Riding the Edge: A Hill Climb Battle in Gould Colorado

This is the Teller Divide Trail in Gould Colorado. This place is littered with trails and has a little bit for everybody. This particular segment features a rocky hill climb that extends for several miles. My 2024 GasGas EC300 did amazing on this steep section of trail. In fact, I'll even venture to say that this is where that bike is most at home. The low end power delivery is unmatched and has certainly exceeded that of my previous bike, the GasGas EX350F.
The OHV trails that exist here give way to some of the most scenic back drops, that are hard to ignore. At times I felt conflicted...Should I stop here and have a look or should I just keep on the throttle and press on? I think next time I'll do more looking around and picture taking.
On this trip, for the very first time, I got to play with the new map switch that I purchase at Elite Motorsports in Loveland Co.

This map switch allows you to toggle between HOT and MILD map settings. I will say that the difference is not extensive and couldn't really feel any change on the mid to high range. Putting it on the green (hot) map was more evident on the hill climbs as my bike had more punch. However, I did on occasion find it advantageous to put it in the mild map when in the muddy or slick areas, just to keep from breaking traction.
