    Derby Tasmania has shuttles similar to that. Six runs a day, once an hour, between 9:30AM and 3:30PM. They stagger the shuttle vans slightly but I'm pretty sure you're just out of luck if you miss the time by more than 5 minutes.

    • @TrailPeek

    How many brakepds do you go through in 15000 ft of descents?

    • @TrailPeek
      @TrailPeek  5 років тому +2

      Depends on the descents, these ones arent too hard on the brakes. You shouldnt be replacing brakepads that often though. I probably get about 150K feet of descending out of metallic pads.
