Getting caught riding my motorcycle through a snowstorm in Colorado, USA. |S6-E111| 

"Let's see how the world looks like tomorrow." That is the attitude required to overcome any obstacle.

Riding through a Colorado snowstorm in the same gear you rode through the Mexican deserts?...now THAT is what I call a hard woman! You never disappoint, Noraly!

A tip: If you must have to ride in chilly weather without proper winter-wear then wear your backpack on your chest. Because your chest is one of the most vulnerable area, where you can catch cold and your bag is not at all penetrable by chilly winds. Other important areas to cover are nose, ear and throat. My father taught this and it helped me a lot.

I love the way you keep a smile no matter what’s wrong !!! Nothing steals your joy !

Honda should be sponsoring Noraly if they aren’t already. This is an excellent advertisement for the reliability and capability of the 300 Rally.

I'm blown away at this young ladies fortitude. Her riding skills. And her production skills.

For viewers wondering where exactly the wilderness rides are : At the 15:20 mark Noraly is riding out of Woodland Park CO into the Rampart Range and into what we affectionally call 'The Platte' along the South Platte river deep in the mountains of Pike National Forest. An incredibly beauitful and way out there place. Numerous forest service roads weave thru the area you really can get away from it all here. The fishing in the Platte is exceptional and the Rock Climbing is adventurous to say the least. Skipping across Interstate 70 Noraly gets on Hwy 72 the 'Peak to Peak Highway' up to Nederland a funkly old mining town now filling with rich hipsters and their million dollar homes. The old mountain folk are still here though and the hospitality with them. So glad you were able to route your trip thru Colorado ...theres no place like it !

Hi, ik reageer normaal niet zo veel, maar moet dit toch even zeggen. Ik ben een vrouw van 57, en door jouw video's heb ik besloten om een moto te kopen. Niet één om rond de wereld te rijden (heb nog nooit op een moto gezeten, laat staan een gereden) Maar aangezien ik niet groot ben (1.60m) heb ik besloten voor een mini.... de Honda Monkey 125cc om te beginnen. Moet natuurlijk nog leren rijden eerst maar volgend jaar met de lente verken ik BE en NL zeker. Dus bedankt om mij de moed en dat " Itchy" gevoel te geven om dit te doen. Sabina Hi, I don't normally comment that much, but I have to say this anyway. I am a 57 year old woman, and your videos made me decide to buy a motorcycle. Not one to ride around the world (never been on a bike, let alone ridden one) But as I'm not tall (1.60m) I decided for a mini...the Honda Monkey 125cc to start. Of course I still have to learn to drive first, but next spring I will definitely explore BE and NL. So thank you for giving me the courage and that "Itchy" feeling to do this. Sabina

From a proud American, thank you Noraly for showing the world some of our beautiful places we have here in this country. Safe travels!

Wow Noraly, you are SUPER woman! Nothing stops you - not the heat, volcanic roads, thick sand, river or sea crossings, injuries, nor the freezing cold temperatures or snow. Your courage, determination and tenacity is truly remarkable. And, to top it all, you're always positive, bright, smiling or laughing through it all ... incredible!!! We can all take a leaf out of your book ....

This is hands down the best adventure channel on RU-vid! Thanks Noraly for another outstanding episode .

What a testimony to the build quality of Honda. Noraly literally puts her life on the line almost every day trusting that her bike will not break down and stand up to the punishing conditions. It takes whatever she throws at it and comes back for more. Ride safe Noraly!

That hotel clerk when she said she was jealous of you, I could relate to the same feeling nearly all women have in your videos no matter which country or culture. I've seen that same reaction from other women in your videos from India, South Africa, South America, and now North America. That's what connects us all. Thanks for spreading hope.

Another epic adventure. Even when you have a "bad" time, you are cheery and make the best of your situation. That's why your fans all love you and your trips. Keep it up.😀

Lived in Colorado for 30 years of my life. The weather is unpredictable there, but the local rule is to "wait 5 minutes, it will change". It's taken many a hikers life. You set out in shorts and a t-shirt for a mountain hike on a blue sky day only to have a white out snow storm blow in. They sneak up on you in the mountains. The temperature can swing 50+ degrees and before you know it, the trails gone with a sheet of white and you are freezing. Anyway, the rule of thumb is to always dress in layers and tell someone where you went.

