Bikepacking Across Michigan's Upper Peninsula - Spring 2024

Strapping a hilltop cinnamon bun to your bike is some real yooper energy.

Tech grad myself and haven't been up there in years. Great to see more of the UP from a biker perspective. Awesome determination buddy 👍

I could not look away. Thanks for taking us along. My perineum felt every jolt, and there were some doozies in there! Congratulations.

My wife and I drove our grandkids along the back roads you took between Marquette and Lance with our pit stop at Mt. Arvon. Beautiful country for sure. Thank you so much for sharing your adventure.

It's strange living in the UP and seeing stuff and being like, "Hey! I know that place!" Since you hardly see UP stuff in the media.

Awesome video dude! A little tip, just take your bike in the store with you. I shop in all kinds of stores, Walmart included, with my bike right by my side. I’ve never had anyone say anything to me. Much better peace of mind than stashing it and hoping for the best.

You're an absolute beast man! Your day two commentary had me in stitches lol. Felt every ounce of that pain and suffering

At 12:00 the reference to the Toyota dealership is hilarious. Really enjoy your videos. Keep it up your doing great stuff. Thank you.

This dude is a machine

That was an exciting adventure to watch. You did some hard core root hogging. I’m glad you updated everyone on your condition after the trip. I was worried you had developed a UTI.

Wow absolutely WOW. I'm from Sault Ste Marie Ontario and seeing all that epic riding thru mud atv trails and conditions. You are a BEAST and Strong what power and determination. LOVED THIS VIDEO ..Raw.

Go Tech! Amazing video 📹 👏.

Now THAT was a major amount of bushwhacking. Sheesh! I am impressed by your endurance and resolve. And I thought I was cool for climbing over fallen trees on railtrails. lol

hey its really cool you show off munising thats my familys town. what a lovely village by the lake check out the lakeshore but plz pick up your trash and keep the waterways clean if you visit.

Hey Pat, you should do a video on your bike setup the drop bar / aero bar setup on a hardtail mtb seems pretty legit.

Nice video, as a long distance, bicycle tourist 58 years old I’ve done many trips, even while I was your age, but I never did that kind of mileage over and over again I think you just overcook to your body to where it couldn’t recover enough to be fresh the next day . A lot of wattage spent pushing through some of those loose dirt roads, then getting off and trudging through the woods. Try some good quality bib shorts to hold your privates in place better to avoid the sting. All the movement was irritating . causing a little inflammation . Maybe more just pure water. I had Achilles tendinitis and custom orthotics helped cure it up. . Nice interstellar music during the bear Pass.😂. Thanks for taking us on your adventure.

As someone who went to NMU my freshman year and MTU for a few years since this is pretty sweet to see this all linked together by a young guy!

Dude, your vids are awesome. Keep 'em coming. You're in line for big things (if that's what you want) Beast mode! Thanks for the inspiration.

First time watcher. We'll done and absolutely loved the sweet roll strap down 😅😅😅. Definitely a new sub.

You've inspired me to make another trip up to the UP from my home base in NE Wisco
