Im with ya. There is way too much going on down there and kids, on bikes or not, and adults unfortunately, can be totally unpredictable. I was down the hill once and this Little kid literally ran across all the lanes without looking, parents nowhere To be seen. That freaked me out so, now, I take it easy on the hill.
Actually works out perfectly because it comes not long after an “interval” I go hard on so I need a nice rest and breeze anyway. Plus, it’s great scenery to glance at as the lake comes into view ; )
Hey, let’s fire up another ride in the next couple of weeks!
