If this isn't the dream, I don't know what is. We spent 7 hours out there and it was worth it.

THERE IS NO GIVEAWAY. THERE IS NO PRIZE. MY COMMENTS LOOK LIKE THIS AND HAVE A CHECK MARK. STOP FALLING FOR SCAMS. I WILL NOT REQUIRE YOU TO BUY WALMART GIFT CARDS SO I CAN SEND YOU A BIKE!!
I don't know how people keep falling for those scams. I guess I've been looking at them since the 90s so I can see it better maybe? Idk. 🤦🤦
Just wondering why didn’t you have a mudguard for a ride like that, and why did you decide to brink your ripmo Instead of your oso
@@kodi.hartMTB I wonder why all youtubers don't run the largest mudguard they can find. Seems sort of integral to the job.
Thank you Sir! Class act.
@@kodi.hartMTB because ebikes aren’t allowed on any of the trails he rode in this vid except for the double track climb.
You’re absolutely right about staying active, that is the key. I just turned 60 and have over 2300 miles on my mtb so far this year. You’re an inspiration to me Brian! Ride on! 👍
That's what it's all about!! Keep moving.
100% especially being a new dad, can't have a dad bod anymore
Absolutely epic! Been watching you for years and recently had to make a huge life change and exit a very toxic relationship. Turned to mountain biking as my escape,was lucky to get a couple hundred miles a year before and now I'm hitting 100 a month. Thanks for the inspiration Brian.
That is the best! KEEP IT UP!
Wowwww that drive looks absolutely epic, you caught it just right!
Most definitely!! I was amazed.
This one was a beautiful beast. Great job and amazing mountain shots etc...👍 Your guardian Angel is getting plenty of work hangin around you dude.
I have never been in USA or Canada but watching many videos from there. In my opinion, Colorado trails look best of all, it's very beautiful place especially in autumn. Hope one day I'll taste them personally 😋
你好宝贝
Wow. When you say, 'this is why we do it' and ' if this isn't the dream'. Spot on, man. Killer ride!! Freakin love it.
It was so, so good!
Wow, what a trail and scenery. One of your best videos, Brian. Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Awesome! Love to see more of your adventures off the bike, food stops, local attractions, tourist info, etc
Great video! Colorado is so beautiful this time of year! "Bit off more than I could shred" is so good, I'll definitely be using that in the future if you don't mind 😅
oh wow. Wow!! The scenery is absolutely stunning!! 🤯 That is incredible!
One of your best videos you’ve done in a long time imho, really enjoyed watching the pain and pleasure! Beautiful views and great trails for the win!
This is truly AWESOME!Brian you never disappoint!🙏👍
That definitely was an epic day of riding! Wow! Great job everyone!
great ride, inspired to go for a ride now. thanks!
Looks amazing! I can't wait to move to Colorado next summer. Your videos have inspired me to go out and ride more, this summer was my first trip to Whistler and first (two) rides at Soquel demo forest.
Great video! I’m lucky to call this my home, and this is certainly one of my top rides. Excellent job of capturing it
Wow you showed some awesome scenery Brian and the riding wasn't to shabby either. Great work.
This looks so fun. I'm just getting back into bicycling and starting light trails. Thanks for bringing us the joy and beauty of this sport.
This is one of my favorite videos you have ever posted. Great trail, honest suffering, amazing scenery. Thank you.
So glad to hear that!
Epic ride. Fall, while it doesn’t last as long as it should, has some of the best riding conditions. Looking forward to the next one.
Colorado resident here, thank you for sharing!
This stuff is dream-worthy. Some of the most incredible footage you've gotten, my friend. Wow.
It was an adventure!
Wow,what a place!!!thanks for your video, really. enjoyed watching
Welcome to our neck of the woods! True mountain biking, Blackhawk is definitely one of the classics.
The Forest Service did a bunch of work on the road up to Celebration so it was in the best shape I've ever seen it. This is one of my absolute favorite sections of the Colorado Trail. The descent from Blackhawk pass is hard to beat and so glad you got to finish on Stagecoach (West Cross Creek).
This was an AWESOME video to watch. Wow is all I can say. Love it.
What a muddy, cold, adventure! Freaking awesome!
What an amazing ride some sketchy moments and fantastic views thanks for sharing 💪🏾💯
Beautiful! Not much better than ripping through the aspen groves on fine single track during peak colors! Thanks for sharing! 😎🍻
One of your best ever!
My 89-year-old mother grew up around Ouray. I showed her your opening shots of the area and the leaves. She hasn't been back there in decades. She actually teared up remembering how gorgeous it is in that area. Thank you for sharing! 😊
That's amazing!! I'm glad I took those shots, so beautifu!
Beautiful ride. This is a " True " mountain bike ride, how they were first intended. While I have ridden St. George, Moab and such, still my favorite rides are like this one. Up in the mountains, remote and stunning scenery. Again, it's the remoteness of these rides that makes them so unique. Having been a flight nurse for 18 years, the remote locations lend to the risk involved in this type of ride. Awesome video Brian....
Most definitely! This is everything mountain biking should be, tough climbs, danger and plenty of fun!
What an amazing trail & such awesome views! Thanks for taking us along with you. I discovered cheap diapers are great for drying out shoes and you can keep reusing. I still using some from 14 years ago
That's great!!
GOSH...look at all this beautiful Impressions of Mother Nature. Stunning, Breath taking...Mind blowing all these Colors of the Fall. And there's already light Snow Ground. My Bike was looking exactly same muddy as yours. On the Way home I came across the Industry Park and stopped at a do it yourself Car Wash with Pressure Power Washers. After I got my Bike Mudd free it felt like having 8Ibs less of Weight. Thx for the Video & happy Weekend from southwest Germany 💯👍🙋♂
1) GORGEOUS terrain.
