Well, 2 years after watching this video we finally made it here. Ate the Shrimp and Crawfish Étouffée today and riding trail ridge road tomorrow! Keep up the good work!
Staci. Thanks for these great videos. Being from New England I especially like the history and narration of the areas you ride. I am planning to get out there during the summer of 2022, these videos will help me plan the perfect ride. Keep the videos coming, ride safe, and I hope to see you in the road. (I’ll be on the Blue Harley Davidson 😎) P.S. Your Ride to Food coffee mug is my favorite!
I get what you are talking about when you mention the snow! My Wife and I went "west" with two other couples in '18. We had been several times previous and kind of knew what to expect. We told them about clothes and so on. This was first week of June. Rode across the top of OK and it was 101 degrees! The other two couples thought we were crazy packing all the heated and cold weather gear. Until two days later and going across Wolf Creek Pass Colorado! Went to RMNP and Bear Tooth later in the trip and snow was piled high! Just beautiful! I never get tired of it! Thanks for the ride!
Yep!!! Thats exactly it! You get it. :) I get asked often if April or May are good times to visit CO since it's warm everywhere else, and people are always shocked to see that its not Summer here yet, lol! Thanks for watching!
The scenic views in this video are KILLER. Love the look of that section that drops off on both sides. Reminds me of a section in Utah on Hwy 12 heading into Escalante, so freaky but so cool!
DANG! That breakfast burrito looked impressive. Also, awesome video/ride! I’ve gotta get out west and ride. The Northeast has some incredible riding (the Adirondacks, Maine, and Vermont just to name a few places). But, the West is on whole different level.
I havent been to the north east yet, but its up on the list of places I NEED to check out! I've heard great things about NH's white mountains, the adirondacks...and of course all the lobsta and food out there! lol
Hi Stacy. That town where you stopped and got coffee. I lived there for 37 years. Rocky Mountain National Park was my back yard. Great video and beautiful pictures!!
The snow doesnt last for too long...it seems like this year all of that snow dissapeared in 2 weeks or less! We did have a crazy heatwave this summer, though.
Wow that's some serious snow!! I'm going to have to put this route on my list of places to ride!! I like that roads are wide open, definitely have to keep focused on the ride!! I really love that you include drone footage, helps get a great overview of the where you're riding.
After watching your channel and others I now have a goal to go out west and ride. I have been to South Dakota and Devils Tower on my bike but never into Colorado. I also now need to go get some crawfish étouffée. That looked really good on a cold day.
Ohhhh the black hills are so amazing!! I love it out there. Colorado is a great state to ride. I wish it was as good as Crawfish etouffee from LA but it'll do! hahaha
UA-cam popped up your channel for me to check out, probably because I've been following Itchy Boots for awhile. I've watched a half-dozen of your videos and I'm loving your channel. Thank you so much for producing such great content.
Wow!! What a beautiful ride! On my list for this up coming year. Must be freezing cold now. Thank you for sharing, you won a new subscriber (from the far south Argentina♥️)
Thanks for this video and your wonderful website. I’m headed out a motorcycle trip from Milwaukee to Colorado next week and you been tremendously helpful in assisting me in planning out all my rides.
Great video! I always liked to ride at when it opens for the season as well (I live in Colorado). I take turned on which way to go in. If I take Peak to Peak Highway I take the back road Mary’s Lake Road, on bike to avoid Estes Park traffic. Then I like to stop at The Country Market of Estes Park and they have a deli that makes good sandwiches and I have one of those before heading into the Beaver Meadows entrance. If I’m feeling like heading into Estes I park behind the Library and go to Claire’s Restaurant and Bar. I’ve always had great food there! It’s been a few years so I cannot speak to it since 2020 craziness. Excellent French Onion Soup when it’s chilly.
Noted!! ill have to check Claires out sometime. The traffic entering from estes is always soooo bad compared to the grand lake side, so I always ride over there and go in from the West entrance. The ride to get there is always enjoyable which is a plus ;) lol!
