And you'd think I'd get more than 92 miles and 4300' in all that time, but 13.0 mph average speed was attributable to much of it being on trails, with a little bit of portage required here and there. I was WAY more tired when I got home than I've been in a long time - since NYC Century on the fixed gear, probably.
I'm too tired to extract photos, upload, etc. etc., but you can see the photos on Strava here:

At about 18.5 miles in, check out the segment Loltrail (slash hike-a-bike) with grades in the 40s. That was stairs up the side of a cliff, of which there's a photo.

Your bike was a least a bit more appropriate for that path when I took it Thursday! I dont recommend climbing over those fallen trees in road shoes + look clips
