ℹ️ About the Episode:
All in all, this bike ride from Michigan to Florida started from the idea that doing something hard is worthwhile ... and it was. There were certainly moments of suffering, given the cold front that came through the midwest in mid-October-alongside injuries, crashes, map malfunctions, and angry country-road dogs! The ride turned out to be 1,341 miles from New Buffalo, Michigan, to Perdido Key, Florida. And not all of it was suffering. As we had suspected, we had plenty of experiences with generous, supportive, and genuine people who bought us meals without any prompting. They just picked up on what we were doing and wanted to show us out-of-towners some hospitality. Good people doing nice things-we come across these kinds of people all the time, but being in the RV makes us a bit more isolated than we are on a bike, so this adventure really showcased the generous spirit of Americans. The riders included Marc, Caleb, and our friend Bill. (The ride was Bill's idea, by the way.) And the whole thing probably would not have been possible-and certainly would not have been enjoyable-without the support of Trish and Wendi, aka Team SAG.

Great challenge. I’m 61 years old. About 25 years ago I led a group of youth to ride (bicycles) from Chattanooga, TN to the Florida gulf coast. The next summer we went from Chattanooga, TN north to Chillicothe, Ohio. We had planned to go North from there to the coast of closest Great Lake. But due to a vocational move/change we didn’t get to complete it then. About 5 years ago my wife and I, in our mid 50’s decided to make that last trek. With the vehicle support of her parents we made it and it was and incredible ride! So I wouldn’t be surprised if we haven’t risen some of the same trails! We relied on a lot of the Rails to Trails treks!

You at KYD have done a lot of great adventures and present them extremely well, but this episode may be my favorite. I’m not sure who was more excited about the bike ride, the men or the gals. Trish and Wendy were the stars tonight even though it was supposed to be a story about riding bikes a long distance. Can’t wait for next week…

Woo Hoo! For Indiana!!! People think that Indiana is boring but you guys showed the world what we are really like. Loved the bike trail. I don't live far from Peru and Kokomo but I didn't know a thing about this trail. And someone buying your breakfast in Peru. They probably were Insiders. But you really timed your ride at the wrong time. It never snows like that in October but you hit it just at the wrong time. Then in warmed up the next week. Good luck on the rest of the trip. I can't wait to see what next week brings.

I did an 1000 mile bike ride with my dad when I was 14. Back in those days we strapped tents and sleeping bags to our Schwinn Varsitys and rode out and back to my Aunt’s house 500 miles away. Caleb will never forget this ride. My only piece of advice, Marc, is if you stop for a break, don’t ask Caleb why he’s bought chocolate milk to rehydrate with. It’s a young guys thing. Enjoy!

You asked if it came across how cold it was, yes it did! I used to live in Ohio.very near Lake Erie. I could see and feel the cold! Those first days, oh my gosh, required a lot of intestinal fortitude to keep going and then along would come the snippets of Bill saying, “there’s something special about suffering”. Cracked me up every time! What a journey and the memories you will have! Great video, you absolutely have the BEST support staff!

@JohnSmith-bb7rt Жыл бұрын

There is a worldwide group called Randonneuring…very long self-supported rides. Seven years ago we did Maine to Orlando 115+ miles a day for 18 straight days. Most of us were a little older, but I was the oldest at 65. You meet the greatest folks bicycling. Recovering from hip replacement (one too many crashes), but hope to be back at least to 200k rides by the end of the year. Another ride you would enjoy is Six Gap in Dahlonega, Georgia. 104 miles up 6 mountains. 2-3 thousand riders each September. Enjoy!!! It’s a lifetime sport!

As an avid cyclist, I have soooo wanted to do something like this, but my gal hasn’t/doesn’t drive the rig. 36’ 5er. I would love to have done this, cold weather and all. Those conditions are just “sauce for the goose”! Make it more of an adventure that you’ll never forget. Cheers!