The drone footage in this one was spectacular! Those views are amazing. The road at the top with no guardrails reminded me of Mount Washington in NH. So enjoying your videos!
My girlfriend and I took that route in 2019 on our way to Moab and camped out just north of Grand Lake. Such a beautiful ride. Unfortunately, we were in a jeep instead of on my motorcycle but I promised myself I'd go back on two wheels. For now, I'll live vicariously through you. Great video as always 👍
Nice! It's definitely worth doing on a bike. And lucky y'all for finding camping!! It's become such a headache to find a campsite here, even on a weekday. You really have to plan ahead these days it seems lol
@@ridetofood It was more of an atv trail than a campsite lol. We camped in the back of the jeep. Not sure if it would be frowned on or not but we got away with it. We had an amazing view to wake up to though
Love it! We rode it 4 times but only once with snow. We were there at the end of the fires of 2020. We saw the smoke hamper our trip into the park. We stayed in Granby and rode it into Estes Park... Each time, we absolute loved it. Never been to Oskar Blues, food looks delicious.
This is exactly what im gonna be doing vlogging wise as i just got out of a coma from a motorcycle accident not my fault 18 broken bones and 4 brain hemorrhages but im back it waiting for things to get returned to me im a native here in colorado, uve inspired me to vlog, ride safe out there! Watch for soccer moms in there mini vans always distracted drivers now days , u rode right passed my house too lol i live by oscars bomb place!
I absolutely love that road and the park. I’ve been up there before and was literally above the clouds. There used to be an amazing pizza spot in Estes Park. They changed owners years ago and unfortunately, I can’t say that the food is the same. I wish I had a good suggestion to share. Another beautiful video. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!! I wonder if the pizza spot was a Beau Jo's...everyone raves about them but admittingly, I never eat pizza lol so I never think to stop for it!
@@ridetofood looking to get comfortable with an iron 1200 or 48. I really want to end up with a lowrider s, but we'll see! My buddy is going to get a Suzuki sv650 so we can ride together and start planning some trips.
@@dancarroll4904 Both of those are awesome sportsters. I started on a 48. Loved it, but ended up putting the 3gallon Nightster tank on it because I wanted better fuel range. The new FXLRS is such a sweet bike. The new softail platforms are phenomenal and balance incredibly well, but they are pretty peppy. You'll love ridng and doing trips!! I know it! :)
I love Lyons. Grew up in Berthoud. When I was growing up, Nicky’s Steakhouse was a great place to eat in Estes Park. It’s still there, but I haven’t been there in more than a decade. It might be worth a try.
I appreciate the videos and inspiration. I hope to travel like this on my BMW K bike. Some day on a Panamerica. Which is the only Harley I'll ever pay for. Lol But seeing you ride Harley is much better than me riding one. Thanks, ride safe. More content
You should ride to Leadville, CO and check out Turquoise Lake. I know you said you don’t like pizza but there’s a spot called High Mountain Pies that’s 🔥. Also Buena Vista and the Princeton Hot Springs would make for a dope video as well. There’s some good eats in BV as well!
I may or may not have filmed in Leadville at Quincy's and High Mountain Pies in some videos that will be released in the coming months! I've been to Mt Princeton once, Buena Vista a bunch! You'll see a few BV spots as well, soon! :)
Bloody amazing mate what a great ride it didnt look that cold.. but you seam to love rideing in cold anyways loll great Vid & well worth the wait cheers from Down Under & Keep ya Knee's in Da Breeezzzzzeeeeee...
Oh I know I am late to the party here but, You Need Pie and Estes is amazing! So many different pies from scratch and their menu is excellent! My favorite dish is beef stroganoff and their beef stroganoff is the best I’ve had in my life. Check it out next time you go and if you think of it, let me know what you think.
