A Short Ride to The Middle Of Nowhere

Now, more than ever, the need to get away from the noise is so important. It’s not just social distancing, it’s soul rest. Whether you have a weekend or longer, Colorado has a ride that’s sure to breathe life back into you… even if the air is a little thin.

Colorado is known for its incredible scenery, and how easy it is to be right in the middle of it. Sometimes it feels like you’re looking at a mountain, and before you know it, you’re on top of it. Hagerman Pass is like that, a quick ride from Buena Vista, and you’re just outside the beautiful town of Leadville feeling like you’re smack dab in the middle of nowhere. About three hours from Colorado Springs or Denver, it’s sure to fulfill your craving for the outdoors, let you test your skills on some fun terrain and get home in time for dinner.

CHASING PEAKS IN THE HIMALAYAS

It was 2:00 a.m. on my fourth day in India. My eyes blinked open in the dark of a hotel room in Drass, a town in the Himalayas on the Indian side of the border. Yesterday was our first day riding on a six-day trip through the Himalayas, and my brain could not process everything I'd seen and experienced.

MAKING MEMORIES

Kevin and I initially met in the Marines. We have been riding together for a few years, and riding BDRs the entire time. Our first attempt at a BDR was in Utah, where we were completely unprepared and significantly ignorant of our capabilities. It led to some interesting moments conquering Lockhart Basin where we developed our backcountry motto: “Less Gear and More Water.” We document our rides on our YouTube channel, “Be Gone for Good.”
