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! ðŸ‘
That's what it's all about!! Keep moving.
100% especially being a new dad, can't have a dad bod anymore
Wowwww that drive looks absolutely epic, you caught it just right!
Most definitely!! I was amazed.
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!
Watching this video makes me glad I have an emtb and a gym membership! Unless biking is the ONLY thing you do to stay in shape, doing this on an analog bike is just insane... Much respect! Epic ride. Thanks
Amen to that one!! It's a big ride
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!
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 😋
ä½ å¥½å®è´
This is one of my favorite videos you have ever posted. Great trail, honest suffering, amazing scenery. Thank you.
So glad to hear that!
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 😅
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!
Colorado resident here, thank you for sharing!
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.
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!
This stuff is dream-worthy. Some of the most incredible footage you've gotten, my friend. Wow.
It was an adventure!
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).
Ugh. This makes me want to move back to Colorado and name myself the Colofornia Kid. 😂
Hahahahaa
Wow,what a place!!!thanks for your video, really. enjoyed watching
Beautiful! Not much better than ripping through the aspen groves on fine single track during peak colors! Thanks for sharing! 😎ðŸ»
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.
great ride, inspired to go for a ride now. thanks!
Wow you showed some awesome scenery Brian and the riding wasn't to shabby either. Great work.
Wow, what a trail and scenery. One of your best videos, Brian. Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Maaan. The Ibis is a beast on the trails
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!
Awesome! Love to see more of your adventures off the bike, food stops, local attractions, tourist info, etc
Colorado is one of my favourite places to ride a bike and is so beautiful ðŸ˜
Welcome to our neck of the woods! True mountain biking, Blackhawk is definitely one of the classics.
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 💯ðŸ‘🙋â€â™‚
What a muddy, cold, adventure! Freaking awesome!
Great video! I’m lucky to call this my home, and this is certainly one of my top rides. Excellent job of capturing it
Hey kids, now THIS is mountain biking. Another great ride adventure.
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!!
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.
Wau, blue square the best! What a colors, what a trail this Stagecoach!
This looks awesome
That definitely was an epic day of riding! Wow! Great job everyone!
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.
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!
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....
Grew up in Dgo. Started Mtb in 1984 there.
One of your best ever!
Absolutely epic ride in the back country.
Amazing drone shots at the beginning!
You can also go up the east fork trail if you prefer a single-track climb.
Nice trails, man!!! Awesome landscapes also🤩
Greetings from Romania 🇷🇴
If I look at the scenery, I become part of the scenery! 😆
Haha exactly!
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...
This is truly AWESOME!Brian you never disappoint!ðŸ™ðŸ‘
Beautiful trails and views. MTB heaven
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.
Such a beautiful scenery, pain and pleasure indeed.🚵ðŸ¿â€â™‚👌ðŸ¿
What an amazing ride some sketchy moments and fantastic views thanks for sharing 💪ðŸ¾ðŸ’¯
What a descent. My arms would have been pumped out!
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
Rode in Crested Butte about a week ago. It is Gorgeous!
colorado is gorgeous!!!
Your riding is owsome
8:16 What a life lesson! Nicest videos!!!! xD
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!
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!
Fantastic looking views and trail...
This was an AWESOME video to watch. Wow is all I can say. Love it.
So beautiful
Amazing Brian!
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!
Ahhh. Life's greatest paradox. I like this version of it: "Don't trade what you want most for what you want now".
Absolute treasure trove of scenery! CO is magnificent in the Fall :)
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..
Epic ride. Looks fantastic on a 4k 70" tv. 😄
Beautifull place wow.....ðŸ˜ðŸ¥°ðŸ˜˜
Maybe July would be dry and warm ride. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Love it ☺ï¸
another awesome job!! great views. trail one mud flap
Sick video I love riding in CO! I'm hoping to ride in Colorado with Adam next time Im back from Kijabe.
Currently sat in my second week of a broken collar bone. Praying for the trail!
Argh, hate that! One day at a time.
Great video. More Colorado!
That’s an insane trail 👌👌
Grate man 🤘💯â¤â¤â¤ðŸ‘ŒðŸ‘Œi love jungle ride â¤ðŸ‘ŒðŸ’¯love from India🇮🇳

You go on a ride like this when you have new brake pads! :D
Incredible scenery! Not keen on that peanut butter mud though 🤣
Wow... EPIC!
Awesome epik trail ðŸ‘🤘💪â¤â¤â¤
If i may, Sir - "Magura MT7". 😎
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!
Have you thought about getting a trail dog? I think it would be so cool.
Great video as always.
Greetings from Brazil.
That looks like a blast. Will you be stopping by Gunnison while you’re in Colorado?
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?
So close to 500k 🤩🤘🔥
Very close!
Epic dude!!!
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
That was insane) cheers
Bikeful is the word you were lookin' for. LOL :)
Hahha, I love that!
Great!
Epic !!
Nice! Hit me up next time you're in the area, I'll show you some sick rides you may not know about
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/
Wish I could do a run with you all. Don't think my Costco Northrock would hold up.... I probably wouldn't either.
what is the microphone set up you have for one person and for when you have two people. Audio is flawless!
