The most aggression I'll show on the street (in the canyons) is 70x70=49%. This means 70% of perceived available traction, times 70% of MY ability. Usually this translates as brisk cornering speeds, with relaxation on the straights. In Golden Gate, I rarely exceed 60 mph, but I might run pretty close to that in some of the corners with good visibility. I can recall a couple of occasions when I had the footpegs drag in Coal Creek on the west switchbacks, but that was at about 25 mph. I guess it all boils down to riding within yourself, as so many others have said.

126/67 presents a lot of challenges for the riders, especially after the Buffalo Creek and Hayman fires, as road conditions can change without warning (sand, washouts, potholes). I really enjoy that road, but rarely ride it any more, as it has become very busy and that pushed the danger:fun ratio in the wrong direction.
