Colorado Springs’ Pikes Peak or Bust is Brit Ellerman’s bread and butter.

Ellerman, who is roping with fellow Coloradan TJ Watts in 2017, was on his permit when he won nearly $8,000 at Cinch’s Pikes Peak or Bust in 2015 aboard his then 9-year-old bay gelding, Duke. Ellerman and Banister won their set, the semifinals and then got to choose their steer in the shoot-out round.
