The Baja Divide Pt. 1 - Cycling Alaska to Argentina Episode 14 

Your videos are amazing. I’ve watched 100’s of bikepacking videos, and yours are some of the best I’ve seen. I’ve bikepacked parts of the GDMBR and the route you took in Oregon, the Oregon Outback, as well as I rode across the US in 2022. You are living my next bucket list ride, and I greatly appreciate your documentation of your trip. Your photography is both amazing and inspiring. Thank you! 🙏 As another “famous” bikepacking videographer says, “No Flatties, No Whammie and no more Crashies”

Keep going Dan! You're taking the trip I always wanted to (and still might one day). You're a model of optimism and determination.

I was just thinking about the conditions of your tires after such a long way right before you crashed. Glad it wasn't a major crash.

31:54 - was that you drinking tap water? That's brave. Great trek, Dan. Really enjoying the regular updates and your positivity.

I love the absolute happiness that you radiate, it is very contagious, congratulations for that and for the quality of your videos, I hope the knee has already healed!! Enjoy the trip and don't stop showing it to us, thank you very much for that!

Several weeks ago now, I spotted you on Highway 1, Dan, near Santa Cruz, CA. It was shortly after stumbling upon your channel. Sighting you randomly was a hoot. You do great work, lad.

It's always a wonderful surprise to see your monthly posts. Glad you survived the fall without any serious damage. Hang in there and stay safe! ♥

this is a great channel mexico looks great, i remember those big rocks from the trails around san diego, would be a giant pain to bike a road like that

Must I look forward to you on the road video reports. It is easy to see you do a lot of extra riding with all the self video,and it does make it more interesting! Really like your music choices, not so hard on the ears. Keep that great attitude, safe travels, Tom

Great work, I particularly liked the part before the fall... A long immersive sequence...

Dan, My wife and I watched this together and we are both familiar with traveling in Baja. As you kept on eating tacos i mentioned out loud 'wow all these tacos and no stomach problems so far'. Sure enough we laughed when you mentioned the bad tacos. I assume you are taking the ferry to Mazatlan, there are good bike shops there and I assume you can get the tire that you need if you call ahead to get it in stock. (i visited Kelly's before but I believe RIDER BIKE should also get you what you may need). Try the ceviche when you arrive there. Safe Travels.

awesome i love the looks of these desert roads but going without water on it must be a challenge!

Thanks. Another fantastic video! Nice to see the hospitality you received. If you hit the pedals hard, you might catch up with Greg and Victoria 😅 I also watch all the ads on your videos. Not sure if your channel is monetized though. RU-vid got quite annoying lately with lots of unskippable ads. If it weren’t for outstanding film makers like yourself, I would abandon the place.

What an adventure! May you have safe tacos and safe travels! Thank you for another amazing video.

Great video. Lots of work must go into making these.

Your dedication to the shots is INCREDIBLE!! 2 miles away up a hill…just to come back to get the camera and do it again. I admire your work. Cheers from Canada!!

Absolutely loving the videos Dan, glad to see you weren’t hurt!

I want to appreciate the longer video and increased use of POV on the trails, please do more of that. I'm a bike rider and that gives me a lot better feel for what the different trails are like. I also know video editing is a lot of work so thanks for doing that.

Great trip prayers for your safety.

Awesome video my dude! High five from Oakland, California! 🎉❤

Looking way better in the new helmet!

We have been enjoying every one of your episodes. Both learning about and seeing your journey has been inspirational. You obviously have a knack for capturing the videos but also know how to select the right scenes and arrange each episode. The Baja looks majestic however quite challenging to ride. When you had your fall you mentioned that it could have been quite serious particularly as you were on your own. I very briefly thought - no you're not on your own as I was right there! Well done. We are looking forward to you next episode and ride safe. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Bless you Dan. I so much enjoy following your adventures. Praying for NO MORE falls off the bike!

Just loving your videos! Your positivity speaks volumes - I’ve unsubscribed from some channels where whining and complaining were more important than the journey. Safe travels - can’t wait to see the next video!

🤗

❤❤❤

Love every video

Thank you, Dan, for allowing me to live vicariously through you. May God keep and protect you. Well done, darling.

Excellent Dan ,take care out there 👏

Great episode. Baja is amazing.

Absolutely stunning video. Together with a shock moment!!! You are a brave man cycling. Take care and enjoy 💙

Always great to watch. Following you all the way to Argentina!

