I enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing. The background music was a little too loud for my pleasure. The scenery was great.

I couldn't help but notice the tune "resting in the everlasting arms" at 24:30. thank you.

Enjoyed the travel footage. I found the background music a little distracting though. Thanks for sharing.

I'm in Akron Ohio and I love the towpath!

Through your videos I'm learning so much about America and the trail systems and routes. But more than that I can get a vision of America for ordinary folk. I think when a country portrays themselves on mass media they miss that for the unfortunate propaganda and nationalism that comes over. I like to see ordinary folk as they are. Nice town you live in, even in the rain it looks nice. 326 miles is very respectable for a short ride. Thank you for sharing with us all.

Nice Vid. I also traveled the OTET trail in June 0f 2021. I may of passed right by you. Started in Ashtabula took the Greenway to Warren and cut over to Akron, eventually into Indiana all the way to ALbuquerque NM.. This brought back so many memories. I recognized most of the spots. The cool campground in Xenia, the Amish and all the road apples. LOL, strange town of Killbuck. Rain and sun and rain and sun, happy for the shaded trails but enjoying the country roads. Columbus was a maze so glad to get out of there. Akron was a pleasure to bike thru. You nailed it and covered all the bases. And you were right that most of the drivers were polite. Ohio is light years ahead of any state when it o come to bike trails.

Excellent video Brian, very well done. Thank you for sharing!

this is great thank you for bringing us along on your trip. Nothing compares to travelling by bicycle.

I have same ZPaks tent! Good choice!

Thanks for sharing your trip, Great to see it in a concise but yet informative format!

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing with us. I have rode the Columbus to Cincinnati section in pieces over the last 3 years. When you came through South Charleston(between London and Xenia) you were 20 min from my house. Again, thanks for taking the time to make a wonderful video.

Fun trail for sure

Great video! It checked all my boxes for what I like to watch while waiting for a snow storm to come in.

I so enjoyed this. I lived in Lakewood for several years and now live in Canton, OH. I'm a cycling enthusiast and have been on much of the towpath and even Holmes County Trail in Millersburg. It was fun to see so many area where I've ridden. Nicely done and thank you for posting this! I'd love to one day do something similar. Also, I didn't realize there are places to camp off of these trails. That is good to know. Thanks again! Blessings to you!

Nice editing and narration.

I think you've completely captured the essence of traveling through the landscape during bike traveling. Beautiful images. As a resident of the continent of Europe, it shows me what beautiful cycling routes there are in the USA. Thanks for that.👍

Great video. BTW, people from Xenia pronounce it Zeenyah.😊😊 Hopefully you were able to stop by Pied Piper when arriving home.

really great narration and information

Enjoyed the video. Lots of good information. Thanks

I lived in Ohio for 50 years but now live in northern Kentucky. I know about the hot muggy Ohio summers and feel for you trying to ride in that kind of heat.

Looks like my kind of ride. That's what I do. Nicely done video, enjoyed watching. 👍🙂

I really want to do this one day love this video amazing quality

Really well done video. I’ll keep a link as a second-hand souvenir of my own Cincinnati-Cleveland thru ride this summer. Thank you!

Great video! I live in Cincinnati and have family near Dayton so I make the ride from the Ohio River up the little Miami River trail to xenia a lot. Furthest I've gone is to Columbus.

Brian, your videos are great! Thanks for sharing your content and trips. Greetings from Spain.

Awesome video, Brian. Thanks for sharing your journey. Brings back fond memories of my 2021 OTET tour.

Wonderful video, Brian. I watched it all. There was great music, soothing commentary, and beautiful cinematography and editing. I could only hope to ever make a video like this. You also have a very pretty bike. Thanks for the video. I will share.

Awesome video! I rode the OTET just a month before you uploaded this video. First time traveling it and I'm already excited to go again next year!

Great video! I’ve been thinking about this ride. Cheers!🙏🏼😎🚲

Great video of your trip. i’ll be doing my first bike adventure in September with the GAP/C&O. I have a midnight special as well and have been enjoying it very much.

