- Rogelio, Aileen, and I did the Ribbon Trail on our last day in Colorado and it was such a cool experience. The directions were semi hare to follow since you’re just on a massive slab of rock but we eventually found our way. Hope y’all enjoy this one
Looks like the Ribbon in October. Love the Shirts! "The Ribbon" was built from the Lunch Loop Parking Lot as an ""Ass"cent" not a Descent. With Untold, Unaccountable, and Unbilled Hours "Runnin' Down a Dream" ~ Tom Petty... Never stopped to think about the countless hours of bliss and self discovery such a trail could bestow for the Humans! FYI: All the Nay Sayers (The Lunch Loop Crowd) in GJ in the Late 80's said it was Ridiculous and Impossible. I said...Fuxk Off!
Damnnn so it’s been around that long?? That’s wild, I didn’t realize it had so much history
Yep! The 1980's not the 1880's! The "Old Gordon Trail" to west maybe the 1880's. Funny! We used Old Gordon to train for the Pikes Peak Marathon along with the front side of the Grand Mesa. FYI: We also climbed and descended the front side (west face) of the Grand Mesa with our Mt. Bikes in the late 80's long before the Palisade Plunge. Along with more undocumented Crazy Shxt! Insane Blood Pumping Fun for the most part. Only regret! Should have done more. Still have plenty of rides in my mind!@@offdaystv
@@MountaineeringSenseWith no suspension either? That’s pretty badass lol. I wish I could have ridden back then just to see how raw the trails were.
Thanks! Ride the Trails you have but always remain opened minded. When the Ribbon happened it was about the time of Shocks on the Pedal Bikes. I did get some shocks, but honestly cannot remember if it was pre Ribbon or post Ribbon.
If I tried it again today, and I just might(?), the BLM would Hang, Draw and Quarter me!
By and Large, Shocks are a Positive Hindrance for the advancement of the Human Species. Much like indoor plumbing!
Nothing bad ass about it! Just "Running Down a Dream!" First Amendment Shxt! Given your comment, I'm certain you would likely do the same!
Enjoy Western Colorado! Love the Shirts! A positive attribute to humanity at a time it is most needed!
Tell your friend to get back more on his back wheel
His body
@@davidodell4687Any specific moments in the video? I’ll show him
@offdaystv So? Pretty much. The whole video? He looks Like Hes just too far forward on his bike. Tell him to get a little more over his back wheel his body wait. I think he'll find he has a lot more control over the bike.
@@davidodell4687He rented this bike so it could have just been the feel of the fit too. He shreds on his vintage bike back at home
