 Good morning Mira, why are you staring at me? Buenos dias amigo, how'd you sleep? I woke up at one o'clock ready to ride, so it was too early, went back to bed, woke up at 4.45, heard someone snoring, I thought, alright, I guess I gotta go back to bed. Alright. When I'm pumped, I'm ready to ride today. This my friends is the perfect breakfast wrap. When you burn a ton of calories every day, everything tastes really, really good. I don't think I'd ever eat this at home for breakfast, but out here, I dream about it starting at about 3 in the morning, I'm like, oh yes, I'm gonna eat some Nutella and peanut butter when I wake up. Kevin, did I hear you had a breakfast malfunction? I don't want to talk about it, Ryan. Where is it? My knife broke. Your knife? I knew as soon as it broke, Ryan's gonna come over here and tell me how I should have brought a real knife like he does. I was like, ah, damn it, I should have brought a real knife. And then it broke again. I thought I could, I mean, it was a big enough piece I could use and then it broke again. Yeah, man. You gotta listen to Uncle Ryan. Frozen peanut butter and Nutella in the morning. Time for some sunrise yoga. Mira, are you ready for sunrise yoga? Yeah, you are. John's in the, he's practicing to poop position. By the way, ladies and gentlemen, Kevin is 6'6". I am also not limber at all, never have been, but, you know, trying to loosen up the old muscles feels good, mostly I just want to be in the sun. Are you ready to ride bikes? Are you ready to ride bikes? Are you ready to ride bikes? Are you ready to ride bikes? Yeah. All right, let's do this. No crashes, no flatties, no whammies, whoo! I want to show you this craziness. My drone is in the air surrounded by hundreds of birds. That is crazy. See all those birds flying around it. I'm feeling beyond blessed, feeling ready to tackle the day, feeling pumped to see what new adventures we find and ready to climb this mountain pass. Today, we're heading up and over Togedy Pass, which is up and over the continental divide. It's pretty big. How's that thin air treating you, bud? Actually pretty good today. I can actually talk and climb a hill. I mean, we've done 500 feet of climbing and like half a mile or something stupid. I'm still here talking. That's right, baby. I may pass out in a couple of seconds, but you just cut it out before I do. We'll pick you, we'll pick you up off the ground. This is a little welcome to the Rocky Mountains. There's Mero the Wonder Dog pulling up the hill. It is so beautiful. It really is so beautiful. Every day, I feel so grateful. I know I keep saying the same thing over and over again, but man, this is a beautiful place to ride by. This is funny. I was racing to catch up to them after filming flowers, and they went the wrong way, and they're way down there. I have to ride back up. Sorry, guys. You guys doing a little extra credit? Yeah. A little extra hill workout. Goofballs. We got to the top of a hill here, and off to the right is a lone Columbine flower, and the Columbine is the state flower of Colorado, and I love seeing them. It reminds me of my childhood. My elementary school was called Columbine, and my mom loves Columbines, so I'm just going to take this as a little sign that my mom's spirit is with me today. Who's in those flowers? Who's in those flowers? It's a beast. It's a beast. Look at her. We got dumped out onto the highway, but it's okay. There's not a ton of traffic, and we have a nice wide shoulder. It's all good. Go Kevin. Go Kevin. Go. Go. Go Kevin. Remember this morning, not long ago, when Kevin was spreading peanut butter and broke his knife? Check it out. Look what he found on the highway. Yeah, and it's straight, too. Straight knife. It's got some serration, so we can cut stuff with it. One good thing about riding uphill slowly is that you look at the ground a lot and you find treasures. So how do you motivate yourself when things get hard? A little voice in your head tells you you can't. So sometimes when you need to, you just audibly say that you can. So I tell myself, and usually it's in Spanish, I don't know why, it's just like native. I'm a beast. I can do it. This mountain's got nothing on me. I can keep pushing. I can do this all day. I go up every mountain around here and down and back up again and keep going and keep going. That's all I do. Keep going. Do it in Spanish. Let's hear it. Papi, que yo soy la betia. Yo soy la betia. Yo puedo seguir subiendo toda esta montaña que están por aquí. You wondering why he speaks Spanish? He's Dominican. He's got the Dominican Sangre. Love it. Good job. You made it to the top. You made it to the top. John's yawning. High five. High five. Kevin, my man. Woo. Proud of you, buddy. Hard to breathe. It is a little hard to breathe. It's pretty steep. My chest was like, ugh. And now we are at 95, 84 feet above sea level. Look at this goodness. Oh my dear Lord, we're going to destroy that. So we made it to the lava mountain lodge and we've been shooting at this all morning and we made it and then we got here and then the restaurant was closed and we almost started crying. We're like, we can't eat more junk food. More like candy bars, I mean. This really, pizza is not that healthy either, but it's warm and it's hot and we're excited and the cook here said, hey, I will go in and make you two pizzas. Even though we're closed, he saved the day. We're so psyched. Here's a little love cycles, fun fact, Allie and I camped right there when we came up and over this. It was our buggiest night of the trip. Tons of mosquitoes we hid in our tents right at 6 p.m. Kevin has figured out that it's just as fast to walk as it