Great Divide Mountain Bike Route 2024: Part 3, Salida - Brush Mountain Lodge

I'm riding the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route from Antelope Wells, NM to Banff, Canada in 2024 with my friend, Keith 'Old Timer' Forsythe.
I'm shooting, editing on my iPhone and uploading as the adventure unfolds, time and wifi permitting.
This is part 3 of our bike adventure, from Salida, Colorado to the Brush Mountain Lodge, Colorado.
Music:

Great coverage of the great devide tour. Coincidentally the crazy guy on 6:20 is the former professional road cyclist Laurens ten Dam who road this trail in 15 days and 6 minutes. I wonder if he enjoyed it as much as you did

amazing adventure...thanks for sharing...do you know how much your bike and gear weighed?

[@adventurenomad777]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! The bike is about 11kg (24 lbs), and my gear is about 9kg (20 lbs), for a total of 20kg (44 lbs) Here’s how it breaks down:

You stayed in the same Hostile as me in Breck. Great job capturing the trails and challenges!

[@adventurenomad777]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! Safe travels!

[@Jbirdsprings]

Thanks for taking us along your journey . Great videos. Do you by chance have a list of equipment you carry on your bike? What type of bike do you ride?

[@adventurenomad777]

Thank You🙏 Those are great questions, and I can do a future video to walk you through my gear list and thought process, which includes my thru-hiking experience behind them. It will be a couple of weeks tho, as my next video is already in the works.

[@ericbraun7874]

Just subscribed to your channel, enjoying your videos.
Laurens ten Dam, the Tour Divide rider you showed is in third place currently, he's a total beast out there.

[@adventurenomad777]

He was nice enough to to stop and have a chat!

[@lauritammiste4169]

@@adventurenomad777 even crazier that Laurens during his pro times has finished 9th overall at Tour de France and 8th at Vuelta. World class. Nice to see you going and enjoying your ride!

[@salmonella508]

I’ve seen several of these videos about the GDMBR. This is the first one I’ve seen that somebody’s rode from south to north. I’m sure there’s more out there but…….

[@adventurenomad777]

There are not many of us...

[@showze21]

good video

[@kellyfromiowa1849]

I wondered when you would start crossing paths with the racers from the north. They may do it faster, but you will enjoy your ride ultimately more then they will. Watching old timer ride with you gives me encouragement to get out on my bike. Ride on!!

[@adventurenomad777]

Thank you! 🙏

[@BIKESnSKILLETS]

[@adventurenomad777]
