She nearly wet her pants going down it, and lost all sorts of stuff off her bike. Then there was a big hill out on Horse Creek road or somewhere up there. I heard the scream from more than a kilometer away. I think my buddy had "fixed" the brakes by flipping the little wheel release lever.<br /><br />It's a learning experience. You'll gradually get more and more comfortable going faster and faster. If one of the reasons you don't is that your bike is vibrating, take it in and get the wheels tuned. The ride should be smooth as silk.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364395150014197905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5985664838954149514.post-42112027580319407082012-05-22T11:06:27.763-06:002012-05-22T11:06:27.763-06:00I had several moments this last weekend like this....I had several moments this last weekend like this. The gravel made me chicken out more than normal (maybe), but it is a shame to give away speed. I tend to get loud too.TriMOEngrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263218066341525194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5985664838954149514.post-59146436430667495462012-05-22T10:20:42.379-06:002012-05-22T10:20:42.379-06:00I think we've all been caught talking to ourse...I think we've all been caught talking to ourselves at some point :) Way to go though!

It's a slow day if I'm not over 80 kph a few times and I've been over 90 a few times with good wind. Be happy to give you a tour.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364395150014197905noreply@blogger.com
