I've come to realize over time my bike loves the descents, and it ate this one up and man was it scary and exhilarating. I remembered much of the advice from this thread, and I got up to 46MPH based on the GPS tracking. I felt like I was on the front of a 747 during takeoff.

Did I mention it was AWESOME!!
