#2867: Roughride

Living in Scotland it’s hard to find anywhere offroad to ride one’s motorcycle.

The country is owned by historic estates and many people seem surprisingly ok with being serfs.

Today’s invention is a way to get some offroad hill climbing practice.

A rubble conveyor of the kind used in road maintenance could run either sloping upwards or downwards. In fact, you could have a conveyor loop, since some of these incorporate bends.

Given that these belts can be wider than many country roads, one could ride along the boulder strewn belt without actually going anywhere, even as the angle was being varied.
