The Great Divide Mountainbike Expedition
Lincoln - Dog Creek
Die Begegnung mit den Ruinen von Goldbergwerken und Sägereien stimmt nachdenklich. Was von all den hochfliegenden Träumen übrig blieb, sind zerfallende Häuser, schlammige Wege und explodierte Dampfmaschinen.
Am Dead Man Creek ist das Glück mir hold: Trotz der Kollision meines Vorderrads mit einem grossen Felsstück in einem Schlammloch ist mein Fahrrad heil geblieben. Wegen des heftigen Aufpralls und dem dabei erklingenden Knall befürchtete ich schon einen Gabelbruch.
Posing as "Indiana Jones"
1Same team, but around 2 sec older.
3Your visit in Lincoln will not be forgotten, Julie and Harry.
4Jump! That's the way to cross dry...
5The mud is as slick as ice, but not as clean
6Reminders of an old sawmill in the woods. Can you see the saw? Neither can i.
7Hmm. that does look more like a saw.
8Exploded steam engine - that bang i really would like to hear
10Wind and weather are chopping down the trees
11Marianne is riding through the woods...
12The sign says: Reserved parking spot. Too much signs i say
14Very steap uphill climb to first crossing of the Continental Divide
15What a feeling of power: my leg is stronger that my shoe.
16Pushing the bike is no shame
17Lonesome hut near Deadmans Creek
18Oh, I love these shady spots with their deep mud pools.
19The track tells the tale. Obviously I hit the rock with full force.
20Calm camp at the shore of Deadmans Creek
21Relax, just relax and enjoy the bath in the near creek.
22Rocks and roots are only enjoyable if the bike isnt loaded
23More broken dreams? Huts at Deadmans Creek
24An old biker at the same place
26Only the rusty screws seem to hold the thing together
27Again exploded steam engine - typical for this region i think
28Burned beams are lying around.
29View south to Mullin Pass and Priest Pass
30The automatic shutter was faster than the still invisible biker
31And again a nice steep forest road
33Slick path, smooth downhill, biking at it's finest
34Only four miles to go to Dog Creek