As a US citizen, your recent videos have given me a reawakened appreciation for the land that I love…….as a California girl now living in the Pacific Northwest, I feel blessed beyond belief! I recite a little prayer every morning, for our Fabulous Wandering Traveler, and Motorcycle Mama, Miss Noraly! “May the gods protect you and Alaska, wherever you are, wherever you go, and wherever you end up….whether you meant to be there or not…we love and appreciate you, Amen”! 🙏🏽💖💛💖💛

The only way Noraly’s videos could be better is if they were each 2 hours long, which I would gladly sit through! Watching that riding in snow footage made ME feel cold! I’m sure that fireplace felt great after the journey!

You never disappoint us Noraly, I really appreciate your effort and dedication to make interesting videos for us

The lady Inn keeper sure hit the nail on the spot. This channel is making people jealous. More of a inspiration for me to do what you are doing.

The way you put together all those camera angles and drone shots is nothing short of amazing. Noraly, you are most definitely a master craftsman at what you do. I m totally addicted to getting up in the mornings and joining you for your rides!

Every time I’m having a crummy day, I just watch an episode of Itchy Boots and bam! I’m in a better mood. This channel is therapeutic. Who new?

"DO NOT SHOOT TREES" Yep, only in America! This made me smile.

Oh girl. one of the best episodes so for. One of my dreams, doing pikes peak. I can almost feel the cold, the way you filmed this. EPIC I am a fan for life

As a guy who has been on hundreds of bikes in dozens of country's myself , you my dear, are really something special. Ride hard ride safe

I lived in Colorado for many years. One time I stopped at a red light in June, it was sunny except for one cloud rushing towards me. All of a sudden it darkened, wind blew hard and rain fell and turned to snow for a few seconds then back to rain. Then the wind stopped and the light turned green. True story.

I’m glad you’re enjoying the USA! We aren’t perfect of course, but have a lot to offer. Enjoying your videos! ☺️❤️

Now I want to visit Pike's Peak too because of that landmark about "America The Beautiful", it's one of my Dad's favorite songs... He loved to sing it when he was still around..He is in heaven now..... I must say the song touches my heart everytime I sing it!....Thank you so much Noraly! 👍

The views that Noraly shows us of Pike's Peak beats everything I've seen in the races there.

Don’t know how much of this you get to read Noraly but wanted to try to let you know that you inspire ppl to do more than just motorcycle journeys (though my wife and I do have motorcycles). Yesterday for instance we watched your videos posted last week and were inspired to go on a paddling adventure. Thanks for your infectiousness!

Now you know why us Colorado natives have the saying "if you don't like the weather, wait 10 minutes." You never know what you'll get in CO no matter what time of year!

What a wonderful way to wake up here in Oregon... quiet, sunny but cool morning and another inspiring video from Noraly. What a beautiful ride, but ohh, that cold. You are a tough cookie! I can smell those pines. I can feel that cold on my fingers too. You make it seem so easy with your positive and cheery attitude. Can't wait for the next one and the next one... be safe and keep on loving every minute you have on this earth!! ❤❤❤

Had the pleasure of living in Colorado years ago, was involved in mineral exploration and like Noraly, spent most of our time off-road. Beautiful state where much of the time you live and work well above sea level. The climate changes quickly, so it's good to see Noraly respecting it. Be safe N!

This is Colorado. There is always a chance of snow in the upper elevations, it really doesn't matter what month of the year. I am glad you showed the ride up Pikes Peak, it gives people around the world a look at what is one of our local treasures. Thanks for sharing. It will probably be warmer tomorrow.

Noraly the snow woman, has a jolly happy soul, she rides those mountains rain or shine, even when it snows 👍

Noraly, without a doubt, you sure are my hero.

