Holy. How your wrists arms and back holding up? What bike exactly are you riding?

It’s been years but my best buddy does this kind of thing consistently and I’m always impressed/jealous.

Mrs. Liquid is not fond of bikes since the kids. We’ll see when there’s a 50 in the garage come Xmas!

Be safe, SMART, know your limitations and stay hydrated pal. Also, have fun.

Whew... 127 miles today. Gunnison to Crested Butte, then Schofield Pass over the mountain and into Carbondale.

On the trail to Crested Butte

Look reeeal close in the center of the picture and you see how far out in front of these guys we were. The guy leading us is a beast, and when pushed he'll wick it up and get "on the bogey!" So we got pretty far out in front of everyone else. It was awesome!

We came up on a drift on Schofield Pass and had to make our way over it. You cant tell from this angle but this is about 150 yards wide and slippery as.. well, it was slippery.

Liquid I'm riding a KTM Six Days 350. It's the white bike in the pictures. I have the suspension pretty well dialed in so it's pretty smooth and easy to ride. My forearms get a little tired by the end of the day but that's gonna happen. If we were closer I'd teach you how to ride!

I’d love that. Been a long time since I’ve been on a bike. Once the kids get bigger we’ll see. Sick bike btw.

Cool ride. Not bad or still has snow up there. The bikes still have plenty of power? Just think if they were carburated.

This place is on lots of Co. Calendars and postcards. It's been here since 1892.
