I came up with a hairbrain cruise for this summer. Ride from the base area at Bogus Basin Ski Area back to my house in Boise for a BBQ. After reading, this may be a bad idea. Coaster brakes are not made for long downhill decents. Start elevation is 6200ft and ending elevation is 2600 ft over 16 miles.
I figure take the afternoon with lots of breaks to save the brakes.
Here are a couple of links that got me to thinking.
