First off, did you gear down at all?
Once many moons ago I was traveling from Sheridan, Wyo. over the mountains to Powell, Wyo. in a dodge Polara. When on the top you have the choice of the regular route or the scenic route. Well I took the scenic (not a smart move) and when I got to the down hill part it was switchback after switchback. Needless to say by the time I reached the bottom I had virtually no brakes. A couple miles of straight and level and they came back, but the first time I hit after coming down freaked me out.
