    Great video. I live here in Colorado and love it when foreigners have the ambition to come and really experience the beauty of the land instead of just walking around the ski town centers with a million other tourists.

      Jonas M I recognized part of that as the rainbow trail at the top of Monarch pass. Great ride!! BTW here in Colorado...Elk are Elk and Moose are Moose...we have both

    • @JonasMTB
      @JonasMTB  7 років тому

      Hi Scott. Yeah, thats the trail, really good!
      I think the confusion about the moose elk depends on where you are from :-)
      From Wiki: "Alces alces is called a "moose" in North American English, but an "elk" in British English. That same word "elk" in North American English refers to a completely different species of deer, the Cervus canadensis, also called the wapiti"

      It is amazing what billions of years of geological processes can do :) Combine that with billions of years of evolution to give me a body I can physiologically ride a bike with and it's a good time to be alive. Amazing to think we slithered out of the ocean millennia ago. What a world...

    I've been a mountain biker for almost 25 years and every time I watch this it reminds me of why I love the sport so much.

    I've watched this several times over the past 2 years and send it to others to try to get them excited to do it...no takers so I may have to do the whole thing on my own. I just rode Kenosha pass to Breckenridge today and it wasn't the most secluded portion but its nice.

    • @JonasMTB
      @JonasMTB  7 років тому +3

      Hi. Yeah, that was me. Thank for for the help and time you gave us! The rear derailleur was all gone, but I did manage to get set it up as a single speed, so we arrived in Durango on schedule :-)

  • @travisbarnes4802

    This could be the best video ever made of biking the Colorado Trail. Also, I noticed that you guys packed everything on your back, which I think is by far a better option than all these guys you see that weigh the bike down with gear. Well done all the way around!

    • @JonasMTB

      Hi Derek! Nice, it's an incredible experience.
      I brought with me two batteries, and that was enough, charged them up whenever I had the chance. Maybe bring three or a small power charger if you use the camera a lot :-)

      Hi. The new Nobby Nic tyre was the dominant tire on the trip. We used the Hilleberg Anjan 3, check out my gear list from the trip in the description :-)

    Simply awesome! Jonas, do you have the information about the trip? Like, do you have to ask for permission somewhere, places to stay/eat when not camping, gpx of the trail? I'm really interested in doing something like this!

      Hello Eduardo.
      Check out www.coloradotrail.org/
      Buy the book and you will have maps and all the info you need :-)
      You do not need permission, but you can not ride in the national parks :-/

    This was a fantastic video, and I immediately shared it with my spouse. Was this trip in late summer? Could you advise what time of year you did this? Thank you

      Hi Dan. Thank you!
      We did this trip the last week of June and the first in July.
      Its hard to say when its the best time to ride it, be careful not to do it to early, if its a snowy season, the passes may not be rideable until Juli.
