TE511 "The hill climber"

Went for an afternoon ride on Saturday on some very different terrain than what I'm used to
which is woods,tight s/t trails. Here's a clip. I've got a lot more that I'll eventually get to putting
on you tube. The video doesn't do it justice. This is some steep assed hills and the dirt is hard packed with a layer of loose gravel type crap on top. It's all about steady throttle and maintaining
traction because once that rear wheel starts spinning, you're toast.

dang, that was a neverending climb.. it was like the energizer bunnie... it kept going and going and going!

i was thinkin the same thing looked to be getting to the top only to see the ridge keep goin up up and away. your rite jerbear, i hate how the cameras dont show you just how steep stuff is

Where is this? Did you have to turn around and go back down the same hill?

Chug-a-lug! The bike sounded like it was barely breaking a sweat. Should slap a john Deere sticker on it!

Actually, Daniel, it was just the opposite. I went down this trail thinking there would be a dirt road or something at the bottom
but the trail goes all the way down to the water and there's no other way out than to go back up the same way, which I was not
wanting to do. It was long and very steep in some sections.
I'm not one of those who's secretive about riding area's but rather than post it on-line and possibly piss off those who turned me on
to it, I'll pm it to ya. Personally, I like riding in the Sierra's better as this place has got rain ruts from hell on just about every trail.

I like the energizer bunny reference...it keeps going and going and going................and going!

if you do a chest mount the terrain is easier to see. Plus its way more realistic!

Nice work, effertless grunt from the beast
