... Imagine if you found a long long track coming down from the mountains and you freewheeled all the way! ...

Not quite that same thing but on my last trip to America I cycled the Virginia Creeper Trail.

From Whitetop to Damascus, it's pretty much down hill all the way... that's a good 15 miles of coasting!

Gotta watch that long video on the TV tonight, it looks excellent. I wonder if they took account of the prevailing wind in planning the trip and if they knew about the idea of drafting?

I came across a series of videos by a guy, Spanish or Peruvian I think, who cycles all around the Americas, which was really enjoyable but I just can't seem to find them again.