Fantastic what a ride! I have enjoyed it so much. Beautiful to ride.

Hi Noraly. Im sure you already know this tip. I always ride with a couple of pairs of latex gloves in my tool roll. They have been priceless a couple of times when the weather changes. In India they saved me from frost bite as they not only keep your hands dry but also act as wind stoppers.... I just asked in a garage if I could buy a pair and they gave me a hand full ( no pun intended ) Stay safe and thank you for your videos and blogs and entertaining and inspiring. Reuben

Noraly, from a country below sea level to a land of the free and above the clouds. What a gal, what a journey. Thanks Noraly 🇿🇦🇿🇦👍

I like the video were go past the trees 💖💖❤️👍

Wow!! I get so nervous watching you hug the icy mountaintops on Alaska in Colorado. You are Amazing!!

I've been on many motorcycle trips where it's freezing and your hands are frozen and it is NOT fun. Every mile goes by painfully slowly. Glad you made it through the day!

I love the town of Nederland, been there a few times, I am also from the Netherlands, but have lived in the US 50 years, enjoy your videos so much👍🌷

THANKYOU for sharing. I'll never get to see it in person. Health issues..uggghhhh. But you let me see it.. Thanks again! Safe travels..

Any day riding is a good day. Some days we end up with stories and unplanned experiences. But we have awesome stories to recall when things don't go as expected 🙂

If you’re ever wondering if the ground is icy or just wet, look for spray coming off the tires…or tyres, which ever you prefer. If it’s ice you won’t see spray.

What an adventure! You’re a trooper. The variety of scenery and events really set your videos apart from others. Us weekend warriors will never be able to match your variety and levels of adventure. You are quickly establishing yourself as the premier benchmark for adventure rider vloggers.

Thank You Very Much For Sharing 👍 🇯🇲

Hi Noraly, from South Staffordshire, England. We are sweltering in 30+ degrees here at the moment and my rides out on Wiggy, my Enfield, are hot and sweaty. My days of riding in snow are over, I'm far too creaky these days. It's a joy to follow your continuing adventures and I'm jealous of the scenery so huge thanks for sharing it with us. I've ridden in all weathers in my 50 plus years of riding so I understand how it feels to be slightly unprepared and end up with fingers going numb with cold. Inner gloves and layers have been my saviour on many occasions. Beautiful, gorgeous scenery this trip and shocking, by European standards, to see Peaks Pass is not lined with crash barriers along the drop-side of the road. Wow! Never mind "don't shoot the tress", don't fall off the edge! Keep safe my young European neighbour, see you in the next video. Big 👍👍👍 from UK

I've lived here since the 70's and have never lost appreciation of how beautiful it is

Noraly is definitely a trooper. I remember camping at Longs peak in Colorado in the summer and waking up to lots of snow. Best campfire bacon and eggs ever!

That's springtime in the Rockies. At elevation, the weather can be almost anything.

Colorado is just SO spectacular! Thanks for taking us along. Get Warm

Im from Denmark but i have been a lot in the US ( working with wind turbines), and i have to say Colorado is one of my favorite states, the area around colorado springs and Pikes Peak is so beautiful and different from Denmark where i live. You hear a lot of negative stuff about the US in the media, but that is not my experiance with the US, almost all the people i met were very friendly and open, and the different senery state to state is amazing

Around 15m, the drone view with the music, watching you ride... Brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for bringing this adventure to our living rooms. God speed on the rest of your journey.

Another great story Noraly 👍🏼👊🏼💪🏼👌🏼🤩

Great channel! I just discovered your channel the other day and I've been watching your clips ever since! I've been riding off road motorcycles since spring of 1969 and am still riding. (I am 70 years old.) I too, have been caught in some miserable weather... but those are the rides you remember the most! Next time your hands are freezing: Stop, leave the bike idling, and grip the silencer with your gloved hands. It will act like a hand warmer and it feels SO GOOD to thaw out your fingers. You can also use the exhaust coming out of the silencer on your gloved hands as a finger warmer. I will often take of my heavier gloves and stuff them between the muffler and body parts so they can get thoroughly warm, and wearing my liner gloves, I will warm my fingers using the exhaust coming out of the tail pipe and/or also the holding the silencer with my hands. When finished, and you put on your pre-warmed heavier gloves they will be toasty warm and they will feel great. Best of luck and ride safe!

