4th of July Downhill video

[Riverbend Bicycles]

I finally got my computer back from the doctor and was able to compile some video clips of our 2nd annual 4th of July Downhill. I'm the one doing the poor camera work, therefore I'm not in any of the videos. The video also features my new bike trailer that I bought this winter. It was in pretty rough shape when I got it, which is probably why it was cheap. The bike ride was great, with no breakdowns, and good times had by all.

Gentle switchbacks near the end look like a lot of fun! 8)

Pretty cool. Did you have a problem with your brakes heating up? We did a 16 mile down hill with about 3400 ft. elevation drop.

The brakes get very hot. The disks on the newest bike actually discolored a little and the one with drum brakes would probably burn you if you touched it. Last year my cousin rode my mountain bike with rim brakes. As he pulled into the driveway at the bottom, the tube just popped. I'm assuming it was from the heat. Oh well, we've consistantly made it out alive. My wife and I and our friends just did it again on Saturday.
