Haul 40lbs of bike up a cliff?
My wife and I started up a paved path, in Earl Bales park, this turned into a broken paved path, then a gravel path, then dirt, then got narrower and narrower, then got a little too technical, so walk the bikes then it headed up a near vertical climb probably close to a 4m rise over a 1m run (cliff), it was either ride back down 2km of climb or go up the cliff, so we went up the cliff, grabbing a tree root with one hand and the front wheel of a bike with the other, I managed to get my bike up, went back down to help wifey get her bike up. Note to self, don't take that path again, ever....
