Appreciate all kind comments! Despite my tears, I had an absolute blast and so fortunate Ryan helped guide me through it. I’m a crier - “crushing and crying” should probably the title of my memoir 😂
Wow! I thought the crying before the downhill was kind of a joke to add some drama/ humor to the video. Kudos to you for finishing the ride and facing those fears head on! I’m buying the “Crushing and Crying” memoir no doubt! Lol
I just found Ryan's channel So I don't know his full menu or agenda. For you to take on that ride as one of your first - is epic. I hope you're able to get on the saddle soon.. You're a Crusher !! Ryan is a funny man. New montra No Flatty's, No crashies, No sore Assies...
This one cracks me up. So many points where Ryan realizes this was a bad idea. Kudos to Amelia for dealing with it like a champ. You see the full range of the competitive athlete mentality.
I was thinking the same thing. 75 to 100 miles (RAGBRAI) on smooth pavement is one thing and hard enough. 100 miles in dirt going up and down mountains would be death for me. It is one heck of an accomplishment for Amelia being new to that kind of cycling. Her never quit mentality was an inspiration.
@@HackHunter1835 i tried a 100 mile mtb race once, and it did not go well. I just rode a little under 2 hours on a backcountry trail last week and I was cooked.
@@Chris-pw7ov I hear ya. I hate riding in dirt. (sand) Laid the bike down a few times on backwoods trails. I had enough of that. I dont mind climbing paved hills, but watching Ryan and Amelia do that ALL day gave chest pains.
I have done the White Rim 3 times now, but as 3 day 2 night or 4 day 3 night just for fun and beers at night. That said, every trip, I have seen folks riding it as a day trip. It's doable for sure, fitness and prep being key.
This one should be called “how to lose a great girl in one century”. Ryan is an adventure biker rockstar but Amelia is a true stud to charge that ride. Great job, you two! I hope you had some fun on that one!
Met Ryan the other day at the skate park. He was personable, and treated this noob as if he was just another rider. Dude’s a total stud, but acts like a normal person. Kudos.
Type 2 fun = sucks while it's happening, great memories when you think back. You are such a trooper, Amelia. I've been riding bikes for 10 years and wouldn't dare attempt this in one day. Ryan always pushing limits. What a way to live life. I hope you two grow old together..it would make for the most epic of journeys.
Hopefully Amelia had some shorter rides in preparation for this epic adventure.....some 25 milers, some 40 milers, some 60 milers. Hopefully she has not been soured on doing something like this again. What a beautiful landscape! Thanks for sharing! Thank you, Ryan. And especially thank you, Amelia for being such a trooper. Watching Ryan is how I found the Priority 600X. I've had mine for a year and a half. Love it every time I'm in the saddle. Be well.
This brings back memories of my first lap on White Rim 20 years ago on a cheap Gary Fisher mountain bike. I did it in a day, solo and carried 5 liters of water and still ran out with 25 miles to go. Fortunately, some campers showed mercy and tanked me up. Last year, I went again, but camped 3 nights and took it slow to enjoy it. Great vid!
Sand is tough! Engaging in one's fears without the option to run away is tough! So proud of you two-this is a big relationship gateway you just (biked) through.
Well,…… that was awesome! Really loving the Ryan +Amelia Van Booner combo! You two are fun to watch together and we hope this becomes a “Priority” 😊 👍👍 Ryan on the edit and Amelia for hanging in there! Inspiration plus!
This was amazing to watch both of you achieve this ride. Congratulations to Amelia for overcoming the pain and stress of your ride. You are an inspiration for women to follow. Thank you Ryan for sharing your adventures. May you both always find within yourselves what truly matters in life and share many years of happiness together.😇
I rode this route over 4 days and 3 nights with a group. We had a permit for camping. The permits make sense, because it gives each group a lot of privacy and quiet. While the riding is fun, the camping was even better. It is so quiet at night and the stars were unbelievable. I think they missed the point. You can go ride 100 miles on dirt roads anytime. The White Rim is a very special experience at night.