I share these with my Dad :)

Great vid,One day,I will do it. What day and month was that, because perfect temperature, not hot.

Where are you getting water in Baja? Are you carrying more now?

Better to be poor in Mexico than poor in Alaska

you should learn spanish, from here all countries speak spanish

You better learn some basic español this is just the beginning

It warms my heart to see that my people have been kind to you. We tend to get a bad rap at times, but deep down the people are kind and caring . Continue safe travels mi amigo! Om yo!

Fantastic videos Dan! Thanks for bringing us viewers along your ride

I love that the last line of this video is “hard-earned tacos”

Holy shit. Finally visited after seeing you on TikTok. Please keep making videos this freaking awesome

Great job on the videos! Made me want to go bike touring and eat tacos

You have a great attitude about your journey! Keep it up!

Great video. Could see the fall coming as I watched the video. Glad you're ok though. The first fall in around 5000 miles of cycling is impressive. Stay safe.👍

Hey Dan… I too Vlog (Soulmate Cyclists on YT). I’ve been looking for a camera upgrade from my old iPhone 7+… I’ve narrowed it down to two… and you are carrying BOTH OF THEM!!! So… I’d love your advice: I understand the pro’s & con’s of the Sony RX100 VII V’s the GoPro11… but if you could only take one… which one would it be? When’s the next video… finishing what you have tonight! Have fun. Be safe. Optimistic Chris

Dan Cycles the. i saw your channel many issue..for main reason channel and video SEO...your channel nit SEO this way your channel not get engagement..i think you solved this problem and you get your targeted engagement

Another great video Dan. I love your positive attitude throughout. And Baja looks incredible. I've been to Mexico a couple of times and likewise have always found the people to be so friendly. Derek in Ottawa.

I really miss Mexico food how much budget daily did you use on that route and how much water did you carry

Hi Dan, loving your videos. Very inspiring. Thanks. Can I ask. What visas and paper work you needed for your journey from the UK? As it is something I dream of doing. In the future. Keep pedaling 😊🖐️🚴

Wonderful. Thanks for sharing. Curious, what camera(s)/drone are you using? Thank you.

I would love to know more about your navigation and planning of routes. It seems like you do everything effortlessly without ever getting turned around or confused.

Thoroughly enjoy your videos and your spirit. Look forward to the next one

Hello. Big fan of your videos. Can you please tell me on what device you edit your videos and what program? Thanks.

Hey Dan, great series, I'm seriously loving it! I have to ask - the shots when you're riding towards/away from the camera... Do you set up the camera, ride away & back, or do you use your drone and just fly it back to you?

Always an adventure just watching your videos. Can't imagine what it is like actually doing it! Keep it up!

It looks like you're drinking unfiltered water, which might be how you got your empachada (spanish for an upset stomach), not from the tacos. Stay safe and stay healthy.

Hi Dan, what size thermarest chair do you have? I’m trying to fit my pad and would like a little guidance. Also, good on ya for taking the time to share with everyone. Your videos are inspiring.

Hopefully someone can tell me…How does he know exactly where he is going and what will be there at his destination? What type of navigation device? Thank you 😊

Keep it up Dan! Love the videos!

that's just incredible! Would you like to try out some sports earphones perfect for biking? We love your videos! We'd be happy to provide them to you for free to try out!

Love your videos. Can you tell me please what you use to store and edit your video files? Thank you

what an amazing video! i love watching your journey :)

That was awesome, I'm gonna have to check out more of your videos!

❤

GOD BLESS YOU!! on your road!! NEVER GIVE UP!!

I have really enjoyed tagging along on your adventure. Stay safe and upright.

You're so optimistic Dan! Even after a crash and a hard day, you seem to have this way of always looking on the bright side. Really enjoy your videos mate. Following along from Australia. Cheers

Hey there bro, met you yesterday at playa tesoro, stoked for you man, keep it up, you're an inspiration

I don't think you get into Mexico City but it'd be lovely to say hi if you're nearby

Well done as usual, really enjoyed this session. Nice hat as well 😅, looks like it fits you.

С большим удовольствием я посмотрел твой фильм. Природа в фильме очень сильно отличается от того где я живу. Мне было интересно. Удачи тебе! Больше интересных дорог и меньше падений ! )))

Love following along with your adventure!!
