I went down the Malaucene way yesterday and that was quick, bottled it above 70k/hr and hit the brakes. Then I saw some poor soul getting peeled off the road face down about 2/3rds of the way down and rode the brakes even harder. Enjoyed more of the view too!
No worries - think I'm doing the Vent-Two-Three in September, so will have a chance to have a good look myself 😂
Ridiculous descent isn't it? Not the most scenic, but maybe the fastest I've been on a bike.
