Bikepacking The Entire Colorado Trail-Denver to Durango

[@duzer]

Who wants to do this trail someday? It’s hard, but definitely one of the most impactful adventure experiences of my life

[@TheLivingstons]

I will one day!! Can’t wait. The difficulty oof Bikepacking trips is what makes everyday life feel doable. I just finished the Huracan 300 in Florida. Harder than you’d think for being in flat Florida. Especially the chest deep river crossing. Thanks for the content!!

[@arboone11]

you ride, I run. We'll meet at the end ;-)

[@davidrobertson2622]

It's on my list!

[@DaleHawkins]

Ride or run? Tough choice. The biking looked tough! Great video, Ryan!

[@AUTISTICBLOGGER_steven]

Ya see I wanna go bicycle touring at 17 and start small and local to work my way up into the north east coast by North Carolina and Virginia and then turn around and come back down to like Florida and head back towards Texas

[@cyberbri6899]

Wow!! I've hiked parts of the Colorado Trail with my Dad and he took some incredible videos and put together a very nice video of the last 100 miles or so. My Dad's goal was to hike the entire trail but being diagnosed with cancer slowed him down a bit then after beating cancer he wanted to try it again, but he lost too much strength, so he started trying to get in shape again, but cancer caught up with him again and he passed about 4 years ago. Maybe someday I will mountain bike the trail and use some of his video and mine to complete what he started. First step, building or purchasing a backpacking mountain bike and getting my mountain biking skills back and getting this 55'ish body in condition and finding a way to get time off of work.

[@davidpayne8413]

why not do it in his memory!

Truly sorry for your loss.

He was awesome!

[@Ryan-1337]

You are really filling a void in that adventure cycling niche that so many of us love. Crazy to see how far your channel has gone and is going. Planning my first bike packing adventure for this summer. Thanks for all of the tips and inspiration my guy. Keep going!

[@duzer]

Thanks! It’s been a slow road, but I’m finally picking up steam! Have fun on your adventures

[@karvind]

What is good and sweet about you Ryan, you meet people, and talk to them on your way. That’s so nice and encouraging.. people feel appreciated.

[@duzer]

It goes both ways. I love connecting with people, it inspires me!

[@karvind]

@@duzer that’s so nice of You.. God bless

Ryan, the quality of the video is just amazing. Thank you so much for the what must be hours of editing - it makes great watching over here in the UK.

[@duzer]

It takes A LONG TIME to edit all this, but I love sharing the story, thanks for watching!

[@GeezerDust]

I got so exhausted watching you push your bike up that mountain, I had to pause the video and go take a break. Great job on your dual job of biking AND filming (and editing). Thanks so much.

I’m still tired from dragging my bike up that mountain 😂😂

Such a relief to watch video without music, unique content!

This is one of my favorite series. I'm loving the uninterrupted version. Definitely a "Bike it List" item!

Thanks! I loved putting it together into one video

[@kazearqaz1734]

I can binge these kinds of videos all day.

I agree!

Ryan, I'm just floored by the way that you brings a smile on all folks you meet and how you inspire so many people to enjoy this beautiful planet of ours and live healthier lives. We are all so blessed to have you share these incredible adventures with us 🙏 Thank you for inspiring me to finally make some major career and life changes to focus on my physical and mental health. Hoping to meet you out there in the trails some time!

Ryan you taking us with you in these adventures is like a calling or your ministry. I love it man. The heavens and the earth declare His glory and you sure have an awesome way of showing us what it looks like! Thank you bro! No whammys!

[@duzer]

Thank you, this comment means a lot to me.

[@ericspeltier]

Likewise, Sage, especially wet Sage, is MAGICAL for me.

[@absolutematty]

Ryan! You are so inspiring, not only to get out and enjoy the world and it’s beauty and people, but also to be a genuine and positive person. Watching you as you put your body and mind through struggles and discomfort and still keep such a positive attitude is amazing. You have really inspired me to plan a bikepacking trip soon. I may do one this summer in Maui if I can get out there to visit my friends. I’ve done a little cross country and downhill in the South Island of New Zealand before and loved it. Thank you so much for doing what you do. Much love to you brother. You always have a place to park your bike and lay your head if you make it to the triathlete capital , Clermont Florida

[@duzer]

Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate your message. And I hope to meet you someday! Happy trails in Maui

[@dubwars]

Damn it Duzer! This morning I woke up motivated and tackled a handful of home maintenance projects. I then see this come up on my feed, and even though I watched all the individual parts when you posted them in the past, I found myself sitting on the couch 90 minutes later rewatching this. :)

[@duzer]

MY BAD!! haha, sorry to keep you from your projects :)

So awesome and beautiful and epic and incredible! I too would have to stop and spend some time among those beautiful flowers! A dream trip!

