Cinnamon Pass

[jsouth]

I did an impromptu journey up cinnamon pass from lake city on the t125 and figured I’d share it here.

She did great on the river crossings and even though it was snowing and raining substantially near the top, the Trail kept putting out enough juice (even at 12k ft).








Pros of the 125:
low speed performance
Technical climbing prowess
People were stoked to see it

cons:
Suspension travel when haulin down
The small wheels compared to something big
Could’ve used a lower gearing once or twice lol.

cheers

Great ride, J. I've actually been thinking of Cinnamon on the CT125. Rode it via Ophir Pass -> Silverton -> Cinnamon -> Lake City a few years back on a bigger bike. Beautiful, and thought it'd be a good day+ ride for the Trail. IIRC, nothing was really all that steep and even though it's 10-12k the red Burrito should be capable w/o restraint.
