As I turn onto the MUP, "seriously, just take it easy, don't get all sweaty, just ride your bike like a normal person"
As I start down the hill, it might as well be.....
I blame my bike. It wants to go fast. I am not just saying that either, it really does. I have a hard time riding it slow.
Ha... You and me both brother. There are certain sections that just scream to be mashed and I can't help myself. I actually threw 35c gravel tires on my bike to try and get myself to tone it back, and it helped a little speed wise, but power output is even more now lol... I alternate between bikes also and still have this problem.
