      @@duzer I did a 30 mile ride around suburbs of Phoenix and had a blowout 2 blocks from home. Is that a flattie or a whammy? Either way I forgot the chant. I should have known better. Did 40 miles on Saturday and no issue.

    Hey Ryan, had a fun thought. When you are positioning your camera for passing by shots, if you bring an attachment attached to your camera that could be hammered into a tree, or attached to branches really easily, maybe even something you could elongate then stick into the ground, you would have varying degrees of elevated angle shots that might look cool. Focused behind a leaf or pines or something from higher up. Just a thought 😎 Loving the smiles that you bring and like always enjoying watching your latest adventure. One more thing, I watch your videos right before going to bed because they give me an inner peace and calm before entering dreamland. Thanks for that Ryan and thanks for being you man!

    Thanks for sharing the stories about Camp Hale and your grandfather. I think he'd be proud of you and how you memorialized him. Amazing that he was Olympian in 1960! The club I'm a member of were accomplished German & Ausrian skiers back then. Many of our members were recruited to help set up the alpine ski courses at Squaw. My in-laws attended the 1960 Squaw Valley Olympics. Pretty cool connection.

    to stomp myself to death. What an adventure! When we finally got back to the car, we all just laid down on the parking lot.

    you have very good Mini 2 skills, and love the alpine shots. Those logs looked vary intentionally placed to lockout the trail use on many of your shots the foliage was without tree aligned in liner fashion, strange. GoPro looked go, you should offer it up if it is useable. I am confused when your riding as to what camera you are using, I would guess that it’s the Hero because it is versatile, and horizon leveling, but the clouds don’t look blown and the sound is good, and I am not use to that with GoPro.

    Great video Duzer! On Aug. 1 I rode this section in reverse starting in Leadville (John and Molly's) and coming down into Breck. Five miles above Hwy 9 I crashed, broke 10 ribs and punctured a lung. I am now recuperating, riding my trainer safely indoors and watching your videos. Looking forward to getting back on the CT and riding the whole thing!

    Its kinda comforting to see a local struggle to clock in as little distance as we visitors from the other side of the globe did. But the CT is addictive ... its the perfect mix of punishment and fun. We did it with full Enduro rigs and less rattling gear on the bike to have maximum fun on the downhills ;-) ... our video is not as informative as yours but still was fun to document it - anyway keep up the good camera work.

    What was up with all of that decommissioned trail at the beginning? Surely there was a junction of a different trail around it? Seems like it was a very hard but rewarding day! One of the patriarchs of a family in the small town I grew up in was in the 10th as well and fought in Europe in WWII. I guess it was likely he also trained at Camp Hale.

    Now, the issue with the logs on the trail has me thinking they were PURPOSELY placed to disrupt the trail. For what reason, who knows. Stay safe and keep posting, THANK YOU...
