Could you ride 455 miles across Iowa with your partner on a tandem bike? 🤣🚴🚴‍♀️🌽🍺

Probably not😂😂

❤️❤️❤️

Hi

nope

Willing to give it a shot!

I feel like Kara and Nate’s videos have been getting gradually longer…. And I’m here for it!!!

Yeah

My Sunday prayers are thank you lord for my life and please let Kara and Nate video on

No haha 😂

Yes me to! The longer the better Bc I could watch them all day long!!

the longer, the better😝

I am so incredibly impressed with Evie (I think she is Evie?) Rick's older daughter. She cycled every single mile and did not complain and had the most energy - not that I heard!! Way to go for a 9 year old!!!!!!!

Honestly im older than her and have less energy than her lol

@✧ 𝐵𝓁𝓍𝑒𝑅𝓍𝓈𝑒 ✧ I KNOW! I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU (I’m 15 😭😭)

Kara waking up and complaining about people laughing and joking is me every morning. Lol. My favorite part of the video

The fact that Nate brings Kara a coffee every morning ❤️‍🔥 I love u guys xx

Probably in nates vows

Apart from the fact you guys are amazing and inspirational, I would say most people have no idea of the efforts you go to for your video footage. Your multiple techniques, (the camera, the drone, the selfie stick etc) the editing, the absolutely amazing editing. The hours of filming, footage, editing, etc is tremendous. I just want you to know that when I watch your videos I can appreciate the efforts you go to. I applaud 👏🏼 you both. X

Thank you SO much for the encouragement :)

I love Kara's positivity throughout this long journey

I love Sarah!! “If one more person drives past the tandem and says that I’m not pedaling, they’re getting he middle finger!!!” She’s awesome!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

She is amazing

I’m seriously loving these adventure videos so much! I started watching all your videos from the beginning during lockdown in Sydney Australia (3 months in) and are now up to watching the new ones and they are really motivating me to start planning an adventure once we can travel again! Thank you Kara & Nate ❤️❤️

The lives you guys live, the accomplishments, you’re so blessed. I love this channel.

Im so impressed with how the little one can bike for so long!. Good for her to get out with her family and do this, I know people who wouldn't do this and she pushed herself. Also amazing videos again Kara and Nate! I love the long videos. I keep coming back to these ones because I plan on doing this with one of my friends.

I loved this video! I am a native Iowan, and I love to see other people enjoy Iowa! It is a wonderful state, and yes, the people are really that friendly. And I love all the "Hey, look! There's some corn!" comments! We do have a lot of it. 🌽

I had no idea this was a thing and now I want to do it so bad. I love how its not just a bike ride but this really big event all the towns on the route are totally into. Everything seems so streamlined and awesome.

This has gone from a travel channel to an experience channel and I couldn’t be happier, so much inspiration.

It just for the click bait. It gives more views.

This is awesome!!!! I wanna ride with you two someday!

*Too*

@Lyf2short I think he/she meant two as in you two but I could be wrong

This is absolute GOLD!! I’m from the first over night town, Sac City. We loved having RAGBRAI come through our town and seeing it from a bikers perspective is so fun! Glad you enjoyed your time in our corn filled state and got to witness Iowa nice.

How often does it go through towns? I just now realized that it changes every year, but it's gotta loop again.

I grew up in Iowa. I’ve lived in Chicago a long time. I’m currently on the road like you! I’m 52, BUT I have never wanted to do Ragbrai until now. Thanks so much. You’re, hands down, my favorite YouTubers!!!!❤️

The physical challenges they put themselves through just to entertain is awe inspiring

If it’s one channel out of all of YouTube it’s gatta be you and Nate!!! Because you and him have so much energy to get through anything that life throws at y’all. Y’all are the best and i will never forget y’all ❤❤❤

Kara’s reaction to people being happy and joking at 6am is hilarious.

Same reaction as me 😌

@Anupama Jha me 2 I just grunt good morning but dont expect nothing else lol

*Kara and Nate are a huge inspiration to many including us

Rara ????

@sherrita80 least you grunt. You might get a glance from me.

no one can understand my joy when they said rick and bec were joining them on the ride! the girls are so fun and this is gonna make for a great few videos:)

Having been to the Midwest, I cracked up at, “We can see the water tower!” It’s like the opposite of car mirrors: “Objects in the Midwest are much farther than they appear.”

Oh my goodness! My team of 2 and I, I was the support driver/nurse, were there! This was was our 1st RagBrai too! We will be back next year! I hope to run into you guys if you guys do it again! Best adventure we have ever done and watching your video of your experience just brought back amazing memories of this summer and kinda made me emotional…

Its so funny watching everyone stare at Kara and Nate passing them and Kara is just like, "HEY HOW R U WOOO!!!!!!"

