gto.
Brilliant Story Telling Team Duzer - The Technology Was A Powerful Piece To The Puzzle As Well - There Are Good People - Strange Things Do Happen - Cyclist Are World Wide - And Dogs Are Happy When Treated Well - One Of Your Better Episodes For Sure And There Have Obviously Been Many - I Thoughtfully Enjoyed Reminiscing With You This Morning - Go Team Human
Cheers
Holy this episode is as amazing! Less focus on the travel and I really felt like I was there with you just remembering what it was like on the first trip. Mad props to you, you have inspired me and you’re storytelling skills grow each episode. Safe travels!
Man I was just thinking of you! Hope all is well, Ryan! I hurt my back a few weeks ago, stretching is vital!
fact. especially the Glutes
Thanks Mr Van Duzer for sharing such a wonderful journey through the state of Zacatecas
Aloha Ryan and John I truly enjo these videos and it keeps me up to date on your travels. No doubt roads are obnoxious. I met John and meira in Boulder Utah at the junction of hwy 12 and the Burr trail. John’s recommendation got me to ride one of the best and most beautiful roads. Thanks boys and ride on. I’m off to cycle Maui and lanai next week. Stay tuned for posts from paradise
Very cool that you met John and Mira!! Happy trails my man
No crashies, no flaties, no whammies, And NO BADDIES
Mira is the perfect travelling companion, actually just sits there while you guys are inside eating. I would be scared that someone might take her, however.
Great work. I’d like to see you have daytime running lights though. Particularly with that horrid traffic. Stay safe out there.
Loving these stories Duzer.
Always makes my day when I see a new video from you
Thanks, this was a great day in a beautiful city
My favorite episode of the series so far! Some great throwback nostalgia Duzer.! You switched hair colors over the years.
Haha!! Yep, decided to lighten up my hair with some grey :)
LOVED this episode. Totally felt the nostalgic vibe.
Thanks, that was the goal
Wow Ryan! Such amazing videos! Greetings from Napa, CA. So you had my wife nearly crying in this episode. All those places in the city she remembers so well. I wish so much I would’ve thought to send you over to her aunt’s business there in Zacatecas. She’s owned a tortillería there for many years. Anyways thanks for the great riding videos 👍 stay safe in your travels.
No way! So cool that your wife is from Zacatecas!! Such a beautiful city
@@duzer yeah we actually both are. She was born there but has been here for most of her life, she’d go back and visit family often. I used to go there as a kid for some time out of the year. I spent a lot of time in the hills there on horseback with my dad. Good memories there, but things are definitely a lot different now. My dad is from a town close by Zacatecas called La Colonia Felipe Angeles. Who knows, maybe you rode through there. Tiny ranch. Someday we’ll go back and visit together.
Me encanta que muestres parte de Mexico, buena suerte !
Another beautiful video Ryan. Definitely empowering the spirit of living yout best life.
I'd definitely double take and cut across the highway to come ride with you too! Maybe someday I'll cross paths with you.
Me too. I would ride with them until they lost me
Highly technical terms so I just don't understand: what is the difference between a Crashie and a Whammie? 😂
Ryan, great nostalgic video and it warms my heart to follow you and live along side your experience. I love the injections of old pics and video. I can totally relate to the energy you feel and emit. We must share the same DNA :-) I stopped riding my road bike long ago because I hate being by cars... way too dangerous. mtb is so much more fulfilling, but obviously it is limiting to go great distances, except on certain few routes. As you speak of your trip from Honduras back through Mexico, it reminds me of my 2 college summers hitch hiking and backpacking to/in northwestern USA and BC/Alberta Canada. The time I spent doing this in the early 80s was very formative of my future outdoor quests and life-long desire to hike, mtb bike, dirt moto, love plants, and adventure. Thanks for sharing... enjoy and prosper😃
Man! I love your accent and intonation as you speak Spanish, which is very good! Felicitaciones 👏😃 As for the violence aspect for cyclists, again I have to admit that here in Brazil we face it in our roads and trails, unfortunately. But we must face it and enjoy our rides, because life is to be lived at its best. Keep riding safe!
Nice Ryan. Very nice..and nicely done video series too. Jaroslav 🙂
I want your shades!
Ryan. You motivated me to do.a east to west coast ride. I started in NYC and I arrived in Chicago few days ago. Now on my way to St Louis hoping to end in San Fransisco end of May. I felt like giving up already 20000 times but im still going strong. Thank you for all your video content and ty for motivating me. Dream trip coming true
Right on!! This makes me so happy. I wish you all the best out there. Enjoy every little moment
I used to live in Fresnillo, and I've been to those same places in Zacatecas. That brought back a lot of memories, thank you!
No way!! Zacatecas is so rad.
what a great story, amazing, I loved,.......................Saludos Ryan The King!
Takes a lot of guts going to that state rn good going nice video and greetings from Texas
Might move to Colorado
MUY BUENA ONDA EN ZACATECAS. Una cuidad maravillosa!
another fantastic video!
Thanks!
A trip down the memory lane. Awesome.
Not sure why, but this episode was particularly good! Maybe it is the combo of Mira, riding, daily stops, the big city, the connection to your past. But just so good!
You are on my home town rian,take care my friend from cesar fort morgan co
awesome!
What a beautiful mashup Ryan! So inspired to visit Zacatecas! Thank you for creating this content!
It’s a beautiful city!
Go to Jerez or Valparaiso during night
Great bike camping video enjoy watching you guys love Mira alot no crashes no whammys no flatties amazing saying enjoy your channel alot

These videos put a huge smile on my face
Thanks! This was fun to edit
Thanks for showing the stretching. It’s a great reminder that we need to take care of our bodies before and after exercising.
Very important!
Great video. Love that you inserted the old videos. Too much fun.
