Ouch! I think I'm still sore :) This was without a doubt one of the toughest short adventures of my life, but also the most beautiful. I got to see parts of my state that I'd never seen before, and the wildflowers, WOW! Stage races are the real deal, and I'll forever have fond memories of the Trans Rockies and everyone involved. Thanks for following along, and hope that you're all enjoying the last bits of summer (in the northern hemisphere).

After finishing his 3rd 20 mile day in the mountains, the first words out of his mouth is "what a beautiful town." Amazing.

Damn Ryan, 6th place overall? Look at you go with your badass. Someone needs to run a background check on you with the guns you’re packing. Boom! Way to go. And no you’re not boring us with this stuff. Keep showing us beautiful landscapes, beautiful people, and the history lessons. I love the Ryan Van Duzer school of life.

Appreciate you Ryan! I started watching your videos sometime last year and have been addicted ever since. Originally I was intrigued by your cycling videos and was so inspired I started running in February and have now run two half marathons. I see ultras and lots of bikepacking in my future. Your love for people is contagious. Well done!

Ryan Van Duzer the half’s went well. I was definitely hurting but the second was better than the first. Learning a lot about pacing and strengthening ligaments and joints and such for longer efforts. All the pain and struggle is a no brainer when the payoff is experiencing the adventure. Thanks again for the videos.

The scenery is amazing and also the community of running is amazing. I might have an idea for keeping blisters at bay, this might sound or feel weird, smear vaseline all over your feet and toes, and then your running socks on, that should stop the friction happening with your feet in your running shoes.
