Actually, it was the lack of traffic that put me off. Every time I saw another sign it was the speed limit going up again, and there were so few cars that most of them were going near highway speeds when they passed me. Combine that with the fact that I had to keep up with those hills witha 45x17 ratio and you have a recipe for one scared little fixed rider.
