A trail you DON'T want to ride alone | Palm Springs, CA

[@soulifam]

Love PCE. Rode it twice on my Orbea. Yet to do it on my EMTB. I bring a pair of mini needle nose pliers for Cholla sticks. There are four ways to finish from the tractor. Three leave me at my back door for some BBQ. Ping us on the next run!!!

[@midlifetrailerlife]

The best thing about your videos is your laughing and enjoyment! I smile the whole time 😊

[@jimmybikesmtb4508]

"Drop Roger!" "AHHH!" So good, Roger is great in your videos. And he's a great guy to talk to every year at Sedona. Love you videos Heather.

[@allanridesbikes5856]

Epic SoCal riding! My daughter gets super excited every time you have a new video.

[@hillrunner2]

That look like fun! Awesome job the video was enjoyable to watch. Your laugh is contagious 😊

[@HeatherMunive]

Thank you 😊

[@MuzzikLvr]

Enjoyed your video quite a bit! I live in Palm Springs and it was fun to experience thru you, a part of my hometown that I'll never see for myself.

[@Marc_Plays_Outdoors]

Good to see Roger!

[@gregmyers8645]

Great video. Roger rocks! I met him last weekend at the Whiskey Off-road. Funny and great guy - he hooked my 9 year old son up with a Kenda shirt, which is now his favorite.

[@HeatherMunive]

That is so awesome. Roger is the man !!!

[@ourelton]

Well somebody is excited to be on this ride! 🤣You're energy was the same at the finish as when you started!

[@trailpimp6369]

I do this ride every year when I go to Palm Springs. So fun❤

[@phillipcly]

Do your abs hurt after a long ride of laughing so much - OMG!!! That's awesome! :)

[@austinado16]

Be sure to buy the new exercise book: "How to get 6-pack abs by laughing for 26 miles." By renowned author and accidental mountain bike rider; Heather Munive. Enjoyed this one a lot. Awesome trail and fantastic edit, especially with the shots with the camera facing rearward!

[@dirtyforksmtb]

Hey what a great video! Felt the stoke! We are from Ontario Canada and looking to ride this trail this coming March.

[@jeffriley2502]

We pedal up on E-mtbs from the bottom, Dunn Road up, cut across Pinyon trail to Palm Canyon Epic. Have been out exploring all the trails around there this year. 7 times so far this year. Doing different variations of the trail combinations. Great place when weather is bad in San Berdo and Riverside.

[@MTBFamilyAdventures]

We did that trail in March for the first time, loved it! You do need to go when it's cool out, can't imagine riding that in anything over 70.

[@jeremyharris4415]

Great video Heather really enjoyed it it’s great to see you and your man are still getting out there riding together keep up the awesome videos you both

[@paulamodei4035]

Just subscribed. Tagging Roger got me to watch. Love PCE for past 10 years. Will be in PS next weekend but not riding since its supposed to be 102*🥵 Great video!

[@brandonmurrayrealestate9246]

The laughing puts a big smile on my face!!

[@tinnomtb1814]

Look like a fun trail for us to hit next! Thank you for showing!

[@w.brockmitchell4145]

when I rode this trail in 2011, I was told the trail was called Pines to Palms. But either way great video and also a great trail that is always an adventure.

[@PhilipUrkov]

Thanks for the epic video Heather and Ben! Counting the days until next time!

[@760desertrydersoffroad3]

I live in coachella valley, and did not know about this trail. I dont do bike mountain, but man this looks so exiting i want to try it. And you and your friends make it look so fun , great video

[@losusmil]

We did this ride about 6 weeks ago and the trail was in Epic conditions! However, we did an entire loop. We started in Cathedral city and rode all the way to the start of the actual trail. It was a grueling first 4 hours of about 20 miles and around 5k of climbing. Serves as a great training loop with a fun descend. We got lucky that the 3-mile sand area that everyone complains about was not very loose as it had rained the day before and also rained a little bit that same day. Nice video!

[@paulmaag6958]

Great trail. First started riding it back in 1991, along with all the discovsrers of desert mtb!

[@utoo2017]

Fun group to ride with. Great weather and views. Chevere!

[@weserve042203]

That looked incredible! Thank you for the video!

[@TRAILDWELLERMTB]

Heather, it was so cool to see u at sea otter, thanks for the ice cream😂😂😂😂😂

[@janettearagon714]

I can't believe you have never ridden PCE! Happy you enjoyed it.

[@ironray123]

This ride is really what mtn biking is all about......getting out there with your best buds and having a blast. No power meters, no Strava, no heart rate monitor, no nothing except the bike and some food and water. And the more remote the location the better.

[@RD-ki9nc]

love those happy giggles

[@MTBQandA]

This is so much fun to watch as all your videos are! Great job!

[@HeatherMunive]

Thank you for watching and being a part of all the adventures 😊

[@HD-on2eg]

I love your enthusiasm and energy. You’re a great rider too. 🤘🏼

[@johnbodenschatz17]

PCE and Hahn are my two favorite local trails and you did the combo. Glad you had a blast!

