ten mph IS slow though... try to gradually increase your speed.
I know ten is slow downhill, Mimi -- the good news is I'm up from six! Downhill on the winding hills amuses me a bit when I think about it, cuz there's just NO way I let the bike go, but then, like, I get down this particular hill, and there's another downhill run right after it that's straight shot, and I fly down that stretch at 30 no problem! And thinking about that rationally, if I know full well that I could lose control at 12 going down the curving hill, and need to know I can stay upright, whatever, then what's to make it easier on the straight shot? I figure it's that you can see so much farther ahead on the straights!
