This was awesome Des! I like this vlog/review format. 98 miles is no joke! Beautiful country out there!
Thanks Dave! You must get out there at some point!
This is 98 miles biking Dave. Not running. Only a crazy person would run 100 miles.

Adding this to the bucket list. Even if I never get to ride it like you did, thanks so much for sharing the experience! Fantastic video.
Thanks Peter! I hope you get to experience it 👍
Awesome vid! It's great to see how all the products compare in the real world. Fantastic location too! Looking forward to seeing more of these vlog type videos!
Thanks J! Hope to do more soon!
You are so lucky to be riding at such an awesome place, the view keeps you going
The views were indeed great and kept us going 👍 Thanks!
Haven't heard of the Karoo. I was looking into the Garmin until my bike shop talked me into a Wahoo Elemnt Bolt. I have to say I'm very happy with it after 1.5 years. Very simple and straightforward to set up using your phone. Not to mention there's something about the monochromatic display in the bright sun.
Glad you’re enjoying your computer!
Lol, the triple decker bike computer test. Love your dedication. 🎉
Thanks so much!
Well apparently I need to take a trip to Moab (unsurprising.) This is stunning. I was down in St. George Utah earlier this year and this sorta reminds me of that, just amazing landscapes.
You definitely need to go, Justin 👍
Great video! Those were some amazing sights, especially the arch and the last climb. Excellent music as well. Thanks for sharing!
Sure thing! Thanks so much 🙏
Wow what an awesome place to ride. You're a lucky boy Des. 👍
It’s a stunning place, for sure. Thanks Geoff!
Can't wait to see the comparison among different devices. And this vlog/review is awesome!
Thanks!
Great video. Really would love to see your in depth take on the Karoo for this type of riding.
This is amazing Des! Great video! Way to sneak in some tech talk while also showing us these amazing views. Also Freemont beer . . . So good. Good choice!
Freemont IPA is of my absolute faves and was a great way to end that ride. Thanks Matt!! 🙌
Awesome views, you must live near paradise! :-) Thanks for sharing!
It’s pretty stellar in Moab, for sure! Thanks!
Yes very entertaining !!! Great video...Sooooo beautiful!😍 Congrats on your achievement Des! 👏💪🤩
Thanks so much Josie!
Defo like this format Des. The views on this route ... WOW
Thanks!
This is real life experiences! Thanks!
Sure thing! 🙌
Fantastic views, nice music, it was a pleasure to be there with you!
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks!
Epic environment for biking.
It truly is 👍
Uau!!! I loved this video! This views... are simply brutal!! Thanks Desmond.
Sure thing! Also, it’s just Des
Sorry for my error Des!!!
Best regards from Algarve, in Portugal.
Thank you Des, amazing content there!
Thanks!
What a nice and quiet place to ride :D
It was wonderfully peaceful 🙂
Great Video, look forward to more of these types of videos in the future as you stated!!!
Thanks! Definitely more like this in the future!
One of my favorite videos of yours! Unbelievably gorgeous and has me itching for my next adventure!
Here’s to your next adventure! Thanks Peter!
Loved the ride scenery - totally motivating! Thanks Des!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!
This was excellent, Des. Beautiful, and so timely! Riding this in three weeks. So many questions about your gear. Do you suggest Ikons? How aerodynamic were you attempting to be - helmet /clothing? Ever tried the USWE pack w the GoPro attachment. (I'm considering that w 3L bladder) What was your biggest training ride? The next time you do this, anything you would do differently , not carry/ carry? Thank you@DesFit !
I liked Ikons - there's very few technical sections so they worked well by being fast rolling over most of the terrain, while also providing a good amount of float over the sandy sections (I ran 2.35's). Zero attempts at being aero 😂 I didn't actually do much specific training for this ride - my friend and I just thought about it a few weeks beforehand and decided to do it, but we both consistently do 2-3 hour long training sessions. Most of my rides range from 25-50 miles. There's not much I would change with the next go, I think we planned well. Good luck and have fun!
Thank you@@DesFit for being so generous with your time and responses. Will report back post-game ;-)
did this ride in Oct finally! So we made it in Aspens front and rear. Totally overestimated the need for traction! Other than Hogsback and Hardscrabble, traction is not an issue, and at that, I think I spun out once or twice on the climb. Anyway. Amazing ride. 9 hrs ride time 11 hrs overall with stops. Can't believe you made it in 7 hrs. Congrats on a fast rip! @@DesFit
Would love to do a ride like that, so different to the landscape we have in England. I am guessing you need to do it this time of year a it would get too hot in the summer. Great video thanks
Yup, the window is somewhat short to do this ride while being cool enough but also having enough daylight to do it in a day. Thanks Peter!
