Skinny rocky ridges on top of the world | CO Trail - Big Bend | WSCS Day 4

Days 4 and 5 on the CT were my absolute favorites. I mention them together as day 4 was a net positive elevation day where we did lots of climbing to get the big descent reward on day 5, however, day 4 still had lots of amazing descending, as a mater of fact, if you asked me to choose a single favorite spot throughout these days of riding, I would have to choose the top of indian trail ridge on day 4. The day started with some fast flowy up and down terrain until mile 5 where we climbed from 10,800 ft to 11,600 ft in just over 2 miles. After some amazingly fun singletrack it was time to get back with the plan and being another uphill trek from 11,500 ft to 11,900 ft. See, this was our first official regroup spot, and since I had gotten a late start I had resolved not to stop for a single break until I had managed to catch up; I have to admit it was pretty cool to actually do it as I wasn't sure if I could. This was the regroup spot because it was also where things got seriously challenging, the next 4 miles would take just as long as the previous 10 so it was a good . From here on out it was above 12,000 ft and incredibly rocky and loose. Around here I had my only battery mishap throughout the whole trip, the camera shut off and I didn't hear it, I missed some very good 5 minutes of descending, but oh well, there's more good stuff. This next rocky section comming up is Indian Trail Ridge, to me the highlight of the day. I usually trim these clips to make them shorter, but in this case i'm leaving the whole section since I loved the feeling of being on top of everything whith very little around, the crazy exposure made it as close to flying as can be. And this is where things got super interesting going down, despite only losing around 700 ft, the rate at which we were losing them was incomparable to any other section in the trip. This was some of the sketchiest, most exposed terrain I've ridden. And I mean that, the camera kinda downplays how steep the banking was, I feel extremely lucky to have fallen foward and perfectly onto the path. This ended up being my only crash in the whole trip, so I really can't complain, it was just kinda crazy how quickly I went from in control to washout. After that killer descent we let go of the bikes for a while and hiked to the lake, which could be seen from the top of the descent, for a great revival swim. Cold water does wonders after ths much riding. And so we had concluded another awesome day, landing at our campsite nested at an old mining site.