Both of y'all crushed it! Way to stick with it like champs!! Amelia, fantastic work! Around the 70 mile mark, I think we could all feel the change in your attitude for a bit but you bounced back and finished with a giant smile after all the challenges. You both are definitely inspiring. I'm getting closer and closer to getting myself one of those sweet Priority 600X's. ;)
Thank you, thank you, thank you Amelia for sharing your vulnerability. It encourages me more than you know. Because of Ryan's videos, my husband and I started riding together a couple of years ago, finding that touring is what we like to share (I have found that I am not a huge fan of MTB). My heart felt your tears for I have been there, finding my breaking points. I am not as fit or as young as you and Ryan are. So to see a healthy, active strong young woman that you are, hitting your wall, I am encouraged. I will not be riding the White Rim any time soon (if ever). But Ragbrai, STP and a coast to coast are on our lists. I have yet to do a century ride, 65 is my longest day. That is my next goal. Thanks Ryan for your videos!
Great video and well done to you both, especially Amelia. I know she's an athlete already, but 100miles off road after only a few months riding. Amazing.
I'm relatively new to this channel but have been watching a lot of your videos. On lunch breaks or weekends when I'm not too busy. You're living my dream life. You're so lucky also to have found someone who shares your passion in life. Love your videos bro. Can't wait for my vacation days so I can get out there and make some of my own
Ryan and Amelia's excellant adventure!! For a newbie mtn bike rider she held her own even when she knew she had to work through a fear of heights but she aced it way to go Amelia!! The views were incredible! :) :)
Watched all the way to the end because I know what it’s like to be on a Moab trail when the sun goes down. For me it was a little scary, but I was less well prepared (only dark glasses and no headlights) but I felt you edited out the 3 hours of really tough going in the sand after dark. It must have been very, very difficult. Gutsy ride. Thanks for letting us share it with you.
Thanks Stan for watching the entire video…I actually didn’t film much after dark, mainly because I wanted to focus on the task at hand and make sure that Amelia felt comfortable.
That's hilarious! I remember dropping off the shuttle vehicle at Mineral Bottom before our 70 mile Green River paddle, seeing the mountain bikers riding up and saying, "Wouldn't want to do that on a bike." hahaha
I'm with you, absolutely beautiful area and so worth the reasonable drive from the Front Range...but I'd have to say hiking around Escalante/Grand Staircase tops it.
Amelia a fear of heights is something you can get past simply by doing what you did, and not letting it hold you back. I'm 62 and was an aircraft mechanic with Delta Airlines for 32 years, which required being able to work up high, but when I was a kid even 12 years old, had a really difficult time jumping down even six feet. You're a trooper and a beautiful lady. I'd never heard of you before watching Ryan's video, and so looked you up....... My God what a life of accomplishments you're living..... I'm blown away ! You're a stunner and an inspiration. The world is a much better place with you here. God Bless and keep you safe in your adventures, Amelia Admiringly, Greg
I feel you, Amelia! Those cliffs and drop offs are breathtaking and dizzying. That is some challenging terrain whether you hike, run, or bike. Awesome effort!!!!
Fabulous ride along, thanks. The 100% always positiveness from both of you, especially from Amelia saying she loved sand while completely whooped is a mind-binder of unequal quality and character 💪. 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hope Amelia found her car keys! Also, what an adventure she just went on. Can't imagine riding 100 miles any time, but that trail... Shows her incredible athleticism. Thanks for sharing the good and the challenging, Ryan. Keeping it real as always.
Wow! Way to go guys! Way to go Amelia! Great job to the both of you! My wife and I just took a 4 day guided trip on the White Rim two weeks ago, we just missed you guys. Such a beautiful and amazing place especially in October! The Sand was so challenging, nothing like pedaling to go down hill, LOL. Thanks so much for the video and great job as always on your content and the way you bring the rides to life. Blessings to you both!
What I love about this video is the reality that Amelia brought to the difficulty of the ride. You both are amazing and Ryan you supported her so well. Great job to both of you!! ❤❤🎉🎉🎃🎃
Kudos, Amelia! I felt it when you said you bit more than you can chew because I have done quite a lot cycling local routes. It is worth it in the end though. And Ryan the man! Your positivity is insane! 👏👏👏
Think this is my second time watching you do the White Rim ride. Amazing photos and ride. Congrats to Amelia for toughing it out! Pretty sure I'd need a ride out in a jeep.
