 Great shot everybody. Great shot. Was that a great shot? What do you think? What are we gotten ourselves into? You know what we've gotten ourselves into? The best seven-day adventure in the history of the world I haven't even done it yet, and I know it's gonna be amazing and before any big ride We got to do this little chant it wards off all evil spirits, and it goes a little something like this Riding about 30 minutes and the views already are just blowing us away. This is absolutely incredible I can't tell for sure, but I think this bee over here is taking a nap in this flower And it is very cute. That's where I would take a nap if I were a bee Now we get to go down this That was a fun downhill, but my hands ache. How are your hands doing? Aha, so many rocks. Who put all the rocks on this trail? Oh, this is gonna be so cozy This is our turn off I'm really liking this. It may be very difficult But it's getting us to some beautiful places way out of the way. We are not seeing any humans out here at all This is the last hill for sure Guaranteed last hill It's never the last hill I thought I was gonna go to the hut and start making dinner, but there's just too much Excitement going on out here and by excitement I mean this sunset. Look at this Yeah The huts are great and all but This is the true treat of being out here in the colorado backcountry It's easy to get caught up in the western world about Just accumulating things like the more money you have the more things you can buy the more happiness, right? And I'm not so sure that's true. I certainly have some things that bring me happiness like my bicycle Brings me a lot of happiness, but these are my things right here these mountains these trips This freedom these trees Whoo, these are my things And I love it and I'm so very grateful so very grateful to be here right now I was also feeling grateful grateful that it's a Wednesday And grateful that I got to be out here for seven days Disconnected living outside of the pattern of my normal life. I feel so blessed Whoo see the smile on my face Wonderful day Matthew wonderful day wonderful day Look at that wonderful sunset. Yeah Thank you mother nature for another beautiful day on planet earth. Let's do it again tomorrow. Wow Really enjoying this quiet I'm really enjoying waking up and not looking at my phone right away and just being kind of disconnected Disconnected from like technology, but very connected To the natural world to mother nature And that makes me very happy. I think it's good for the soul to To be this close to it all Happy thursday happy happy thursday happy thursday happy happy happy. Hey, I told you I love the desert I love the desert. So chef matt, what do we have tonight tonight? We have bean burrito especial Good morning, Matthew. You want to ride bikes today? Hell. Yes. I want to ride bikes today Hello shadow It's really impressive There are no easy days, which I kind of like You have to earn every day That is so cool. This is a little sketchy here. Did we take a wrong turn? This trail is scary to walk our bikes down But look where we get to go very soon That way It looks It was built in 1881 And it was considered at one time the longest running general store in the state of colorado since 1885 My mantra is like you got to believe it to achieve it You have to visualize to realize and your consciousness Will manifest Whatever you're thinking if it's good or bad or indifferent. That's what you're going to manifest If you think it's going to be a bag of crap, it'll be a big bag of crap I feel kind of bad We just made those cowboys jobs a lot tougher They're doing a cattle drive and all the cows were Heading down the road like a bunch of obedient cows and then we came along and sent them all flying I don't get me wrong. I love my bike But I always feel a little bit more connected to nature when I'm just walking around my own two feet This is so beautiful. I have not seen an aspen grove like this Going off in a long time and I love it. I love the smell of the leaves on the ground It's time to go out brave the cold one last day. We got this What's fun is that in not too long We're going to be down in the desert On plateaus red rocks. We're not even close to being done with the trail. Look how far we've come Those are the lasal mountains up there We are steps away from the parking lot, which means We are pretty much done with this San Juan hut tour adventure from Durango to Moab. Oh my god What an adventure. What an adventure starting in the high alpine and in here Yeah, now it's time to hitchhike home My friends, how's it going? I really hope you enjoyed that. There was so much beauty over those seven days It was kind of hard to choose what to pack into those 14 minutes, so I appreciate you Watching it and if you want to see more, I made an entire series. I will link that down here I'd like to send out a huge thanks to the San Juan hut systems They have all these cool routes all over the colorado backcountry for skiing and hiking and my favorite Biking I will link them down there as well. Thank you to gates They're the ones that lent us these awesome bikes with the carbon belt drives It's not a normal chain. If you look closely, it's a carbon belt drive.