Love the content. Ride to Food is a brilliant concept. So glad you and Amanda hooked up. I might never have found your channel otherwise. If you ever come to San Diego let me know. I'll point you at some good local food.
Well I’m glad you’re here! I love visiting San Diego! I usually go to south beach down in OB, or juanitas in Encinitas for fish tacos 🌮 that’s always my go-to food when I’m there!
@@ridetofood Ok... OB has a ton of good food. Next time try OB Noodle House. The guy that owns it also owns Screwball liquor. For breakfast, I recommend Le Parfait Paris. They have a few locations, but I've only been to the one in Downtown SD. They have an eggs/bacon/potatoes/toast dish that is absolutely the best version of that I've ever had. It'll totally look great on video too. Then there's a little Mexican place in Barrio Logan called Las Cuatro Milpas you should try. The food is good... not the best in town, but very good. It's not like a restaurant or taco shop, but more like a cafeteria. It's a really interesting experience.
I live in Loveland and the Estest Park dining changes a lot with the notable exceptions of places like the Buckhorn & Stanely (make your reservation early for either of those and bring money). But Ed's Cantina & Grill and Mama Rose's are both just west of the 34/36 interchange on Elkhorn (South side overlooking the river) and are both decent.
Love that Ride my son rides his chopper up there he said he ran into you somewhere out there he did live in Empire now he's in Denver I'll be out to see him before Christmas if I see you somewhere I'll buy the food and you riding up Mt Evans with one hand on the handlebars looking around makes this NJ biker nervous 😓 Good Day Ride on.
These roads would be Nice driving on a BMW 1250 GS(A). Maybe some grevel there too. The capability, driving pleasure, power is about a starship better:-) Nice pictures.
awesome video's. glad I found your channel. I am wanting to do something similar on NZ roads. what GoPro mount are you using on your bars? it seems you can turn it around and remove it with ease while riding, or is that some sneaky editing? :) again, great vid's thanks for sharing.
@@ridetofood awesome!! found it, read it and, well, there is a sure big list of things. explains why your quality is so good (along with the list of credentials you have) I'll see what I can squeeze outta my gp4 for now.haha appreciate the reply.
@@ridetofood sorry to be annoying, in your list you have listed a handlebar mount. I brought a cheapo and it was a bit shaky. so, I threw some coin at it and got a genuine GoPro handlebar mount. I'm running a Dyna FLD and the genuine GP mount is worse than before. any tips on keeping a nice stable shot?
@@benaberhart1925 hmmmmm... mine vibrates but nothing to the point where im concerned, and my footage is always crispy clear. Are you running OEM bushings or polyurathane solid bushings? I run the latter. I believe these ones are what I actually use, but its been six years since I installed them: imp.i104546.net/MXRg6Y
My favorite is skyline drive outside of canyon city. Took my truck once and I about shit myself it’s literally 800feet above everything around it and straight down on either side. It’s like driving through the sky no joke.
I can’t wait to ride some of those roads, just beautiful. Is there a way to find out if the pavement is clear and dry before you go or is that sort of a gamble? Loving having some ride to food videos!
Great video as always, Staci! I rode Trail Ridge in '97 on my first solo cross-country trip. Been out to CO as recently as '18 but missed Trail Ridge (opted for Pike's instead). Have you done a video on the Million Dollar Highway (US 550)?
I tried to film MDH 3 different times this summer and the weather didn’t cooperate. Next summer, though! I’ve ridden it a dozen times in the past couple of years though
Staci, First thing first. Another good video. I've never been to Colorado. You said "we" a lot but I don't remember you identifying who "we" is. Maybe I missed it. Is that your boyfriend? And is he camera shy? Now my other questions: (Sorry, I'm a journalist.) What's the range of your bike and how much has your fuel costs gone up since 2019? Also how many days can you go without riding before you go just bat crazy?
