So… the trail leading up to that area was not ideal.

It was mostly this horrible path made from brick chunks and rocks.

Then at several sections there was thick mud. With a heavy load and tires designed for asphalt, I had to push (and drag) the bike along certain parts.

It’s amazing how heavy mud can get when it attaches to every part of the bike that it can. 🤣😮‍💨

For the photo, I just rolled the bike there for the shot. No way I would attempt rock crawling with this setup.
