Good for you!!

And don't listen to any of these guys giving you random advice about using your brakes. You use your brakes all you want - you are the best judge of your skills at higher speeds.

Most of all, race your own race and have fun!

but why not push yourself?

dare to go faster, go harder, less brakes & more pedaling
Then walk away knowing you pushed yourself, left it on the course as they say...... And the next time she's riding down moose alley, she goes from keeping up to IAB to passing IAB and leaving him in her dust, thanks to her new level of skill & confidence :banana:

depends which way you look at it - are you the coyote or the road runner? BEEP BEEP!

Tana did the paint job :happydance:
I'd be like "yeah I am the road runner"........ then big pile up yard sale, helmet spun around backwards on my head to remind me my life is more like the Coyote!