Thanks! I say we in most of my videos because you are there with me via the video. You're the second person to ask me this actually! I don't force people to be in videos that wish to just be along for the ride while I'm working. So the person in this video did just that - they rode their own ride and stayed off camera. Gas is through the roof and my cost of travel has more than doubled in the past two years. I can't afford to ride daily anymore, only when I leave to make videos and work.
@@ridetofood Now that's a shame you can't ride every day now. I'm sure it's worst for the independent truckers. I like your explanation of "we". Thanks for inviting us to go along. I was watching American Outdoors, a PBS program Saturday night and the destination was Death Valley if you haven't been there you show go. And yes, I think your videos could easily convert into a show on PBS. Maybe you aren't ready right now but it should happen within the next 2 years. Here is the UA-cam link to the show: ua-cam.com/video/sHwNH1U0mHM/v-deo.html
Your not even wearing winter gear. I know your crazy ass is freezing your legs off on the bike. AND I saw you on a certain channel (🥧🪰) on a certain bike (🍳🇺🇸) 14 more videos to go right?!?!?! Yeah I'm on the count down😁😁 Great video.....as always....
Lol!! I love the emojis. Nope. Wasn’t cold at all actually. I wear base layers under my Jeans and had that down jacket on beneath my leathers. I was too warm actually 🤣👏 Editing my brains out, but getting through the videos as fast as I can! Hoping to have everything up before the end of January
I love that road, missing God's real mountains. Living in Oregon between Mt hood and Mt Adams, but it's funny when people say mountains here, do they even know?
Great channel.. love your videos. Just starting out here creating some content for the riding club. Check me out when you get some time. I could use some feedback.. Thanks!!
Well, 2 years after watching this video we finally made it here. Ate the Shrimp and Crawfish Étouffée today and riding trail ridge road tomorrow! Keep up the good work!

Me too Love the History
Same,same. From Boston and love seeing the N.western old towns and hotels. Even the weather looks intriguing. It's cold here. Lol

another beautiful movie Colorado is place I want to see now for myself. great movie great host really enjoyed watching the movie
It’s a beautiful state! You’ll definitely enjoy it when you get to visit 😊 thanks for watching!
I just rode this beautiful highway today on my Street Glide what a breathtaking ride. Thanks!
Awesome!
DANG! That breakfast burrito looked impressive. Also, awesome video/ride! I’ve gotta get out west and ride. The Northeast has some incredible riding (the Adirondacks, Maine, and Vermont just to name a few places). But, the West is on whole different level.

I miss that road. Haven’t had a chance to ride it . Maybe the next time I’m there I’ll get there on my bike. I use to live there. I miss it
I think it would freak me out in a car...but on a bike it is amazing! haha. CO is a beautiful state, it would be hard to move away for sure.
Hi Stacy. That town where you stopped and got coffee. I lived there for 37 years. Rocky Mountain National Park was my back yard. Great video and beautiful pictures!!
Awesome! Do you have any food spots you’d recommend in granby or grand lake? 😊
Amazing. I just put that on my bucket list.
Awesome! :)
That is an amazing view (at 6:35 ). I've ridden through Colorado a few times but not at a time when there was that much snow. Epic...
The snow doesnt last for too long...it seems like this year all of that snow dissapeared in 2 weeks or less! We did have a crazy heatwave this summer, though.
Oh my gosh Staci, thanks for the ride, so sweet
Thanks, Ted! :)

Thank ya!!! Lots more to come 🤘
Amazing! Fantastic experience!
Great video, another very impressive road. Thanks.
You'll love the next video! :) Thanks for watching!
@@ridetofood Can't wait. Thanks Ride Safe
Berthoud is crazy when it's snow covered, even in a cage.
indeed!
We would do Trail Ridge Rd every year as at the start of the riding season. It was weird riding through snow banks you couldn't see over.
Nice! I loveee it!
Awesome. I'll have to try it the next time I'm in Colorado.
