As the OP, I must comment on the discussion of the turns. My technique on the turns is OK. I have worked on that. My fear has more to do with pure speed. A couple years ago I went over the 50 MPH mark a couple times. Now I will barely let the bike go over the low 30s. I have had a "speed wobble" which does not help anything, and I do understand most speed wobbles are caused by the rider.

A local coach I have spoken with tells me I need to relax. How? Especially when I keep thinking of mechanical breakdowns, even though I keep my bikes in good condition. I keep thinking of a dog running out in the road, which happens often in my part of the country. Then there are the pot holes, objects in the road and on and on. RELAX?
