A Sunday roller

I had a decent ride this past Sunday, as I went into Westfield and then
rode back. I clocked in 35 miles, at an average of 15.68 mph. I was
pleased with that avg because there were a few hills along the way.
I wasn't too tired after the ride either, so my progress is inching along.

Flying down Bonnie Burn road was cool, twisty and fast...just how I
likes my roads. I wish there were more tight twisty roads around to really
test the cornering abilities. Toom uch staright and narrow...
One thing I always notice is that the majority of riders, are very cautious
going downhill, and with good reason. But I believe it is due more to a lack
of handling skills than being pro-active about traffic and the road conditions,
etc. But it is fun blasting past riders going downhill, tucking in their draft then popping
out and zooming by...A bit dangerous I suppose. But none the less...way cool.