2) You can keep that mud.
3) That is Squatch country.
4) Nature is beautiful because it takes us to our primordial beginnings. We are descendants of nature, so we're inclined to sense an invocation of our heritage and birthright. 🙂
5) Thank you for taking on another ful-filled adventure.
Stunning scenery! Makes me want to ride the Colorado Trail :). It's been on my bucket list for a while, but so far I haven't gotten around to it....
This looks awesome
Beautiful trails and views. MTB heaven
Nice trails, man!!! Awesome landscapes also🤩
Greetings from Romania 🇷🇴
Maaan. The Ibis is a beast on the trails
Amazing Brian!
Amazing drone shots at the beginning!
Colorado is one of my favourite places to ride a bike and is so beautiful 😍
Wau, blue square the best! What a colors, what a trail this Stagecoach!

Great video. More Colorado!
Absolutely epic ride in the back country.
Fantastic looking views and trail...
Hey kids, now THIS is mountain biking. Another great ride adventure.
Ugh. This makes me want to move back to Colorado and name myself the Colofornia Kid. 😂
Hahahahaa
Brian, Sawadee krap from Bangkok. WOW, how spectacular!! God's country for sure. Thank you for sharing his incredible ride! Ride that E Bike regarding altitudes above 5000 ft. Blue skies...
That’s an insane trail 👌👌
Love it ☺️
Rode in Crested Butte about a week ago. It is Gorgeous!
colorado is gorgeous!!!
What a descent. My arms would have been pumped out!
Epic ride. Looks fantastic on a 4k 70" tv. 😄
Epic dude!!!
I've been wanting to ride through mud like that so I can see how my tires do, how thedrivetrain keeps up, techy stuffy know, I love it, shows you're putting it through some shit
Sick video I love riding in CO! I'm hoping to ride in Colorado with Adam next time Im back from Kijabe.
You can also go up the east fork trail if you prefer a single-track climb.
Maybe July would be dry and warm ride. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
I need to change to atleast 2k so the bushes on ur video dont keep falling apart the pixels.. well this is very great video as always Brian !! Thanks for the experience..
The best view of any of your video library! You are amazing! You name should be Nike , cause you go for it!
Hahaha, thanks so much Scott!
Wow... EPIC!
Grew up in Dgo. Started Mtb in 1984 there.
Your riding is owsome
What you're saying about this trail just reminded me of one of Yoan Barelli's last videos: "Everything becomes a pro line if you're going fast enough"
Hahaha, that's the truth!
Grate man 🤘💯❤❤❤👌👌i love jungle ride ❤👌💯love from India🇮🇳
Lachlan Morton just broke the speed record on the whole CT by over 10 hours. Your video helps show how crazy that is!
Wow! That is really something!
8:16 What a life lesson! Nicest videos!!!! xD
Awesome epik trail 👍🤘💪❤❤❤
So beautiful
That was insane) cheers
If I look at the scenery, I become part of the scenery! 😆
Haha exactly!
Epic !!
Ahhh. Life's greatest paradox. I like this version of it: "Don't trade what you want most for what you want now".
Have you looked into a DC to DC charger? That'll keep the batteries topped off from the alternator when the engine is running. Then it won't draw power from the starter battery when the vehicle isn't actively being charged by the alternator.
Currently sat in my second week of a broken collar bone. Praying for the trail!
Argh, hate that! One day at a time.
Beautifull place wow.....😍🥰😘
So close to 500k 🤩🤘🔥
Very close!
Incredible scenery! Not keen on that peanut butter mud though 🤣
Saludos amigo ! Great video. 🎃
REaly nice RIDE!
You go on a ride like this when you have new brake pads! :D
watch about 15 secs and stopped the video. I realized this one is going to need to be watched on the TV this evening and not on my phone screen!
Have you thought about getting a trail dog? I think it would be so cool.
Great video as always.
Greetings from Brazil.
When we ride with my friend VT, i saved myself many times, because he is so strong! Just Climb, and Climb, and more and more! :D
Hahaha yes!
If i may, Sir - "Magura MT7". 😎
Great!
That looks like a blast. Will you be stopping by Gunnison while you’re in Colorado?
Absolute treasure trove of scenery! CO is magnificent in the Fall :)
I live in colorado and one thing I wanted to ask was how do you handle sandy loose dirt that sink ur wheel in a inch or two.
what is the microphone set up you have for one person and for when you have two people. Audio is flawless!
Need a Mudhugger (Mud Guard) on the front! :D
Bikeful is the word you were lookin' for. LOL :)
Hahha, I love that!
Wish I could do a run with you all. Don't think my Costco Northrock would hold up.... I probably wouldn't either.
I have ridden about 5 hrs of the Colorado Trail and understand the high altitude effect. Sapping to say the least! Love Carvers Brewing food and beers. Am I allowed to ask where your wife is on this trip?
Oh u lucky bastard, u lucked out with that amazing weather...what a treat!! When was that exactly?!
It worked out well! I always have a Trailforks / Strava link in the description if you're curious about the specifics:
www.trailforks.com/ridelog/view/45249573/
The way I zero down a muddy trail ride is by it's grade and how downhill it is, if there's puddles, I stear clear, but if the rain has good runoff ability then I'll still ride it, it's ok to ride in rain and also if it's a low popularity trail way out in the middle of the forest then meh it'll be ok, I still do my part though and avoid highly saturated spots
