Bikepacking the cool ski town refetenced as Sun Valley, Idaho to some and Ketchum, Idaho to others. A great spa stop at the YMCA and the search for a camp spot where I’m not allowed.

how to dry shirts etc. put both arms through shirt "body" and wave up and down till dry. Voile straps - get some,they're the best. Sleeping bag - Valandre makes great bags for a reasonable price

@mlctallahassee 2 года назад

I love Voile Straps! I replaced the velcro straps with Voile straps on my RocBros gear. Voile grips better and doesn't rub and scratch the bike frame.

@HumanontheLoose 2 года назад

🤣🤣🤣 That would’ve been a great visual in a video! I have some but ended up using the bungee because I needed the hook part that attached to the rack and they worked out beautifully. Cool - i’ll go check them out!

There is euphoria in being clean after time in wilderness. Warm water flowing over a dirty and tired body, reveals how luxurious a daily shower really is.

Bike touring tip for butt chafe, Brooks B-17 saddle and Patagonia mountain bike shorts commando style. For long touring days cycling short pads always get wet and chafe when you're on the bike all day, whereas thin light stretchy polyester shorts dry quick and breath well. Pick some with a very fine weave, four way stretch, super comfy with a Brooks.

@HumanontheLoose 2 года назад

I have a Selle Anatomica that I used for season one but this trip I was trying a different saddle but I’m also on dual suspension with cushy tires. I had two style pads -one are the inserts from lose baggy mountain bike shorts the other is your typical road bike padded shorts. Both performed the same but they were not Patagonia. Always enjoy hearing about others experience. I’ll check them out!

Hi Naomi! I've been dealing with trigeminal neuralgia for the past few weeks and it's next to impossible to look at the cpu screen for more than a few minutes at a time. Very cool diner, maybe pancakes later 😋 That bike mechanic broke a bike shops law of decency by not tending to a traveler. Travelers got top priority at my shop because they're on the road and it doesn't make sense to get a motel for a day or two for an hour or so on the bike stand! You're first, covid or not. At least you got to use the hose and brushes. Sorry about that rash on a big adventure,... bummer. Oops, Pun intended 😜 So glad you don't let Murphy ruin your good times.

$20 for a day pass at the Y is outrageous. I work at a parks and rec gym in Meridian Idaho and a day pass here is only $4. Unfortunately if you were in Meridian you would basically be home and would have no need for our showers. If anyone out there is just passing through the Boise area and want a cheap shower though check out the Meridian Homecourt facility.

This is now the butt rash episode. Clean Bike N'Bod is very classy clickbait territory, and the opening scene with leggings will be a fan pleaser. Epic levels of mind streaming thought trains no thought left out - none - not one! I dare anyone to find more than 60 seconds of video without any verbal communication in this 16 minute video. My money is on less than 30 seconds. Any light drinkers wanting to use this as a drinking game use the work breakfast. Naomi has all new levels of chattiness prowess. I dare say though that I really think she's got more there. She is holding back IMO. I say there is a good chance maybe 25% that she has been with someone that fell asleep, and she kept on talking. Please someone I dare you to put subtitles on this video. "I don't know what I am doing; or Do I? I can't remember now." Note to the production crew that was epic dialog right there; you nailed it. Ketchum bike shop you have been officially dissed but respectfully.

Hey Naomi You know if they sell just the chamois pads so you can throw them in anything you are wearing? I absolutely hate bike shorts.....wearing.....washing......drying....making sure I have a pair in my car at all times. Changing from shorts into another pair of shorts just to go for a ride seems freaking pointless

@HumanontheLoose 2 года назад

I had two types of padded shorts…thin inserts from a baggy pair of mountain bike shorts and your typical road bike style. I never had that problem even through my 51 day trip in season one but there was so much rain, moisture in the air and then sweating and wet fabric - yeah a recipe for disaster.

@HumanontheLoose 2 года назад

Salsa Cutthroat Apex 1 but I’d swap out the tires for a tire you’ll see in the next video - next week (just couldn’t get the editing done in time for tmrw), and maybe a set of mustache handlebars if I was going to be using it on a lot of long hilly gravel/rocky rides. I think it’s the last video of season one where I go over the Cutthroat and share my problem with the drop bar style.

@dougmckinney7575 2 года назад

@@HumanontheLoose , totally understand. I rode a Surly ERC on that route and the White Rim Trail in Utah with 29x3s. While it was comfy, it was killer climbing with it. My next off-road tour I used my Salsa Marrakesh with 700x47s and kicked butt. It has drop bars but I am thinking about adding the Surly Maloko bars as an alt bar to the Marrakesh

@pgreenx 2 года назад

Im curious how worried you are about leaving your bike for such long periods? Its an expensive bike but even more than that, all your stuff, and trip would be over if it were stolen. I dont enjoy the towns nearly enough because I wont leave my bike more than to run in, place a take out order and wait outside....

@HumanontheLoose 2 года назад

I guess in my mind there are so many expensive bikes to choose to steal I can’t imagine choosing a heavy bike/bags attached all over it. They have no idea whether I have a tracker planted in a bag. Also… in these isolated towns it’s not as easy to drive off down an alleyway through a busy city with tons of people and cars everywhere. That’s why I don’t worry about it but I do get bike insurance when I take these trips. It covers me from my bike to my bags to my bike clothes even if I fall and they rip and it’s only $220 for the year.

@pgreenx 2 года назад

@@HumanontheLoose thanks. I called about insurance and it was ridiculously priced for me. I’m off on my first trip and thinking I can’t let the bike out of my site and won’t enjoy the town stops. Hiking is one small dirty smelly backpack that no one wants…..

@HumanontheLoose 2 года назад

Try Velosurance. After they quote you for a year, since that’s the basic set up, ask what happens when you cancel after you return from your trip. You would get some money back I don’t know how much. This would help lower your cost. And as you know you can just walk with your bike and lock it right outside whatever place you’re in with a clear view. Grab a one dollar rain poncho from the drugstore and drape it over your bike so no one knows what’s under it and if they go to steal it it would be quite an eye catcher. There’s too many expensive bikes that people leave out that are easy to steal for someone to mess with a covered bikepacking bike.

@HumanontheLoose 2 года назад

That bike set up wouldn’t have worked for me on this trip because I was planning to go up into the steep mountains on single track and I wouldn’t want that weight hanging off the sides. I like the minimalist streamline setup. I can’t really comment on what’s in fashion because I don’t pay attention even though it might look like I do - and I do agree. 🤣 If I was going to design saddlebags I would steal that name! I used an “ass rocket” last year Season 1 but this ride is a rack with a big round sack and I freaking LOVED it! It was my not-in-fashion design! I’d never go back to an “ass rocket.”