[@HeatherMunive]

Sooooo much fun!

[@THESEGMENTPR]

What a great adventure with some great people. Love Roger !!! Stoked you guys got some water crossings at the PCE. How rare is that ?! Love the Vlog mixed POV videos Heather. So good !!!

[@mikoyle]

I’ve ridden all kinds of trails, bike parks, local, road, DH. PCE is the only trail to almost do me in. Got heat exhaustion and nearly got life flighted. Just did it again recently and knocked 2 hours off my PR ha ha. This trail is no joke, bring at least 3 liters of water per person.

[@jamesmcdonnell9780]

Great video. Thanks again

[@my2017raptorhardtail]

Nice. I gotta try this trail out.

[@Wood71401]

Thanks to the crew from Palm Desert Bike n Brews and the Coachella Valley Mountain Bike Association for doing major improvements on the trail this year 🤙🏼.

[@baluskisworld]

Really good video!!! lots of fun

[@jenniferalvarez4182]

Wowzers! So cool!!!

[@peeweechavez3872]

Nice heather your energy is the best 🤟

[@endymion8672]

Great trip, great video! Much more fun crossing a desert mountain range than riding laps in a bike park. What I would do next, if I could borrow your Levo Expert for a day🤣 is the same trip reverse from end point to start point. A 26.6 mi climbing trip basically, testing the bike's low gears, motor, battery and my own fitness😅

[@jaydeister9305]

Great video! No mountain biker, just a road bike guy! But 26 miles at 10 mph would take some time(and never go by yourself!)!

[@iAllenP]

Hey I live in coachella valley! Awesome video!

[@bobsinger3377]

Heather resurfaces! Another great ride :)

[@HeatherMunive]

Thank you !! Haha I’m back and I’m staying this time 🙌🏽😊

[@kenread9099]

So many amazing places to ride. Need to get out there😀

[@HeatherMunive]

Definitely put this on your list of places to visit !!

[@wg2060]

That trail has been on my todo list for some time now.

[@HeatherMunive]

I hope you get to do it. It was so much fun!!

[@SkarTisu]

My wife and I used to visit Palm Springs regularly before I got into mountain bikes. I need to rent a bike the next time we’re out there!

[@Wood71401]

Palm Desert Bike n Brews rents good mountain bikes out there.

[@hilarioleon9609]

You should come and ride hulda crooks trails on Loma Linda California several single track trails you will love them. But maybe you already had been here.

[@bikeninja956]

that's a seriously hardcore rip. Thanks for the beautiful video share and making us aware... I'd most likely need an ebike, just don't think I have the steam for something like that anymore lol. You guys are super fit!

[@-Primer-]

Looks like 95% of it's downhill. Brakes ,suspension, and the van ride did most of the work.

[@jesusrodrigues2471]

@@-Primer-def not you absolutely need to have climbing legs and lungs for this trail

[@-Primer-]

@@jesusrodrigues2471 After more / necessary research, 9 miles of climb and 17 miles of downhill or flat. Yea that 9 miles would be a leg burner for sure.

[@jesusrodrigues2471]

It was a blast 😊

[@jeffrytomas6196]

Nice! I did a portion of this last year and it was soooooooo windy. Looks like conditions were pretty good for you.

[@HeatherMunive]

It was honestly perfect. Not to hot not to cold! Such fun trails I hope you can do the other half sometime.

[@stevencole8880]

Have you ever ridden the McKenzie River Trail in Oregon or any cool rides in Mt. Hood?

[@tomassanesson902]

Awesome epik video nice to see you again 👍❤❤

[@HeatherMunive]

Thank you. Good to be back 😊

[@KeithPetersen5]

When was this filmed? A lot more water than when i did it earlier this year.

[@nickfragedakis5511]

Saw a Propain bike in the vid. I think Roger's bike. I'd love to hear thoughts on that bike. Was it the Tyee?

[@escoltatube]

Nice trails 👍

[@njkayaker]

the guy who needed the first aid. was that an H series Orbea Rise? Maybe the full emtb Wild?

[@GaryInSoCal]

Looks like the 'Mt Everest' of mountain bike trails. Start EARLY cause this is an all dayer.

[@jeromep4148]

Wow, what a trail! Are you clipped in or using flats? Just curious how other riders tackle unfamiliar trails.

[@martinvaladez2500]

Buen video amiga y muchos gritos eres dibertida y muy is te felicito ojala y te mire un dia en Santiago oaks

[@frankmilkovics7598]

You didn't really talk about the 3 miles of soft sand that everyone dreads, a lot of people say its the only reason that they wont do this trail a second time.. It's the reason I wont do it and I live close to this trail.

[@jesusrodrigues2471]

That 3 miles is no joke even with a warning that it’s grueling I didn’t anticipate just how much suck it would deliver.

[@Danni696]

It’s roger!

[@stevecabrera6718]

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you guys only did half of the trail. The real pce is a left at the tractor to the han trail. Thats another 2 hours. You went through one of the arts which is like 15 mins to the bottom. Still fun though

[@phreadi]

Was that a finish on Cathedral, or Boo Hoff?
