Nick gets his revenge on Georgia Pass.
In 2021, four roadies attempted to ride the Colorado Trail with van support. After seven long, miserable days, we had to pull the plug in Silverton exhausted and devastated. Three of us returned in 2023 with improved mountain bike and bikepacking skills to attempt the trail again, this time choosing to bikepack unsupported. This is our revenge trip.
The Colorado Trail bikepacking route goes from Denver to Durango and includes 539 miles, 72,500 ft of climbing, and an average elevation over 10,000 ft. The high point is 13,270 ft and is part of a 20 mile section of trail that does not drop below 12,000 ft a single time. Bikepacking.com rates the difficulty as a 9.
Despite the rugged terrain, altitude, remoteness, and logistical difficulties, the views and experiences along the way make for an truly memorable trip.

Me Casa has awesome food!! Fantastic videos Zak! 🤩
Thank you, Mark! We always used to go to Mi Casa on ski trips. During our 2021 attempt, I was looking forward to eating there all day, but we took so long that we didn't get into Breckenridge until about 11pm and it was closed. This time things went much more according to plan!
These are awesome videos so far! Cant wait to see the rest
Just wait til we get to day 7-8!
Didn't realize bananaman was a cinematographer too!
He's working on his apprenticeship! We have something special for you on the final day.
Hey what month did you go in 2021. My buddy and I went on the 17th of July and met some guys that were being supported by a van. My buddy (also a roady) had a rough go due to not buying a mountain bike until 2 months before we left.
July 23 - August 2 was our 2021 attempt. Denver to Durango route and made it it Silverton before having to bail.
Ok we started about 7 days before you so that must have been another group I saw. Did you see the guys with the donkeys?
@@oatfieldwhitney7552 hmm, I don't recall seeing donkeys...