I love seeing the the White rim trail. I live in the great white north , and now in my seventies I'll probably never see it in person so video's like this are great. I live in a completely different enviornment and the SW has always intrigued me BUT the most impressive thing about this video is how Amelia did this trail , facing her fears, not having allot of experience, and pushed through. Good job. Thanks as always Ryan for the great video's. I was out yesterday, maybe the last ride before snow, time to put the studded tires on.
What an incredible person, what a beast of an athlete, Amelia. One sees her pain and fatigue written all over her face yet she pushes through. Amazing.
Wow! Beautiful location. And, double wow that Amelia was struggling. She was top of the food chain in OCR! This lady knows what it takes for endurance sports.
Congratulations Ryan and Amelia! This is an amazing video and truly an awesome accomplish to ride the 100 mile White Rim Trail in a single day. Love your positive attitudes to the end with a lapst now and then in the sand and on the hills. Best wishes for a fantastic Fall and Winter season.
Way to go Amelia, hahahaha I get a little tearful when I get over tired too. Ryan this was an amazing video I loved the scenery and cant wait to ride it myself...as always Thanks ❤
Yay Ameila! Awsome video Ryan! Favorite place! Favorite Girl! How much better does it get! The more you do it the easier it gets! Overcoming fear is growth! Great Job Amelia! Amelia should challenge you to some event that she's great at!
I remember seeing Amelia at Spartan Races back in the day. She's a Beast and the Golden Gal of OCR, then injuries. Great to see her in the video. Great Video Ryan!!
Hace 25 años vine a Moab desde Barcelona enamorado de una chica tan fantástica como Amelia. Hubiera sido genial hacer esta ruta con ella.100 millas solos es tiempo suficiente para saber si tenéis que continuar juntos, espero que sí. Gracias por las vistas y el paisaje. Genial viaje !!!.
That was EPIC - Amelia, you crushed it - same height phobia (or falling to death phobia) - but you did it! And amazing video footage as always Ryan. Still both smiling and loving life at the end (omg, is that the CAR 😁😁) Well done Team xx
Nice job Amelia! By the way, Ryan, a college girlfriend of mine almost fell off of the White Rim at the overlook where you guys yelled for the echo. In the process she tripped and broke our camera, but she (fortunately) didn’t go off the edge. So, for what if’s worth, Amelia’s fear of the edge wasn’t entirely unfounded! Like you, that area is one of my favorite places in the world, and I’m glad it’s only a half day drive for those of us who live in the Denver area!
Awesome you two. I've done some of this on my motorcycle, I've done a few century bicycle rides, But 100 miles by bike in Canyon Lands in one day, WOW ! Thanks for sharing I enjoyed watching.
Was so waiting for a vid like this! Love the dynamic of you two! Ryan, have you ever thought of filming a workout or event more in Amelia’s genre? that would be amazing too!
Wow awesome video. I am sure many of us at one time or another, have pushed through a physical ordeal once or many times. You are correct that you do bond with the person that you do it with. Helping and encouraging one another is the best way to get through. Pushing the weaker ( like the saddle or carry extra weight) person in times of weakness is the way to go. You should both finish totally spent the same amount! Four liters of water was far less than you should have had, you were fortunate to be given some! As my wifey says a little danger is ok as long as it all works out. Keep riding.
Thanks for your videos and positive energy. Just started watching with my wife and we love them. Have adventured for many a year since now 62 and hope to keep going. Lived most of life in co springs but looking to change the pace by moving up to boulder county most likely. Will miss scenery of the springs and great mountain access but ready for a change since nearing retirement. Anyway great videos and keep it up.
I maintained the vault toilets on the White Rim for a couple of years and drove it hundreds of times. Great video, it's been a few years since I was there so this brought back a lot of memories.
My friend is from Utah! She told me about the off-road trails. Thanks for sharing this ride with us 😁 the areal view gives a great perspective brother 👍.