Is anybody else watching them ride their bike for like 12 hours in sitting on their bed sick with a cold because that’s me I have nothing else to do and nothing else makes me happier than watching Kara and Nate love you guys

Kara's "Ugh." is so relatable when Nate mentioned the people that were laughing and enjoying life at 6 am. 😂 same Kara, same.

*Kara and Nate are a huge inspiration to many including us

I played it twice 😂🤣

I am Kara until I have coffee lol

I can not tell you how cool it is to watch two people you’ve been watching travel the world for years, enjoy the place you live!! It gives me goosebumps almost. This video is also super inspiring and totally makes me wanna do it next year!

This has been my favorite video! I was born, raised, and still located in Northeast Iowa! Ragbrai went through our town in 2019 ( they didn't run last year ) Would have loved to meet you guys! You were what started my dream of getting a skoolie!! Welcome to Iowa! Enjoy! It truly is an amazing place!

Your guys life is unreal. These videos are so heartwarming & full of love. I love watching!! ❤️ The pure joy just makes me smile

Once you did the hour vlogumentaries, showing us how you put it together and kept us entertained and tuned in.. now all I do is hope your next one is gonna be hour long

Felt like we were riding with you guys.... if only (Still stick here in Australia). What a great bike trip. Looks like everyone had a great time. Good on you guys. Great effort legends. :)

The community aspect of this event has made my heart feel so full watching this. With all that we have been through recently, watching people get together and support the local community through pies and meals supporting the local fire department. Along with the cheer coming from everyone riding and on the side lines brings a smile to my face to see positive, active and happy people supporting a fun event in our country.

I agree with you, I’m a person who hates to bike but the community and how it feels in this video makes me wanna do this and I live in Europe ^^ I can think myself planning my vacation for this just how the amazing it seemed

The part of America that shines... hospitality. In today's world it's really heart-warming to see so many people come together. Peace out.

Rara you realize you don't have to write the same exact reply under multiple comments, right?

There’s just something about this video I love so much. I’ve watched every single of of your videos but I’ve had this one on repeat since it’s been out! Cannot wait for part 2!!!

As a resident of MN only 8 Miles from the IA border, I'm so glad you have had the opportunity to experience the upper midwest! Enjoyed watching your Boundary Waters and now Ragbrei adventures. Come back and enjoy a good blizzard this winter!!! (jk) Happy Adventures ahead to you both!

you guys are insane! great job completing this trip. i ride bikes around my area, but never anything like this!

"Is your butt as sore as mine?" "I don't know, let me feel it." 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂 This was a wonderful wonderful, joyous video to watch. Had no idea this even existed. Thank you Kara and Nate. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

that's funny

Kara's reaction to coffee on Day 2 is the funniest and most relatable thing I've ever seen. 🤣🤣🤣

So glad Rick and Bec joined you guys! The six of you (plus the munchkins) are the ultimate travel team. Y'all have such a great vibe together. Here's to poor decisions!

*Kara and Nate are a huge inspiration to many including us

It was so nice to see the girls and how they've grown. Awesome video.

Kara and Nate...this is one of the best videos you have ever done, at least for me being a past bike rider myself. Thanks for the fun and entertainment!

I literally love EVERY single thing about this. I never want it to be over. I'm rewatching this one after finishing the second...

You guys are not only super entertaining to watch but you also just provide motivation to do things and enjoy live through crazy experiences! Thank you so MUCH!

You two are incredible! I love watching all your videos - your optimism and joy at the little things inspires me!

That is quite an adventure guys, looks like a ton of fun, even if you will end really tired…

Kara shaving her legs using the fire hydrant with no shame and then watching the man casually fill up his water bottle after 🤣 Living for these long videos in the morning 💛

Id rather see Kara shave her legs at a fire hydrant, then Rudy Giuliani shaving his face in a restaurant in an airport! Lol!

Kara and Nate , orgullosos estamos ,por tan hermosa aventuras,mucha suerte en sus próximos viajes ,desde Argentina, Guillermo e Itatí 💪🫂👏👏👏

Kara & Nate living their best life. Love it 🙌💗

I just want to say that I seriously love your guyses videos. They get better and better every time and I love that they're also getting longer! I look forward to these every week and it also makes me want to live my life like you guys - full of adventure, fun, new experiences, all while getting in a ton of exercise and food hehe

You guys always put a smile on my face. To see you both together and do all the crazy adventures and travels, it just fills my hearts. I wish you all the success and lifelong adventures together.