Another great job Staci. Thanks for the ride along.
Thanks, Wayne!!
thanks for the video. I love roads like this. I haven't rode this one yet, but it's on my list.
You’ll love it!!

Killer Episode 🤘⚡️🤘
Thanks dude!!
2:45 There can be only one Amanda Zito! lol I can't wait to watch vids on your new Pan America!
I’ve never seen her attempt to moonwalk 🤣👏
Those videos should be out just after the new year 😎
Wapiti in Estes Park is one of my favorite stops for a bite to eat and a beer.
Great video thanks for the ride along
Thanks for watching!
I see Ride to Food, I click like. Simple as that.
Thank you! :)
That crawfish dish looked amazing!
Great road!
It was pretty good for a cajun dish in the rockies! hahaha!
The drone footage in this one was spectacular! Those views are amazing. The road at the top with no guardrails reminded me of Mount Washington in NH. So enjoying your videos!
I can see the similarities with Mount Washington! Although I’ll say the Mt Wash auto road is much steeper and much rougher lol
@@ridetofood definitely rough and steep and not very wide!

That looks sooooooo tasty!!!! 🤤 And the riding views were spectacular!!!! 💓📷🏍💕
Thank ya!!
I hope you do a video of your ride THIS YEAR! I don’t think you’ll have a problem seeing massive amounts of snow on trail ridge in May.
Wont be doing it THIS YEAR unfortunately!
Love these views! Very different than flat ole Florida. Thanks for detailing it so well, great video!
Haha yeah definitely a little different lol!! Thanks for watching!! I could go for some Florida beach cruisin right about now. It’s cold here. 🤣

Its a bucket list ride for sure! Thanks dude!
These roads would be Nice driving on a BMW 1250 GS(A). Maybe some grevel there too. The capability, driving pleasure, power is about a starship better:-) Nice pictures.
Those are great bikes!
awesome video's. glad I found your channel. I am wanting to do something similar on NZ roads. what GoPro mount are you using on your bars? it seems you can turn it around and remove it with ease while riding, or is that some sneaky editing? :) again, great vid's thanks for sharing.
It’s a GoPro Max! There’s a full list of my camera gear on my blog as well :)
@@ridetofood awesome!! found it, read it and, well, there is a sure big list of things. explains why your quality is so good (along with the list of credentials you have)
I'll see what I can squeeze outta my gp4 for now.haha
appreciate the reply.
@@benaberhart1925 Of course! And, thank you for the kind words!
@@ridetofood sorry to be annoying, in your list you have listed a handlebar mount. I brought a cheapo and it was a bit shaky. so, I threw some coin at it and got a genuine GoPro handlebar mount.
I'm running a Dyna FLD and the genuine GP mount is worse than before. any tips on keeping a nice stable shot?
@@benaberhart1925 hmmmmm... mine vibrates but nothing to the point where im concerned, and my footage is always crispy clear. Are you running OEM bushings or polyurathane solid bushings? I run the latter. I believe these ones are what I actually use, but its been six years since I installed them: imp.i104546.net/MXRg6Y
Beautiful mountains. Was it cold? You have have pretty eyes!
Thanks! Not as cold as you would think since you're at 12,000 feet in elevation!

Thanks!
My favorite is skyline drive outside of canyon city. Took my truck once and I about shit myself it’s literally 800feet above everything around it and straight down on either side. It’s like driving through the sky no joke.
i've done it a few times on a motorcycle. that's a fun one!
@@ridetofood I hear it’s good at night as well.
I can’t wait to ride some of those roads, just beautiful.
Is there a way to find out if the pavement is clear and dry before you go or is that sort of a gamble?
Loving having some ride to food videos!
Check the motorcycling guide in the caption! I think i linked all that info in there 🙌
Wow, Oskar Blues prices are crazy HIGH for what I am use to. Guess I am just use to Florida prices for food.
They're a little pricey for CO as well, but the portions are pretty big, luckily.
looks like whoever was following you went wide in the turn in the opening curve shot. 🤫
They were doin fiiiine! :)
I have ridden Beartôoth on June 1st...25 foot snowbanķs...
I hope to ride that one on opening day one year! I bet it is just mindblowingly beautiful!
Yes it was...
Great video as always, Staci! I rode Trail Ridge in '97 on my first solo cross-country trip. Been out to CO as recently as '18 but missed Trail Ridge (opted for Pike's instead). Have you done a video on the Million Dollar Highway (US 550)?
I tried to film MDH 3 different times this summer and the weather didn’t cooperate. Next summer, though! I’ve ridden it a dozen times in the past couple of years though
What is the ride like to Aspen from Salt Lake City going to be part of my ride in July towards the end.
In July it’ll be hotter than heck in Utah but beautiful! Just depends what route you choose to take as far as the scenery is concerned! :)
@@ridetofood thank you much appreciated.
Lots coming off my bucket list
Staci, First thing first. Another good video. I've never been to Colorado. You said "we" a lot but I don't remember you identifying who "we" is. Maybe I missed it. Is that your boyfriend? And is he camera shy? Now my other questions: (Sorry, I'm a journalist.) What's the range of your bike and how much has your fuel costs gone up since 2019? Also how many days can you go without riding before you go just bat crazy?
Thanks! I say we in most of my videos because you are there with me via the video. You're the second person to ask me this actually! I don't force people to be in videos that wish to just be along for the ride while I'm working. So the person in this video did just that - they rode their own ride and stayed off camera. Gas is through the roof and my cost of travel has more than doubled in the past two years. I can't afford to ride daily anymore, only when I leave to make videos and work.
@@ridetofood Now that's a shame you can't ride every day now. I'm sure it's worst for the independent truckers. I like your explanation of "we". Thanks for inviting us to go along. I was watching American Outdoors, a PBS program Saturday night and the destination was Death Valley if you haven't been there you show go. And yes, I think your videos could easily convert into a show on PBS. Maybe you aren't ready right now but it should happen within the next 2 years. Here is the UA-cam link to the show:

Your not even wearing winter gear. I know your crazy ass is freezing your legs off on the bike.
AND I saw you on a certain channel (🥧🪰) on a certain bike (🍳🇺🇸)
14 more videos to go right?!?!?!
Yeah I'm on the count down😁😁
Great video.....as always....
Lol!! I love the emojis. Nope. Wasn’t cold at all actually. I wear base layers under my Jeans and had that down jacket on beneath my leathers. I was too warm actually 🤣👏
Editing my brains out, but getting through the videos as fast as I can! Hoping to have everything up before the end of January
Can this be riden in November?
I love that road, missing God's real mountains. Living in Oregon between Mt hood and Mt Adams, but it's funny when people say mountains here, do they even know?
hope nobody picked on your bbq nose...lol
I think those are both mountains, just a little different! Thanks for watching! :)
How long is the ride? End to end?
48 miles according to the National Park Service :)
Can we ride next summer? I’m in Montana
I honestly don't meet up with total strangers from the internet. I'm sure that's understandable lol
Can this be rode in November?
Highly doubtful! It’s usually snow packed by then
Highway 36 to Lyons
Canada Rob - Great ride...hey, can you do a blip on your boyfriend and what he is riding?
He's on a 2003 Dyna LowRider! :)
@@ridetofood Ahhhh...a real bike ;) I run an 07 Dyna Superglide...all very cool...bookmarked your vid as a place to go...thanks!
@@robertmacdonald2735 awesome! thank you! And, great bike choice. Dynas are fun bikes!
Are you from this area in Colorado?
I have visited Colorado often over the years!
Great channel.. love your videos. Just starting out here creating some content for the riding club. Check me out when you get some time. I could use some feedback.. Thanks!!
Thanks for watching!!
