It’s a flower’s world, and we’re just living in it! Our stunning two-day, one-night journey across Segments 22 and 23 of the Colorado Trail was highlighted by perfect weather and jaw dropping views, and just about every flower that could bloom above 12,000 feet was out in full force to soak up the warmth of the sun.

A shot from the climb of Zeinisjoch, a brutally steep climb on loaded bikes! We’re currently taking a break from the southern hemisphere winter with a sunny tour through some of Central Europe.

Spent the past weekend rolling the Vapor Trail with my partner. Stunning views, endless hike-a-bikes, and some of the best singletrack we have ever ridden. A particularly heinous thunder/hail storm at Monarch Pass forced a road re-route back into town rather than finishing up the final singletrack leg. Nonetheless, it was such a phenomenal time.
