This is one great video. Thanks for sharing. Gonna have to do this ride.
Epic journey. I’ve ridden about 1/3 of the route. Thanks for sharing. I’m surprised that it didn’t look like you were filtering the water from the streams. I did that once, never again. I got so sick.
Great video!!! A few corrections for you if your care, North Bend not Fort Bend and Wenatchee not Watachee. We are planning on doing some of this route this summer from La Push to Edmonds in 4 days. Looks like blast!

Thanks for the corrections.
What a beautiful place to ride!! How did the solo stove lite work for you? I’ve been eyeing one of those for backpacking.

I quite like the solo stove. It is more work than a gas stove but I like not worrying about if I have enough fuel for the trip.
Super trip Rob ! Did you plan to ride the last part to Idaho border ? What is the width of your tire please (cause i'm planning to ride this trail from Seattle to South Spokane next June (i come from France to take my son back home after one year in high school)

I was riding 2.2" tires. They were good for this route.
Nice trip! Was that a Fargo you were riding? Did you find it well-suited for this route?

It is a Fargo and a good bike for this route. Some of the single track is moderately difficult. If you can ride blue trails on your bike it is good. Long gravel road sections too so you need to balance it.
This version fixes the audio sync issues.
Why the Uhaul(s)? Does it allow you to get to a town with Uhaul services and no Rental car services?

Yes, we couldn't get one way car rental, so we opted for a Uhaul.
