One thing I've noticed over the years.
From my personal experience, the faster you ride and descend at posted speed limit or above the speed limit, car drivers behind you get more hostile.
If you ride at slower pace like 10-15MPH they seemed to be less annoyed. They may be stuck behind you but still not as annoyed then if you were going down at posted speed limit.
I've come down on PV Drive West, heading back toward Malga Cove at 35-38MPH and had cars screeching their tires trying to pass me around some of the bends. No shoulder. This is in Palos Verdes. And the fact they can't pass even if the tires are screeching makes them more angry.
Fujichan, if you need an alternate route back to Malga Cove from Portugese Bend just ask. Alternate route is fun. And you get a nice fun descent back to Malga cove. You can easily hit 30+MPH. (posted speed limit on the alternate route is 25MPH though).
Bluetree, which club do you ride with?? And are you going to show up at Aliso Viejo Grand Prix this weekend? Checked the course. turn #3 is bit scary. from Pacific Park Drive to light?? street. The way the street is paved and on a downhill, the banking on #3 turn is to the OUTSIDE. It's a gonna be a one hot ride!! (temperature wise)
