It was so steep and icy that I couldn't push my bike up it. I had to kick steps into the snow and drag my 65-pound bike upward from behind, using the pedal and handlebar as something of an anchor while I kicked new steps.<br /><br />I can't even fathom how Mike can hoist 145 pounds out of that gorge. I would imagine he'd have to portage some of it, but maybe the trail is a little different this year. Changes every year.Jill Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943627808770318379.post-50266451392711573142010-03-03T16:11:33.751-07:002010-03-03T16:11:33.751-07:00Agreed Jill, steady Spot dots= in the groove, even...Agreed Jill, steady Spot dots= in the groove, even if bad conditions. <br /><br />You can see Mike’s dots collect on top of each other at one location, when you zoom in you can see Mike must have been methodically climbing/pushing up a steep river bank and gaining elev, soon as he was up the bank his dots spread back out to a steady pace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943627808770318379.post-49857354072129985632010-03-03T14:14:31.215-07:002010-03-03T14:14:31.215-07:00To be able to get regular updates for something li...To be able to get regular updates for something like this is awesome. I am truly humbled by those that partake in this trek. I am curious as to what Mike is hinting toward as his next journey.Dougnoreply@blogger.com
