Thank you. Well done - very educational and inspiring.

What a beautiful bike trail. Amazing ride.

This is a fantastic bike trail - Ohio is a beautiful state.

Great video! thanks, im considering riding the entire Empire State Trail myself, so I really enjoyed this. (Minor correction, you said: "Days 1 and 2 are mainly rail trail biking on the Erie Canal Trail with a few road sections." - None of it is a rail trail.) ;) (some later sections are, but not Buffalo to Pittsford.)

Two syllables: Zeen-Yah. Great bikes trails.

I regularly ride from Eli's BBQ to lunkin up to Loveland, I turn around at kings mills . Elis and Paxton's are my favorite food stops .

Nice music! 👍🙂🎶

I was on the trail May 23-25 2024 and south of Hill City there was water in the rest stop cisterns. Avenza is good. I use GAIA pro app for public land. There is limited public land between Pringle and Edgemont. I ride a Surly Bridge Club with 27. 5 with 2.4 tires. Pretty cush. I used a shuttle from Edgemont to Deadwood then rode south back to Edgemont. Pretty party pace at two and half days.

Great video, I’ve done this ride a couple years ago….

I just rode the Mickelson May 24, incredible. Wild camped on Black Hills NF one night. Storms near Custer, motel one night, then 44 miles to Edgemont by early afternoon. There are shuttles available. Going back this fall with friend with ebike of hers.

Easch of the Amish's horseys has a name! I wont listen to bossey people no matter how well intentioned. When I want something or anything from another adult, today I simply ask that person! Telling anyone what to do when they are grown just wont work. I wear my helment also. When it gets dark try riding some of the trail then. i never had the money for any hotel at all! Just carried enough for some food. I get hungry. i have on the instant pot right now, beans, and brown rice and dried veggies. Some spices too. I peddled from 11 years old, to 65 years old. My left hip is going out on me been disabled over 49 years too. Paul in Ohio This is me I prefer to let others know what we can do instead of all the stuff we should not do. Positive stuff!

As I read these comments I agree that your on screen demeanor is great!! Thank you so much.

To each their own, but I can't think of a less appealing place as a destination. LOL

Find the bike and gear that you are comfortable with / Every ounce counts like backpacking. I agree with over packing food. There are so many towns and if you time it right you don't have to carry a ton of water, just time it to fill up before you camp for the night. If you are unfamiliar with any trail then do as much research as possible and lay out a plan to leave with family and friends.

Love your videos! By the way, the music makes me want to pedal off into the ozone! Be Well, and Prosper!

Can you E-Bike on it or is it dependent on county?

👍👍

Thank you for the great video.

Hi. I am confused. Are 28mm ok? You mention 28mm or wider in audio but the graphic says 32mm or wider.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us 😊

The music ruined it I stopped watching after a few minutes because of it.

What is the best month to ride this trail?

Nice video; nice places..and nice wonder girl...Saludos from Panamá Country..👌

Can you ride a recumbent trike on this trail?

On the road is not a trail.

This is a well done video, in so many ways. You win in every category. I like uphill, downhills are OK when being chased. Thank you.

Yes, I know it looks cool to wear earbuds. But I've seen so many people hurt (riding and walking) on trails because they can't hear people coming up behind them. At the worst moment they veer off path and a crash ensues. And no helmet? Not setting a good example for a bicycle touring company. I saw a guy get run over in one of the concrete tunnels by an E-bike. His helmet was crushed against the concrete pier. Had he not had it on, he would have been in the ER. Still got bloodied even with the helmet. Also, for first-timers, as a courtesy to the landowners you are supposed to close all gates as you pass through them. Yes, I know they were already open when Sarah went through them, but leaving them open leaves a bad taste in the mouth of the ranchers...many who did not want the trail being built through their land. Please close all gates.

I rode it, it's a nice ride👍

How would it be with a child trailer…wide/even enough throughout?

Thanks for the videos. They make me feel less nervous about being alone in the wild!

You're right: Don't count on anything being open as a source of food. water or lodging. I learned my lesson in France years ago, when on a couple Sundays I rolled into a town to find everything closed, streets deserted and nothing available.

so cool riding past the old canal system. It was the reason Akron exists today!

Awesome! Thanks for taking us on the ride.

👍👍👍

That would be a nice trail ☺️

Would you please post the entry point for this part of your ride. Is there parking available?

Curious how many days and/or hours does it take to ride from Cincinnati to Columbus? Does anyone have recommendations on which towns to stay in? I can probably do this in 2 days but 3 would allow for more stops and enjoyment. Thoughts anyone??

Just started biking after 50 years. I have hiked a few times along the C&O Canal Trail and wished I could have gone further every time I hiked. Just looking to do sectionsof the C&O Canal Trail along with the Western Maryland Trail and the Great Alleghany Passage Trail.

Do you still do these 3 day tours?

Given the head and crosswinds you encountered going South on the prairie, do you think it would be advantageous to take on a bit more climbing to get out of the wind? Go South to North?

Thank you!

Great video! Thank you!

A lot of those Trails are trails where the railroads once stood until the Branchline railroads were abandoned and bankrupt.

Can you please recommend two sections on the paved section of the trail, since I don't want to go on the streets? I watched all of your videos and took notes.

Thanks for sharing this video! I'm surprised you didn't mention the Grandin Road/Cartridge Factory construction/detour on the Little Miami Scenic Trail, a few miles north of Loveland. The official detour climbs a non-trivial hill. But if you go through on weekends or lunchtime, no one is working. What did you guys do?

hi🌷 I acutely live in Sturgis, Sd so this was my first! Its incredibly BEAUTIFUL! I’m needing help creating a safe loop route all the way around Galveston Bay, TX Im going solo and have this done asap so i can make nessasary arrangements! Hoping to do as much wild camping as possible! $$$ 30-40mi.per day is more than enough ! Where do I go to get the information ℹ️ im needing??😥 Sorry for the Late notice…but care to join ? 10-12days mid-late Jan’24? SOON Thanks and take care 🥳 Cheryl ps. I split up that 1st 14mi. Uphill, did 5 Monday evening and the rest on Tuesday, helped! 💕be careful out there!

Nice work! 🚴🏼 Are you sure about the camping at that stop? I’ve read that camping along the trail is prohibited. Another thing: are you wearing a Walz cap? I have several and that’s what it looks like. 👍 As you do, I don’t wear a helmet on these easy trails. I don’t see the need.

I watched both your videos. Thanks for the info you shared. I’m planning riding this in May 2024. The forest service road you used for dispersed camping, is it right off the trail? Any chance it’s marked? The information I received from the Mickelson Trail folks does say camping is not allowed on the trail. Appreciate any info. Thanks.

I just did this part last month. I hated that bridge into Kingston. Maybe because I was carrying all my gear but hitting those grates on the Kingston-Rhinecliff bridge was jarring and if you move over to avoid the grates, the cars are right there.

Great Video.. I did watch both.. what Bike shuttle did you use ??
