Award winning film about a 64 year old's 540 mile bikepacking journey across the Colorado Trail. I hope this doc inspires you to get outside and experience God's creation. It is one of His many gifts to humanity.
"God created everything through Him, and nothing was created except through Him." John 1:3
Production Background:
This documentary took 21 days to shoot, months to edit, and took up nearly 2 terabytes of footage and files. Filming came with many challenges such as long tiring shoot days, late nights, bike crashes, close calls with search and rescue, water shortages, and sore legs. But every bit was worth it in the end.
Directed, Shot, and Edited by Davis Yates

4 years ago my son and I ran into an elderly gentleman at a back country alpine lake in southern Colo, it was about 6 in the morning and we were both shocked to see this guy (he mustve walked past our camp very early without us knowing it), turned out this guy was a very knowledgeable fly fisherman, so we picked his brain for an hour about the discipline, I asked if he fished anywhere else, like the Madison or any of the innumerable great trout waters in this country and he had fished many of them and he said they were all worth fishing if a person gets the chance but he added something as we were saying our goodbyes that has stuck with me since and that was this; he said "son, you can fish your entire life in Colorado and it will never give you a reason to leave." I feel the same way now about Colorado mountain biking, I know there are many awesome places to ride bikes all over the world but Colorado has all you could ever want in my opinion.

As I prepare to do the eastern half of the Trans America Trail from Colorado to Virginia this summer, 2023, I found your video among so many. My buddy Ryan Van Duzer is an incredible adventure cyclist as well, and I see he commented a couple of years ago about your beautiful trek on the CT. Your passion and journey to self-fulfillment at age 64 is truly inspiring. I will be 65 this summer when I take on the Trans Am and seeing your emotions and the beauty of your ride will be with me as I pedal east. Thank you for the wonderful documentary that saw Dave succeed from end to end!

He completed 540 miles through the hardest terrain and extreme conditions of weather etc. Great job and please keep on rocking guys!

Breaking the trail up and enjoying the scenery resonates with me for my 50th Birthday I cycled 966 miles UK Lands End to John O'Groats cycle in 8 days. I never really looked up. For my 60th in three years, I want to ride it off-road for over a month stopping at places of interest. Priorities change as I age.

Incredible documentary that makes me want to ride this trail, Ive ridden some of the San Juan mtns (7 days) in Colorado, greatest ride of my life! This is a bucket item for me. I am also newly retired and was diagnosed with a brain tumor 2.5 years ago but have exceeded my life expectancy already. I'm a fit 63 year old and don.t have time on my side. Breaking the ride up was a great idea and would be more manageable for me. Dave, thanks for the inspiration!! Edward

You look in great shape for a 64 year old man. I remember being a volunteer on the trail in 1987. We were the crew which linked up and finished the trail near Durango. We who were from flatlander states had a new feeling in our chests as we hiked to the trail from our camp each morning. That 13,271 foot peak must have been really tough on you. I only got up to a little over 10,000 feet elevation when I was there. Your story will inspire more seniors to give it a go. Colorado's mountains are so beautiful. Thank you.

My wife and I rode it in 1995. Ton of snow that year. It was awesome. Lots of bike pushing/walking. When we popped out at Watertown Canyon we decided to keep going and spent the rest of the year cycling the western US. My wife still rides her 93 Rockhopper she used on that trip. She won’t give it up ever. I’ll tell you this. In my opinion you have to really pare down what you take. Water and food is the constant challenge. Our bikes were so over weighted when we started. We diverted to Silverton and dumped a ton of stuff. After that it was ok. With rigid forks you couldn’t carry anything up front. We typically had 2 gallons of water on each bike at anytime and only had one water crisis after that. We would get off the trail to resupply a various towns, sometimes the resupply was disappointing to say the least. But on good days where we could ride all day and not walk you knew you were in Paradise.
@davebaumann5567
@davebaumann5567 2 года назад
Congrats on riding the whole trail! To keep the weight down, I only carried enough supplies to last 3-4 days and filtered water along the way. Gotta admit that I ran out of water more than once but you soldier on. 2019 was a huge snow year also. Some of the footage you see me pushing thru thigh deep snow on Georgia pass, the back of Keystone and the Ten Mile range above Breckenridge. It was wild and I loved it! I then had to drag my bike thru 2 avalanches in the San Juans. Did you guys ride up Stoney pass from Silverton? That climb about did me in. Thanks for your comments - I bet you will never forget the MTB on the CT :)
