waterrockets 

I remember the first time I raced the Morgul Bismark, there was a descent that had a full field of 75 Cat 4s doing 57-58 mph for one mile, into a hard 90-degree turn, for each of three laps. That was pretty scary, but everyone rose to the occasion, and we had no bad behavior.

You don't know when you're going to go down and get hurt. For me, it's in training, on a perfectly flat road, freshly re-paved, with no debris and no obstacles. Yet I somehow win a rainy downtown Cat 3 crit, sliding through corners.