Man, you really are living the life. Just hop on over to ride the White Rim in a day. How cool is that? Thank you for yet another great video! "They had a rainy summer or something..." Yeah, Ryan, Moab had epic flooding this fall. Main St. (or nearby, wasn't there) was a river! Mill Cr. did some serious damage. 15:20: "Don't go in the rut! Don't go in the rut! DARN IT!!!" (goes into the rut) - target fixation!!! Surprised Amelia didn't opt for the chamois creme at the start to stave off saddle discomfort as long as possible. Would have been a good idea. Hitting Murphy's Hogback at mile 67 does make for a bit of a challenge!!! But wow, Amelia is quite the sport! 14.5 hours. Amazing. Nice job to you both, but especially Amelia 👍!
Oh good on the chamois cream. And it's true, nothing replaces saddle time. Gotta tone the correct muscles for support. But you made it!!! Man, I'm amazed that four months in on a bike and you do the White Rim in a day. Sheesh, let's just shame us all! Been mountain biking since '84 and I still haven't attempted THAT! Did ride it multi-day in the mid 90's with Rim Tours and had a blast. Oh and I'm with you Ryan - Moab is my favorite place in the world! First went in '92, then watched "Thelma & Louise" and that was it! Fave movie, fave place. Been 15 or 16 times and still can't get enough (but last trip was '16, so it's time). Gotta get back there!!!
Oh Ryan, taking Amelia on a one day WR her first year of biking?? I’ve been riding one day WR for 30 years now and always rode down Shaffer until I finally tried counter clockwise and finishing going up Schaffer and wow, I like it much better. Huge kudos to Amelia!!
20 years ago I worked for the NPS at Canyonlands and Arches. 2 weekends ago, I took my family of 5 to see it all for the first time. Really cool to think: when I told my 10, 6, and 5 yo that they could bike the white rim trail someday if they wanted to, we might have been pointing at you.
Sweet Amelia, what a trooper! Great job! I absolutely know how it feels to push yourself to the limit and keep on going. I am thinking of getting a 600x and would love to hear what you think of it, especially pushing it up some of those steep grades. I've ridden (and raced) mountain bikes for years, but this day would have been epic for me as well. I am looking forward to seeing you on more of Ryan's rides! - Jo
@@duzer I apologize. I should have clarified. I have watched all the reviews, but my question is, I am a petite woman, 5'2", 120 lbs., and I was wondering if the 600x is going to be too big/heavy for me. I have only ridden super light mountain bikes. I don't know if I'll get to bikepack, but I will ride the 600x on local trails (Phoenix , AZ area, Hawes network, where I learned to ride). Thanks so much for any advice, and especially thank you for all the wonderful videos of your adventures that I have enjoyed very much!!
Let's hear it for Amelia on her FIRST 100 MILE MOUNTAIN BIKE RIDE!
MTB is the best thing in this world 👍
Epic!
Way to go!
LOVE YOU!
Amelia you were epic on this ride! Doing 100 on flat road is tough enough, but to do your first 100 off-road is amazing. Huge props!!
Appreciate all kind comments! Despite my tears, I had an absolute blast and so fortunate Ryan helped guide me through it. I’m a crier - “crushing and crying” should probably the title of my memoir 😂
Wow! I thought the crying before the downhill was kind of a joke to add some drama/ humor to the video. Kudos to you for finishing the ride and facing those fears head on!
I’m buying the “Crushing and Crying” memoir no doubt! Lol
I just found Ryan's channel So I don't know his full menu or agenda. For you to take on that ride as one of your first - is epic. I hope you're able to get on the saddle soon.. You're a Crusher !!
Ryan is a funny man.
New montra
No Flatty's, No crashies, No sore Assies...
Keep inspiring amiga!
You did amazing
Wow, 100 miles in one day 😮. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 and exactly, just because Ryan does it. Doesn’t mean it’s easy. Great job on finishing the trail.
This one cracks me up. So many points where Ryan realizes this was a bad idea. Kudos to Amelia for dealing with it like a champ. You see the full range of the competitive athlete mentality.

I have done the White Rim 3 times now, but as 3 day 2 night or 4 day 3 night just for fun and beers at night. That said, every trip, I have seen folks riding it as a day trip. It's doable for sure, fitness and prep being key.
This one should be called “how to lose a great girl in one century”. Ryan is an adventure biker rockstar but Amelia is a true stud to charge that ride. Great job, you two! I hope you had some fun on that one!
