Glad I'm not the only one. I'm ok on downhills (at 25moh or under) but discovered over the weekend that I'm not so okay riding across a high bridge. Hubby and I rode the Natchez Trace last Friday, and had to cross what felt like a 300 foot high bridge (in actuality 155 feet above the road below).

Going out I was maybe 1/3 - 1/2 of the way into the car lane, despite a wide shoulder. Just kept looking at the rail and thinking if I fell, I'd tumble over the side. The return was worse. Pretty significant descent from that side heading into the bridge.A pretty good crosswind had blown up. I was convinced the wond was going to pick me up and toss me off the bike at any moment. Rode almost to center of road, just could not force myself over. Unsure what i would have done if a car came up behind. Realize now that my death gripe on the bars didn't help.

Stopped on other side and took these pictures. And found out hubby was equally freaked by the crosswind (he was behind me, so don't know his line across).
