I came across this guy's youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDz...BQQHwis9nJVhew

He lives in Sonoma (I think) and just cruises around educating folks about randonneur-styled riding. Great disposition, great banter between him and his sidekick. Just good vibes.

Cool thanks for sharing. I don't end up that far north but now I'll have to plan something.

Very cool link. Now I need to set time aside to watch.

Good stuff! This is going in to the YouTube cycling rotation with Francis Cade and Phil Gaimon.

I just discovered this guy looking for videos of the Humboldt randonneurs Unknown Coast 300k. The videos have a really great light fun vibe with a pleasant rapport with his friend Ms. Cools. Quickly some of my favorite cycling vids. They capture the pleasure of Northern California riding wonderfully.

Well said . There is a really nice beauty with how he does it. You really feel his purpose is all about the love of riding.

Don't know the guy, but he does have good taste in many things I too appreciate. Really well put together video of what makes cycling and Sonoma County a pretty great combination. Good to have a friend with common interests .

[doomridesout]

I also appreciate that he's clearly in love with Ms. Cools. Vanishingly rare to have the element of breezy romance in bike videos (see, e.g. the Unknown Coast 300k video).

this guy is a way better than average vlogger. Not quite sure how he puts it together. Quite the cycling bay area lifestyle document. Marin can be ok too.

Perhaps we should merge these threads. Love this guy and Ms Cools.


I really wish he blow up enough to get paid to fund his blogs. I would love to see him just do adventures all over the place.

Not everything should go "corporate" or "global" just because we can...sometimes it's good to let it stay off the mainstream, on the sideline, lesser-known, home-made...retains its flavor.

Inspired by the videos, I brought my rando bike out for a ride ...

I watched his 300k Lost Coast ride last night. This guy is great. Ms Cools seems lovely. I see he's also got a VW bus in one of his other videos.

I just watched his vlog on Levi’s GranFondo from this year. I was really impressed with the quality of production and his bike handeling skills !!! I rode most of the roads he was filming on and lots of times he rode with only one or no hands on his bars !!! I couldn’t imagine doing that especially on some of descents, I wanted both hands on the bars most of the ride. Makes me look like a rookie bike handler.

Thanks for sharing the link. His Lost Coast 300 is very cool too.
