    Did you bow the log down with your Spyder, or did you roll it over so it bowed up before you crossed the bridge? Or was the roadway half wide enough to get one front tire and the rear on one half and the other front tire on the other half?

    We have a similar bridge in my neighborhood. The center is solid though--so no problem with that pesky rear tire.

    Looks like the "bridge" is wide enough to where you could run the rear tire partly on one side or the other of the boarded tracks, at least by the looks of the picture and my un-calibrated eyeballs. I would have to say, " I would ride" over it. Mad Mac

    That's one beefy log. I would ride it if the tracks fit the Spyder.

    Yes.
    Au Spyders crossing

    Adventure is the name of the game, We went for a adventure and had lots of fun. Would not have done it if it was dangerous for the riders or bikes. No different from riding in pouring rain if you had too.

    The water was not that deep, bow wave looks bigger than it is. Concrete causeway and water not flowing that fast.

    There was 5 crossings all up.

    Good ride, excellent company and beautiful weather.

    Good way to clean the dust of the Spyders as well:-)

    How about the back wheel, did you have any issues with traction/nanny kicking in?
