EP1 - Thunderbolts and Pine Trees

Описание

This week I'm joined by Evan Green (@thegreenevan on IG) as we set out to ride the Chama Charmer (link below), a 117 mile route that starts in Chama New Mexico and heads North to peek into Colorado before turning South to Ojo Caliente.

It's described as mellow and flowy, remote singletrack. Evan and I found a few (read, so damn many) other ways for the trail to pose challenges.

It wasn’t all bad through, we also got treated to some beautiful rewards for our efforts.