Since I started watching your channel I find myself giving you priority over all else. Bad for my schedule but good for my psyche. Addicted to you and your RU-vid channel.🙂

Now you are in Nederland, I almost want to speak Nederlands (Dutch) with you. Seeing you struggeling with the weather conditions I have to think on my own experianses in winterconditions in the Netherlands on my bromfiets, moped, light 2 stroke bike 50 cc, going to work every day. This was another very beautiful video Noraly thank you. Stay warm !!!

Amazing. Well done Noraly for keeping the camara lens as clear as possible on the ride through the snow shower. I would have been far to busy trying to stay upright 👏👏👏🙏🙏

High as the clouds ☁️

Noraly, you've become as fine a filmmaker as you have a rider and adventurer. I was SO excited to finally see you discovering America, and you have more than met expectations. Happy trails to you... until we meet again!

I can’t never could… just do it! That’s Noraly! She can overcome any problem, one way or another. Colorado definitely offers weather to suit almost anyone. Pikes Peak is definitely a great ride, the views are phenomenal! You ended the snowy day in great accommodations! Thanks for sharing another day in your adventure! Ride safe Noraly!

I'm so happy you went up Pike's Peak! I haven't been since I was a child living in Colorado. And yes, all the stream and pine trees are gorgeous as always beautiful Colorado is. I live in Australia now. What a lovely taste of a land I once knew. Thanks Noraly!

I lived close to Nederland, Colorado (Georgetown) and yea, you can never count on the weather in the Rockies. A gorgeous morning would turn into a killer afternoon snow storm. Ride safe! Thanks for your great vids.

The edge of the mtn as Noraly was driving had me backing up on my seat. It was so cold "I am over it!", get warm and tostie by the fire and have a well deserved rest Noraly.

Epic! A few days ago in hot desert, then Las Vegas Strip and now Pikes Peak with great views before driving in snowy conditions to Nederland. All with the usual smiles and laughter - you got to love it 🙂

Thank you for showing me those mountains, i have always wanted to visit but for health reason its a no go. Absolutely beautiful especially through your perspective of riding.

It's so much fun to experience the world through your eyes Noraly. You have an eye and sense of curiosity that just makes each episode, regardless of what happens, enthralling to watch and listen to. The journey up Pike's Peak has me wishing I didn't pass it up when I was in Colorado. Perhaps another day. One other thing I'll add... A friend said to me once, "I bet you would really like to ride with Itchy Boots." I thought about it for a minute and said "No, I don't want to ride with her. I want to ride like her. Alone, on my own, with my eye on the road ahead." For him riding is a social activity. For me it's not. And that's what I like about the Itchy Boots channel content. But as she's riding through the US, I have to wonder, did she ride to South Dakota to take in the Sturgis experience???

I'm running out of words to describe just how amazing these videos are! So I will leave it at that...just amazing! ☮❤😎

Why did I not find this channel before. I am hooked to it since the last 3 days. Exactly the sort of content I love.

Pikes peak🏔, America's Mountain ! Wat een prachtig uitzicht op de top van deze beroemde piek ! Boven aan het uitkijkpunt hebben we een uitzicht van 360°, het is echt geweldig ! En een onrustig afdaling onder de sneeuw en de kou voor deze 111de aflevering naar Nederland City👍‼

You could feel Noraly's suffering cold through the screen. Hopefully you get your winter gear soon to confront the North weather. Great vlog!

I’ve watched all your videos. They are great! I can’t believe you actually stopped in a place I lived (Nederland) while a student at CU in Boulder decades ago. A 10,000 mile trip around the western US and Canada on a Triumph T100C after getting out of the Marine Corps led me to moving to the west. Been through several bikes since then and still riding.

