    THERE IS NO GIVEAWAY. THERE IS NO PRIZE. MY COMMENTS LOOK LIKE THIS AND HAVE A CHECK MARK. STOP FALLING FOR SCAMS. I WILL NOT REQUIRE YOU TO BUY WALMART GIFT CARDS SO I CAN SEND YOU A BIKE!!

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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....

    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.

    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
