No room for any negativity here. Adventure has a different meaning to each person. Even these 15 men experience the same adventure in a different manner. We all have a different way of experiencing adventure, that is what makes it an adventure.

Not my preferred mounts, but what an epic ride. A great bunch of guys. Beautiful country. I think Evan Firstman said it best when he explained his background at the climbing school. Skills and desires for a certain activity often are formed at an early age and transfer over to other forms of sport later in life. Well done you guys!

Not sure why there are a few negative comments. It 's like they say in the hiking community....HYOH or hike your own hike. Some folks (haters) seem to think every undertaking has to be the way they envision it or it's not legitimate. I say bullshit to that way of thinking.

I hear stories of him surviving a big drop off of half dome that made it into a book. He was caught by his belayer but it was pure luck due to him being harnessed into some trees instead of the rock that he had already fell past.. That Crazy Jumping Jack was great and fucking crazy calculated SOB! I'm currently trying to plan a trip of the TAT in part in memory to him and the other to my own Nana that passed(Well with some detours to make it our own) East to West. Thanks again for the post.

It may not be odd to you but I have never seen a tire do that. watch the blue BMW's front tire. the tire will shift side to side exposing the rim. Did not notice any other bike doing that. Am I correct to assume the tire should not do that?

Ben Brookman Hey Ben! Thanks for watching. The tires are Continental TKC-80s. By a considerable margin, the best off-road tires for these bikes. This route was the continental divide.

Eric Preble you nailed it! It IS a bunch of older men, and yes it's a tour totally structured with maps and campgrounds designated for each evening where the camp has already been set up, with catering tents upon our arrival. Is it an adventure? Of course not. But it's a way for people to dabble in the experience to see if they like it, with very little risk or learn a little bit so we don't get our asses handed to us if we ever try to go it alone. I consider it like going to a rock climbing gym, instead of actually rock climbing. But I got a tell ya, it was freaking awesome!! The tour provider was a RawHyde Adventures, Castaic California.
