I can remember pedaling as hard as I could in order to maintain minimum momentum to keep from falling over while going down some fairly steep grades in the Netherlands. Good times.




The wind was quite wicked Sunday, I could not even coast downhill Lafayette road has a couple of nice sections where I can normally pick up some pretty decent speed (well, I think so) coasting downhill but I had to keep pushing it downhill just to keep going. I think the wind was the reason I found myself shifting so far down.

Thanks for the advice and tips, it is appreciated![/QUOTE]
