Gorgeous spot. Riding up the hill from there is fun ๐Ÿ˜

Yeah, that hill burned way too many calories. I was not expecting to end up there, but I enjoyed the adventure.

This looks fantastic. I looked up the location, crazy that this seems so close to the city, it looks way out.

What a pretty view! Thank you for sharing.

Hope you had an awesome ride. โค๏ธ

Getting to the city was epic, and I really didn't plan to ride that far, but it was so satisfying.

I also loved seeing just how many cyclists there are the closer you get to downtown. ๐Ÿ‘

Love it. Did you drag it out there for the pic or ride it?

[โ€“] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

So... the trail leading up to that area was not ideal.

It was mostly this horrible path made from brick chunks and rocks.

Then at several sections there was thick mud. With a heavy load and tires designed for asphalt, I had to push (and drag) the bike along certain parts.

It's amazing how heavy mud can get when it attaches to every part of the bike that it can. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

For the photo, I just rolled the bike there for the shot. No way I would attempt rock crawling with this setup.
