Iibhayisekile ezityebileyo zikuvumela ukuba ugqobhoze ekhephini

BRECKENRIDGE, Colo.- Kubonakala ngathi i-Humvee yeebhayisikile.I-burly enamavili amabini iqhayisa ngefolokhwe yangaphambili ebanzi, iziqhoboshi zediskhi zehydraulic kunye nobubanzi, amatayara eknobby anokujongana nomzila ngoburhalarhume be-SEAL Team Six.Inobunzima obuziiponti ezingama-30 kwaye iza ipeyintwe emnyama.Injongo yam kukunyothula le ndlela izele likhephu kwi-Colorado backcountry ngaphandle kweBreckenridge.

“Zibizwa ngokuba ziibhayisekile ezityebileyo,” ucacisa watsho uSydney Fox, yena nomfana wakhe, uNick Truitt, abangabakho kwiBreck Bike Guides."Ezi zintsha eColorado, kodwa iMidwest kunye neAlaska bezinazo iminyaka.Amatayara amakhulu akuvumela ukuba udada phezu kwekhephu.”

Ukuhamba ngebhayisekile ngamafutha kwaqala malunga nekota yenkulungwane eyadlulayo kwimimandla emibini eyahlukeneyo ngokwejografi: iAlaska neNew Mexico.Amatayara abanzi avumela indlela yasebusika ikhwele ngasentla, kunye nenduli yentlango kunye ne-arroyo ekhwela emazantsi.Abakhenkethi abanzima baye bawasebenzisela ukunyoba ukunqumla iSahara nokunqumla i-Antarctica ukuya kwi-South Pole.UFox uthembisa ukukhwela kwam kuya kuba nzima kakhulu.

Sehla ngesitrato kwaye sinyusa iFrench Gulch Road.Ukukhwela kwi-pavement, iimpawu ezimbini ezinomdla zokukhwela ibhayisekile enamafutha zibonakala kwangoko.

Okokuqala kukuqhuba.Ngokudibana kwerabha eninzi endleleni, ukujika kubonakala kukudoda.Yibhayisekile elingana nokuzama ukuqondisa isikhephe esidala sikatatomkhulu saseChrysler.

I-Fox iyandiqinisekisa ukuba ibangcono kwikhephu.

“Awuyi kuva ngathi ivili lifunxa umhlaba xa ujika.Kwikhephu, kufana nebhayisekile yasentabeni eqhelekileyo.”

Emva koko kukho ukungcangcazela.I-5-inch-wide patch of knobs ebetha i-pavement ibangela ukuba amavili ancwine kwaye isitulo sebhayisekile singcangcazele.Ndiziva ngathi ndikhwele inguqulelo enamavili amabini yeMinwe yomlingo.

Ngokungafaniyo neebhayisekile zeentaba zasehlotyeni, iibhayisekile zethu ezityebileyo azinazo ii-derailleurs zangaphambili.Ziigiya ezingasemva kuphela ezitshintshayo.Ngethamsanqa, kunye nekhonkco elincinane lekhonkco ngaphambili kunye ne-10-speed sprocket cluster ngasemva, ibhayisekile yam ilungiselelwe phantsi ngokwaneleyo ukuba andinangxaki yokukhwela iindawo ezinyukayo zendlela.

Imizuzu embalwa ukusuka edolophini, sijika kwindawo yokupaka iimoto ezingenazo iimoto.

“Sinethamsanqa eBreck,” utshilo uFox.“Sinemizila yeenyoka ezinyukayo ukuya kutsho entabeni, yaye zininzi kakhulu.Singakhwela umzila omnye sinyuse umkhondo omnye sibuyele ezantsi kwaye singaze sibe kwindlela enye. ”

Ngethamsanqa, akukhange kube nekhephu kangangeveki kwaye umphezulu wendlela upakishwe kakuhle.Umgubo ungakulungela ukutyibiliza, kodwa ukubetheka ngokukhululekileyo, ikhephu elinzulu ngebhayisekile kunye nenkqubela phambili inokuthi imise ngequbuliso, i-head-over-handlebar.

"Qinisekisa ukuba uqhubeka ujikeleza kakuhle kwaye ngokungaguqukiyo," utshilo uFox.“Zama ukukhanya kangangoko kwiipedali.Ukuba itayara lakho elingasemva liyaphuma okanye ubambeke emlanjeni, suka uhambe uye phezulu okanye ufumane indawo ethe tyaba ukuze uqale ukuhamba kwakhona.Ngamanye amaxesha uya kuhla uye kwicala kwaye omabini amatayara aya kuzika nje.Nantso into emnandi.”

Sinyonyoba siye kunxweme olukhulu olungaphaya.Ngoku ikhululekile kwipavumente, ivakala ngathi yinguqulo enomkhenkce yeebhayisekile zasehlotyeni, kodwa ngaphandle kwamatye.Eyona ngxaki inkulu endidibana nayo yeyokuba xa ndinyothula umnqantsa kweyona giya isezantsi, andihambi ngokukhawuleza ngokwaneleyo ukuze ndihlale ndilungelelene.

Ukujika kwendlela kuphawulwe kakuhle, yaye kungekudala singena ehlathini.Siqhubeleka phezu kwenduli kunye nedale, ekugqibeleni sime kufutshane nentsalela yeReiling Gold Dredge, intsalela eyenziwe ngamaplanga ukusuka kwindawo yamandulo enezimbiwa.

UFox ucacisa ukuba iindlela ezininzi zeebhayisekile zilandela imisele eyembiwe ngexesha lokumba kwemigodi kule ndawo.

Sijike sinyothule sibuyele kwindawo yokupaka.Iimoto ezimbalwa zipakwe apha ngoku, nezinye iibhayisekile ezityebileyo zilungiselela ukuphuma.Sijikela umva kwindlela enkulu kwaye amatayara eengqusho ekhala ngokubhekiselele kwipavumente, sibaleka sibuyela edolophini.Iminwe yomlingo ayizange ivakale ilungile.