Those flowers are the best part!

Light snow in Montana today too neighbor.👍

I’m all cozy at home boulder! Enjoy

[@chrisnelson6991]

I love your state as well. Done a couple of trips to Colorado. Crested Butte has got to be one of my favorite places. We did ride out of Durango to Purgatory and back on the Colorado trail. Small section I know, but so memorable. Thanks for sharing Ryan. Love your videos. Keep the rubber side down brother.

[@duzer]

That’s a beautiful section for sure!! Glad you’ve experienced a piece of the CT!

[@rcatkin1]

I was waiting in anticipation for this video to come out! Love the long length and no music. Our next USA trip (I am in the UK) will be to Boulder and Colorado and I can’t wait to ride your trails - maybe one day I could do the Colorado trail in some of that lovely hot weather!! Thanks Ryan for the inspiration. 😁

[@christianhuber4054]

Awesome, thanks for all your hard work. Your videos have inspired me a ton and I’m planning my first week long bike packing trip largely because of you!

[@duzer]

Right on!! I wish you all the best out there!

[@chopwood2995]

Definitely want to do this trail. Basically starts in my backyard. I can so relate to having a smooth trail for awhile after doing technical rock and roots. I’m a hiker but was a biker over the hog back to Morrison many times in high school. I love multi use trails as it makes it fun for all. And bikes help break up the dirt. There’s nothing like the butter smoothness of fine ground dirt with no rocks from many bikes passing. The highlight of my runs up and down Mt Falcon those few feet of bliss!

[@zaldys.5978]

You inspired me to hop on the bike 🚴 thank you 🙏 watching you from California…

Happy Trails!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

[@marymiller2121]

I watched your video through Sweden, and I would way rather be in Colorado. Your video was stunning and very much appreciated as I have only been to Colorado once. The mosquitoes in Sweden were horrific, and being from the Midwest originally, I don’t miss them at all. Now living in the foothills of the the Catalina mountains near Tucson, few mosquitoes and no fleas on my animals. Love your videos, stay safe and happy. We need more of your positive energy on this planet. Thanks!🏜🌈

[@IsaiasPNWadventures23]

Ryan, I enjoyed watching your videos and the good vibes you share with us. I’ve been mounting biking for a while but had never done bike-packing. I would love to experience the excitement, joy and pain one day. Maybe once life gives me a break, I’ll grab my bike and just do it! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us 👍🏻

[@duzer]

I hope that you make it happen! It’s worth the struggle

[@douglaskaye1395]

Second time I’ve watched this video. I’m way too old to attempt your challenges I seriously enjoy your spirit.

[@travisbarnes4802]

I just relived my CT ride through this vid. You did a fantastic job of capturing the beauty but you totally downplayed the difficulty. It's way, way harder than he makes it out to be, guys. Good on ya!

[@duzer]

Thanks for watching!! This was indeed VERY HARD! If you watch the extended series, you’ll see me struggle quite a bit. Cheers!!

[@mattmcdowell5225]

Ryan, You inspire us!!! There's just something about the effort, the skill, the stamina and persistence that keeps me watching... nevermind the fact that you ride the BEST terrain N.America offers.

[@C150hp150]

I've watched most of your videos over the last several years and enjoyed all of them. I have to say that this is the first I saw your morale approaching the breaking point once or twice. You had obstles. lots of walk a bike and other issues in you SoCal videos but you never showed stress. In this one you did. Well done, a beautiful video. Thanks for putting it out there.

[@duzer]

Yeah, this one pushed me to the edge…and I’m grateful for the challenge, even if it was very uncomfortable

[@ardbegthequestion]

Guessing this has been asked elsewhere; how many extra miles did you ride just setting up the camera, riding back and forth to it to film the b-rolls of you riding? I'm always fascinated by how much dedication it takes to go above and beyond to capture a documentary style of solo adventuring.

[@stuartcaughlin2788]

Yes mate. Spread the love. I really enjoy watching all of the hardcore racing and Ultra endurance stuff on You Tube to get motivated and learn tips and tricks but having done my first 2 multi-day events I totally get what you are saying about being opened up emotionally when you're out on the trail all sleep deprived, high on nature and feeling like a wizard. It's a total trip. Please Please Please come to Europe and do an Ultra.

