The COBDR: Browns Gulch to Lake City

‪@RideBDR‬ ‪@adventurespec‬ ‪@MoskoMoto‬ ‪@GoProMX‬ ‪@DJI‬ ‪@KTM‬ Four mountain passes over 10,000 ft, snow, mud, rocks, wildlife, today has it all. Stage 2 of the COBDR is widely considered to be the most difficult section of the entire route. I only have to make it 60 miles to Lake City, but nearly every bit of that 60 miles will be a challenge. Because I'm taking on this route earlier in the season the road conditions are worse, with snow, and mud a factor at higher elevations. "At Highway 550, riders will have several miles of pavement before heading east on rugged backroads toward Lake City over several high altitude passes. The charming town of Ouray is several miles off route, but is worth the detour especially if you’re looking for a real bed and a warm meal. The ride from Ouray to Lake City covers incredible terrain over Corkscrew Pass, California Pass, and Cinnamon Pass. Expect to take the better part of a day to explore this area. There will more than enough excuses to stop for a photo and wander around historic mining towns." Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound Check out the BDR's at: ridebdr.com
