Guys I appreciate the advise, I have actually been meaning to go get a brake put on, its a new bike and sice I had it built I have had no time at all to get it.
Didnt actually realise the grades were so steep, I figured I would just have to slow my feet down as much as I could on the downhills, but if they are too steep + fatigue, it may not be pleasent....I will try to get my hands on a front brake.
I don't wana be a liability so if still no brake by Saturday I will just leave a big gap between myself and the rest of the group on the downhills, but I will try get a brake put on by then.