[@duzer]

First off, THANK YOU for the generosity!! You rock!! Second, bikepacking has a way of cracking you open and letting in all the good things in life. Happy trails!

[@Regantdarcy]

Wow. I’ve watched the individual segments, but watching this extended cut really blew my mind. Not only about how beautiful & intense the Colorado trail is, but just how much video footage you had to edit! How do you keep track of it all?? 🤯 🚴

[@duzer]

Thanks, this was a ton of work, but really fun to put together. I'm pretty good at managing media these days, it's all about keeping files very organized. CHEERS!

[@jddallager1699]

Another Doozy of a Van Duzer!! Thanks, Ryan. Pace yourself because life is a marathon and we will always be here to support you. 🙂

I appreciate that my friend, the support I get from people like you is necessary to keep truckin!

[@NickPiers]

This is incredible to watch. I love your work. It's inspiring me to maybe try my first bikecamping trip this spring or summer (depending on when I can get time off work). Out of curiosity, how do you get such a wide variety of shots with your GoPro? I have a GoPro 10 but my footage is all pretty much one shot, from my chest mount. Do you have any videos about your filming process? I'd love to learn some new filming tricks to make my footage more interesting.

[@duzer]

I use 3 different cameras on all trips, the GoPro is only for movement, I have a Sony for the beauty shots. Here’s my process kzbin.info/www/bejne/raqwmJuAf7mSmLM

[@jjfolsom]

Amazing video Ryan and so inspirational, I am just starting to get into bike packing and this is certainly on my bucket list as the start is 20 miles from my house. And my 19 year old daughter wants to ride it with me! Thanks for sharing!

Just watched your Colorado Trail video and loved it. I hiked Molas Pass to Durango with a friend several years ago and it has brought back so many memories. We also hit a hail storm. Loved the drone videos. My husband and I are avid bikers but being in our late 70's we stick to paved Rails to Trails and are loving it. I will be watching your future adventures.We also had some Trail magic from Gudy Gaskill one of the founders of the Colorado Trail.

Hey Ryan. A just want thank you for your content. 🤝 I've been watching your videos since Last 4 days. Every day when i'm able to watch. 😁 I'm not bikepacker. I'm riding a full suspension bike with 130mm rear/front so it's trail bike. A like rocks, roots and smaller drops, not much big jumps. 😁 But I'm also hiker and af course love rocks, mountains, forest and nature over all. 🙏 Love to explore different parts of the world thru your videos. Much respect to you and your performance. Must be tiring but beautiful and fulfilling. I'm from Czech Republic, Liberec. We have so much mountains and nature around. Beautiful country.Now i'm watching trail Denver to Colorado. That trail looks amazing. Stunning nature but also hard to walk/ride. 😁 I'm excited for another expeditions and experiences thru your content. So glad to find your channel. Wishing the best. You're beautiful hearted person full of happiness. 🫡🇨🇿

[@donparsons1237]

Thanks for sharing this epic adventure brother, this gives me some ideas too try in our area. 1 thing that helps alot on the assents is a light weight motorcycle strap that you can sling arounds your body anywhere you like,,, hook the tail hook to the bike in a spot that works best for pulling the bike along. Cinch the strap with a single pull and adjust it as needed on the climb... It takes 50 or 100% of the load off your arms depending on how much you choose to tighten or loosen the strap. I hooked the hook around the strap its self incase I have too do a fast Disconnect,,, i constantly adjust the slip strap 100 too 1000 times on each climb when bike walking... A simple slip threw light weight motorcycle strap comes in handy for everything all day long. Add a carabiner too both ends to make sure it stays hooked is the best. Another thing it comes in handy for is hoisting the bike off the ground up on your back pack so a person can walk out of the Mountain with the bike if it gets crunched,,, best $5 tool out there that comes in handy for everything any takes 1/2 the load off the body as it distributes the pulling weights evenly when its required. At Ones choosing that is. A whole lot less strains on the arms wrists, back and knees Thx again for the adventure. Cant wait too get my tires rolling and boots on the ground. Bike Walking is the best... free rides down are the bonus. Cheers from Western Canada 🇨🇦 Don

Also, I bought a Trek powerfly 4 and I’m all suited up for the Erie trail in a couple weeks when NY weather breaks. you inspired me. Thank you buddy.
