5 miles of Hell

[Garbanzo]

I was able to meet a group of friends from Colorado Springs and ride the 5 Miles of Hell Trail. At first I thought it was tough, but not overly technical.
I was wrong. It's very technical and unrelenting. No one section is impossible to ride, but there has to be over 100 of them that will test you in a big way.
I becomes more of a test of stamina. For a whopping 7.9 Miles!! It was a 21 mile loop, but 7.9 miles are the hell section. Not sure why they call it 5. Either way, it's a MUST RIDE if you can love (and can handle) lots of technical riding.

Here are a few photos and the map of it. Again, it is an unforgettable and beautiful trail.

I hear its rough. How many times did you lay the bike down?

Not much. Maybe 3. I had a few tired and lazy moments. I had one wheelie, turn and let the bike bounce in the rocks moment.:facepalm1: No damage.

It blows your mind when you look across the rock valley and see it took a few hours to go so little ways. Some of the lines on the rock appear to take you to your death. But they don't. It should be called 5Miles of Heaven!:lol8:

Here is a belated video I put together. It gets better in the middle.

Nice video ! I would have liked to hear how much throttle and maybe some, How the _____ am I going to get up or down that obstacle. :hail2thechief: Great trail for trashing a bike, I mean learning some sweet bike handling skills. :haha:
