As Old Man Winter begins to set a strong hold on my home state of Colorado, I have been needing to adjust to the cold weather again. Growing up in Colorado, snow and winter was always a major part of my life. The past few years however, I have been following the nice temps and weather to continue riding my bike year round. This past January three friends and I traveled to West Texas to see what the riding had to offer. After 12 days and far too much driving we got a great insight into the people, culture, food and mountain biking in West Texas.

Awesome video, guys. And the photography is stunning. Keep up the good work.
I don't doubt what you say, regarding Austin, but people that live in Colorado and New Mexico say similar things about Californians; Texans, not so much. Personally, I moved from Ohio almost a decade ago, landed in ABQ, then moved to Durango, CO. A few years ago I got married, and we moved back to ABQ, because (and I loathe this saying, but it really holds true here) "it is what it is". You come to Albuquerque and accept it for it's character and everything that makes it that way. People that can get by like that, really like it here. The ones that don't, are usually the squeaky wheels that are not very happy. (speaking generally). So I can relate to what you say about Austin for sure. I move somewhere because I enjoy the differences compared to where I came from, ya know?
Either way, I'm just fanning flames and having fun with the topic. I'm not harboring any ill will towards whoever, just want to ride and have a blast...
