NOW you tell me?!?!?! Obviously I need to pay closer attention. Geez.

You Don't need to pay closer attention- Unless you are not going fast enough. I used to get annoyed with Stuart because at speed- I would tuck in tight behind him and all I could feel was the brakes going on too early. I swore at him Once when this happened but he pointed out to me that he had to brake because the Cows were right across the path And would not move. Then on a road ride he braked again on a curve and Lots of swearing this time. Then he pointed behind at the Surface on the Curve and it was loose gravel.
Thats the problem with Pilots- They chicken out occasionally.
Now get the T offroad with a few Lumps and hollows in the Trail and that is when you do know the speed you are going at. 53.8mph and We had to brake halfway down because we did not know if the gate was open.
