OK. I'll add the qualifiers that were implied in my earlier post, but may
not have clear.

Climbing however, in the sorts of conditions seen in these photos (including
grades of up to 20%, with rocky, rutted and eroded trails) would be
intolerably slow with a trike, if not damn near impossible. Then there's the
river crossings, which at 18"-24" deep would be 'interesting' with a trike.
