it's day 17 cycling across the USA from Miami to LA Auto Rose money for the fantastic cause get
kids going in today's episode we're riding from Raceland to Morgan City and we're testing out yet
another bike setup in the form of a big trailer on the back of Justin's bike you're really happy
about this aren't you whoa I have a prediction power this is going to go what's your prediction
that that's gonna go terribly can't be worse than yesterday things can always get worse
somewhere where we've got just over 300 hours say what to beat the majority of the
rain majority of the oh so we're going to ride in the rain we're 100 gonna ride in the room
look at it they spend enough time outside to know that this is not sunny weather [Music]
this is day two splitting our roots to make it slightly shorter when we're coming out of New
Orleans good thing we did because experimenting with this trailer has definitely taking way more
time than we thought this solution we've got today is definitely working but it's really
hard work for Justin he's way slower putting way more effort in and it rolls significantly
slower than just a wheelchair on the back of the bike on its own which is a bit of a
surprise I mean I know it's slightly heavier but we thought maybe with one less wheel it
would be comparable but no I guess because it's got a bigger footprint it's higher up in the air
it's just catching the wind way more not nice for him we're gonna have to figure out something else
definitely a day for one of these six and a half miles down
okay and I think I held a very respectable 11.5
miles an hour average don't tow a trailer why would anyone buy one of these [Music]
we've been going about an hour now and the trailer hasn't fallen off so I would say a
temporary solution is a success we've uh obviously put Justin on the inner tube as well so now we are
a big rolling Convoy and we covering decent ground I think we're doing 16 15 mile an hour fast enough
that we're actually getting places the trailer on its own on the back of Justin's bike not good
again we need to distribute things better now the issue is our brains are at capacity we're
already focusing so much on the riding and then the editing at the end of the day and then getting
everything sorted and then making sure the ride in the next day is planned but oh dog attack oh he's
on a string now we haven't got much brain power left to think about other solutions to the trailer
problem so I mean if anyone has any suggestions comment section down below the underlying thought
in the back of my mind is two-wheel trailer I hear they're a lot more stable and they won't
affect my bike and how it feels as much so that could be an option it is now raining quite a lot
[Music]
good stuff I was just thinking wouldn't it be nice if we found a gas station where
we could sit in be warm and see our bikes and lo and behold wow we have been gifted a treat
because of the weather situation we've opted for lunch at 10 30 in the morning
at a gas station because we're still kind of near New Orleans we get po boys
do you want a famous candy I think I'm a Bob I think I'm a bobbin yeah all right
then well they don't actually sell anything here they do have a watch I'm recorded though
yeah I've never seen this before really yeah it's actually pretty good peanut
butter caramel like with a little crust to it it's always been cool to watch
them record it yeah they had a what's your what's a maduget they have that too but it
didn't do well it didn't do well no it wasn't as successful as the washing my
toilet yes been around for a while not even hungry right now but lightsaber
warm it's getting worse it's getting worse it's definitely I really don't want to go out there
we just um stay here start a new life in the gas station on the plus side we do start a new life
here we're next to the cleanest Casino around how bad was it that they have to advertise it
like that can you imagine super clean super clean all the way into town oh really yeah well that's
gonna be fun I ride my motorcycle great land of Schreiber you can talk about this the rest of your
life populations nothing's about five thousand you want to know anything about this town come
to the ShopRite they're not the one to talk about anybody but they can tell you about anything that
happens here okay she's like a worm unless there's an Uber available a what Uber [Music]
foreign course we spent way too long at our gas station now it's got even wetter
to know what the forecast said well this is gonna be us riding into a headwind in the rain
26 miles and then we'll get to Morgan City oh lovely lovely little Motel you okay back there
your silence is inspiring Justin oh huh I can't open the house watch out piece of car
the guys at the gas station said that this weather is unusual for this time of year
usually this is the best time to visit the area it's not too hot not too cold gorgeous
so that's good
to add some more fun to the day Francis just got a puncture so now uh
you all right yeah I love cycling
[Music]
's kind of
yeah because your wheel's not spraying me of [ __ ] all the time now
look at my glasses you see that hang on
that's what I can see the whole time oh he's sticking the worm into the wheel
again luckily the hole is really obvious he said luckily the hole
was really obvious because otherwise he'd struggle to put it into the obvious one
there's some weird [ __ ] by the side of the road here he means there's a lot of dead things some of
which are mummified somehow here's some pump action Francis a pump action Francis is like
a weird toy you could buy in a shop if people would like to purchase a pump action Francis
please let us know in the comments and we will try and arrange for this to go onto his patreon
at least we're on a really nice Road I repeat
you know how on normal bikes a lot of the time you have a little mud guard flap so every time
it's raining you don't get sprayed in loads of [ __ ] well we don't have those on hand bikes
you just get sprayed with loads of [ __ ] and if you're behind a cyclist you get double sprayed
with everything on the ground I don't know how hygienic this road surface is
but I think I'm gonna bathe in antibiotics when we get back to the hotel you've got two punches
Francis has two punches yes yeah it's not the best day today oh there's a caterpillar on me
huh oh today's already looking at yeah what's his name I don't know I just flicked him off
