For as long as I've been into cycling (post-BMX) I've known about Moots. After moving to Colorado in 2015 I began seeing them pretty frequently and toured their factory in Steamboat Springs in 2018. Ever since that tour I've dreamed of owning a Moots, unfortunately the price tag of a new one a bit more than my budget currently allows. So I did the next best thing... collected parts and slowly b...

Fatbike Recipe for Fun: 30mi, 5PSI and chill for 3hrs at -5°F. Join me for a 3 hour cold plunge. We typically only get a few sub-zero days a year here in Boulder, Colorado so I grabbed the fatbike for some freezing fun. When I first set out I was hoping to be able to ride for an hour but I let curiosity get the best of me and stayed out a bit longer. 0:00 Intro 1:20 North Sky Trail 2:30 Eagle T...

    Nice set up, but I would wear your Garmin outreach. If you had an emergency and you were separated from your bike you would have your inreach on you to call for help. Have a great race.

    Good luck! 🎉 Id love to hear a post race review of these decisions. Im vacillating between bike tent or bivvy. Being a self supported ride over 2500 miles having a shelter for possible horrible weather seems wise. I pray the weather gods are kind to you all!

  • @ross6853
    @ross6853 3 місяці тому

    Dig the shelter (tarp + bivy). How low a temp do you think you can go with your 40* bag, bivy, and your down pj outfit? I'm thinking you've had a cold night or two if it's been in the 30s or 20s. Also, what pole are you using? Collapsible, I presume. I'm looking for one that folds down to small sections to better fit in my bags. Or many just using my bike to prop up the entry to the tarp and ditching the pole altogether if I don't find an appropriate one (but many companies make foldable poles, so I'm thinking I could likely find a good one.

    Good luck Justin, you had a pretty sweat ride last year. It would be interesting to hear the changes you have made and why. As an observation, you seem to have heavy things on the very front of your bike and your tube in a soft bag on the most exposed part of your bike.

    • @jjjjustin
      @jjjjustin 3 місяці тому

      Thanks, I go over specific details in the upcoming Bikepacking.com article. Looks might be decieving... my front pouch is only a kilogram, the roll only another 2kg... all in less than 3, seems fine to me. And what specifically are you worried about the tube for? I've ran my tube and repair kit in those same cordura bags, in that same location for years... including last year's ride.

    I'm taking my trusty 2012 Mooto-X on the Great Divide at the end of July. It's the same design as yours with that extra gusset in front of the seat tube. I've also switched to a rigid fork, for ease of maintenance. I think the YBB's were made for the GDMBR.

    Even if you are trying to race it, i would still take some sort of cook kit(for safety’s sake/morale booster). You never know when things will go sideways, a hot cup of tea will go a long way to keeping your core warm and a smile on your face. Like the wind!

    • @jjjjustin
      @jjjjustin 4 місяці тому

      Thanks for the comment! Curious what safety benefit you're suggesting a cook kit will provide? I'd rather carry a pound of food rather than a pound of cook kit. I didn't carry one last year and didn't miss it.
