Cannell Plunge Riding, June 9, 2012

Cannell Plunge Trail:
A long downhill with about 9,000' of descending and about 2,300' of climbing (at 8500' that's a lot of climbing). The final Plunge is over 5000' in the last 8 miles. Lots of miles of beautiful alpine meadows, and incredible single-tracks. Be prepared for any and all types of trail, with lots of loose steep sections. We dealt with extremely sandy & loose gravel sections this year, which have been changing constantly and somehow damaged rapidly. Special thanks to those Mrs giving us a huge ride to the top!
