Carving My Turns


This is my curvy road about 3/4 the way through my 10 mile ride.  It is downhill and only two lanes so not that much traffic.  I turn onto this road off a main road, with a fairly sharp curve to the right, at the beginning here, and because I am moving pretty fast, I lean into the turn to the right.  Then as you can see here, the road then curves to the left in the distance and I am picking up speed and I carve my turn to the left, by leaning to the left.  There is something wonderful about carving turns on nice roads - it is a very smooth and fluid motion and is one of the rich feelings of cycling.  I have started riding again now that the temps are in the 60's. What a joy to be on the bike again!

Looks tricky but fun. Good there are few cars on that curvy road. Great biking weather with the air feeling so fresh and cool! Trace
