Bikepacking The New Mexico Off Road Runner-Ep 1
SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL ► bit.ly/DUZERTVSUB
This is a series about bikepacking from Santa Fe to Las Cruces on the New Mexico Off Road Runner. We pedaled up high into the mountains and got snowed on, met lots of wonderful humans, and finished off in the hot desert near Las Cruces. Info about this route can be found here: bikepacking.com/routes/new-me...

I have to admit, and I enjoy all your videos, that the series where you have one or more companion are the best. People bring you up and it shows in these videos. Also very much enjoy the har head in your video. From an army Vet to a marine vet “try not to eat your crayons brother”. You are representing well all kidding aside.

Hi Ryan you say that your ole ole socks are made in the USA but you might find that the Merino wool is grown right here in New Zealand so next time you promote your socks can you give NZ a shout out for growing the wool. Loving your videos i especially love your trip through Sweden, if you ever are going to do another big trip abroad you might want to consider New Zealand we have some fantastic routes like the tour Aotearoa which is 3000km (1865 miles) from the top of the country to the bottom. hope to see you in NZ one day.
