Yes, I could tell as I was going that it wasn't a major deal. My top speed going down (checked later) was 32.4. It's not so much the speed, it's the inability to stop...and the fact that if anything happened suddenly, i would be on the ground. I didn't know the terrain and also I nearly crashed into a wild turkey at full speed earlier in the ride. So I wasn't psyched about any more surprises
that being said, I push myself to go a little faster every time. Baby steps.
