Chasing John

This section of trail is much more interesting than the roads, with curves and a rock wall on one side. Then there are the blind "S" curves going under the railroad trestle. You never know when somebody will be coming in the opposite direction. I think I hit 29-30 MPH trying to keep up with John on this stretch. I normally keep it under 20 MPH going through here, so I guess this time it was a Category 6 race.

Great sequence of videos Jim; the "speed run", the "S-Turns" and the "Hill Climb".

That one through the S-turns at 25-30 is definitely "hairy"; since you were across or along the center line in parts of those curves, it would seem inevitable that a biker coming the opposite way -- even if at a sane speed -- would be hazardous!!

Must be the Z-gene in you, as your Mother and Wife would say.
