My race video from the trail of the Vapor Trail 125 Mountain Bike Race Sept 6, 2025 Salida Colorado

Lining up for the Vapor Trail 125 this year, I knew exactly what was coming. I'd survived this 125-mile beast the year before, but the simple truth this race teaches you is a universal one: Doing hard things makes doing hard things easier. That's a principle I use every single day, not just on the trail. Despite a year of intense mental and physical prep, I can assure you that the uncomfortable moments still hit hard. In fact, just three hours in, I was absolutely ready to pull the plug. My body and mind had abandoned me. For a full hour, I planned my retreat, convinced I was done before I even hit the first aid station. But when I arrived, something flipped. Between a cold Coke, the energy of the crew / riders, the music, and... yes... burritos, I found the stoke I had lost. I stuffed the rest of my burrito in my pocket, shifted into autopilot, and just started pedaling away. It was a complete transformation in minutes, proving that the biggest mental blocker can truly “vaporize” in just hours or minutes if you keep at it. 21 hours and 29 minutes later, I crossed the Vapor Trail finish line again. I'm certainly not at the pointy end of the race, but that's not the point—this is about the journey, the constant mental battle, and the sheer effort of pushing through when everything screams "STOP." What can you actually achieve that you're not even trying because it seems out of reach? Watch the video for the full journey! Yes, I'm signed up again for next year. https://vaportrail125.com/ Stuff I used in the race https://global.pivotcycles.com/bikes/... https://www.absolutebikes.com/ Insta360 x5 https://www.outboundlighting.com/
