World's Best Mountain Bike Trip | The Breaking Point (Ep. 2)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 сер 2024
- How far can we push ourselves before we reach the breaking point? The San Juan Hut System connects Telluride Colorado to Moab Utah over 215 miles of backcountry trails and dirt roads to form one of the world's best mountain bike trips.
In Episode 2, Alex's father has to come to terms with the reality of the trip, that long days of cycling at over 10,000ft in the intense sun can present serious obstacles and can push us to physical limit and our own breaking point. What happens next?
Thank you to the San Juan Huts for helping make this trip happen. For more information check them out here : www.sanjuanhut...

Papa Vagabond is a freaking rockstar for cycling as much as he did even though he couldn't complete the trail. I hope he's doing well!
No Name haha he’s doing fine now. Thank you! Love the nick name haha
So happy your dad was smart enough to stop and celebrate on another day! His goal was to create memories with you!
Hahah that’s one way to put it. I’m glad it worked out the way it did though
Out there at 67. What a champ. Your dad did amazing! That elevation and physical demand is no joke. I hope I'm out there doing that stuff when I'm 67! My hero!
Agreed!
Finally got to watch this. Heartbreaking to see your dad unable to finish, but there's always another day and always another adventure. Total stud. Also, that drone footage of that turn was money
He did great! Also yes it is such a scenic spot! Tune in for the series finale this weekend!
Sensible dad! He gave you the chance to complete the rest of the journey without him. What a gift.❤️
I’m glad it worked out the way it did and he got out safely before the trip really got tough.
My dear friend and her husband are on this trip right now and I am loving following along by watching your journey each day. Thank you!
Awesome to hear Ann! I hope they are having a great time. It’s so much fun!
So much respect for your dad! Loving this series
Aww thank you Mohima! Hope you enjoy the series :)
Your dad should be proud!!
For sure!
Your dad is awesome! He did great! 🙂
He did his best and that’s all we can ask for. Thanks for watching :)
Your dad made it farther than I would have, no doubt. What a challenging but amazing adventure!
Cheers Chris! I’m glad it worked out how it did, he gave it his all!
It might sound ridiculous, but it's an example of Covid Kindness, so here goes.. I was out one day to go grocery shopping during the thick of early april confinement. I was getting the blues, and thought I'd go for a little drive around the surrounding countryside before I went grocery shopping, and got stuck out having to pee pretty badly, and I stopped at 7 different places, none of them let me use their bathroom (I live on a 3rd floor walkup, so going back home sounded just as bad atp). I decided to just make the smallest grocery shop stop, I asked them out of desperation, and they too had no available public bathroom. I was halfway down the first aisle, fully resigned, and a young lady popped behind me and said "Come with me, I'll let you use the one out back.". I was SO thankful to her... I didn't think to ask her name, but the next week, I went back to that small grocery store and gifted the whole staff one of those Tim Hortons coffee self-service boxes for 12 coffees, with all the creams and milks and sugar on the side. They didn't have to help me, it was my own stupid fault for drinking coffee on my pleasure ride... but one of them did. And I had to do something to thank them, however small!
In two days I'm leaving for a trip for a family affair (funeral), and it's at least a 11h drive from where I live... and I'm really scared there won't be any bathrooms on the way. I sincerely hope there will be good samaritains on my path too...!
Glad they found it in their hearts to help you out! Nothing worse than that frantic feeling. Whenever I road trip I bring my backpacking trowel and a roll of TP just in case nature calls at an inopportune moment in the middle of nowhere
@@AlexanderAyling I certainly had a thought for people who work on the road... hope they too don't have to resort to the trowel situation... which let's face it, in nature, that works, but on the side of a national road... not the most elegant move. :P
I am impress with those views, also the landscapes are one of the biggest places you have visited all riding a bike
Thank you Gabriel! It really was a scenic ride. Thanks for watching and I hope you stay tuned for the series finale this weekend
WOW! Look at that epic view at 30:00!
