This morning we woke up from our 9300 foot mountain camp east of Steamboat Springs and headed back to town for gas, breakfast and water. We ate outside at a little restaurant. From there we took a series of scenic backcountry roads and eventually made it to Wyoming. Some of Those roads were extremely muddy,…

Not a ton to write about on this one. After we broke down camp we loaded up the bikes and headed north. Highlights of the day included visiting Breckenridge, Steamboat Springs, and coming out of the mountains and seeing the Colorado River. The windy roads through the backcountry are just amazing. one of our trails…

This morning we woke up, fired up some coffee, broke down camp, loaded the bikes and departed camp. It was 45 degrees so we both used our grip warmers. After traveling north on the trail system for a bit we came upon a old gravesite in the middle of nowhere. Of course we stopped and…

This morning we woke up and headed back to Chama to get gas and water. After we filled up, we lowered our tire pressure knowing the trails were wet from recent storms and we were going to hit rock trails after that. From there we had some great valley and mountain trail riding. It wasn’t…

Today was a little different than normal because my bike needed some repairs and that was an adventure all to itself. We got up early, packed up the bikes and left the hotel around 6:30. We had to take the highway from Chama to Pagosa Springs. Remember, it’s dark, I don’t have a back brake…

We started the day just east of Cuba, NM at Clear Creek Campground. Today was rough on the bikes and on us. We had two red sections (if you ski or snowboard it’s the equivalent of a black diamond) around the Santa Fe National Forest. Actually, if I remember correctly (it’s all a blur) one…

Today was a really great day of riding. We started off by heading back to Grants for gas, water and an air pressure gauge. From there we got on the trails. We had steep rock road mountain passes, single track prairie, long stretches of sand and muddy trails. The highlight of the day was coming…

It’s 9:23 pm and I’m sitting in a tent writing all this up. Going to be one big paragraph with pics at the end. Will add all pics later. Horrible signal. We took our time leaving the Pie Town RV Park probably because we were so tired from being up the bulk of the night.…

I had a post all ready to go last night, but it didn’t save properly so let’s try this again. We started the day at the hotel in Columbus, NM. Took our time loading up the bikes, grabbed some protein bars, coffee, filled our water bladders and headed 3 miles south to the Mexican border.…

This afternoon we rode out of El Paso and headed to Columbus, NM for the night. We didn’t have a ramp to get the bikes out so we drove to the back of a hotel in El Paso and used their rock landscaping to assist. Even got all our gear on and luggage loaded there.…
