Keeping the bike upright on a "gnarly gravel descent, about 1.2 miles long." Sure sounds like work to me! Nicely done!
My segment is part of my daily commute, so I hit it everyday. Strava says I have 133 efforts on it. Lol.
My first real attempt at it I rode 2:08 (.75mile segment) which was about 5 months ago. I finally broke 2:00 last week hitting 1:59, which was 1 sec off the KOM of 1:58. I took it the other day by 1 second with 1:57. Never thought shaving off 2 seconds would be so damn hard! Lol. This was also on my way to work so I had my backpack on. Now I want to try it again on a non-commute ride.
