Totally! That'd be awesome, actually.

Speaking of which, I just pulled the data off my bike computer from yesterday's race. Apparently I hit 58km/h on my first lap on this longish open downhill. Yeehaw! How's that for a steel hardtail? I also hit 45km/h at the bottom of a really sketchy/twisty singletrack downhill, which I believe this picture sums up:



I was doing my best not to become "uncoupled".. eh, Keith? Too bad I was entirely uncoupled and didn't get to enjoy the ride more. ugh! Especially since Mansfield isn't open to regular riding anymore.
