I took a ride by myself yesterday in the country. I knew not to do a big distance because I'm in my winter condition. I've been riding but less. I did 16 miles, some very hilly. One hill was a 1,000 ft climb in 3 miles. I like tough climbs. My top speed going down was 43 mph.
Have they swept the roads there? Here, roads and paths are still covered with winter abrasives and I wouldn't even venture riding at that speed. One hill on my commute I take at 60 km/h normally but at this time of the year, I think my max speed was around 30 km/h. It does lightly veer left mid way and a more pronounced right at the bottom so that doesn't help either.
