Sometimes we ride bikes. Sometimes we hike up rivers at 12,000ft. #walkyourdonkey #ourayweek https://www.instagram.com/p/BrTG4lDFhNX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kjiu7gjfawgv

Ouray Week 2019 Aug 23-27 All are welcome. Attendance discouraged. Details maybe eventually. #walkyourdonkey #ourayweek #traildonkey (at Imogene Pass) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrQeSE_FM1c/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3h3wpw9s0nh1

Some motorcycle riders asked us what we call this style of riding. “Stupid” was the answer we laughed at as we all shivered in the rain at 11,000ft. Mike said he calls it adventure riding which is definitely apt. Another term surfaced: “Man against mountain”. At the end of the day we just want to see if the collective “we” of bike, body, and mind have what it takes to get to the best of what nature has to offer. #ourayweek https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm7b32-HEbu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tw7gbs2dx789

I’ll keep coming back here as long as I’m able to turn a crank or push a bike up a hill. Photo @jeredgruber #ourayweek (at Ouray, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnBzRoHn9-9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xhkugmxf47fa

Today @the.mike.smith departed back to Atlanta. Such a good dude and great bike rider. We’re happy to report that Donkey Slayer™️ himself was not able to slay his Donkey in five days of beyond category Colorado high mountain adventuring. #traildonkey #ourayweek #rideexplorecreate #colorado https://www.instagram.com/p/BnBuANmHKM0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16looy4rfth5f

Words fail today. Colorado has left us wonderfully speechless at the sight of a million beautiful vistas. #rideexplorecreate #ourayweek #traildonkey (at Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm-JguQHS5M/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vrlk5n8zk3rg

Yea though I ride though the valley of babyheads I will fear no pinch flats. Thy low pressure tubeless and thy sealant they comfort me. #ourayweek #rideexplorecreate #traildonkey https://www.instagram.com/p/BnWXiudnKTP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10u37iqkivyyw

Maybe we’ll get back to posting build photos later in the week. For the time being it’s all about the actual riding.