Haha!! I like that title :)
😂😂😂 thank you!!
Amelia "this is what sane people do" Too funny. Love it that Amelia's glasses and helmet match. Too cute.
Man Ryan, you are blessed to have found Amelia! What a jewel! All the best you two!
Met Ryan the other day at the skate park. He was personable, and treated this noob as if he was just another rider. Dude’s a total stud, but acts like a normal person. Kudos.
My man!! Meeting you yesterday was the highlight of my day. I hope to see you again at Valmont.

Ryan always pushing limits. What a way to live life. I hope you two grow old together..it would make for the most epic of journeys.
Thats type B lol
@@sebastianwhalin743 Nah. Type B is when it sucked and when you think back you'd never do something like it again.
@@sebastianwhalin743 You both are wrong, its Type 2 fun😀
@@cmcjvcltcbmc hah. I think you’re right. I’ll edit.
Thanks, I hope so too! Ryan is an incredible athlete and I saw that when I was hurting pretty bad 🤣
Hopefully Amelia had some shorter rides in preparation for this epic adventure.....some 25 milers, some 40 milers, some 60 milers. Hopefully she has not been soured on doing something like this again. What a beautiful landscape! Thanks for sharing! Thank you, Ryan. And especially thank you, Amelia for being such a trooper.

Sand is tough! Engaging in one's fears without the option to run away is tough! So proud of you two-this is a big relationship gateway you just (biked) through.
It was a day for growth on many levels for both of us
Well,…… that was awesome! Really loving the Ryan +Amelia Van Booner combo! You two are fun to watch together and we hope this becomes a “Priority” 😊 👍👍 Ryan on the edit and Amelia for hanging in there! Inspiration plus!
I like the way you think! :)
The sound of that bell goes to the middle of my head...so epic...thank you for sharing this with the world!
I agree, it has a nice sound
That bell is dope. I Googled it - now I see how it can be a Bday present. That's nuts. That thing needs its own lock.
This was amazing to watch both of you achieve this ride. Congratulations to Amelia for overcoming the pain and stress of your ride. You are an inspiration for women to follow. Thank you Ryan for sharing your adventures. May you both always find within yourselves what truly matters in life and share many years of happiness together.😇
Thank you, Ms Marie
Excellent video footage of your epic mountain biking adventures!
I rode this route over 4 days and 3 nights with a group. We had a permit for camping. The permits make sense, because it gives each group a lot of privacy and quiet. While the riding is fun, the camping was even better. It is so quiet at night and the stars were unbelievable. I think they missed the point. You can go ride 100 miles on dirt roads anytime.

I’m a fairly new biker as well and she has given me courage! I love her positive attitude. Thanks for sharing.
Both of y'all crushed it! Way to stick with it like champs!! Amelia, fantastic work! Around the 70 mile mark, I think we could all feel the change in your attitude for a bit but you bounced back and finished with a giant smile after all the challenges. You both are definitely inspiring. I'm getting closer and closer to getting myself one of those sweet Priority 600X's. ;)
It was a rollercoaster of a day, and although finishing in the night wasn’t planned, it was a highlight.
Thank you! I’ve done enough long stuff to know emotions come in waves out there - a high will follow the low!

I did this ride in April as a guided 4 day trip. Having someone carrying the supplies and having time each day to hike and explore is my tip!
That sounds dreamy! Will have to do that someday
Awesome vid and brings back such great memories of riding WR with my wife in 2016!
What an incredible person, what a beast of an athlete, Amelia. One sees her pain and fatigue written all over her face yet she pushes through. Amazing.

Good Morning Ryan. Excited to chill and watch your show.
Hope you enjoy it

Amelia you’re a badass. Officially impressed. Hope to see you both on ragbrai next year
Awesome, epic ride! Ryan you are the eternal encourager! Amelia- you are so fun, athletic and so nice , keep smiling - you ROCKED the ride!!!🥰🥰🥰❤️✅
You guys Rocked It!!! Well done Amelia, that’s an incredible Grit!!! 💪🔥🔥🔥
Way to go Amelia, hahahaha I get a little tearful when I get over tired too. Ryan this was an amazing video I loved the scenery and cant wait to ride it myself...as always Thanks ❤
Criers of the world unite!!
