this is something i need to relearn every spring, not overly rely on the rear brake.
go to a lot and practice, after 30 years, i'm going to.
always have an escape route. my experience has taught me this awareness prevents a lot of problems. happened last week. not enough time to stop after a car/teen decided to go left, as i started to brake, i realized there wasn't enough disrance, so i went around the cell phone talking teen on the sandy shoulder and had room to spare.
i was shocked at how fast it happened and also how calm i was. the calm scared me the most.
great link btw.
