Vapor Trail Game Download

The Vapor Trail is 125 miles of mostly single track mountain bike trails at high elevation; it starts at 7k and spends most of the race in the Collegiate peaks over 9k, with multiple passes over 12k. 17,000 feet of elevation gain; the race starts at 10pm, with the toughest parts of the course at night in freezing temperatures; the aid stations are spaced far apart, with a 34 mile gap at night.

It was a wonderful summer riding with Jenna and exploring new trails and a new sport, with my senses heightened by the slow drip of fear and adrenaline that my background awareness of the Vapor Trail provided.

Finally, the start of the Colorado trail, something like 13 miles in. I jumped off the bike and immediately felt dizzy. My glasses fogged up as I stumbled off trail to try and pee, failed, came back and finished my aborted snack from before. I wasn't quite in last place, but there were less than ten riders behind me, I was sure. I put on my Houdini jacket and the toe caps I'd brought to keep my toes safe, got back on the bike and rolled out onto wonderful singletrack.

The Colorado trail delivered. The monotony was over as I fought the urge to ride my brakes down the steep, techy singletrack - my first time riding at night by headlight! I was conservative, especially on the narrow off-camber pitches of trail that dropped off into the dark. But no one was catching me, so no sense worrying. I was happy to be riding one of the bigger bikes in the race as the descent got chunkier.

A mile in the trail kicked up, and I dropped gears and tried to fight my way over roots up the increasingly steep hills. Holy shit, I'm redlining! Get off the bike, don't be a hero, hike it up the hill. My heart rate stayed surprisingly high from the hike and hike and I started sweating, drenching myself inside the houdini. Managing these hikes was going to be a challenge. Don't worry, keep going, keep drinking.

At least I was warm. This scene repeated itself a few times, but soon enough the trail mellowed out and I was roaring down a narrow track through tall grass by moonlight. I caught up to a couple of riders and we got through the flowy sections as a group. This saved me - I passed them, and shortly after missed a turn into a hike-a-bike. They saw my light and yelled down at me before I could become too lost. Would I have been able to recover?

So close to the aid station. Before we reached it the trail descended through a couple of very steep switchbacks full of large dinosaur eggs that swallowed even my knobby tires. I made it down and passed my bud on his single speed, the Alex Honnold of mountain biking. He was looking rough but passed on some encouraging words as I tic-tacked through. I almost went over the bars here but saved myself the destruction and limped out, pushing on toward that glorious first aid.

The next stretch was a long, sandy road cut into a high rock cliff, maybe five miles long. It was mostly mellow, except for a section of trail cut off by a huge rockfall a few years before. Carey Lowery posted a shot of the rockfall on her 2015 race report:

More monotonous riding until, finally, the turnoff to Hancock pass. The trail turned incredibly chunky very fast, and I switched to hiking almost immediately. Ahead of me was a guy in jorts, my spirit guide. Obsessed with my own chafing, I asked him what he had on underneath. I've blocked out his response.

We were 7 hours in at this point, at 5 am. Dawn was coming. Jorts and I both jumped on to ride every so often, but it felt good to hike. I was warm, finally, and able to eat. I started passing people, able to use my trail running muscles to climb a bit faster. (A pass on a hike-a-bike is an incredibly awkward thing. It takes a while, and you have to decide whether or not to talk; the most important thing is to act casual. If they sense your weakness they'll try to pass you back, which is devastating.)

I rolled out and got my speed back up - and then, five minutes later, coming hard down a steep stretch cut into the side of the hill I hit a rock and dumped off the side of the trail. I managed to get one foot out and slowed down enough that my fall, high-side over the mountain bike, was huge, exaggerated. I hit the ground with my back and started to roll, but managed to kick hard with my attached foot and throw the bike over me down the hill and brace myself against a log that I had just missed. I stopped myself before getting out of control, but just barely.

Pancakes with syrup! Coffee! I was going to enjoy this in a way that I had committed to never fully enjoying aid stations at my trail races. 20 minutes, such excess. Jenna grew troubled. "Shouldn't you get out of here?"

More coke and another bathroom break. I ditched almost everything here and switched over to my tiny Salomon trail running pack with some food and a bladder. I forgot to apply sunscreen before leaving! Not a good situation. I did pound an Ensure, which I maintain is the finest ultramarathon food ever created. Nectar of the gods, no question.

