Your giggling while you ride is how I feel on the inside when I ride. Wish the business side of my brain would allow me to express my joy like you can. Keep up the fun content!
If your keyfob battery dies in the future, you can start the vehicle with putting the key right up to the pts button holding it against it so it can read the transponder chip in the key. The keyfob battery essentially amplifies the signal of the chip in the key when in the vehicle, but if that fails you can hold your key right on the pts switch to start it. Love your videos, keep it up!!!
I love the excited laughing and exclamations on the descent. That’s how I roll (with a few French or Irish epithets thrown in for good measure). You rocked it, Heather!
The Crested area is MTB/ATV/dirt bike heaven. Of course, it’s also ski/snowboard/XC heaven as well. I was snow management there when younger. Glad you had fun!
Made the 7 hour drive from Salt Lake to Crested Butte for 4th of July weekend after seeing this video and it was more than worth the drive. The bike park was legit as was the rest of the Crested Butte experience. We also found some good trail riding along the Slate River. The Lower Loop trail is seriously beautiful! Thanks for the riding inspiration. (:
Highly recommend van travel! (And definitely do it before kids and other commitments) My wife and I drove from Alberta Canada to SanDiego, then up the west coast over about 4 months in an old Chevy camper. Best experience ever! Then we found Whistler BC and stayed there for 2 years ha ha
Crested Butte rocks full throttle! It's a must ride for backcountry riding, so amazing. Oh yeah, Cottonwood pass is a great drive, the views are fantastic, it opened up last year. Sick riding Heather, y'all killed it.
I noticed your friend Gerard (not sure if I spelled his name right). Whenever disconnecting a car battery, always disconnect the negative first, not the positive. I shocked myself once doing it wrong. Just a friendly word of caution. Great video, well worth the drive I bet. 👍🏻
I don't think I've ever enjoyed anything as much as you seem to enjoy riding. I'd love to see a mashup of both you and Singletrack Sampler. Both of you are so effusive!
A van will get you to mountain bike trail heads much easier than an RV. I have done both fulltime. I now live in an RV and pull a jeep behind it so I can bring my mountain bike to trail heads. The RV is much more comfortable and house like, the home-built van was much more adventurous and affordable. I’m enjoying your videos.
Yeah, we used to have a fleet of Outbacks where we left the key in an armed car with one door unlocked so we had to trigger the alarm all the time by opening the door. No need to disconnect your battery. Just start the car and the alarm shuts off.
I love the Evolution Bike Park at CB! So fun! Great town, awesome bike park, also riding outside the park is magnificent! Pro tip...Go see the Marmots at Rocky Mountain Biological Lab. They have tours and it's a great half day trip. The trails in the bike park are all rated green, blue, black, and double black. The marmots even hang out on the rocks of some of the trails to watch bikers. Camp 4 Coffee is a great coffee spot downtown.
In case you missed it… you need to do woods trail. Keep heading pas teaser on the road and it’s near the lift! Two nice wall rides hidden in the forest!!! Well worth it!! And the rock drop to latter on Avery is scarier than it actually is!! Great video
Crested Butte is legit some of the best riding I've ever done. Such a stunning area. Can't wait to get back there. The bike park was closed down due to the ol' Covid when we were there so definitely excited to check it out.
Omg ! I love your enthusiasm going down the hill. Though without the video, the audio could be misinterpreted into something else. We'll except for Mooose 🤣.
Wow, 15 hours for one day of riding... that's too much for me!! I could justify that for maybe three days but that's it. And with todays fuel prices, I'm even less willing... I get 8.5 mpg in my camper towing my trailer (at 65 mph). And it's insane that you have to have a working keyfob to operate your car. That's insane. I'm so done with modern vehicles. I'll keep my 2005 truck forever. Great video, looks like a fun ride! I want to ride but it's been windy as hell nonstop here for days on end. I'm SO tired of it.
When the key battery dies, open the door with the key, alarm goes off, then put the key into the ignition and turn car on, alarm goes off, use usb charger to recharge keys :)
Cool video, thanks for sharing 👍 If you haven't yet, need to come up to Northern New Mexico and ride The Angel Fire Bike Park, it won't disappoint, guaranteed 👌. Cheers 🍻
Next time you have your battery issue... just put the key into the ignition and turn it on. You dont have to start the car just turn it to the second position just before it turns over. This will turn the alarm off... no need to disconnect the battery.
Then you just touch & push the fob into the push to start button like it was one of your fingers. The chip is in the front of fob.. no battery in fob needed …
We have a roof top tent but will upgrade to a van when we retire, assuming prices and supply are back to normal. Looks like CB is quieter than trestle?
