Admittedly, it was flat; the only hills were the bridges.
I had no problems pulling the load. The trike usually had a couple hundred pounds in the basket, as well.
My current trike is the 7 speed version with improved braking, and the new garden/nursery cart has a 1,400 pound capacity (I overloaded my old 1,000 pound capacity cart a "few" times).
I'd be willing to participate if I'm in the area.
I'll try to start talking to some people shortly. But, I'd probably target for summer of 2019, probably connected somehow to Eugene Sunday Streets.