I could never ride that long !! you guys are such a cute couple its fun to watch you all have fun

That was a quintessential K&N vlog. Just enough focus on the environment to spark a travel interest to some of these obscure locations, but largely centered on their amazing personalities and world view. THIS is a great example of why they are so addicting. Thank you so much for the inspiration!

totally agree. This is definitely one of my favourite vlogs. Love the way they edit their vlogs.

Love all of these challenges! It’s inspiring me to try something like this! Keep going!

This looks like the perfect thing for best friends to do in the summer , camp and spend time with loved ones I wish that this will start in Sweden as well soon

Hahaha....what a fun video!!! You guys are awesome 😎 People are trying to fill their water bottles....and there's Kara shaving her legs....hysterical!!! Looking forward to seeing the remaining ride 😊

I love these kind of videos with your friends!!! Can’t wait for the next one! Kara get those fingers flying on the keyboard editing the next video!

Lol karas face when she first got on the bike on day two is farrrr too relatable. Ragbrai is the only thing I truly miss about my home state. I hope you had fun!

My brother does RAGBRAI every year and trains for months for it - and then is so methodical with his ride strategy that I wonder if he has any fun........so I love that you guys just plopped your butts on a bike and went for it and enjoyed all the hometown love that us Iowans have to offer. The fire hydrant shave will become one of those golden moments in your vlog history.

lol !

Best K & N video yet. Can't believe you guys did that without a little bit of advanced training. Great job guys and make RAGBRAI an annual event ... the route changes every year as do the cast of characters.

I was enjoying this video so much, I didn't want it to end! Then I realized there is a PT2!! What a blast!

One of your best videos to date. You guys are a fantastic couple, with amazing friends, great cinematography, and are funny and take the world by the horns!!!

This looks so much fun guys 😅 I would love to take this challenge on!

This looks really fun. I've only biked 3 miles but I think I'd be up for the challenge.

I feel like you guys are really taking your adventures to the next level, from leisure travel to more challenging activities that really make you guys grow as individuals and a couple. It do be inspiring 🥰

Thoroughly enjoyed your video guys! Great to see rural USA and country hospitality which we have here in Australia too.

I love Kara!! I had to give up coffee but her face when she didn’t have… priceless.. it I know that feeling!!! I know the struggle!! When I had to give up coffee everyone knew not to talk to until at least 10! I’d just grunt at them! The COO at my Fortune 500 company came to ask me something and I just looked at him and he was like ok… I’ll come back later 😂😂😂

You guys are awesome, love that it is all clean humor and reality and you make me laugh a ton. God bless you guys greatly

This one of the best channels. Everyone needs to be following this pair. Always a great time

I love all off your long and vlog videos!!! Please make more off them!!! Take care

i love how everyone is decked out in cycling gear while nick the everest climber is in a button up polo with khakis like hes on his way to buy milk from the grocery store

Dusty was wearing long-sleeves and pants on the first day 😆

To him, it's just another day LOL business as usual

Great video, what an epic adventure!! My favorite part was you helping your friends out ❤️😊

I met up with my partner on his 12th RAGBRAI to ride the last two legs of it this year for my first time. So much props to you both! My butt hurt so bad and wound up with a pinched nerve and couldnt shift on the left side😂😂😂 I cant wait to do the whole thing!

Holy hell, COUPLE GOALS!!! 😍 My dad linked me to this vid when I told him the hubby Sean and I (who it seems are pretty much the budget version of you two 🤣) were going to Iowa for the first time. I'm not sure my butt could take the beating your guys' did or that Sean and I would make it one day without murdering each other 😂, but you two made this look so epic, I feel like we've gotta give it a go! Haha

So cool to see you guys (strangers of RAGBRAI) do the ride. I'm from Iowa and have done it 15 times. So many great memories and so cool to see how the ride never really changes after 49 years. Great job capturing it of course. #Iowanice is certainly real.

Aww this makes me want to watch the whole Colorado trail series again! I love these longer trip formats

Nate: how did you sleep? Kara: *sits in grumpy morning silence* I relate to you on a spiritual level Kara 😂

@AZKYA💋 huh..?

@Autumn Yates Nothing. They're just spammers. Report them.

glad they found coffee

@Pomsky Life Nova I'm like Kara, minus the coffee. I have ADHD so drinking coffee literally doesn't do shit for me. However, I am not a morning person and am very slow to wake up. My mother on the other hand.. completely different story. I avoid her like the plague until she has had her coffee because she is a MAJOR grump.

@Autumn Yates lol. fresh air and drink lots of clean water will help!

