  • I live in a 3rd world country and seeing a bike or motorcycle ride in California State is my very favorite thing to watch awesome ride guys! thank you for sharing your gold moments!
  • Been wanting to do a trip closer to home and this is it! I live in Hayward, CA and done this ride on my motorcycle twice before. Maybe time to slow down a bit and just go for it on my bicycle. Your friends are truly one of a kind. Would love to have some buddies that would be down with a trip like this. For now, solo trip! Planning for next year! Cheers 🍻

  • I have camped out at Kirk Creek for a couple days. You have to cook, eat and put everything away before sunset because those raccoons will not stop. My dogs would bark at them and they'd still come towards you. All night long you hear them popping open the garbage cans and fighting.
  • What a fantastic watch! The editing, music, and camaraderie brought me back to my youth. You have a future as a YouTube creator — keep it up!

    Wow, I can’t believe that guy at 2:10 gave you donuts, that so thoughtful, he must be the coolest.

    This was AWESOME. I'm looking to ride California for my birthday and this got me pumped.
  • Thanks for the memories guys! Great job on the video. My wife and I rode the Coast, Canada to Mexico on our Cannondale mountain tandem in 2009. Camped at some of the same campgrounds and fought off some of the same racoons! Sneaky little bandits! Thoroughly enjoyed the ride with you!
  • So glad this came up on my feed. Having ridden from SF to LA twice (w/ the Cal AIDS ride) it was great to see some familiar spots. Especially in spots where I also used to live and surf in Santa Barbara, Malibu. Great, epic ride. Thanks!

    What a great trip! Memories for a lifetime. Friends, adventure, nature… living your best lives guys -yew!
  • Capture, music and pacing was so well done here, Greg. The camaraderie you four have seem's to be really special. Really looking forward to your next adventure.

    with the quality of this video, I was surprised to see a channel with 27k, expected it to be well over 100k. Keep pushing man, keep up the adventures!

    this was so well done! and you can tell it was made with so much love and humbleness. Also, superb choices in music. They fit so nicely <3
  • @shelbiebea
    This makes me want to go bikepacking! Great photos as well!
  • @FastMoSF
    Great video and such an awesome adventure. How do you like that Patagonia merino t-shirt for cycling?
  • Spot on video…thanks guys …looks like you had a great time….🇬🇧👍✊🇺🇸
  • Guys! This was epic! I love the vibe you guys have, I wish I had some friends willing to ride; I'm alone for now. I love the picture of all 4 of ya"ll sitting side by side; I wish I was there... Best wishes to you guys and your families. See you guys on the road... P.S. I just subscribed!🤝🏽✌🏾
