I liked the videos, not sure i could mange 173 RPM for any length of time!
As for positioning, it is easy to say where is 'ideal' watching a video but that doesn't take account of local conditions (like the road surface, prevailing wind, experience of what drivers are like on a particular bit of road and things like that) things which you get to known if you are a regular on certain stretches of road. The descents i do most regularly i dont take what would be the textbook line down any of them - i know the bits that have cut up tarmac, the bits with loose stones, one bit has a pothole hidden because it has been painted over by the SLOW sign, i know which bit can be dodgy with run off from the field, i know the corners that oncoming cars often cut when they are speeding and so on. It is a bit harsh to be toojudgemental on road positioning unless you know the roads in question IMO
