I love that you have Laura in your videos. Seeing her makes me happy 😊

I enjoy that your riding videos incorporate a variety of terrain and road conditions. One never knows what to expect when you two saddle up.

I'm honestly surprised more people don't bike there. A gravel bike or even a XC/hard tail mountain bike seem perfect.

This video was a vibe and I loved cruising along side living vicariously through you guys

Also if y’all are headed west, Bonelli in San dimas has a lot of nice trails. And if you like to under bike a little more, Marshall canyon is a blast!

Marshall is killer on a singlespeed!

I enjoyed the vibe of this ride. Thanks!

There's a good reason why all of the locals ride fat bikes. The gravel roads turn into deep sand without warning! BTW... Thank you for keeping to the roads. Bicycles are absolutely prohibited on the hiking/walking trails!

Hey, I thought you were supposed to hug trees - not pet them! Ha ha! Great video and, yes, I know who Punky Brewster is.

Always great content, thanks for posting this.

If you want to ride Joshua Tree, i highly recommend 2.8 wide tires min. The best mountain bike trails in So Cal are in Joshua Tree, section 6 off park and onaga - experienced riders only.

You inspired us to go ride Joshua Tree NP for the first time. Rode Geology Tour and Queens Mines roads. I think the recent rain really helped Geology Tour Road not be a slog of a climb. The highlight for me was off the bike and hiking Hidden Valley.

Thank you for the info! I have always wanted to ride there.

Great overview of what is possible in Joshua Tree NP. There are some less passable routes but as Laura said, you had the best opening with the light rain on the hours before. Three days before I saw a bird in Death Valley NP Dec 2016, and it was a Logger Head Shrike.

Great stuff as usual. We tried on our 20 inch wheel folding bikes and the sand got a little deep at times. Great bike packing spots at Ryan Campground for sure!-BG

Love that loop! There are def some times of the year that you'd need fatter tires though! Lots of soft sand!

looks so peaceful!

Im hoping to go later this year! I live 30 miles east of LA so this would be a fun localish trip!

The alt bar setup looks so kuch more comfortable. And it's actually an alpha masculine move to be comfortable with the "punky brewster" grips, that look stylish, yet probably feel great.

Did this ride last Sunday, and that one way section rips. Maybe the nicest section of sand I've ever ridden a bike on.

I got to ride Me Tree a few years ago on my Crust Romeo. I had some 26" Super Yummys but I think I was riding with the pressure too high. I need to go back with tires that have a wider knob spacing and lower pressures. Thanks for the cid!

Tried most of the dirt roads in JT and you picked the best; rest are sand pits. Paved roads tend to be the best alternative as Park speed limits for cars are kept low.

Biking is best, thanks for sharing 🙂

2:04 Had the chance to attend a taping at NBC Studios with my class as a field trip. I was actually surprised to see you guys know the reference. Silver Spoons was another fave!

Nice video. Thanks.

Love the he ride!!!! Wish I lived closer, here in Alabama we don’t have such

Lots of sandy unpaved roads indeed. It’s like it is the desert or something lol. In all seriousness, you must listen to the Desert Oracle show Friday evenings at 10 pm (it’s in podcast format also.) when in JT. So much campfire story time an weird high desert tales. You can also find the books at the Space Cowboy Books store. Highly recommend ✌🏼happy new year guys. Plans to stop at Luft bike shop in Venice by any chance?

Pretty day for a ride! Any plans for any upcoming coffee shop, cool bike shop, and or fly fishing episodes?

Awesome video thank You! Can you post the Strava link? Going to do some gravel while we’re in the neighborhood for the Tour de Palm Springs!

No other cyclists out there that day? It seems like the perfect way to visit. Walking is slow, cars are isolating, and bikes are awesome!

You guys are the BEST! I love all of your videos, but, it would be helpful if you provided just a little more data in your narration. In this case, how short was short in terms of ride length?

Those trails are also open to cars but they aren't as busy as the asphalt roads.

Russ -- love that trail & the overall scenery, also envious to spy you Paul Klampers on your bike. BTW, what do you two carry in your handlebar bags?

@@PathLessPedaledTV thx. Incidentally, your channel very inspirational. I'm planning to build a bike based on a bare steel frame w/ all mechanical components, and your videos are quite helpful.

How beautiful to see when it's not 150 degrees.

Do you have a strava link for this? Or the route link?

What are those riser/alt bars u have on your ride??

FYI, the court case allowing small “commercial” content creation in NP’s without a permit was overturned on appeal late last year, just a heads up. I have not heard if the NPS is enforcing it or not.

"Hey man, take it, it's free. Enjoy it, 'cause they're over. OVER!!"

Liked the video but..... I am preparing for a trip so I was hoping to get more specific, technical info. Where you parked, admission , how many miles was the loop? basic info.

Does anyone make Joshua specific tires???

How many "backcountry" miles can you get out there? Is there a map you'd recommend? I'd like to put together about 100 miles of dirt/gravel, I wouldn't mind going outside the park if it made sense to link things together. Thanks!

can you share the route@

No goats head thorns out there?

Very very dry and beige.

I plan on doing this ride within the next month or 2 with my puppy. How dog friendly is it?

@juicebox11959

Not so much... I used to climb in JT a lot but then got my dog and dogs are not allowed on trails. your only choice to walk the dog is on the dirt roads. The Park is very busy now and there are always cars passing so not the best but okay for a first time visit. It is a very fragile ecosystem so I understand why dogs aren't allowed on trails but its still a bummer.

What do you guys do for a living that allows you to travel so much and ride?

Dave -- Joshua Tree is on the Southern edge of the Mojave Desert in Southern California, a _beautiful_ part of the world. I have family in Ridgecrest, CA, a couple hours away & we went there a few times when I was growing up.

I completely forgot about Punky Brewster...Must have lost interest once Alf came along....

Dang you are close to my house and already riding more than I have in my area

Alabama Hills next!