We’ll be safe look I live in Tennessee thank you for letting me see I middle of are beautiful country so thank you .

I was almost 30 years old before I saw my first true Mountain and it was Pikes Peak. I will never forget how magnificent the view was from the summit. Thank you Noraly ❤

Goodness gracious me 😳. I'm glad you got through the snowstorm safely. You've got a lot of people praying for your safety 🙏.

Sitting on my balcony on the 11th floor in Guatemala City looking at Volcán de Agua, Volcán de Fuego, and Volcán de Acatenango at the horizon during sunset watching your video. The more I watch you the more I get convinced that if you can do your world trips alone on a bike we, a small family of three, can do our version of the same in Central America in a small Jimny. You’re such an inspiration and the trips we have ahead of us will be our dream, our memories for life just as yours are for you. ❤️

What can I say, but thank you for sharing this video which had made me teary eyed as you made your way up to Pike's Peak. Its so beautiful Noraly. Thank you for this. On the other hand, I am hoping that you didn't catch a cold after that cold, wet, snowy ride you had... At the beginning of this season, I am sure that I had seen that video when your ordered winter gears arrived, so in the back of my mind, I was asking why isn't she wearing them? But you had answered it too on this video that you had sent it up north already, not anticipating that you'll be needing it this early along the way....hoping really that you are alright, okay and warm. Best of luck Noraly. Keep safe

hey you made it to the top of Pikes Peak. good for you. and nice view from way up there.

Oh Noraly, what amazing rider you are and what great pleasure following you. Go on and never stop ;-)

That place where you stayed must have looked like heaven after that cold ride. Interesting day of riding on and off road in this episode, thanks for sharing and continued safe travels.

Ahhh spring in the Rockies! Sunshine one minute, and snow the next!

Wow, that place is so cool, Thank you Norally for letting us see a different America the world shows

Oh America the beautiful! Yes, she is beautiful! And you, Noraly, are showing her in all It's explendor. Thank you for sharing. Keep enjoying the wet/snowing/cold summer of Colorado 😉

Hey Noraly, loving every mile of your, and our adventure, a little trick I learned a long while ago in the UK is to travel with a couple of pairs of those free diesel gloves you get at petrol stations, they make excellent waterproof over gloves for sudden downpours!

You are absolutely happy crazy!🤪🌺

You'll never forget Colorado Noraly, what a wonderful trip!!

Just imagine in August, summer time, having a fire going in your hotel room in snowy Nederland 🥶 while Nederland currently is melting under a heatwave🌞...

As a Canadian, I would advise having winter gear with you at all times here, especially at the higher elevations. Remember, our fall is like your winter back in The Netherlands.

Glad you made it safely. Thank you again for taking us on your adventures.

Brought back so many happy memories visiting Pikes Peak. Well worth the visit but is really cold. What a journey you are on. Keep up the great work. 👏👏👍

Noraly, you are truly inspiring - and I never get tired of that laugh of yours.

Noraly, my husband and I continue to be grateful beyond words for the joy you bring us. Thank you so, so much for taking us along on this journey.

Noraly...I like the drama and the majestic views...Thank you, Geoff

Possibly my favourite video of yours. From blue skies and amazing scenery, to an epic snow adventure. Woah!

🇮🇹 Here I am, gents! Gooood afternoooooon, Noraly, Internet, sisters and brothers, let’s goooooo, as usual! 🇮🇹

My heart was in my mouth with you riding through the snow. How the heck you saw where you were going amazes me. Keep safe and warm. Sending lots of Scottish love ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I think I have seen most of your videos... For me, this is one of the best!!! Good luck and stay safe (and warm) 😉!!! Greetings from Croatia!

It's incredible how you were eye-level with all of those clouds, and not just on a plane. I'd love to experience that one day.

Amazing views of the Rocky mountains from the drone. Noraly never disappoints her viewers. Colorado in June: snow, rain, hail. You can get all three in one afternoon in the mountains. Hail being the worst thing to ride through by far. Depending on her route she hasn't seen the last of the snow. Ride safe!
