One of my greatest fears in cycling is descending. There is a greater risk of crashing (over using you brakes can heat your rims to cause a blow-out or have brake fade-where your brakes don't grip the rim for it's too hot.)
As I descending into the Okanagan Valley, I reached almost 80km/h at one long stretch...exhillerating but scary!
In the picture, I just arrived at the Okanagan Lake Floating Bridge (Highway 97) which took me into Kelowna. You can actually see this bridge from outer space (red arrow). |
