I'm planning 3-4 days riding in the Alpes Maritime above Nice. While on the family holiday, driving in the area, I was mentally riding some of the roads and realised I don't have a clue how to handle a descent on really tight mountain roads. I'm not a fast descender at the best of times so how does one get round a mountain hairpin - 90 / 180 degree bends - at a reasonable speed but without crashing? I don't want to spend hours hanging on the brakes.
