So after getting the kids to bed i jumped into the lycra, kissed the wife and headed out for a wee cycle. Whilst out i was going down this hill in East Lothian about 35 - 40 mph and i got a case of the speed wobblies. Not something i have ever had before. I pretty much well thought i was going off and although i didn't think this was the end of me i thought this was going to hurt, a lot.
I manage to slow the bike down eventually and was surprised i was still up right.
Jumped on the internet later that night and on the road.cc website there is an article about it. Stating loosing your grip and moving your centre of gravity back a little lifting off your saddle can sort out the wobbles.
i think i started to wobble when i noticed quite a bit of gravel on this road and moved slightly to avoid it.
Scary stuff, and from now on when out on my own i'm going to re-strain myself when going down hill.
