I remember riding a similar route about 7 years ago! We started at Aspen and rode through to Crested Butte. This video is making me want to plan another trip out there!

I crossed pearl pass into crested Butte there I descended into keebler pass on novara road bike front back panniers and a backpack equipped with water bag. I knew there would be lots of river crossing and creeks were I could stop for refills told myself I wouldn't do this climb again. This year I plan to return and do it all over again ;)

Looks great from the vantage point of hot and smoky SoCal.

It was real nice in August , now I assume there’s a bit of snow up there. Stay safe!

Check the vid out at 5:05 and look at the front brake line and how it's nearly at a 90 degree bend against the handle bar pack.

Yep, you are right. I’m typically pretty good about avoiding that. For folks wondering, this is not good thing for your brake line, but it’s also avoidable with the pronghorn and most other bags. Thanks Bruce2keys!

@@BIKEPACKINGcom Sorry wasn't trying to be negative, it just caught my eye. Great ride, I enjoyed watching ! Thinking of doing this ride for the summer of 2021 with some tenkara fishing for added fun. Thanks for sharing the vid !

@@BIKEPACKINGcom Do you have any posts on this (and other things to watch for when setting up bags)? Did my first few trips last year and was wondering what to do with cables. (Shock adjustments is another area). Thanks!

Epic route. It would appear this man has some fitness.

So thanks to you I'll have to drive out instead of flying to Colorado next trip. No way am I leaving my bikes in North Carolina. To get on some plane.

Where did you pack all your gear?

Great video! Where do you fit all that gear on your bike?

@BIKEPACKINGcom 3 жыл бұрын

I packed pretty light, but I also had a backpack. I'll do a video on bikepacking set-up with a full suspension bike hopefully soon.

What camera did you use for this video?

@robertbotta6536 3 жыл бұрын

Great video. Thanks. Hey, what weight rod would you bring?

@BIKEPACKINGcom 3 жыл бұрын

3-5 weight, small trout but the further you get down the valley the more versatility 5 weight is, just be aware of private land. 3/4 weight is all you would need for Taylor Lake, just make sure to get your CO fishing licenses before hand.
