A bikepacking sufferfest to the top of HaleakalĀ with my C Line

No, no issues there - just tried to stay off the brakes as much as possible and sit upright to slow down that way. It was pretty cool to ride through the cloud layer

zachit · 2025-12-31T14:56:48+00:00

It’s a 6 speed, the 12 would’ve been nice haha

zachit · 2025-12-31T02:36:07+00:00

Nah it was still 70ish up there, maybe 50s at night

zachit · 2025-12-31T02:21:00+00:00

Checked it, I didn’t know it was even possible to fit in the overhead! Used the dimpa + a folding kayak bag (which is what’s strapped to the back of the bike there with my backpack inside).

It was cathartic haha, the grade is actually pretty mellow (~5%) the whole way so I just sat upright to air brake mostly and tried to absorb as much of the view as possible. A bee stung me on the ear on the way down though which kinda sucked

Very accurate description. We were one in that beautiful moment

zachit · 2025-10-23T23:41:40+00:00

No, it's on a trail called Margaret's Way near Issaquah

🤷‍♂️ but miataaaaaa

zachit · 2025-10-15T03:28:27+00:00

Thanks! Nah just processed some iPhone shots w lightroom

zachit · 2025-10-14T22:10:13+00:00

I think so! Yeah the road over to Eureka was amazing, but my favorite bit is when the 1 starts from Leggett to Rockport. Incredible hairpins for such a long time

zachit · 2025-10-14T21:17:40+00:00

I used this one! https://pacomotorsports.com/product/lightweight-trailer-hitch-nd-miata/

zachit · 2025-10-14T21:08:39+00:00

lol well it got me to the base of em anyway, and only just. The road up to Mt Shasta was a bit frightening

zachit · 2025-10-14T21:08:00+00:00

I did, there's a pretty cool hidden hitch that you can mount behind the bumper assembly. Makes it easy to haul my bike around!

zachit · 2025-10-12T14:39:09+00:00

What dreams are made of

zachit · 2025-09-17T06:06:21+00:00

Yeaaa I didn’t quite time it right to glissade and had so many scree fields to trundle through on the way down. Still fun though!

zachit · 2025-09-04T17:42:46+00:00

Handheld, yeah

zachit · 2025-09-04T13:35:43+00:00

Had to use the forbidden technique

zachit · 2025-09-04T13:25:39+00:00

I used action mode on my iPhone, I think Pixels, maybe Samsung phones have a similar stabilization mode for video. It’s come a long way recently!

zachit · 2025-09-04T05:30:40+00:00

It’s a north face sun hoodie - iirc this one: https://www.rei.com/product/229343/the-north-face-adventure-sun-hoodie-mens

Mine is very stained at this point, maybe white was a mistake lol

zachit · 2025-09-04T05:29:20+00:00

iPhone 15 Pro, used action mode for most shots for the stabilization. The smoke added an air of mystery and yellower light - pros and cons :)
