Im curious of the model aventon your dad rode and did he bring a spare battery
@briansadventures
@briansadventures 10 күн бұрын
It is an Aventon Level 2. Yes, he did carry an extra battery. He could have done 50 or so with one battery, but not more than 60 without recharging during the ride. We probably could have managed that - charging it during lunch on longer days. But carrying an extra made it easier.

What a ride, that's so great to see. Glad you had a safe trip! I'm from Vermilion, so, howdy neighbor. I should bike more, I mostly just hike local trails. The N Coast Inland trail would be fun to ride sometime. Also, I just wanna say, I hate how much crap Ohio gets sometimes. I know we have some pretty rough cities but I love the scenic side. The fields, lake, more wooded hilly parts south west. I'll take this over sand/dirt.

We used to take the kids camping at kokosing when they were little. This a trip to watch man. Thanks. Can't wait to go hit the trail. Liked and subscribed.👍

I enjoyed your video immensely! I've ridden many rides in the past including the C&O and GAP trails (the whole trip as well as sections), Vermont (five day ride with Adventure Cycling when it was a reasonable price back in the day), RAGBRAI and bike packing with friends in Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania. I really want to ride the OTET and only have to work out getting to and from the start/finish. Hope to perhaps take a shuttle from Cleveland where my buddies live to Cincinnati, ride back to Cleveland and then drive back to my home near Toledo. We would tent camp although those hotels look pretty temping too. I'd bet your father is a bit older than me so if he can do it I suppose I can too. Keep making those videos and I'll be watching. You've inspired me! P.S. Thanks for the great links in the description.

Dude, you rode right past my house! You should have stopped in for a beer. I want to ride this one myself but start in the North and come back towards Loveland. I just got my bike a few weeks ago and am now gathering my gear and doing some mods to the bike. It's on my summer bucket-list. Thanks for the video. It really does help me with motivation. My old sailboat is sitting in the back yard waiting for me to get some work done to do the Erie Canal and down to Cincinnati to the Ohio River as well. What a beautiful state! I love being back home.

Thank you! Yes, I did just complete the trail again with my father this time. It was another great time. Mounting the 360 is another story. That's been a continuous work in process. Clamps loser grip. Cheaply made parts don't last. I recently tried this mount from insta 360. It's what I used on the last ride, and it worked well along with a selfie stick. I've made the decision to stick with Indta360 bounce because I think that they're overbuilt, and last. I then mount a selfie stick onto the bike mount. I'm still looking for a good strong quick release, to be able to take the selfie stick quickly off the bike mount.
