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

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! 👍

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.

Beautiful! Not much better than ripping through the aspen groves on fine single track during peak colors! Thanks for sharing! 😎🍻
Wow, what a trail and scenery. One of your best videos, Brian. Thanks for sharing your adventures!
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 😅
Awesome! Love to see more of your adventures off the bike, food stops, local attractions, tourist info, etc
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.

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).
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!
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! 😊

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.

Welcome to our neck of the woods! True mountain biking, Blackhawk is definitely one of the classics.
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....

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.
Wow,what a place!!!thanks for your video, really. enjoyed watching
great ride, inspired to go for a ride now. thanks!
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.
This was an AWESOME video to watch. Wow is all I can say. Love it.
What an amazing ride some sketchy moments and fantastic views thanks for sharing 💪🏾💯
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....

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 💯👍🙋♂

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.

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/
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.
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
Wish I could do a run with you all. Don't think my Costco Northrock would hold up.... I probably wouldn't either.
celebration lake! did you check out the salamanders?
I was hoping you would be catching up with Alex-singletrack
