half peddle tecnique, or buy some lakes or shimanos
We need the MTBNJ's brightest minds on this... there's got to be a practical, simple way across that bloody stream without over-engineering...:hmmm:
just bring plastic bags to cover your feet.
Definitely don't see a really viable way to ride both sides without crossing the river at least once (did take the easy way out and skirt onto the rode to miss the other crossing)
I don't cross it in cold weather - ride new, red, blue trails and then come back
