Found this newly graded mountain road a couple weeks back by accident ... Jun and I were riding the Huskies up a river bed and we stopped and I asked the wrong question and got a little confused on where we were headed ... The locals pointed at this rough-road as a way out of the river ... Jun is on the 2t .. He's not really a trail rider but he did well today I thought ... Very well for his first time out in the provinces ...Next time I'm gonna let him ride the 4t \ Rekluse bike ... It will fit his style better than that 2t beast ... Here's a earth-shot of the trail from the top side down into the valley.. Voyager GPS data ... about 3.5 miles and about 1200' uphill gain. -- This is the small BRGY on the river where the trail stops\starts ... Here's a look at the river here ... Crystal clear water with a little Caraboa mixed in ..
Here's a couple trail pics ... This is Jun just after his corn field crashing .. Same area as that corn field The next 2 pics show how bad an illusion that can be generated by the camera ... Look at how flat the second pic looks as compared to the first one here. Same location just shot from the bottom, looking up the hill. This would be ~extreme Rekluse-bike parking.
As I was trying to say earlier, we were coming up this river expecting to come out at a specific BRGY ... I had the BRGY named confused at first and then realized there was no point in heading upstream any more .. So we took the new rough-road the locals pointed us at ... First time up, I'm following Jun most of the way so it is a little slow but you can get a good look at the terrain .. Dirt changes several times and there are a few flat smooth places to rest along the way .. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xMStwrhDFE This road will work well for 2t-4t time trials ... Its long and gnarly with many turns with multiple dirt changes.. Plus those rutted mud bogs are not what I like ... And pretty safe in most places ... Not too far (1.5 hrs) from my home if I ride up the river from the east side ...
Thanks and I luv that climb ... Gnarly, changes all over the place, wide enough to go 2 bikes wide, pretty safe except for the creek crossings maybe... Two very different ways to get into the area, both ways are pretty close travel time... That small store is there for booze and food ... quite place at the river ... Its got lots of what I like -- I'll post more video later; I've been over a few times already; Some of an Australian rider showing me the way; Its remote enough I can let the Huskies breath over there
