CYCLING THE PACIFIC COAST from CANADA to MEXICO on my Surly LHT- A Bike Tour of a LIFETIME!!!

Your dad is awesome for going with you. I am sure he not only enjoyed the trip, but also knowing his daughter was safe.

Thank you for posting your travels, I am a Canadian collecting an old age pension, yet still out there cycle touring and camping almost every night. I started as a teenager and have learned a few thinks along the way, and I to have a Long Haul Trucker. Three items that jumped out, your Dad is riding Schwalbe Marathon tires, you should change to these as well. They last twice as long and flats are almost a think of past memories. Both your chain rings are standard that came with the bike, change them out to a mountain bike triple 26/36/48. you are on a loaded tour you never need the big 52 tooth ring, yet you wish for that 26 granny gear on the hills. Or you can look forward to knee surgery latter in life. For, rain throw a light set of water prove garden gloves in handlebar bag, riding in the rain down big hills those fingers get cold quickly. As Mark Twain stated " I am never spent a colder winter than my summer in San Francisco ( in the rain). My San Francisco day was lovely and sunny a few days later I enjoyed a "Mark Twain summer". How was your navigation through San Francisco I turned and turned never missed a turn, yet that was a maze to get through. Loved those $5.00 a night campsites just for cycle tourist with peddles, or hikers.

That was an awesome watch. As a new dad of a baby girl I hope that when she's your age shell be willing to go on a grand adventure with her old man

What a wonderful dad you have. It's not common that dads spent their time in such a way with their kids. All the best for you both and thanks for sharing your experiences.

That was so inspiring and touching, made me smile and brought a tear to my eye.... I love that you made these memories with your Dad.

Let’s see, what did I like about this video? Hmmmmm. EVERYTHING! •videography and editing •unobtrusive music • narration •use of stills, video, and time lapse •the father/daughter thing •your sweet southern accent Glad you enjoyed my home state of California!

What a wonderful opportunity to make such a ride with your Dad. Wish I could have done similar with mine. He died 6 years ago from poor health. I miss him so much.

OMG, I'm the dad, and have 2 daughters. I've done fun things with them, but nothing as big as this. You're an awesome daughter for going with your old man on such an epic trip! I've lived in the Santa Cruz area and hiked and biked from SF to Big Sur, and really enjoyed those pictures.

I'm glad you guys enjoyed our beautiful state of California. You did a great job editing and narrating your video.✌️🇺🇸

Wow the Redwood were amazing!! I must addd those to my bucket list of rides.

Thank you for sharing your story. Spending that time with your Dad will be with you forever.

Every bodies already said it, but I'll add one too.. "You got the coolest old man" with a heart of gold, and your a great gal too. Stay safe out there and loved the trip..

Great trip and great video. My first bike tour started the day after I graduated high school in 1983. I rode from near Lake Tahoe to Ft. Bragg on the Mendocino coast, then down to LA. I was hooked! After not cycling for the last 20 years I'm getting back into it and really appreciate all the great YouTube trip videos for inspiration.

I really enjoyed your video. You did a great job of editing, music, and commentary. It made me feel I was right there. Can't wait to do this ride!

Yes, you are so right “the best things in life are experiences, especially with those you love”. Thank you both for sharing such fun and beautiful moments. You are both an incredible inspiration. I am so looking forward to having such adventures with the people I love. Thank you ❤

Great video Aspen! Love your personality coming through on the video. Congratulations! You will look back on this trip with your dad with fond memories for years. You both will! Thanks for making the video.
