Nope, didn't get to the Skywalk. We rode the mules yesterday though and my ass is paying for it today.

They just mentioned on the news that July was the hottest July on record for the state of Texas. They have been keeping records since 1895.

Did you notice any brake fading going down the canyon? Any issues with the stock shoes?

Brakes were good with new shoes. Acceleration was a bit off the mark though but didn't need much of that. The only real problem was the exhaust from the mule in front of me.    :o
