Bikepacking Minnesota's Newest Trail! 

good clear video

Love the tent chair bit.

You darn near rode past my house! Those roads/trails are my stomping grounds. Some of the best gravel around. Hit me up if you are back in the area I am happy to share some of the other amazing rural/gravel routes we have up here. I usually choose the upper campground at Sibley for a more “remote” feel. Great park, great ride. Ride safe amigo!

Loving your cockpit setup. Awesome and great yellow overcoat. Terrific video Kevin. Very entertaining.

Your Awesome

Great video Kevin! Hats off the the Parks and Trails Council for sponsoring this video. They should have you do these bikepacking trips all over the state to promote our great MN State Parks and trail systems. What an excellent way to demonstrate the practical access to state trails and parks from a metro area like St. Cloud. Really enjoyed how you tied in the park history and the planned development of the new bike infrastructure for the connection of the Glacial Lakes Trail and Sibley State Park. Love your drone shots, they really add to the beauty and professionalism of your video! Let me know how I can be an advocate to Parks and Trails to sponsor more videos like this.

I like the montage of you saying hi to people at the beginning :) You seem like a friendly person. I've taken the Gateway State Trail > Brown Creek trail from a St. Paul suburb to Stillwater and back, that was pretty nice.

Cool and informative ! Lakeview Campground looks great ! Amazing how the parks dept. restored that track of land, beautiful ! I like that camp and chair set up shot ! Great video & Best Wishes for the Holidays ! Ride On Kevin !

In Michigan, we have the Great Lake to lake trail. It is just like Minnesota’s glacial lake state trail. New York State has just completed a similar trail, itself. It appears that most states are building cycling and multi use trails like this. I just rode Michigan’s trail this past summer. It was an awesome adventure and the first (of many still yet!) adventure I’ve undertaken. It was so accessible that it was almost as easy as stepping out my front door, in Detroit, to get on the trail. It may not be as epic as the great divide trail, but these kind of trails offer great adventures that anyone can do.

An awesome watch. I love the positive attitude. Keep smiling brother

Dude, that's an amazing feast. If you're bikepacking, there's no reason not stop for a nice lunch! It was what I looked forward to all along the Katy trail in Missouri - the lunch out! :-D

Sweet! Thank you, Kevin! I'm always looking for bikepacking opps in MN!

Hey Kevin, It's Kyle from Sioux City. Great to ride with you yesterday. I enjoyed this video on a trail that I've ridden! Looking forward to seeing what you put together after RAGBRAI. There's a lack of quality videos that really capture the spirit of the ride.

Most Awesome!!! I wish Tennessee had more trails like that. I have to go out of state to ride long paths like that to camp off of.

Wait...whaaaat...Free use of bikes!!! @3:44 Awesome!

That's awesome Kevin.

Hello Kevin, enjoyed your latest video. I have a winter Texan friend that lives in Woodbury. I've gone up there a few times in the summer to ride. (I live in south Texas) I will say that I'm always impressed with the cycling infrastructure you have in Minnesota. My longest ride was a few years back when we rode from Woodbury to Duluth, with a large portion on a paved trail and the rest on rural highways. We did not "rough it" but stayed in local hotels and one night at a warmshowers host. I've ridden in the area a lot and into SW Wisconsin to include parts of the Sparta trail, which is really nice. Now I have another area to explore when I return but I'll wait until summer! Thanks again, if you have a link to your route on a mapping app let me know.

Great info and video, I like your excitement.

What a great video!!!! Thanks!

Very cool. I always enjoy your videos. I gotta connect with you on a ride sometime. Come back to AZ. :)

I can't wait to go here!

That was good of you to try to pull those fallen trees off the trail. I never seem to have my chain saw with me when I'm bicycling and come across things like that. I think my wife and I and oldest daughter (than a toddler) stayed at Sibley State Park in 1975 just after we moved to St. Cloud, where we then lived for a few years. We did some bicycle riding on the roads nearby. (I didn't remember the name of the park, but it was a state park near Willmar with a lake next to the campground. In 2016 I rode some of the trail from the New London area to Willmar. I had been doing some long day rides in the area, and that was the easiest way to get back to Willmar. Until I saw your video I didn't know it was part of a trail that will go all the way to St. Cloud. I liked the parts shown on your video where trees haven't grown up along the trail and one can still see things. I wish some of the rail trails would keep the trees and brush cut down enough to enable one to see the scenery, but that would probably be expensive. And on a hot day, I've been known to get off the roads and take a trail instead so I can be in the cool shade. Some of us are hard to please. Anyhow, it was good to get all the information you provided.

Great video! My hometown is very close to here but this trail wasn’t there then. Seems I’ll have to make the trip back!

Excellent video.

Thank you!, Felix Navidad Kev.

Cool running into to you at Monarch! I sent the drop and it was delightful. I hope to take this weekend route sometime

Great video, the wife and I will hopefully start in August to ride one state park/trail every week

Thanks Kevin. New subscriber. Enjoyed your video. Well done.

Great video Kev!

Saludos Kevin 👋🏾 Great video!

Awesome video Kev! This is the type of video I wanna watch and make myself! This kind of riding is the dream! I wanna be able to just get out there like this and ride and have fun and also help others feel less worried when they ride trails and go on adventures. Although Atlanta doesn't have easy and safe trails, I want to definitely go out like this and spend a nice day(s)! My main channel is showing America to my Japanese audience but I figured why not make an English channel for more people to enjoy! Let me know if you ever come to Georgia for a gravel ride!!

Any person who converts from the imperial system to the metric system, God Bless you!

Another great video! Loved the tent and chair piece, clever! I’d say it’s time for a new pair of gloves, Kev! Is that your drone video? If so nice work! Happy holidays! If you ever fly into Atlanta, you have to check out the Silver Comet Trail / Chief Ladiga Trail ~96 miles of paved multiuse trail from Smyrna, GA to Anniston, AL.

Hello, hello, hi, howdy. That pizza and pretzel combo looked redonk!

Horses scare you??? LOL They're awesome animals! Ever ride the Luce Line? I rode it in 2015 from the Plymouth trailhead to Watertown and back - cool trail.

Very nice and informative video, Kev - thank you! BTW, has anyone EVER told you that sometimes you sound a little like Eddie Murphy? No kidding.

Hi Kevin - where did you park your car in St. Cloud for this overnight trip? Looking for a recommendation so I can go on this ride.

Still have yet to do a over night. All my tours are 4 days and longer so far. Keven get TubeBuddy. I use your channel as a near comparison of my channel using that tool. Let me know if you want to ride more of Arizona. Ryan just ignores me any time I ask him.

I live not even a mile from the Quarry.

Who makes the handlebar bike bag? 🔥
