I lived in Colorado for 15 years. I really do miss those mountain rides. Thanks for doing a great job on the video.. and now I'm going to have to put Colorado on my list in the summer to head back and do those mountain rides 1 more time
Rode your lovely Independence Pass last year end of August but started in Aspen. One of the comments here is absolutely true, can never go wrong with Colorado. Beautiful state.
My grandfather work for the Rio grand railroad out of Denver for 1914 to about 1968 we used to get to ride the trains up through the mountains for free. Hope to do a little bike riding this summer. I've spent quite a bit of time in the mountains but not on a motorcycle. Some of the most beautiful places in the US.
Awesome vid Staci! My Pop and I are riding back home to Denver for the July 4th weekend and we will definitely be checking out Leadville. I want to check out that saloon, doc Holliday used to frequent!
It was a pleasure meeting you in Sturgis. Thank you for taking a moment to visit with my wife and I and it makes watching your videos more fun to watch now that we personally have met you
Nice! As a Colorado native & rider I love your Colorado content. The cool back stories and great food spots just make my list of "get to" places longer with each video.
The food! that pizza! this is all gonna have to wait till i'm home to watch hahaha! oh those colorado views. I couldn't help myself to get into some photography riding around the mountains 👍
@@ridetofood I subbed to your channel I ride an adv bike too. I also ride solo, I book marked your videos and am going to take the ride you take and see that stuff. I've been a street rider for the last 20 years but have been riding since 1968. I'm going to spend my golden years seeing the stuff you share
We watch a lot of motorcycle channels and you are probably the one who camps out the most. Love watching your journeys across our beautiful country. Come on up to the PNW. We have some beautiful roads to ride on
Love this episode. Rad content and spot on editing. Love the drone blends with the ground shots. Still hard to believe you are a one woman production. Awesome piece!!
I really enjoy your content Staci and much respect for your independence and sense of adventure. I’m in Ontario, Canada and have done 6 rides in the Rockies with former work colleagues and friends. Independence Pass is my 2nd favourite road, after the Million Dollar Highway between Ouray and Durango. Keep following your dreams and ride safe! You’re an inspiration to many ! Btw I love Leadville.
it's crazy that stuff is up there, just out in the middle of the wilderness. I could imagine how incredible and intimidating it must look in the winter. And, as always, you're amazing!
the roads calling me now. I bought a new2024 low rider st and plane a round trip to Texas but which way and I gotta eat at these killer dish eat marathon. great videos. big island.
Hola amiga motera, acabo de ver tu último vídeo , me ha encantado ya que soy amante de los viajes con acampada en la naturaleza. Dos cosas que me han gustado aún que soy más de custom a sido la HD Pan América y la Pizza que té comías.🤣👏🍻🏍️🏍️🏍️🍕
Yesss!! I grabbed some Ben&Jerrey's On my way home. Late night show, Cherry crumble, Chunky monkey And Italian Sub for desert. Lol, glad I got snacks because one of my favorite motorcycle chick's gave content. Thanks!
Love your content and the historical info you intersperse! Only ever rode down the western spine of Colorado on my way to Moab, but definitely high on my list to explore. These videos help get me thru a cold Canadian winter on the prairies😀
That will be awesome! You can take the West Elk Loop from Carbondale over to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and into Montrose. That'll be a beautiful ride!
I grew up in Bailey, and in my highschool/young adult days, I would always go exploring out around the SouthPark area. I always wanted to retire in Buena Vista. It was (maybe still is?) such a great little hub kind of out in the middle of nowhere, but also right in the middle of some really great parts of the state. I haven't lived in CO for ~15yrs, but your videos bring back some really great memories!
I love riding in Colorado been going there every year since 1991 The best state i think to ride in. I have rode in 49 of them so far, still need Hawaii. However I am a pizza snob and that was not a real pizza. Chicago Southside Tavern style is the best. Even better than Chicago deep dish. Great video. this summer bringing my XR650 to do the unpaved passes. My KTM 1290 is way too big for some of those knarley passses
What a terrific ride to food video Stacey! The scenery was beautiful. I hope that you made it out of Leadville without getting caught in a snowstorm on the way back home. Love the 360 camera and the drone footage.
I had pizza there 7-8 years ago and it was excellent. Made it there again this past August and they were closed. 😥 Independence is one of my Colorado favorites as well.
Oh, my goodness, that video did my heart good! Those are my favorite rides and right out my backdoor, too! The pie in Leadville is to die for and the restaurants in Buena Vista (Bew-nah, if your from there!) are great as well. The fall riding is second to none, but the shorter days make it seem like I'm always racing the sun, because when it goes down, the Big Chill sets in! Thanks for showing what a great place Colorado is for motorcycles!
Twenty years ago I lived in the tiny former ski village of Cuchara, Co in the south central Sangre de Cristo mountains. The view from Cordova Pass at over 11,000 ft is hard to beat. I still ride there once a year from Tucson. And oh, the food at The Cuchara Yacht Club ain't bad either!
the important thing is to keep up the enthusiasm, I always pray that I will be healthy, always happy, stay focused with positive thinking that is done every day, is running now good job solo travel Highlight Ride To Food
Road Aspen to Leadville last Sept. on my way to SD. Loved CO so much during the “leaf peepin’” I’m headed back next Sept for more and to ride the MDH. Loved watching this, broght back great memories.
The other good thing about those dehydrated dinners is they make you constipated so you don’t have to do the dirt business much while traveling. Obviously not good if you’re going for a few days, but pretty good for overnighted.
Great video! It is so beautiful there. I liked the nighttime scene outside of the tent with the moving stars. I wouldn't have minded seeing a little more of that scene. I appreciate your channel!
Wow, I really enjoyed watching your solo motorcycle camping trip in the Colorado Mountains on the Harley-Davidson Pan America! The views were absolutely breathtaking and it looked like an adventure of a lifetime. Your passion for riding and exploring the great outdoors is truly inspiring. Keep up the great work and keep sharing your amazing experiences with us!
Loving your content Staci - going to do my best to embrace ride TO food as I spent way too much time not slowing down and enjoying my days out, never stopping anywhere to just embrace the day.
Next time you're in Leadville and in the mood for a steak, check out Quincy's. In Aspen, I go to Mezzaluna (wood fired pizza but not cheap. Well, it's Aspen). In Alma Jct/Fairplay, check out the Mexican. I've been touring CO for 50 years.
Can’t get enough of seeing you on that Pan Am. Wonderful episode, great mix of content, you have done it again. I hope everyone that watches this realizes how much work it is to create Moto content this good, you make it look easy. Thanks so much for bringing me along.
Thanks for shering Staci.
Thanks for watching! 😊

