  • From 9,600 ft up to 14,439 ft and back down. One of the sickest and toughest rides we've done. Getting up to summit is no joke and riding back down is gnarly!

  • @rushthezeppelin

    Just did this two weeks so. For those that haven't done it, the top part of descent had some major go pro effect. It's WAY steeper than this video shows.

    This is great. How long did it take going up and then how long to go down? I'd assume you had oxygen in your bags? subbed!

    • @TrailPeek
      @TrailPeek  7 лет назад +8

      No oxygen. 3 1/2 hours up 30 minutes down.

      VECON sports don’t need oxygen but if you aren’t use to high altitudes I would recommend not exerting too much

    Nice. I've done this mountain 3 times on my hardtail.
    The past couple years they've been trying to make it less biker friendly in a few spots. They tried to close down the fast sections at the top and put in these stupid trails that are way too twisty for bikes. So I just ride on the old fast trail.

    • @TrailPeek

    @willbros1499 7 лет назад

    Nice! That trail had a little of everything. I have NO IDEA how you guys could breathe well enough to push to the top from 12K to 14K feet. That HAD to suck. We were witness to the fitness. I think I would have been crying in the first few minutes of riding back down when it looked like you were losing elevation so quickly. The rock section at the 5:00 mark looked like a blast, and then it looked like some good flow in and out of the Aspens. Great recap, and fearless riding as always!

    • @TrailPeek
      @TrailPeek  7 лет назад

      Willbros it was slow going but getting to the top was worth the struggle. Really had a bit of everything on the descent. Top 10 ride for sure.

    • @willbros1499
      @willbros1499 7 лет назад

      Hehe...I know how I felt just walking around at the top of Angel Fire, so hiking a bike up to 14K feet sounds brutal. Where's the air?? :-)

  • @NoBrakes23
    @NoBrakes23 7 лет назад

    At first I was disappointed that y'all didn't ride to the top. Earn your turns, and all that. Then I read the hiking reports from Alltrails and contemplated all the factors of hiking/riding at that altitude. Tunnel vision? Altitude sickness? Damn! That's a serious hike, and I hadn't even considered the idea of getting caught in an electrical storm. Pretty neat accomplishment just getting to the top. Great vid as usual.

    • @TrailPeek
      @TrailPeek  7 лет назад +9

      Yea there's no way you could pedal up all of this. The trail has an average grade of 20%. Super loose and nearly vertical in a few spots. Hiking is tough even without a 30lb bike to carry up! Every step up over 13000 feet takes determination.

    • @cmichael7651
      @cmichael7651 7 лет назад