I love all of your videos but this one has to be one of my favorites! I can feel the energy and good vibes!

Kara's face when it was 5am and people were laughing having fun 😂😂😂 me

The noise Kara makes when she gets the coffee is such a mood - can. relate!

You guys are totally my spirit animal!!! I love watching your videos. I have 5 kids and am knee deep in my motherhood season of life, but in my heart I’m traveling along on your adventures! Kara I’m with you girl #coffeeislife

I love that you got to experience RAGBRAI! I am originally from Iowa but now live on the East coast and can’t get back every year for it. I’ve done 6. It’s such a fun time. My husband now loves it too. I don’t think we could manage a tandem. But it might have been nice on the first RAGBRAI we did because he ditched me everyday. He saw it as a race. I was so mad. Later he figure out that the whole day is an adventure. It’s not just the night stop. PS I have a coffee “water bottle “ that I put Starbucks instant coffee in every am. That later becomes the Gatorade bottle. My other bottle is only water. I’m so happy you got to immerse yourselves in Iowa thru this wonderful event.

Everyone go vote for Kara and Nate for the American Influencer Awards in the Lifestyle couple categorie !!!!! Love your videos they are so entertaining ,also i wish there would be more positive influence like you on yt ❤

Thanks 🙏🏻

Just voted. Thanks for the heads up on the awards.....GO KARA & NATE!!!

I just did!!! You so deserve it🥰

Thanks for letting us know. I didnt know there was such an award but definitely went looking for it to vote for them. My favorite YouTube channel ever.

I also just voted for them, good luck, I hope you two win.

Awesomeness! I have wanted to do this ride in the worst way. Perhaps next year 🚴🏼 💨 You two are the best ☮️&❤️

loved this so much thank you kara & nate!

19:08 Nate,, “Having fun. Enjoying life.” Kara ,”ugh!” 😆

an Evie/Kara combo video? Of course I'm in! (Not to discount Frankie's awesomeness in any way bc she is beyond adorable. From a parenting perspective--their parents are doing it RIGHT!)

This is great, you guys are so entertaining, love it 😍

I don't know how any of the 8 of you keep your energy up the way you do - it's seriously impressive!! Also, I need Kara/Bec/Sarah to be my real-life best friends. They are #GirlGang goals. (Well done to "The Dads" for finding great partners!)

Ah, memories of Colorado- " the dads"

Gosh I want to do this. My longest bike ride is 32 miles, so hats off to you all. It looks like such fun.

I don’t know why but this video restored some of my faith in humanity. Just seeing all of those people feeling genuinely happy warms my heart💗

Best way to end my day with Kara and Nate!! Kara and the fire hydrant shower, you go girl!! You guys make me laugh and I love your videos, keep them coming I am almost caught up and will have to start over again from #1!!

5:49 Kara's faces says it all 😂

You guys are a Blessing and make my days lighter! 🥰

I must admit for someone that only started watching about a year ago, I’ve really enjoyed this long series. It’s less about travel and more about the adventure, experiences and memories. Keep up the great work and can’t wait for you guys to visit Wisconsin. If you’re ever going to be in the Waukesha/Milwaukee area, let us know and we would love to have you see our aquaponics farm and give you guys some healthy greens for the road!

hey i'm from that area!

U guys help put a smile on my face everytime I watch ur videos. It helps me forget about my life and how things could be better rn. Keep up the good content!

I LOVE KARA'S ENERGY!!!

Kara and the fire hydrant gave me the best laugh all week.

I never expected you guys to attempt the ragbrai, I live in Davenport maybe 40 minutes away from Clinton and I watch your videos all the time. This is probably my fav video from you guys, my grandpa passed away from a bike accident while riding in the ragbrai back in 2004❤️

This is definitely the ultimate marriage test. Wifey and I recently tested our limits when we vacationed in Hawaii and decided to rent a kayak to go on a "friendly little paddle." I don't remember how many different directions we had our kayak going, but I remember giving in, telling my wife to just sit there and look pretty while I paddle the entire time. ...hold on. I just realized she was probably hustling me? Was I just scammed by my own wife? Clever girl...

The fact that Nate walked away from Kara shaving in the fire hydrant water and Kara has 0 shame! Proud of you girl!!

😂🙋🏻‍♀️

On RAGBRI almost anything goes!

And zero shame after being busted by a fan! Love it.

Kara is just hilarious! It's truly awesome that people can set aside what's going on in the world and just have a great time! I believe the big tractor is for spraying fertilizer.

You and your relos and mates are all amazing; living life to the brim and never afraid to take on a challenge.