is to bike up some of these hills. Hey, fast road, isn't it? It's just as fast. Well, see you later, bud. Yeah. However you do it, that's what counts, doesn't matter. Kevin's got the right attitude. You know what I like about you, Kevin? Is that you're always positive. You're not complaining, oh, this is hard. I can't do this. You just figure it out. I love it. Thank you. Your attitude is solid, man. Car back, car back. Car back. And he lets me know when I'm going to get run over. Every day you're going to get stronger, man. Every day we get stronger. Kevin's working out those hiker muscles now. But the good thing about hills is that they do end. They don't last forever. We'll get to the top and then we'll go downhill. Come on, Kevin. It's only 11% grade. Yeah. Can I have a hug? Yeah, give me a hug, buddy. So cute. So good to see you. Always. Kevin, I have good news and bad news. The good news is the view is incredible. The bad news, we are not at the top of the mountain. How do you feel about that? I was so relieved to be at the top. I was so relieved. Oh, you got it, buddy. Yeah, we do. We got this. Yeah, buddy. Yeah, buddy. You did it. Oh, you did? Oh, yeah, baby. You did it. Yeah. Yeah, that was tough. Especially after the first one today. How are you feeling? I feel good mentally. My legs are loaded right now. My cheeks. My cheeks are screaming. When's the last time you did something this tough? I don't know if I have ever done something that tough. What do we have? 4,500 feet of climbing or something crazy in 36 miles? Yeah, never. High five them up. Bam. And bam. So today has turned out to be a much more difficult day than I thought. Once again, I didn't really look ahead. I know we had to go up an over Togedy Pass. I thought that was it. This second mountain we're going up is probably worse. It's steeper and it's dirt. So Kevin's getting a tough first day. Doing great, bud. You're doing great. This is the steepest part. John was kind enough to take Kevin's seat back up the hill. That guy is a beast. Come on, Kevin. Time to channel the little engine that could. I think I can. I think I can. Now we're all walking. We just hit a wall. Literally a wall. Oh, man. This is hard to push out for sure. It's fun to go down. I don't think any of us were expecting this. This one got us. Up and up and up and up. This is a big one. That was very, very difficult. I was in my easiest gear for the first time on this trip. Just before we started, we could see on the elevation profile that it was going to be very steep. John, being the good man he is, offered to take pretty much all of Kevin's stuff, which weighs probably more than Mira. John is a tank. Thank you for doing that. Our stunning mountains in every direction. We're not very far from the snow line. I can see snow on the hills just over that way. The goal now is to get down and not sleep up high because it's going to get really cold here tonight. And I want to be mindful of Kevin. I know today's been a tough day for him. So get down, lose some elevation and then set up camp. We have been riding and riding and riding and riding today. Beautiful hard day. Now we're going to look for some camping. It is time to be done. We left at about 7.45 and it's about just after 7. So we've been on our bikes for a long, long time. Oh my God. This is horrible. Get off me. I stopped to get some shots of the mountains for you, but there are a million mosquitoes landing on me and I got to go. I'm sorry. I'll try to get this shot later. Bye. There he is. We did it. Way to go, brother. High five it up. That's tough. How are you feeling? That's tough. I feel like I just rode 65 miles, 8 hours and 8,900 feet of elevation. Oh no, that's the elevation we had, 6,200. Holy crap, that was tough. I'm impressed with you, man. Damn, that was hard. Yeah, that was a tough day, man. I commend you. That was an effort for sure. And now we're next to a lake with a beautiful view and a million mosquitoes. This lake is actually called Mosquito Lake. Kevin is hiding from the millions of mosquitoes. You see them all? Well, now they're not as bad, of course. They were terrible. And I'm going to try and get ready for tomorrow to ride another 60. It was tough today, but we got it done and it feels really good. These guys are absolute animals. You don't see it in all the other videos. Holy crap, they're fast. They are so fast. Up, down, flat, they're fast. And now it was really fun riding today. The scenery was, you can't put words to it. You have to just come here and experience it because it was beautiful, stunning, breathtaking, all of the above. Yeah. All of the above. Well, we loved riding with you today, buddy. I'm glad you're here. Hey, man. I'm glad I'm here, too. Yeah, sleep well. Good night. Buena noche, hombre. Buena noche. I am all covered up because it is very mosquito-y and I'm going to get in my tent soon. It's going to be dark in a little bit. We rode much later than we have been, which is kind of fun to ride all day long. That's what we did all day long. How are you feeling, John? I'm feeling really good, Ryan. Good. Yeah. Nice day, beautiful views. Ryan, what about you? Yeah, do you want to give me that stick? I'll throw it to you. It'll be the last stick before we go to bed. Here, give it to me. Give it to me. Give it to me. You are such a goofball sometimes. Give me the stick. Do you want to play or not? This way. Look at this. Good. OK, there we go. OK, give it. Oh, she juked me. All right, fine. Bye. And we're starting to get a bit of a moon up there in the sky. It has been very starry the last week, but we got half a luna. Buenos noches. The cows don't like the rain either.
