3 Day Fat Tire Bikepacking Along Colorado River

[@rottieshepcalibre9156]

No music ❤ blissfully peaceful ❤ a very well documented journey. Thanks for sharing

[@redwhiteblue7831]

Awesome trip... I agree with you on a 5 * view. Beautiful scenery. Little rain action. Those reeds were a bit low. Looked like a blast. Enjoyed watching. Thank you for sharing, take care Justin.

[@JustinfromAZ]

Thank you Jason!
Yeah the brush area just got a little too tight for our rigs. Since then I've be searching that section on Google Earth and I may have found a side trail. Going to take the boat up and see if there's an option E!
As always thank you for the support!

[@20robertang]

Damn, I love your life. That place is pretty rad. I wish you took some more shots on those relics, cool stuff. Thanks for making the video, I enjoyed it.

[@JustinfromAZ]

I actually made a really detailed go pro video. I'm going to release it soon.
Thanks for checking out the video buddy!

[@hikingmule]

Awesome video and pretty location as you say... 'on the moon'. I've never tried bike packing, but I'm getting tempted!

[@ericredinger2690]

I've had my Blackborow for about six months. Nothing this bike can't do or a place it can't go. I've got a few trips planned in Nevada , OR , and AZ this year. Can't wait!

[@JustinfromAZ]

Agreed Eric!
Just finished the entire loop with same group. Up the CA side and back down the AZ. Mountain passes on CA side were Big Horn Sheep trails. Was Rugged as F***!!
Bikes really come to life with the Jones bars, very nimble.
Thank you for check it out!

If you bike pack often consider installing a 14-speed Rohloff and a front suspension fork for your fat bike. You will have a nicer and easier time pedaling through rough terrain.

[@JustinfromAZ]

I’m actually Very interested in the Rohloff hub. Will be a great upgrade to this rig.
No front suspension on this bike though. Most riding is heavy weight slow smooth trials.

[@StarEssences]

Maybe just a suspension stem instead; (helps to ease jarring to upper arms and shoulders from ground surfaces).

[@JustinfromAZ]

I’ll have to look into that tech.
A SON front and Rohloff rear hub would be a sweet wheel set for this rig.

[@gdiranger77]

Nice trip! Had everything from rain to bushwhacking. Cant go wrong with a little desert exploring!

[@JustinfromAZ]

Thanks buddy!

[@Cookingwithkiran1]

Nice video stay connected

[@TapioBlue]

Awesome, love seeing some Blackborows in action!

[@JustinfromAZ]

Very capable rigs!
"Horse With No Name" and "Tank"
Thanks for watching!!!

[@TapioBlue]

@@JustinfromAZ Hey, how is the frame sizing for you guys on the Blackborow's? I'm 5'-10" and chart shows medium for me but I usually ride large frames.

[@JustinfromAZ]

We are both around 6’2”. My buddy has longer legs, I have a longer torso. I wouldn’t want any smaller of a frame. Actually going to raise my handlebars for a more upright posture.

[@michaelrabago5539]

@@JustinfromAZ i put some Jones bars on my size medium Blackburow made it a great ride.

[@JustinfromAZ]

@@michaelrabago5539 yes the Jones bars are superior for multi day comfort!

[@robertgolden1534]

So tempted to get a fat bike. Yours is crazy long, must feel real stable.
Beautiful area too, looks like Mars.

[@JustinfromAZ]

Yes the extra length makes the bike a completely different beast. Super capable!

[@801Outdoors]

That was an awesome trip thanks for sharing that man🚲🚲🚲👍👍

[@JustinfromAZ]

Thank you for checking it out!

[@BrosephRussell]

That looked like a bad ass trip on them fat tire bikes HellToTheYeah steaks camping one hell of a 3 day trip

[@JustinfromAZ]

It was beautiful!
Thank you brother!

[@NEWTFACED85]

Wow, that's awesome!

[@JustinfromAZ]

Thanks Gabe!

[@Wingman115]

Good stuff.

[@JustinfromAZ]

Thank you buddy!

[@LayilaFaon]

looks so very beautiful out there :)

[@JustinfromAZ]

One of those areas you can almost hear the history echoing through the hills.
Thank you go watching!

[@MountainSportAirguns]

Jeesh man, what a trip! Beautiful area, very rugged and nasty in spots. Some of those rocks looked like a good test for those FAT tires. haha That little Ghost town with all the relics and stoves just laying around? WHAT's that place?

[@JustinfromAZ]

Pretty epic country!
Modern tires can sure take a beating that's for sure!
Ghost Town is where all relics from surrounding mines have been all brought to one place. Three of these types of locations are in this area.
Thank you for checking it out Dana!

[@PHARRAOH]

awesome. I could almost smell the fish to be caught along that river. way back you paddled past that section, did you not?

[@JustinfromAZ]

Yes this is my backpack. I've paddled that section a dozen or so time. I take my boat up there also.
Let's go here soon!
Catfish all night

[@ABAKORSKIY]

LONG BASE FRAME! WHO IS THE MANUFACTURER?

[@JustinfromAZ]

Bike is a Salsa Blackborow.
Thank you for watching!

[@The-GreenHornet]

Can I ask you, what type of food did you eat and bring with you out in the middle of nowhere?
This is the only thing I can't nail down.
I'm not into eating fake foods that a lot of bicyclists seem to eat, nor do I want to only eat snack type foods; which a lot of bicyclists also seem to eat as their main foods.
I realize that many good eating foods, need refrigeration, which is why I am struggling with this problem.

[@JustinfromAZ]

Corn tortilla, cheese and a fried spam single is a great breakfast.
Bags of black beans are great with the fried corn tortilla.
Dried Gnocchi or Tortellini is great calorie dense dinners. Add a single chicken in water packet.
The dried tomato soup singles are easy high in sodium which you need after sweating all day.
Egg noodles, butter singles, dried minced garlic and Parmesan.
I always start a trip with frozen steak and precook sausage packs.
Peanut butter singles, some have jelly included.
Ritz cheese cracker have a ton of sodium as well and are easy.
Lots of options to eat clean while spending time in the dirt!

[@michaelrabago5539]

What size tires were you running on the Blackborow it is a awesome bike.

[@JustinfromAZ]

Yes sir very capable rig.
I’m running a tubeless setup in 27.5X3.80.
It’s a good middle of the spectrum width. I’ve found it very adaptable.
Thank you for watching!

[@kennyness8881]

Nice trip. ALL THAT STUFF and no tent? What are you guys packing?

[@JustinfromAZ]

Thank you!
Only bring a tent when I have a woman with me. Time and a place for everything.
I bring a stainless wheel gun. Buddy had a Ti one. Good for high vibration and dust.
Thank you for checking the trip out!

[@kennyness8881]

@@JustinfromAZ I’m a Glock 43 guy…..lighter😃. But I’m also always a tent guy: There was an old western TV show called “Rifleman”….. Chuck Conners cowboy camped and woke up with a rattlesnake at his feet….really freaked me out. Tents are for me! Enjoyed your videos.

[@Radoslaw731]

Got a fatbike but can't afford a good tent 😂😅

[@JustinfromAZ]

Interesting little man. Thanks for watching!
