I was talking about going down at least two gears - I try too hard to ride some of the local roads IOM TT style (only with AGATT and very minimal traffic). It seems like using one gear at a time would mean letting off the throttle earlier - in a track mentality - which means slower times.

And I guess it "sliding" for a bit is the more common outcome, but at least twice while going from 6th to 3rd, I felt a little hop - but I guess it could have been my heart skipping a beat.