Sooooo amazing out there
Really nice and quality contents, you have really come out as a genuine down to earth person. I had a very different impression of you from the travel channel. I lost my dad when he was 67 three years ago so take my word you’re a one lucky person to have your buddy still around and kicking. Hope he gets well soon ... best wishes! 😁
Thank you Robert! I get to be more of myself over here on this channel. Also I hear you about cherishing the time we have with our loved ones. All the best
Glad your dad is ok and got a ride! The trip looks amazing but difficult!
It was both of those things for sure. Dad is ok now but I’m glad we got him outta there
Beautiful video! Thank goodness your dad is ok and that was really the universe working for y’all! The Trees were Amazing, the views Stunning! And the expression when you saw the watermelon was everything lol ! I can’t believe it’s the last video coming up 😢 My daughter and I really enjoyed your videos! Thank you for sharing! 🙂🙏🏼🇹🇹
Thank you Sherryl!! I really appreciate the support you and your family keep showing me. The finale is coming up but I’m working on a few new videos after this series so stay tuned. Much love
Great series, loving it and glad your dad was okay!
Thank you Derek! Working on the final episode for you next week! Stay tuned
What an inspiring video! So glad your dad is okay!
Thank you Karin! He’s fine but I’m glad it worked out the way it did. Thanks for tuning in 🙏🏼
I love this episode! It is very inspiring and your dad is very brave and strong! congratulations!
Thank you Monica!! Stay tuned for the series finale this weekend :)
Wow!! What a pleasure following this ride Alex, amazing and what a production!! Sooo well made, greetings again from Mexico City, all well here in DF, and finally I love the incidental music, those acoustic guitars and banjo fit so beautifully your filming!! Waiting for next chapter now
Gracias Mauricio me alegro mucho que lo has disfrutado. Stay tuned for the finale this Sunday
The day 5 singletrack is the best!
Yeah so much fun!
Fair play to your dad he had the courage to join you on this amazing but difficult trip. The views are absolutely stunning! :)
Totally agree Martina! Thank you for tuning in :)
Really enjoying this series. This trip looks epic, challenging but super rewarding I'm sure! Totally inspiring.

I had to stop watching your video on my cellphone and quickly change to my tv, dudeeeee!! The views are phenomenal just amazingly breathtaking 😍 thanks for taking us on tour of our own backyard much appreciated 👌.....hey sorry about your dad nonetheless I'm sure this a memorable adventure for all of you.
Always watch on the big screen haha, all my videos are 4K so it's going to be much better on a TV. Thanks for tuning in though Roxxie! Hope to safely explore more of the USA this summer and fall.
Wow it's awesome many respect to you and Carlos for doing this. And even more respect and love for your dad, hope he feels good again. Glad that he is so smart to go health first with that. Watching Ep 3 right after and looking forward. 💪
Thank you Birgit!!
Wow !! What a trip 🚲🚲🚲👱♀️! Have a good time guys :) Beautiful scenery all the time.

AlexTheVagabond Ok I’m an idiot apparently, is there a link to send a donation or are you on patreon?
Looks like a great adventure, I've always had an ambition to visit Colorado. Your dad did very well to get as far as he did. The South Island here in NZ has a couple of good cycle trails I'd love to do also.
🙌🏼
That’s amazinggggg
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it!
12:55 Amen!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great scenic vistas, nice transitions, quite a beautiful energizing ride for sure. Happy your father got the help needed. It shows the best in people and American culture, to help those in need. Lets one forget for a moment how society has turned. Loved it all😷✌️💓
Thank you John!! I think we could all be more like those good samaritans and offer help to those in need.
Thanks for watching and leaving a nice comment. Stay tuned for the final episode next week!
Dude, one of the best series ever. This hut system is so sick! I really want to do this one day.
Cheers Jordan!!!
What an incredible journey.
Your dad made a good choice.💙
Those views WOW. The time it takes to set up every shot is appreciated. Excellent storytelling and amazing visuals 🌟🏞️🚵
❤️🇨🇦
Thank you Alisa!! Lots of biking back up hills to grab the cameras and tripods haha. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for the final episode!
So glad your dad is well man! What an experience man, I'm really impressed with those places and with your energy to rite so long with your bike. In the times we are living is really good to see images like that. :)
Obrigado Tiago!! Thanks for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed the video!! Stay tuned for the series finale this week!
You guys are so brave. What a blast to have your dad there at the beginning. I commend him for his efforts. I wouldn't have made it that far. Alex... Thank you for sharing your journey. Dr Kalel Smith
Thanks Doc! I appreciate the support. 🤙🏼
love your video bro
Thank you!!! Stay tuned for the series finale next weekend!
Your dad did great! Dehydration is tough. Maybe try again with an electric bike set up? 😊👍
No electric bikes!!! Haha that defeats the purpose :)
AlexTheVagabond When I’m nearly 70 I’ll definitely go electric ⚡️ why not sure! It’s so much fun 😊😊😂
So professional as usual ! But so inspiring too ! I watched your video on Kilimanjaro that I climbed few months after you and subscribed to your channel ! I don’t regret ! Very nice job👌
Awesome! How epic is Kilimanjaro??? Thanks for tuning in Julien. Stay tuned for Episode 3 :)
Owesome, Alex, as usual.
Hope, your dad is fine. Age isn't joke. You met good people which picked up him. Good message we should help each other. I remembered one good Czech movie about it,, Divided We Fall,, 2000.reccomend.
P.s Is it free cabin, where you slept? Just someone need to leave any goods or things?
Thank you Igor!! I appreciate you tuning in. I haven't seen that movie but I've visited Czech Republic twice and love it. The cabins are private and operated by www.sanjuanhuts.com. Cheers!
Wow, just an amazing video like always! Beautiful places and courageous men! Sending good vibes to your dad and to both of you, so you can continue your journey until the end. Thank you for sharing this experience with the fans, cheers from Brazil.
Muito obrigado Glenda!!! Hope all is well
Glad your dad got better. They prob ran some fluid thru an IV and he felt much better afterwards.
Yeah they gave him a IV for dehydration
oh my goodness the intro was scaring I thought your dad had a heart attack!! Good thing he decided to go back before hut 5, as you said it was a killing one!! Good to know he saw a doctor and he is fine!! Beautiful trip by the way, those vistas yayyy!!
I’m glad it worked out the way it did too! Definitely crossed my mind. Glad you enjoyed the video and stay tuned for the final episode next week!
Watching from AZ! Amazing! Take Carrie to Sedona AZ soon
Sedona is so gorgeous!! I’d love to get back out there sometime. Thanks for tuning in Patricia
Dude you’ve got me so psyched to do this trail. Hopefully travel comes back to normal soon so I can hit it.
Cheers Andrew!! I hope so too!
Excellent video Alex. Just out of curiosity: do the hut provide the food by prepaid arrangements, or do you need to buy all supplies? It seems like a pretty decent and convenient place .
Head over to their website and check them out, they are private and you have pay and reserve them but it’s totally worth it
Awesome Sunday morning wake up video. Can you share the music we heard throughout?
Thanks Simone! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I don’t know all the tracks off the top of my head. They are from UA-cam mostly
Wonderful adventure! Greetings from Galicia, Spain
Saludos Mariana!! Yo vivía un año en Pontevedra, Galicia. Hecho de menos la comida rica, amigos y las playas!
So glad your dad found help. I hope he is well. Curious about how many hours a day you bike from hut to hut?
Hey Marisol! Thank you firstly. He is doing well and I’m glad it worked out the way it did. We usually rode between 6-10 hours a day, depending on how fast we rode and how often we stopped. Took us longer because we were filming too
Woww amazing...keep travelling
Love from INDIA
Thank you!!
I have a relative who has traveled to dozens of different countries, but they say that the most beautiful places he has seen are still at home in the USA... Which was surprising to me. What do you think?
Hey Cormack. I think their is unrivaled beauty in the American West, the landscapes are surreal, especially in the South West and Pacific North West.
Plz come to KERALA in India.. when the situation become normal..
Really hope to come back to India soon

Jealous
Well I'm glad my videos can help you virtually experience the ride. All the best
Don’t mind my bland one-word comments. Just something I throw in there to help out your channel!
