Dan Fallon: Descent to Skull Valley


The descent to Skull Valley from the top of Iron Springs Road is 12.2 miles long. (http://ridewithgps.com/trips/1623786)

The last 7 miles of the road has been completely repaved allowing the total descent to be on glass smooth surface with wide shoulders.  This is a video (GoPro) of my descent (starting at 5:30 minutes into vid).  Clear day.  Very little wind (early). 

Purposely restricted my speed to 50 mph, but could easily have exceeded that simply by not feathering the brakes.  I rode a Bacchetta CA2 high racer recumbent bicycle.  This descent is part of the Skull Valley Loop Challenge: (http://www.prescottbikeped.org/prescottcycling/loopchallenge/)
