Trac,
re: 3 harbors...keep up up me? come now...I was hoping I could keep up with YOU.
The ONE time I got a 14.9 average, I swear, my little computer thingy must have been lying!!
I haven't been able to do it again since.. I am more like 12-13 mph...

re:grand tour .....probably the lowland century, I don't think I'd want to do any MORE then a century, besides I CAN'T go down potero...NO WAY.
I hate it in my car, can't imagine how I would be on a bike...unless...I ran down it with my bike....hahah...no...thinking avoiding it is the best option!!
I am SOOOO GLAD I AM NOT THE ONLY WIMP when it comes to descending!!!

run down potrero w/your bike???... you're crazy woman! When I did CTC and came to that descent I was DYING! I'd already started so I was pretty much committed 'cause the road was totally wet and had just been repaved and if I had tried to put my foot down, I would have slid and gone down, I'm sure of it. I just white-knuckled it all the way down 6-7 mph... I probably would've walked if I thought I could have stopped w/out falling.

So, nope, you're not the only wimp! Oh, and 12-13 sounds much better ... that's about what I'm expecting to do... depending on terrain!