Nice video and narration. In that same June I did a four-day ride that ended up at Castalia, not so far to the west of you. In 2019 I was on bits of that Ohio to Erie Trail south and north of Millersburg and at our hotel in Millesburg talked to some riders who were doing the whole thing. It's good to get your take on it. My preference is usually for riding on the roads, for the same reasons you gave, but sometimes on hot days the shade is too good to pass up. And sometimes the traffic and hills away from the trails are too much. It's good to have these trails, too.

Gorgeous and well told.

Starting this trip next week! May 25, 2023😂❤

This is very helpful Thanks! I’m surprised how much of the trail is not trail.

Hey Brian, looks like a great adventure! Thanks for the footage :)

I enjoyed your video. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing... 👍

I really like the cadence of your dialog, not one of those people who talk at 300mph.

Loved this

Great video

Thanks for sharing. I plan to make a self-supported trip later this summer. It's good to know what surfaces to expect and driver tolerance of cyclists on non-trail sections.

Nice bike tour . Good job on your video .

Awesome. I do wonder why no helmet?

Enjoyed the video, have been watching videos of that trail recently. Like your video it was just right. You stated June 2021, was wondering a good time of year to ride. I'm from south Texas so the heat is tolerable for me but wouldn't mind getting out of it! I prefer no rain but am equipped for it. Anyway any recommendations on time of year, and prevailing wind is appreciated. I would think Cincinatti to Cleveland would be preferred. Thanks, also appreciate the ridewithgps file link!

Your right about akron being nice to ride thru , but you have to be careful , some sketchy characters. I ride it every weekend weather permitting.

You said you were not able to stay at the Bridge of Dreams. What did you do? Great, inspiring video.

I have to try this sometime. I love ohio!

I've enjoyed all of the cycling adventure videos you've provided on youtube Brian! I plan to ride the C&O and GAP from DC to Pittsburgh in June, 2022. Since the Ohio to Erie trail runs from Cincy to Cleveland it got me wondering whether there are any bike trail(s) that also connect Cleveland to Pittsburgh? Thought you may know since you're from Ohio. Thanks again for providing so many enjoyable videos! Your knowledge and expertise are appreciated & the information you provide is certainly helpful!

Excellent video. Thank you! I want to ride this and camp but wouldn’t want to go as many miles per day as you. It seems camping options are quite limited along the trail though.

Excellent journey. When I was a kid, my dad and I biked from Columbus to Mohican State Park for an overnight round trip adventure. Wondering about your custom Midnight Special build... Can you let us know what you created?

Is this mostly the Buckeue Trail? Very nice video.

Great video. I plan on doing a very similar route as yours in 2024, except finish in Sandusky where I grew up and my parents live. My biggest question for you is about tires. I'll do it on my steel road bike. Can I get away with 30mm road tires on the "unpaved" portions of this route? They would be more endurance tires with puncture protection than race tires. I can't imagine doing all of this on my carbon gravel bike.....I wouldn't be able to walk for a week.

Really enjoyed your video! I’m flying from AK to StL to ride Katy Trail in April. My first bike tour. How did u film ur ride, go pro?

Enjoyed the trip and want to do the same. Question. I know you stayed at a couple hotels, but are campsites readily available along the way?

Great video! Thoughts on the insta360 camera? Looking at that and the GoPro.

Hey Brian, thanks for the video. I’m going to be riding the OTET this year and wondered what tent you were using?

I’m planning to ride the O2E in late May. I would prefer to camp the entire route. I made it to Mt Vernon last year before my riding companion developed heat exhaustion and we called the trip. How did you find/choose your campsites? I found it difficult to find them at my projected stops and ended up ‘stealth camping’ except at London where the city has a rest station camping area right along the path. Thanks for your video and any advice!

Hey Brian nice video. Hoping to do it in the fall when it’s not so hot! Do you think it would be feasible, or a good idea, to camp outside of the official camp sites? Just whatever you could find? May not be worth the trouble but... I love Huron!

Very inspiring! I wonder what was your average speed?

wait, the Ohio-Erie goes down Rt. 104, doesn't it? that's down the center of Ohio I thought?

Thanks for this video! How did you figure where to camp along the path?