Des, this was an awesome video. Certainly one of the best I’ve seen- well done!
Thanks so much, Chris! Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Yes please do more of these videos! I like thks vlog style😁
Definitely! Thanks!
Beautiful trail!
Highly recommended!
@DesFit I would love to, but I'm from Russia. Have a nice ride.
Love this video, your vlog like videos are so nice to follow and you get such a chill vibe.
Thanks so much! I’ll try to do more of this format.
Awesome video Des! Great job filming it too!
Thanks John!!
Loved this Des.. great vid
Thanks Paul!! 🙏
Awesome video Des 👍👍
Thanks Barry! 🙌
Damn that looks good.
👍
Des, this was awesome. Congrats, and have a nice beer! I am no mtb guy, but I'd definitely do this if I ever get there... Also.. 959 watts on a day like this :-D
It was right at the end - sprint finish! 😂 Thanks Mate! Highly recommend 👍
@@DesFit What else.... after ~100mi :-D
100 miles…but faster! 😁
Were you tempted to ride a couple more cooldown miles to get to 100? Great video man!
When do you expect Garmin Fenix 7 to be released?
Do love my Garmin
👍
Great vid! All the time thinking how does this guy records video while not falling off the bike on that rocky trail haha
Ha! I’ve gotten pretty decent at riding at filming over the years. Thanks!
Great vid. Where did you download the route from? I going to do the same ride. Thanks
I started with MTB Project but ended up creating the route in Garmin Connect and then exporting to the other devices. Here is a link to the route: www.strava.com/routes/2891412946538158764 Thanks!
sträva has a segment called white rim trail in a night.
Does the wahoo work decently well for navigation in terms of mountain biking? I live in the PNW, which means heavily wooded trails. So if you're somewhere you've never been, you need some kind of aid to get you where you need to go at times since there isn't clear sightlines.
I'm having trouble justifying the price of a Garmin that has navigation. I've thought about just using a phone mount and taking along my backup phone. The issue with that is I can't find a mount that goes on your top tube to hold a phone. They make them for bike computers and they are really sleek. So I was looking into the cheapest bike computer that has navigation, which lead me to Wahoo. I don't need anything fancy. I'm more about jumping than going for long distances and tracking stats (though that stuff is kind of neat.) I just need some basic navigation in a small package. Do you think the Wahoo is good enough to get the job done for that kind of usage?
A Wahoo will work but the mapping and navigation with a Garmin is much more robust. Wahoo devices don't collect any jump metrics.
Fantastic ride. (Music was pretty loud and overpowering your voice at the end though.) Good work!!
Thanks for the constructive feedback 👍 It was tricky balancing the voice, being able to hear it, with the wind noise. And then I probably made the music too loud to compensate 😂 Thanks so much!
@@DesFit Totally get it. No worries - totally inspiring ride day!!
Epic
🙌
Great video. Looking to do this next year. What time of year did you go?
That was in early November. Enjoy!
@@DesFit awesone. Thanks
Hi. Have a bike question. New to bikes (at least in 20+ yrs).
That being said I am looking at a Specialized Sirrus 3.0 bike...would that bike be good for the trails at Grand Canyon? I also love in the PHX area, and this would be an interesting trip for me.
I'm going to order the Karoo 2. Is that the mount that comes with the unit? I've seen it stick out in front of the handlebars but not over the stem like yours. It looks much better the way you have it mounted...
Nope, that’s a Garmin Edge quarter turn mount. The stock out-front mount isn’t awesome, but it also comes with a quarter turn Garmin Edge adaptor for use with those mounts.
Great vid, how did you mount the karoo 2 like that?
With the Garmin MTB Mount and the included quarter turn adaptor with the Karoo 2 👍
@@DesFit thank u very much!
Stem mount link for Karoo 2?
Is the Bolt or any other computer capable of storing information for multiple bikes?
I'd never survive. The elevation would kill me. Looks fun though.
With some training, maybe! 💪
you can do it. It is so gradual you hardly notice with the exception of the final climb( +1300 ft) and two 500 foot climbs where you will get off and walk anyway! It is a long day but was not grueling
Really enjoyed this content, looked an awesome ride! In a beautiful location 🚵♂️ thanks for the useful information on the bike computers too. Keep up with this great content Des 🙂
Thanks Lisa! These kind of videos are fun to make and I hope to make more in this style. Ride on!
Awesome ride and video! 👍 This incredible landscape does not look real and was probably built by extraterrestrials!😉
Ha! It’s pretty crazy scenery for sure. Thanks!
So.. there is no actual white bicycle rim? 👀
Only red rims after that ride