You'll love it just as much as you did when you lived there! :)
Great video, Staci. Love the historical commentary. 👍🏾
Absolutely beautiful
Can never go wrong with Colorado. Another great job Staci. Thanks for bringing us along.
Adding more to my list! Nice video again Staci!
You are best, eres al mejor, Siiiiiii!!!
I love your videos and to you.
Wow! Water just dropped from my mouth when I saw you ate the PIZZA! LOL LOL great video! Thanks.
That bike was made for you. Guaranteed harley saw your videos prior.
They did! That’s why they let me borrow this bike to make a few videos with it. 😊
Rode your lovely Independence Pass last year end of August but started in Aspen. One of the comments here is absolutely true, can never go wrong with Colorado. Beautiful state.
Nice! I prefer to start on the Aspen side. Such a great ride!! Thanks for watching 😊
🤣 I had totally forgotten I gave you that pre packed meal 🤣 glad it went to good use!
Loved this episode!
I totally forgot until I was editing the video LOL!!! Thanks friend! :)

The Silver Dollar!!! Youll love it! :)
@@ridetofood YES, that’s it. I remember talking about it in one of your throwbacks and I was telling my Ol’ Man. Thanks again.
It was a pleasure meeting you in Sturgis. Thank you for taking a moment to visit with my wife and I and it makes watching your videos more fun to watch now that we personally have met you
Thanks for saying hi! Appreciate all the kind words and support. See y'all on the road! :)
I'm not from the US, probably will never ever get to do these beautiful roads, but really watching your videos for inspiration. Awesome job! 😊
Staci always feeding our eyes with these views and the food! 🙌
doin my best, fam!
Nice! As a Colorado native & rider I love your Colorado content. The cool back stories and great food spots just make my list of "get to" places longer with each video.
howdy frm GJ!
👋
Great adventure! Great video. Hope I can see those things in person soon
Colorado is a bucket list state for motorcyclists that's for sure!
@@ridetofood I agree. Your videos to do a great job displaying it.
Fantastic views, thanks for sharing 👍
Riding the bike out there is about the only thing I miss about Colorado. Crested Butte over Monarch Pass was also one of my favorite runs.
What an awesome video. That train stuff is really cool. Thanks for the history!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
What a cool trail. Thanks for the tour guide along with the great ride footage.
The food! that pizza! this is all gonna have to wait till i'm home to watch hahaha! oh those colorado views. I couldn't help myself to get into some photography riding around the mountains 👍
Thank you, I used to live in Denver, then Colo springs. I'm in phx now, but miss colorado.
Great job! You go girl!
Great video! I will be making sure that I visit Colorado sometime because there’s some awesome roads up there!
So awesome! Can’t wait to ride through there in the future!
I've lived in Colorado for 62 years You seem to be well educated on the history.
I just enjoy reading historical markers and then furthering education by using the wonderful world of Google lol

thank you! been up to the PNW a couple of tiems. Long before I decided to put my travels on youtube though!
Never rode Boreas pass, might have to try it out next season. Safe travels 😎✌🏻
It's pretty cool! I'd say its fairly easy. Only one bumpy section. If you've ridden to Animas Forks from Silverton, it'll be a breeze lol enjoy!!!
Great video! Man, I hope that ends up being a bike of yours for a while.
I gave this one back over a year ago actually lol. This was filmed at the end of 2021. 😅
@@ridetofood You hear that Milwaukee?!? Get this girl back on another one of these, hell just sign it over! These videos are gold!
Love this episode. Rad content and spot on editing. Love the drone blends with the ground shots. Still hard to believe you are a one woman production. Awesome piece!!
Thank you! It takes a ton of time to do it all alone lol wish I could produce more of them but, i'll need a team for that! One day. :)

Thank you 😊 glad you’ve gotten to enjoy a few of the best roads in CO! 🏍️🏔️
Just moved to Colorado 3 months ago and chomping at the bit to get out there on my bike. Enjoyed your video. Thanks!
You’re gonna love it! Only about 6-8 more weeks til the good riding begins to open!!
Wow that was really beautiful! Fall is my fave time to ride 😊 Thanks for another good one Staci! ✌️
Its a spectacular time of year, for sure! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Solid video. I didn't make that pass, but I did ride monarchs the last time I was out there. Loads of fun.
Note to self, remember jacket when on top of mountains 😂
🤣
it's crazy that stuff is up there, just out in the middle of the wilderness. I could imagine how incredible and intimidating it must look in the winter. And, as always, you're amazing!
Especially back before it was so easy to get up to these areas!! I always wonder what it was like back in the "wild west!" Thanks for watching :)
Thanks for the views and lessons. Very interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Looking pretty comfy on that Pan America.
I miss it every day!
Great vlog Staci! Camping and pizza! Awesome 😎 🇺🇸
Thanks Chuck!
The pizza looks to die for! Larry in Fort Worth
It was a great spot!
you are amazing, such beautiful energy.
Thank you!
Always good solid videos from you, top of the line editing, great choise of music and awsome riding. Big thanks Staci!!
Thank you 😊

Colorful Colorado! 😊
Enjoy your videos. They're very well done ; music, etc is excellent.
Thank ya!
OMG! That Pizza.
I’m sayin!

Thank ya! 😊
Great video as usual Staci. I Love the nature in the United States ever since I made a road trip a couple of years a go
Greetings from Colorful Colorado!
Was about to jeep over that pass a couple of weeks ago but after seeing this I may just just take the Sg when it gets warmer.
the roads calling me now. I bought a new2024 low rider st and plane a round trip to Texas but which way and I gotta eat at these killer dish eat marathon. great videos. big island.
Hola amiga motera, acabo de ver tu último vídeo , me ha encantado ya que soy amante de los viajes con acampada en la naturaleza. Dos cosas que me han gustado aún que soy más de custom a sido la HD Pan América y la Pizza que té comías.🤣👏🍻🏍️🏍️🏍️🍕
¡Me alegra que lo hayas disfrutado!
Красивая девушка и классно снятое мини путешествие. Продолжай в том же духе, все очень кинематографично!!
Thank you!
Yesss!! I grabbed some Ben&Jerrey's
On my way home. Late night show, Cherry crumble, Chunky monkey
And Italian Sub for desert. Lol, glad I got snacks because one of my favorite motorcycle chick's gave content. Thanks!
I admire your courage for doing these trips, and doing what you enjoy, life by the horns.
Just L I V I N 😎👍
Love your content and the historical info you intersperse! Only ever rode down the western spine of Colorado on my way to Moab, but definitely high on my list to explore. These videos help get me thru a cold Canadian winter on the prairies😀
Riding to Montrose from Kansas in June to meet a group from CA, gonna try to take Independence Pass now thanks for the tip!
That will be awesome! You can take the West Elk Loop from Carbondale over to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and into Montrose. That'll be a beautiful ride!
simple yet stylesh video
Thank you!