Thanks!! It was fun to pull out that old footage
Finally Van Duzer !!! You made it ro my hometown Zacatecas. I am commenting before watching the vlog I hope not to get disappointed!
OMG I went to college in Zacatecas city; I used to live in a house real close to that hostel! Such beautiful memories! Thank you 🙏!
No way!! What a great place to study
Zacatecas is fun to say. Having grown up with the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, as the municipal band played (15;22), I expected Don Rickles to walk out on stage. Yes, I'm that old. LOL
Haha!!
Dude the tent on the roof is sick!
I’m from Zacatecas but actually I’m living in Austin Texas I love to see all your adventures in my city!
Your hometown is beautiful!
❤️Zacatecas❤️
Viva Zacatecas!
We just want you to be safe and hope you have a good time.
Mi tierra zacatecana
Tu tierra es muy bonita!!
Yes, I watched and enjoyed! every second of this. Best entertainment for sure. Love goes out to you guys
Thanks!!
Beautiful sentimental episode :) Thanks Ryan, where will we all be in 15 years man?
Good question!! Hopefully still eating burritos and riding bikes in Mexico
Another great video guys, Ryan let me know when we can do another video chat, thanks my friend!
The review gave this one a nice touch! 😃👍
I was born in Fresnillo but Valparaiso has heart.
Nice!!
I started watching you and I immediately got addicted.. You motivated me to sell my triathlon bike and bye a mountain bike.. I have been out in the trails ever since.. Arizona trail, 50 year trail.. out here in southern AZ.. Even made a video.. thank you very much
Right on!!! Those skinny tire bikes aren’t nearly as fun as mtb’s. Happy trails Matthew!
Go Ryan! Love to you from Boulder Mountain Warriors!
Thanks Kevin!! Miss you guys!!
This episode was very enjoyable Ryan! Well done 👍
Thanks!! I loved putting it together
Wow you guys have the best of fun and life adventures I can't wait untill the next. :) :)
Another great episode. Not convinced that being robbed and possibly accosted would be worse than riding that highway. Ha. Gotta do what ya gotta do.
Haha, I hear you!!
What an awesome vlog!
Thank you!!
Man those roads are LOUD, but what a great memory of the place "Takkies" aka Zacatecas( for the lack of bad pronunciation on my part) 😄
Those roads are rowdy!!
Great adventure, Señor Ryan! I absolutely love your sunglasses ! They are the same colour as my bike. Can you please tell me the name of the brand that makes them? Gracias amigo. Pura vida from Costa Rica
Here you go! goodr.com
@@duzer thanks Ryan 🙌🏾
Love your videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
If you ever need another job, you would make an awesome teacher, hands down! Great video, great spirit, love your positivity 😊
Sehr schön
Somewhere in that town I found a firework maker. Best fireworks I ever bought. The only thing that made me nervous were the blackened walls, no doubt evidence of a past mishap. Mexican fireworks are not allowed in the USA since they are both dangerous and insane. My great grandpa used to make the trip to Zacatecas by backroads using a burro. He bought fresh veggies in the Mercado then carried them back to hamlets with small populations of indigenous peoples. My great grandmother was a native and so spoke Nahuatl fluently. My great grandfather later moved north into Colorado which was then still Mexico, or at least the lower portion of that state. In our family everyone marries late in life. My grandfather and father moved back near Zacatecas during the depression. Work was scarce in the USA at that time.
Wow!! What a cool story! I bet those fireworks were awesome!!
Great video Ryan 👍🥰 Your life is an adventure. Everyone's lives are 👍🚴♂🏝🎶
Love from Sweden 🙏❤(Give Mira a hug from me 🥰)
I miss Mexico
It’s spectacular
Niiiice 😁 G'day really appreciate the weaving of time and place. Never really been interested in the northern hemisphere BUT main O man Mexico may be a goer for 2024. Love 🌈 piece 🌍 and Mung beans for All Baby 🤠
Love your work. Notice you love trains! Any chance of a train hopping video?
Oh I’d love to do that someday!
Not related to this video, but this past week, my wife was watching "tiny house" while I was working in another room, when I heard an all familiar voice. I go check it out and there you are, on an episode getting a tiny house built!
The worst thing on those truck routes is the truck you can hear a half mile away and it just gets louder and louder and louder….please don’t let this be the one snoozing or distracted by text messages.
Other than that, great episode! Haha!
So true!! You always hope that they pass with care
@@duzer Reminds me of when I used to own cars and all the times when I, albeit rare, was distracted or tired to the point of reckless. Maybe this is how PTSD manifests itself? A bike that can transition to gravel is essential so collecting used parts to build me one. Got any? On the other hand if you’ve ever ridden an active logging road you’ll know that ain’t no fun either but I digress…cheers and happy Spring!
Buena suerte!
Gracias
watched that baby faced 2005 and enjoyed it!! where is your buddy now ?
He lives in Washington and has a lovely family
Hello Duzer.
I see you suffr the rain a lot.
You know there's a waterproof coat in decathlon in europe.
They also have rain pants up to 2 hours of rain 🌧.
Both very cheap.
Now of you can spend some money there's waterproof pants at shuster Germany made out of gortex.
100% waterproof and very thin very light.
Maybe you can find this on the website and order it.
Ir find the equivalent in thr USA.
No more wet.
I use decathlon rain coat and pants.
No more wet outside.
You do have to control your inner temperature in order not to sweat.
Hey Ryan just wondering if you ever going to get a companion dog for your future bike packing. What will you name him/her? Mira is the best!
A thief of any sort will always look for an easy target.
You carry yourself in a strong way, this is good. In Africa we know what the animals nature is, but people are a different story.
Stay strong and don't get caught in the crossfire.
I agree! Thanks for tuning into this series
