Thanks Jake

ben williams thanks Ben, you must have seen my tracks😀 I left the gang and Ed in Ovando as I wanted to push on. Great guy and I really enjoyed cycling with him. It was hot alright but I really enjoyed it, I hardly had any rain the whole route, so unlike what we get on these islands 🌧🌧🌧

Thanks very much Gary!

Thanks a lot Chris, I finished in August after 50 days.

Hey thanks for watching and best of luck with your walking adventure. I’m sure you know there’s a hiking route of the Great Divide as well just not sure how that would work with the walking trailer🤔

@@paddyrast8741 that's why i use bicycle tracks. And yes I crossed the top of the Pyrenees with it but not advisable. Happy travels

Hi Fearghal, thanks a lot and yes we can talk any time, I’m in Donegal

Stephen Williams thanks Stephen

Thanks! I used Garmin 1030 and good old Paper Maps from ACA!

Thanks for watching Jeremy and you will have a blast this July 😃. I’m working on a gear video but in short here are some answers to your questions; Camera is a GoPro 5 and Panasonic TZ90; GPS Garmin Edge 1030; Acepac was great...its jut a bottle bag so no issues there. Sleeping Bag; Mammut 3-Seasons, Tent Big Agnes Fly Creek and the mat was a Thermarest Neo-Air. One can spend a fortune on lightweight stuff and depending on your budget you may have to make compromises.

Yes I did like it a lot but I have nothing else to compare it with as it is the one and only I ever used. It does sway a bit but not to a level that would have annoyed me. I think all these Bags sway to a certain extend unless they’re fixed to some sort of a frame.

Thanks a lot Scott and yeah go and do it, its an incredible experience and by the sounds of it you’re already planning west-east something which is on my hit list too😀. I’ve used the Garmin 1030 because of its battery life which was great. It’s the first bike computer I owned so in don’t have great experience and any negative elements are on my own doing i.e. not spending enough time learning about all the possible settings. That in itself though is a positive meaning its dead easy to use and set-up! I also had paper maps which are great but you don’t really need both. During cycling I always relied on the Garmin and never got lost or had to stop to take maps out etc.. and in the camp I loved looking at the Maps planning my next day, its also easier to plan with Map than looking at a small screen.

@@paddyrast8741 Thanks for getting back to me and sharing your in put.

Martin Arundel hi Martin, thanks for watching and your comment😀 I was lucky indeed with the weather, 1st day was wet after that just a few afternoon showers in NM. There are people offering transport service from the border to the Airports and in regards to room prices I camped most of the time but the 4 nights I stayed in a hotel the average was 60USD. The tires I used where WTB Bridger 3.0

erwin lemmens thanks Erwin😃

Chris York hi Chris thanks for your comment. The only precautions I took is following the general guidelines as in always have the Bear Spray with you, hang the food and toiletries up away from the Tent and don’t eat/cook in or near the tent. Other than that...the luck of showers may have helped to deter any bear from coming near me😀🙄

Thanks a lot. I carried a 20,000mAh Power Bank which was sufficient. I would have loved a Dynamo but there are non-available for a lefty fork. I hope you get to do the divide and best of luck with the planning

Gary S Thanks Gary. I booked a local from Hachita to pick me up and drive me to Tucson 😀

@@paddyrast8741 Thx!

Hi Angus, I’d didn’t race, so it took me 50 very enjoyable days!

@@paddyrast8741 perfect thank you, how did you find the long section between pie town and silver city as there doesn’t seem to be any foods stops on the way ? Trying to get an idea before I set out on the ride next summer

@Angus Cuming I can’t recall it being a problem and I remember staying at a camp site around Lake Robert’s which would have had a shop. I didn’t need it though. At the time I reached that part of the route I got used to carry sufficient food and water. I had problems at the very start in the Canada section where I just didn’t realize how many calories one burns and needs, so that was a lesson learned and from there on I made sure I had sufficient portions on me😋...wish I could do it again this year!

@@paddyrast8741 thank you very much for your advice truly helpful

Robert Botta 50 days averaging 62 miles a day

Paddy Rast thank you. Epic video and I have seen them all. Remarkable.

Robert Botta thanks very much Robert
