Never post on here that you are getting so fast in the mountains that things are dragging off your bike (your next post will be you crashed your bike). Always smile when you have your helmet on, no one can see your smile then, and you just had a wild time riding the coal country at speed.

I'm surprised by what you left out of that post, Tom. No mention of shifting your weight on the bike to keep it more upright in a deep turn? Wasn't that the first thing you told me I should have done when I found myself riding into that sea of gravel in a turn last year before lowsiding? For someone who uses their weight to adjust to curves on the bike like you do, I would have thought shifting your weight in a steep turn would be #1 on your advice list. Or don't you want other riders to know the secret of your riding finesse?
