We did make it to the Mirror Lake area, almost 10,000’, partially closed.
There were 2 big negatives, one being trailering. I had a good ‘wheel chock’, tried to use additional ratchet straps. What one really needs is a firm arm from the cycle rack to the floor. I figured this out 1/2 way though, prior to that the bike fell over a few times.
I ended up using a 1.5”x1.5” wood with rubber bungee straps, improvised but held solid.
The 2nd issue was continuing on a wet forest service road after the gravel ran out. Beyond the gravel the muck was slick as ice, maybe worse.
Other than those issues, very excellent.
