Getting high... In the mighty San Juans

Linden and I put our brand new Paradox frames to a major test this past weekend. Two days of absolutely insane riding and hiking. And hiking? Ever try to ride your bike up a 20 degree slope at 13kft? It is a freaking hard time! Here is a small taste of what we put ourselves through.


Just a little bit of exposure. Linden making his way across a ridge off of Red Mountain #3 (12890ft). Just of few feet down to the valley floor, more like 1500 ft of sheer drop on either side.


Linden making his way up the start of Imogene Pass. The pass goes from the town of Ouray Colorado at 7700ft to 13000ft with in 14 miles.
