Fantastic as always, the true spirit of getting out on two wheels! Thanks again Joey, you inspired me to ride Mt. Elbert with a buddy last summer and it was, without a doubt, the coolest experience I've had on my bike.

That does it...I'm doing Mt. Elbert next year. I did Herman's gulch to Jones pass this year and it was epic. This kind of adventure is why I bike.

Enve, Yeti, gold teeth and sledding down snow fields. I ask -- are you not entertained? Nice job Joey and co.! Must be incredible to have a group like that, each pulling their weight to successfully complete a trip of that magnitude.

Loved Georgia on foot and always wanted to ride those green mountains.....but shredding to Kazbegi and missing Tsminda Sameba temple??? That is just waste of great opportunity for view of a lifetime!

Usually talent is focused in one area -like, say, riding a bike- but sometimes you get jerks like Joey who are good at everything, apparently.Including filming/directing/etc. Well done!

Incredible photography, really nice short film, congrats! I'm enjoying these Schusler movies the most.
Georgia seems like an amazing place to visit, beautiful mountains, people.

Can't stop thinking that @TitoTomasi did a very similar trip but all on his own, cheers to all the inspiring adventurers out there.!

You speak a good Russian, guys! Welcome to Russia and also you can visit some more fantastic places like Magnitogorsk, or Gorki bike park near Sochi.

only thing that would make that any better would be if it was 45 minutes longer...and possibly narrated by warren miller... so freaking awesome.

If Schusler had been born before 1492, he would have been the one to prove the world is round.

joeyschusler (Dec 15, 2015 at 13:14)

We just had the drone for a day on the front end and tail end of the trip! Definitely wouldn't carry that with me out there in the backcountry! haha. Bike Mag did a cool review of my bikepacking setup in the Sept/Oct issue if you can find a copy

Joe, what do you think about visiting other Russian mountains like Ural mountains, or Novorossiysk mountains, or Aj-Petri mountain near Yalta in Crimea?

joeyschusler (Dec 15, 2015 at 14:38)

Yeah, I've herd of and seen some great riding in those spots! So many mountain ranges to visit and adventure in!

Mount Kazbek (Georgian: ყაზბეგის მყინვარწვერი (Kazbegis Mkinvartsveri)), is a dormant stratovolcano and one of the major mountains of the Caucasus located in the Kazbegi District of Georgia and North Ossetia (Russia). -Wiki.
