Thunder Mountain TR 6-6-08
Thanks to tallsteve, I realized this trail was still on my list.
This was all part of the noobfest weekend for us down in the Zion area: http://www.bogley.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12389
Shad, Mark, and I hit this Friday before doing 3 canyons on Saturday and Sunday. We had a big weekend. :2thumbs: And then I had some Crab in Mesquite that night...
Anyways, we drove the car up to the top. For some reason we expected the TH to be right by the pavement, so we had some delay before driving about 2 miles up the dirt road to find it. We were hoping one of us could hitch a ride at the bottom, which worked out. :cool2:
I was surprised by the amount of climbing still after doing the shuttle thang, but there was a lot of downhill. We got going 29 MPH on the last mile of singletrack. About 8 miles of trail excluding the shuttle.
Oh yeah, and my ONLY chain broke about 40' from the TH. Luckily I had my tools.
Here's the video:
