I have never understood why most roadies get so freaked out around RR tracks. Hit them at 90 degrees at
a reasonable speed and your momentum will carry you right over. If the crossing is rough, get out of the
saddle and use your arms and legs to absorb some of the roughness. If your weight is centered there is
no way you will go down.

Road bikers, in general don't seem to under the concept of using momentum to carry the bike over obstacles.
The last thing you want to do when confronted with an obstacle like RR tracks is slow down to .5MPH and then
try to pedal over. Momentum is your friend!

Mountain Biking does wonders for road bike skills. It's pretty amazing what you can ride a bike over if you
have the momentum.