I'm glad you found someone to share your adventures with
Fabulous! Been wanting to do the White Rim forever. Couldn’t do it in a day tho… love the film, the chemistry, the struggle. You two make me smile!
I hope that you get to experience it someday!
Yay Ameila! Awsome video Ryan! Favorite place! Favorite Girl! How much better does it get! The more you do it the easier it gets! Overcoming fear is growth! Great Job Amelia! Amelia should challenge you to some event that she's great at!
And don't forget my favorite bean burritos!
Great video and well done Amelia! That’s some type two fun right there! 👍🏻👍🏻
I remember seeing Amelia at Spartan Races back in the day. She's a Beast and the Golden Gal of OCR, then injuries. Great to see her in the video. Great Video Ryan!!
I didn't know her back then, but I've heard stories. She is indeed a beast!
Congrats to both of you and I think Amelia should be very proud of her accomplishment. Awesome trip for sure!!!
Hace 25 años vine a Moab desde Barcelona enamorado de una chica tan fantástica como Amelia. Hubiera sido genial hacer esta ruta con ella.100 millas solos es tiempo suficiente para saber si tenéis que continuar juntos, espero que sí. Gracias por las vistas y el paisaje. Genial viaje !!!.
Canyonlands is stupid beautiful and those drops/views are huge and dreamy. Looked like an amazing ride.
It’s soooo stupidly beautiful 😂
Great day out Ryan ...and great fortitude Amelia!
Great video and write up and how cool to be able to share with someone.
It was such a joy to share this special place with Amelia
That was EPIC - Amelia, you crushed it - same height phobia (or falling to death phobia) - but you did it! And amazing video footage as always Ryan. Still both smiling and loving life at the end (omg, is that the CAR 😁😁) Well done Team xx
I'm proud of Amelia and You for Cheering Her On! ✌️🙏❤️
Amelia
YOU ARE AMAZING AND A WARRIOR…
Ryan Always Treat Amelia like a Queen
😊😊😊😊
Go Amelia, you're the best. Let's go!
Great job Emelia!!! Kudos to you!!! Hope to be seeing you in Ryan's future videos!! Keep up the great biking!!! 🌎🚴
Looks awesome. Good experiences, great memories :) Wish I had such roads in my country
Awesome video Duzer, and Amelia you are awesome keep it up....
Thanks!! We loved the experience
Nice job Amelia! By the way, Ryan, a college girlfriend of mine almost fell off of the White Rim at the overlook where you guys yelled for the echo. In the process she tripped and broke our camera, but she (fortunately) didn’t go off the edge. So, for what if’s worth, Amelia’s fear of the edge wasn’t entirely unfounded!
Like you, that area is one of my favorite places in the world, and I’m glad it’s only a half day drive for those of us who live in the Denver area!
OMG ! Accomplishment!!! Go Amelia! Great work as always Ryan!
Beautiful area…I can totally relate to Amelia’s fear of heights. Another great video Ryan!
Awesome you two. I've done some of this on my motorcycle, I've done a few century bicycle rides, But 100 miles by bike in Canyon Lands in one day, WOW ! Thanks for sharing I enjoyed watching.
Was so waiting for a vid like this! Love the dynamic of you two! Ryan, have you ever thought of filming a workout or event more in Amelia’s genre? that would be amazing too!
Thanks! And yes, I'd love to try an OCR Race someday
Amazing landscape and I love the colour of the sand and the mountains there.
It's a beautiful area!!
Beautiful views! Thanks Ryan and Amelia.
Wow awesome video. I am sure many of us at one time or another, have pushed through a physical ordeal once or many times. You are correct that you do bond with the person that you do it with. Helping and encouraging one another is the best way to get through. Pushing the weaker ( like the saddle or carry extra weight) person in times of weakness is the way to go. You should both finish totally spent the same amount! Four liters of water was far less than you should have had, you were fortunate to be given some! As my wifey says a little danger is ok as long as it all works out. Keep riding.
Amazing. Beautiful. Spectacular. Thank you Ryan. Great job Amelia. I like that title for your memoir. Adventures usually require challenge
Nice job guys! Hoping to do that with my son in the spring as part of Tour Divide training! Keep up the good work.