The next section of the course was the Monarch Crest trail, a legendary Colorado point-to-point bike trail. The Monarch Crest ride leads all the way back to Salida, which meant we'd now be riding with fresh-faced weekend warriors all the way to the finish line.

I passed a couple of riders on the uphill and cleaned some difficult sections. I was so happy to be free of the big pack, and cruised along the trail, climbing steadily, noting the big storms off in the distance.

And then the segment was over! What else is there to say? great trail, net descent, a little respect and a lot of bragging from strangers... just another day in the mountains. I spotted the fourth aid station to the right and headed that way.

The trail keeps dropping down into small drainages, then kicking up into hard, steep hike-a-bike sections on the other side that are really just on the edge of rideable. Kylie and I keep riding them and drop Jorts, who decides that hiking is the better part of valor. Kylie is an animal, standing up and mashing her pedals on the climbs.

A few miles in we heard the loud noise of dirtbikes and pulled off just in time not to get mowed down by the bike gang coming the opposite direction on the trail. I'm holding it together, barely. The sun is getting hot and the climbs are becoming more monotonous, more difficult.

First, I want to highlight the incredible work that Logan Watts has done to turn the Vapor Trail into a bikepacking route, complete with incredible photos and route information over at bikepacking.com: -trail/

Ultra distance mountain biking is not as bad as ultrarunning at all. The race took about the same amount of time as my Vermont 100 trail race. That race had me shaking and shivering all evening, and shattered the next day. After the Vapor Trail, with very little experience, I suffered through maybe a single hour of overheating and quivering before the fever passed, my appetite returned and I was able to head out to dinner with Jenna.

E-cigarettes come in disposable and rechargeable models. Vape and vaporizer devices have refillable cartridges called pods, which contain the liquid that is heated. These devices do not burn tobacco like traditional cigarettes do. Cartridges can last for a day or two weeks, depending on how often the user takes a puff.

The term e-cigarette is used in this paper. Some research and data may use the term e-vapor product. Other common terms: Vapes, vaporizers, vape pens, hookah pens, electronic cigarettes, and e-pipes.

Chemicals: Cigarette smoke contains as many as 7,000 chemicals, some carcinogenic. E-cigarette vapor has far fewer chemicals, but does contain potentially harmful metals like lead, volatile organic compounds and cancer-causing agents, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

E-cigarettes present public health advocates with a dilemma: weighing e-cigarettes as a tool to cut back or quit smoking versus the potential health risks of inhaling vapor that includes nicotine and chemicals.

Answer: The levels of nicotine in e-cigarettes are similar to levels in cigarettes. However, this depends on the e-cigarette product, which have varying amounts of nicotine. JUUL Labs, which makes the JUUL e-cigarette that a growing number of teens are using in classrooms and elsewhere, reports that the amount of nicotine in one vapor pod, or cartridge, is equivalent to one pack of 20 cigarettes. But one vapor pod can last a day or two weeks depending on how often the user takes a puff.

Answer: There is conclusive evidence that e-cigarettes emit many potentially toxic substances, including formaldehyde, lead and arsenic. The number of toxins, and the concentrations of toxins, depends on the type of product. Some of the contents in e-cigarette vapor are capable of causing DNA damage, but it is unknown if the exposure is high enough to contribute to cancer among users. Though many toxins are found in e-cigarettes, cigarettes release chemicals at a much higher rate and have nearly 70 carcinogens.9

Answer: Vapor products are relatively new, and few studies have examined their relationship with cancer. But there is substantial evidence that chemicals in e-cigarette vapor, such as formaldehyde, can cause DNA damage. This suggests long-term exposure to the e-cigarette vapor could increase the risk of cancer.

Answer: There is moderate evidence that second-hand exposure to e-cigarette vapor is less harmful than second-hand exposure to cigarette smoke. There are limitations to the research, however.

They also requested information from JUUL about product marketing and whether it is targeting youth. JUUL vaporizers look like computer jump drives, which makes it easy for students to discreetly vape at school. JUUL products now account for 64 percent of the U.S. e-cigarette market, up from just 5 percent in 2016.10

The Vapor Trail was tested in the High Sierras, the Blue Ridge Mountains of the Northeast, and along the Ice Age Trail in the Midwest. Conditions encountered included difficult off-trail travel over rock, ice, snow, scree slogs, and some serious bushwhacking. e24fc04721
