    2 things with Ride Kanuga:
    1) Rent an ebike, you'll have WAY more fun since you can get in 2-3 times more laps.
    2) Ride Evergreen. It's a green trail but it's SICK. My average speed for the whole descent is normally over 20 mph, I usually get up to around 27+ mph in some spots.

    hello Duke of MTB just wanted to ask you some questions, i am probably going to start my own youtube channel on mountain biking. I recently found the hobby/sport and fell in love with it but the problem is I went to stony yesterday and everything was iced over is there anywhere in Michigan that is not iced over that i could make content on, also I have a go pro hero 5 session is that good enough. And I was wondering if you use a gopro, and if so do you colour grade your images so they look better. thank you for taking the time to read this, you, cbyr, and bkxc are my biggest inspirations and I hope one day i can ride with you as a friend.

    • @dukeofmtb
      @dukeofmtb  3 года назад

      I don't think there's anywhere to ride right now except for fat bikes. You could try Ray's in Ohio though.
      And yes, I use a GoPro and color grade to make it a little more appealing on the eyes.

      I think this was in October. From the bottom of Tortuga, maybe 15 - 20 minutes to the peak and only a minute back to the top of Tortuga. By the end of the day, most people just do laps on Tortuga.
