Climbing 3,000 ft to 1800's trestle bridge. Cyrusher Ranger – Transcript

00:00what I'm going to do is head up the pass here I forget how many miles it is but it's a pretty good climb and at the top are some great old railroad trestles that you get to ride across

00:40thank you

01:21thank you foreign

02:15foreign foreign Rocky climb starts

02:47this gets ridiculous from this point but we'll see oh this is Rocky ah if I got this to look forward to for the rest of the week this is going to be a

03:14crazy ride up

03:48thank you foreign

04:35foreign foreign

05:30foreign

05:57thank you foreign

06:59I'm glad the GoPro has uh image stabilization because this footage would be literally a unusable about that

08:00I think it might just be this one bank so we're gonna walk it what's nice about this is we wanted any traffic up above us it's great

08:34thank you thank you

09:18by the time we're to the top will be over 12 000 feet we started out at nine thousand feet a little below nine thousand feet down by the uh place that I parked I think we were at 8 800. so several thousand feet climbing foreign

10:03has a walk mode too we just hold down the uh minus button it'll uh power the motor just at a walking speed feeling like snow things like that definitely helps a few hikers and bikers come through here lately

10:34open once we get past this we're gonna be good oh that's slippery it's warm enough that it's really Mountain if I let go my bike it'd be all the way down there home I'd end up all the way down there to where

11:00quite the ways up and fortunately where several snow Banks passed where any of the Jeeps or or other vehicles can get to so I literally have the top of this mountain to myself so uh what a what a great day to come up here this is absolutely beautiful

11:34so I'm remote enough and completely on my own back here nobody else is coming by so because of that I'm just writing at a very uh sensible speed here and I'm gonna try to avoid all the obstacles so I don't have any mechanical problems

12:05foreign

12:35yeah we got some big rocks here but we got a little bit of a path because I don't wanna

12:43break anything we're gonna walk it

13:09this is kind of a hairy little rock slide here foreign wow this is amazing let's see if I can do this one-handed and show you

13:41wow okay so this is the old train tunnel here it's actually very short it just goes through um just the very edge of this hill and this part we're not going to be able to ride but we are going to try to walk it because the railroad trestles that we want to get to are right on the other side of this tunnel so we're almost there

14:07you can clip this back on look at this View man we're up in this huge Bowl it's a hundred plus years ago the old steam drains were chugging up here I've never tried to maneuver a 85 pound bike up anything like this

14:40is not a steep little climb though I kind of don't wanna lose momentum here going again this is crazy

15:07boy this is steep we're halfway there what's up now regular mountain bike and just pick it up and hike with it but

15:33nice nice okay come on keep walking nice yep that was the first one we came by and we wrote up here's the second one we came by these guys out here

15:58there is one ATV that is been able to get through I don't know if it was those kids down below for somebody else um but so far I haven't seen anybody since we crossed that first snow bank okay so we uh made our way down the

16:24other side here which is what you can sort of see of Trail here that's a hell of a climb down man that's deep so we're on the side of the Hill here above the lakes and we're finally uh getting close to where we can hop back on the trail

16:50so they keep putting all these uh barriers in to try to keep the Jeepers out
