At first glance, this may just look like another one of the many rock trains headed to Houston each day to feed the immense demand for concrete. However, a second glance may notice the train is rolling through a railroad crossing with the gates up! At the time, UP was bringing the new "Main 1" of the Glidden Subdivision into service, which necessitated a suspension of all signals and railroad crossings over a roughly 7 mile portion of busy main line. So, flaggers were positioned at each of 13 crossings to protect cars from oncoming trains all day and all night for several days.

I rode up to Cathedral Park in St Johns for this week's coffee outside. From there I headed south to the Portland Farmers Market to get my breakfast burrito from Enchanted Sun.
As always I took a mildly circuitous route through alleys ā some paved and some unpaved doubletrack. I rode some singletrack, sort of, through former industrial areas and even passed through a Superfund site.

Mountain biking a TransAlp route from Zillergrund to Mayrhofen, Tirol. The Trail #45 coming down from Zillergrund is a mix of singletrack, doubletrack, and occasional asphalt.
Judging only by the CTC system, and doubletrack main with 155lb welded rail, you'd think this was a busy mainline. Far from it, this steam era relic only watches between 2 and 6 movements per day.
Alta Via del Sale. In torrential downpour. For the whole day from 9 am to nightfall.
It was Alps Divide Day two for me. This weather was forecasted, but the extend and intensity was extraordinary. And itās not me saying this. This came from quite a lot of very experienced people. Even people living in the UK and in Scotland and who have participated in events like Silkroad Mountain Race. E.g. both @Jennytough and @nielcopeland said this rain had broken the scale.
And wow - I literally rode through rivers running across the trails. At times just one side, at times on both sides. And it was chunky. As usual, the photos donāt do the real roughness of the surface justice. It was no mellow riding. It wouldnāt have even on good gravel surface as I did 3.400 meters of climbing on that day. But indeed it was a constant search for rideable lines over the chunky trails. Right through the middle of the streams running down the trails or next to it.
As long as I was moving and moving upwards the temperature werenāt that much of a problem. But for the descending parts the wet body had few reserves. Still not at the halfway mark, after quite a bit of a descending part and still 20 km from the next rifugio (i.e. more than 2 hours away) I was shivering so hard once stopped. Luckily I found a small opportunity to pull out my puffy jacket under a bit of shelter and put in on under my rain jacket. It took a while to stop shivering after staring to move again, but I finally could comfortably āswimā all the rest of the Via Sale. It took me until well after dusk, when the rain finally subsided a little above Tende but gave way to dense and wet fog.
This was quite the experience.
