The Impossible Route Telluride HellRide is the 4th episode in season 1 and it was the HARDEST ONE DAY route in America. The Impossible Route is a cycling Documentary series that follows Jeremiah Bishop, Ryan Petry, and Tyler Pearce as they set off to see if it is possible to cover 7 high alpine passes outside of Telluride Colorado.

The average elevation was 10,000ft above sea level with the low of 8,000 and a high of 13,800. That means just riding period, is gonna be tough. Let alone climbing the steep pitches, lose gravel, and technical sections of downhill.

This film, in no way, can convey just how hard this route is. Its STUNNINGLY beautiful but holy smokes its brutal. So much hard work went into this trip, and we hope you enjoy the film. We hope it gets you out on your own impossible route and that you can discover that your limits are far beyond what you ever thought.

    That’s a wrap for season 1! This episode I took on a director role and we used a team to edit. To be able to make impossible route go beyond me I need to learn how to make this scalable. If you enjoyed this edit I can’t any credit for it. I appreciate your feedback and your support in this journey. The whole team of The Impossible Route is blown away by the support this project has gotten and we are eager to start season 2. This route was beyond words in both difficulty and beauty. I know I can come off negative but we all have dark thoughts when we are struggling, most hide them, but I attempt to give you a peak into the mental side of these epic adventures. If you felt this was worth buying the team a coffee, any donations go a long way. Thank you for the love and support and I can’t wait to show you what’s in store for season 2. www.paypal.com/paypalme/vegancyclist

    What an epic day! Thank you Tyler and JB for the opportunity to play in the mountains on a day I will never forget.
  • WOW! What a dream come true. I am just in awe of how a batshit crazy idea can blossom into a movie! It would not be possible without the support of you guys our beloved fans that fan the flame of obsession!! Thank you! The editors really brought their best, Benjamin Kraushaar and Ben Saheeb killed it on Video and Drone Tyler who just amazes me with his resilience and creative visions and story telling! Ryan thank you for bringing your expertise into the mix, Walker for his camera hustle and ace night driving, and our ace in pocket Travis the Swiss army Knife Longfellow. And of course thank you to all the sponsors for being behind this massive effort!
  • Tyler needs to start giving himself a tad more credit for doing these rides. You might be the average joe, the squid, the whatever you want to call it, but you're a legend man.
  • Watched all 4 of your impossible routes and immediately after I just wanna get on my bike and ride. So epic, you capture the fun and struggle of riding so perfectly.
  • Kudos to you three! You are all truly an inspiration. I started riding late in life after having terminal cancer and given six months to live. MTB has saved my life....not that I have ever done anything like you guys...but like Tyler says, enjoy your ride and do your best...

    The thing I love the most about these videos is watching Tyler's open and emotional journey, and how he rationalises it all and drags himself out of the numerous holes he finds himself in. The production on this was amazing and you nailed everything. The only thing missing for me was the teamwork aspect, that special moment where you all come together to overcome hardship. The pushing the one-legged Travis up a mountain so you can all win together moment. It seemed to me, that Ryan wanted to willy wave a little, and JB joined in on the swinging as well, which left it as 3 individual stories instead of The Fellowship of the Chainring.
  • ”This cork screw pass is insane, it´s so steep” Proceeds to climb it one-handed while filming. Awesome!
  • @arunsundar1
    This is such an inspiration!! But Jeremiah's comments - "No one should ever go and do this ride!!" sums it up! THANK YOU guys for this!
  • @scottcottontx
    37:20 is the best camera angle I've ever seen when it comes to trying to capture the steepness of a climb. Great job on the vidya.
  • @sidjones9896
    I loved it when Jeremiah thought that he was at the top of Engineer's pass, but then he pans the camera around, and the road still is going up. That is the story of every one who is half way up an epic climb.
  • Awesome! The 90's arcade videogame style was Amazing! You must Absolutely have your impossibile rides series on Netflix or Amazon this videos are incredibile!
  • @oldshovel
    This was so epic and so awesome. I am so inspired. Beautiful beautiful beautiful!
  • Love the 8 bit animations! I would love to see a fat bike route for season 2!
  • @BanacaNation
    “That’s a problem for future me.” This statement definitely applies to Finals week haha.
  • @DP-sh3nk
    Thanks! Never "gave" to a video before. Appreciate this video. Geez, you've come so far as a rider, content provider and family man! Awesome work Tyler and team. Happy healthy 2022!!!
  • @abcD-wf9yr
