This report knocked my socks off so i thought i'd X-link it for the monkies. i really don't pay much attention to mags and vids and who's who, i really could care less. But i've met and ridden with some people who happen to be great riders. Many times a person can excel in the aspect of climbing or descending or technical ablity. These 2 guys completely impress me with their "well rounded" ability to take adventure riding to the Nth level. And this ride report demonstrates that, as well as showing the grit and spirit of true "Mountain" biking.
This folks is an extreme demonstration of the challenge in epic riding. And when accompanied with the satisfaction of accomplishment, it is a feeling that resonates and enriches the soul. Demonstrating here in achieving the goal of simply finishing a ride in one peice, that's the stuff that provides the feul that lifts me back on the saddle to those long grinding climbs and hard punishing descents week after week...
