Every local we met said Fevralsk to Tynda was impossible even in their huge 6wd Ural trucks. These were serious hard men living and moving about there all their lives, not 'townie' adventurers.
Between Fevralsk and Komsomolosk we encountered many rivers, few with crossable bridges, even for bikes. Some rivers were deep, all were rocky. Urals carried us across some, a construction grader another. Others we used rail bridges (on one met a train coming head on!)
One river was chest deep and took us over a day to get across having built up the river bed with every loose rock in the district. We created a narrow ford that was then only waist deep and pushed the bikes across. The current there was a huge battle, made worse by obstructing some flow with our ford.