That would be great training for the GDMBR!
what a beautiful ride
Thank YOU so much for sharing these experiences with all of us!
Thanks for your videos and positive energy. Just started watching with my wife and we love them. Have adventured for many a year since now 62 and hope to keep going. Lived most of life in co springs but looking to change the pace by moving up to boulder county most likely. Will miss scenery of the springs and great mountain access but ready for a change since nearing retirement. Anyway great videos and keep it up.
I maintained the vault toilets on the White Rim for a couple of years and drove it hundreds of times. Great video, it's been a few years since I was there so this brought back a lot of memories.
My friend is from Utah! She told me about the off-road trails. Thanks for sharing this ride with us 😁 the areal view gives a great perspective brother 👍.
Man, you really are living the life. Just hop on over to ride the White Rim in a day. How cool is that? Thank you for yet another great video! "They had a rainy summer or something..." Yeah, Ryan, Moab had epic flooding this fall. Main St. (or nearby, wasn't there) was a river! Mill Cr. did some serious damage.
15:20: "Don't go in the rut! Don't go in the rut! DARN IT!!!" (goes into the rut) - target fixation!!!
Surprised Amelia didn't opt for the chamois creme at the start to stave off saddle discomfort as long as possible. Would have been a good idea.
Hitting Murphy's Hogback at mile 67 does make for a bit of a challenge!!!
But wow, Amelia is quite the sport!
14.5 hours. Amazing. Nice job to you both, but especially Amelia 👍!
Thanks! I did have a LOT of chamois cream going on - butt just wasn’t ready for that roughness 😂
Oh wow, I didn't know about the epic flooding...that makes sense with the terrain now
Oh good on the chamois cream. And it's true, nothing replaces saddle time. Gotta tone the correct muscles for support. But you made it!!!
Man, I'm amazed that four months in on a bike and you do the White Rim in a day. Sheesh, let's just shame us all! Been mountain biking since '84 and I still haven't attempted THAT! Did ride it multi-day in the mid 90's with Rim Tours and had a blast.
Oh and I'm with you Ryan - Moab is my favorite place in the world! First went in '92, then watched "Thelma & Louise" and that was it! Fave movie, fave place. Been 15 or 16 times and still can't get enough (but last trip was '16, so it's time).
Gotta get back there!!!
The beauty rubs off the road and sticks to you
Why yes, we are still cleaning off the red dust 😂
Thanks for being awesome mate
Oh Ryan, taking Amelia on a one day WR her first year of biking?? I’ve been riding one day WR for 30 years now and always rode down Shaffer until I finally tried counter clockwise and finishing going up Schaffer and wow, I like it much better. Huge kudos to Amelia!!
Thank you! Glad he had faith in me 😂
Impressive, very, very impressive!
Stepped up your editing game on this one! Fantastic cuts and music! Love your story telling.
Thanks! I loved putting this one together
20 years ago I worked for the NPS at Canyonlands and Arches. 2 weekends ago, I took my family of 5 to see it all for the first time. Really cool to think: when I told my 10, 6, and 5 yo that they could bike the white rim trail someday if they wanted to, we might have been pointing at you.
You did such a great job editing this one and you both look great out there
Thanks! I really enjoyed putting this video together.
Sweet Amelia, what a trooper! Great job! I absolutely know how it feels to push yourself to the limit and keep on going. I am thinking of getting a 600x and would love to hear what you think of it, especially pushing it up some of those steep grades. I've ridden (and raced) mountain bikes for years, but this day would have been epic for me as well. I am looking forward to seeing you on more of Ryan's rides! - Jo
I’ve made a few in depth review videos about the 600x. Look em up on my channel
@@duzer I apologize. I should have clarified. I have watched all the reviews, but my question is, I am a petite woman, 5'2", 120 lbs., and I was wondering if the 600x is going to be too big/heavy for me. I have only ridden super light mountain bikes. I don't know if I'll get to bikepack, but I will ride the 600x on local trails (Phoenix , AZ area, Hawes network, where I learned to ride). Thanks so much for any advice, and especially thank you for all the wonderful videos of your adventures that I have enjoyed very much!!
