Pedaling Across America: Don and Susan's Excellent Adventure 

Been watching a lot if cycling videos and finally starting to find people my ages ..😊

This is so great. Did a similar route in 2016 and had SUCH a similar experience with SD. The "OMG I rode my bike to SD from Maine" reaction, it was our favorite state, the black hills were a favorite day, the badlands were unexpectedly amazing, and though we didn't go through Wessington Springs, our night in Wessington was our best night/favorite people. So few go through SD, and I tell everyone how much they're missing out. Cheers!

Great achievement Don! Thanks for sharing this great video, I really enjoyed watching it.

I rode across the country this summer too and it was cool to see how our experiences were the same and different. Our routes didn't match up too much, maybe just in Wyoming. Nice video!

I am 36 and have a wife and a son turning 1.5. I hope to do many trips like this with them both 🙂

congratulations! You are an inspiration!

I'll be reading Don's blog as I ride from Arizona to Key West starting in March. Great video awesome story telling.

Wow, what an awesome trip and story. Being a grandfather myself it was pretty emotional when your grandchildren surprised you on the road and the welcome home from friends and family. You're very fortunate and did a great job of sharing this adventure. This is the stuff every cyclist dreams of. All the best to you and your wonderful wife. ✌

Congrats on your journey across the states Don! What an awesome experience it must have been. Thoroughly enjoyed this video from start to end. I know its an older video but was glad I found it.. It is something that I have dreamed about doing for awhile now but don't think it will come to fruition.. Thanks for sharing!

What a great video!! 💕

Great job, and video Arizona boy.

Well done and thank you for sharing your journey. Truly inspiring.

Thanks, Don. I'm always looking for motivation. I'm flying from Iowa to Amsterdam in late April and riding through 5-6 different countries until I reach Switzerland. Rather than take my 64cm bike to Europe, I purchased a bike in Amsterdam. After I arrive in Switzerland, I'll take my bike on a train to Sweden where I have some friends. They have agreed to store my bike until I hopefully return in 2024. Your smiles and tears were both very heartwarming. Awesome accomplishment. I'm so impressed.......great wife also!

Inspirational. We’ll done!

Well done Don & Susan for achieving what you have and a great video from over here in the UK. Its particularly great to see some one riding a bike the same shape as me Don. I can understand why you both got emotional when talking about your family and friends as well as they're the most precious things we have in our lives. Stay safe out there Ted.

Don what an awsome adventure . I enjoyed your report. 🚴🚴🚴🚴

Awesome video!! I agree with you that this country has the greatest people .

That was a great watch, all the best from Scotland!

Excellent video, Don and Susan! Such an epic adventure, and brings back so many memories of a similar trip, especially the kindness and curiosity of the people along the way. I wish I had had such a supportive and fun partner with me on my ride!

That looked fantastic, well done and all the best from England. 👍

Thanks for sharing Don and Susan. Beautiful story and video. Loved it.

This is how to do a biking video - well done!

Epic journey 👏 congratulations! Thank you for taking the time to share your adventure. All the best from England.

Great story Don and Susan!!! Absolutely inspiring!

Awesome video, i loved your emotions when the grandkids came and and when friends came out for your homecoming !

This was an amazing video truly inspirational the longest I have cycle is a Crossing, my own state or the Katy Trail here in Missouri

That must have been an very exciting adventure for you both. I'm a germany and I'm planning a trip on Bicycle from N.Y. to the West Coast in 2024. I'm retiered and about your age and now I'm thinking:" I can do the trip". Great.Best wishes from Germany.

very well done. i am retiring this year and may do the same thing with my wife in 2024. I have a route planned, west to east. Thanks for confirming your method worked!

Love the last part of this video . "We are all capable of some amazing shhh---stuff." Or in my case, we can always start over. Cycling across America this year. Wish me luck!

Awesome Video 🥰 Greetings from germany 😍

Fantastic! Loved listening to your journey across the US last year. Well done!!

Whoo HOOO!!! What an awesome video documenting this amazing adventure!! Loved every second of it!!

Very well made. Enjoyed hearing about this grand adventure. Made me curious about the San Juan Islands. Congratulations!

What an awesome joint adventure! My partner and I bikepack and are always looking for new trails and routes. In 2022 we completed the GAP/C&O and Katy Trail. Thank you for the NYS shoutouts. We live 10 minutes south of the southern Adirondack Blue Line (border) and 20 minutes north of the Erie Canal Trail which we ride often and have completed end-to-end several times.

Thoroughly enjoyable video.

Oh that was great story,inspiring!🙂👌

You were so lucky that your wife was able & willing to travel along & carry all the gear! 😁

Great video and definitely has inspired me to ride across the country one of these days.

What a great video! It goes without saying that Susan and Don's adventure was epic, but the way you presented it is what makes this so entertaining and engaging. I love the in-person narration that's so well done and lets viewers see the emotions of the trip - especially the family meeting en route and the homecoming. Of course the scenery shots were pretty nice too. Many hours of editing no doubt - well done to you, and of course to Don and Susan too!

What a [way !!!] TO DO IT 💪😁🤟🍦🏊🏊🏊🍍😋🙏🙏🙏🙏

got me crying @ 32:00

How wide were your tires? What kind? Nice vid.

An amazing epic adventure, but in truth I am jealous because I was able to get from Seattle to Crawford, NE and then had to bail. But I be back for to do it in stages. Our routes were virtually the same through Wyoming (windy!). I got chased by a lot of dogs, but the one just east of Crowheart was the smartest one. It lay in the grass, didn't bark, and waited for you to ride by before it tore after you. I met 3 parties of cyclists at the Crowheart store (which has great homemade baked goods BTW) and they'd all been chased by the same dog.
