The road surface is so smooth, such little grip under braking. I’ve only done this road once and it was super early in the morning so I didn’t see any cars on the way down otherwise I’m sure I’d have done the same
The bike just skids and doesn't slow down much at all because of how steep is and yes the roads are very smooth. Will definitely be doing it early next time I'm out, to avoid it happening again 👍
Smooth tarmac is better for braking, look at motorsport tracks as an example, the smoother the tarmac the more grip is available under cornering and braking.
It’s a lovely descent and climb but best done before 9am if you can, typical of car drivers to panic and come to a stop but to be honest I would have been expecting that on that road, sensible car drivers would have stopped to let you by much much earlier and possibly you could have got by them in a couple of places. At least no real harm was done.
Think we get a little too excited in Majorca, when and where in England do we practice these descents?!
Nice one.
I’m not a fan of buzzy bee 🐝 free hubs but each to there own. Cheers
Fair enough!