That pizza looked fantastic!!!!
A must stop if you’re ever in Leadville!!
Dam Staci I can't believe you're not cold in your tank top... I would be freezing..lol ... the pizza looks delicious...
I said I was cold lol!
Very well spoken and narated. great video. I need to take some lessons.
Thank you! 😊
Good storytelling, nicely photographed and edited, Kudos!
Thanks!

Great video. this summer bringing my XR650 to do the unpaved passes. My KTM 1290 is way too big for some of those knarley passses
It was a very real pizza it was just different from what you personally prefer lol have fun in the high country!!!
What a terrific ride to food video Stacey! The scenery was beautiful. I hope that you made it out of Leadville without getting caught in a snowstorm on the way back home. Love the 360 camera and the drone footage.
Thank you! Made it home without any hiccups 😊
Thanks for your video. Like it 😊
The pizza is awesome there
Agreeeed 🔥
Damn, that pizza made me hungry for a zah! 🍕 Awesome scenery. 😍 Delish looking food. 🤤 ❤📷🏍💕
Ty for the ride along I enjoyed the scenery
I had pizza there 7-8 years ago and it was excellent. Made it there again this past August and they were closed. 😥
Independence is one of my Colorado favorites as well.
Oh no!! Hopefully you’ll get another chance to try and eat there on your next trek. independence is so great!
So missing summer/fall riding right now. Great vid. High Mt Pies on the short list. 🍕🙌
If you haven’t, head to Gunnison for Mario’s pizza too! Lawd is it good
@@ridetofood Will do! Now I’m hungry for The Stash in CB 😂. There’s also a hidden gem in Hartsel if you ever get that way. Zuccaro’s.
Oh, my goodness, that video did my heart good! Those are my favorite rides and right out my backdoor, too!

That is one of the lesser known routes that I have yet to explore! Adding the yacht club to this list of places to try, though!!! Thank you!
G'day from Australia
Looks amazing!
Selfie stick on Independence Pass made my heart race for some reason. Loved the video start to finish, keep doing what you do!
More like selfie hand! I’m glad it was entertaining for ya! Hahaha
That food looked amazing. Now I want to try that pizza.
It’s a great pizza spot! 😊
the important thing is to keep up the enthusiasm, I always pray that I will be healthy, always happy, stay focused with positive thinking that is done every day, is running now good job solo travel Highlight Ride To Food
Thanks!
Thank you for the video. I really need to get out more.
One of these days we’ll get to Colorado. Even as full time RVers, we never got there. Nice video, thank you 😊
It's there when y'all are ready! :) And you'll love it!! Thanks for watching!!
Road Aspen to Leadville last Sept. on my way to SD. Loved CO so much during the “leaf peepin’” I’m headed back next Sept for more and to ride the MDH. Loved watching this, broght back great memories.
Awesome!! The MDH is glorious that time of year. You’ll have so much fun! 😊
Excellent scooter ! Love your spirit for adventure and exploring !
Beautiful! Pizza looked delish!! I’d smash the whole thing and then nap. 😂
Hahaha you’d need a nap for sure! It was YUGE!
Beautiful country, great video and....nice bike! Love the color!! Stay safe!
Thank you 😊
The other good thing about those dehydrated dinners is they make you constipated so you don’t have to do the dirt business much while traveling. Obviously not good if you’re going for a few days, but pretty good for overnighted.
Unless you have coffee first thing in the morning like I do….then you’re prairie dogging til you handle business 🤣
@@ridetofood Yeah, I skip it when camping. It’s dehydrating too.
Great video! It is so beautiful there. I liked the nighttime scene outside of the tent with the moving stars. I wouldn't have minded seeing a little more of that scene. I appreciate your channel!
Yeah, didn’t Timelapse long enough. can’t really fix that in post 🤣
Absolutely gorgeous! Always great videos that put more places on my ride list. TY & blessings on the road!
Thank you 😊
❤❤❤🎉 saludos desde México me encantan tus videos
Thank you!
Independence pass is the best pass in CO!!
Agreed!!! 🙌
Another great vid...I was planning on getting chicken but now I want pizza. LOL

Been to Quincy's many times!
Awesome views and that pizza looked pretty damn good too…
It's a great spot to try if you ever make it to Leadville! :)
