Stumbling around mtbr.com while I work up the motivation to go out for a cold, damp ride, I found this neat little video of the Cannell Plunge trail I rode when camping with some randoms I’d met on mtbr.com north of LA last year. I’m pretty sure this is the last section which was a complete blast (dropped five thousand feet in eight miles apparently) that absolutely fried my brakes. As this riding season comes to an end up here in the Rockies, I can’t wait for the next one in the western USA. I’ve just decided on all the replacement parts that need ordering – perhaps I will have to go in to outdoor sports winter hibernation to finance the trip, but that’s not too likely.
Here’s my take on the whole trail.
