Thanks everyone. Ya I shouldn't have used the rear brake like I did, it's a bad habit I have during emergency braking. The back starting to slide out is my indication to let go and re apply slight pressure again. Although I'm very impressed with what the front brake can do with a good rotor, pads, and a stainless line.
My vision is focused on the 11-1 o clock area with quick occasional glances at my mirrors for rear view feedback. I've always encountered hazards in that field of view. I like to think I have quick reaction time and excellent reflexes (lots of video games and sports to thank for that)
always ride just right of center and make sure to look at least 10-15 seconds ahead of me and I say a little prayer before my rides.
