Yesterday was a pretty good day as I hit 30mph on the flats for the

Didn't it just plain feel too fast? I was doing 36 (downhill) and
started thinking... "Any slipup and I'm gonna really hurt..."

No, no, no. Faulty thinking!

The faster you can go downhill, the faster the pain is over if you crash.

Simple, eh?
