Video Thread

We've got photo threads, but I didn't see one devoted to videos. I always enjoy seeing other folks' ride and build videos, so if anyone else has them, throw a link in here. 

Here are my two bike tour recaps from this year's ride around Lake Ontario, and last years ride through the Pine Barrens. I rode my Atlantis, and my wife is on her Clem H.

Y'all have the good vibes! I watched both, just my kind of youtoobs. Looks like Scott packs the living room furniture on that poor bike

Loved the Lake Ontario video and looking forward to checking out the Pine Barrens (hoping it's the NJ Pine Barrens) ! I spend a lot of time on Wellesley Island and it was cool to see someone else have to navigate that ridiculous sidewalk on the bridge over the St. Lawrence. I've been thinking about trying to ride around the lake but hadn't put a plan together yet. Reach out if you ever come through again.

Thanks guys. 

Jeff- that sidewalk was crazy. It was narrower than my bars at certain points. When we were planning the trip, we were hoping that Horne's ferry from Wolfe island would be back up and running, which would have been a much nicer crossing, but those bridges were the only game in town. I will let you know if I am ever back up in that area - and if you have any questions when you start planning your ride around the lake, let me know.

I didn’t watch the whole pine barrens video yet but what I watched looks like what I would like to do next.  I’m in the process of buying a Clem H so I can do some winter riding without worrying about my “good “ Bikes and to do a little less macadam.   I don’t like to ride with cars.    If anyone wants to ride or kayak in the pine barrens , please contact me as I live close, in Philadelphia. I’d go biking by myself but more fun with friends. I do not go kayaking alone.  

Thanks for the videos!

Nice video, nice vibes! The Pine Barrens ride reminds me of a lot of the bike adventures I’ve gotten myself into in the past. Just curious, how long are these tours? A few of those in your crew seem to be carrying a lot of gear!

Brian - The Pine Barrens tour we were out for 6 days total. The Jersey Devil Hunt route we followed for the portion of the Pine Barrens is only 170 miles, but we rode down from where we live in PA, and then opted to take a ferry to Deleware and then down to Maryland to extend it. We spent a few days camping at the beach at the end of the tour.

The Lake Ontario tour was 500 miles total and we were out for 9 days. 

Agreed - some of the boys like to carry alot of stuff! I think its partially that they don't care about having stuff strewn about thier bikes, and partially that they enjoy the chaos of it all. 

Roberta -  TheJersey Devil Route linked above is a great bop from Philly and you can do it entirely with public transit. You could do it in 3 days, or 4 if you really want to take your time. Clem H would be perfect, thats what my wife rode. The sugar sand can seriously slow progress at some points, but it usually doesnt last too long. Overall its a pretty flat route with minimal cars, with the exceptions of a few areas where you need to hop on some paved roads.
