On a side note, I hate Beckett

Good stuff. I never learned how to corner.... or more so how far I could lean before my bike slid out from under me. I just slow down a lot.

If anyone wants to learn the proper way to descend, please see this video, taken from Stage 7 of the 09 TdF, featuring Fabian Cancellara:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxXqQqAc2pA

Notice the lines he takes around the turns, how his weight his distributed through turns, his body position, and how he accelerates out of the apex of the turns.

For a great example of taking the shortest line, look at the video from 4:05-4:19, before Cancellara enters the tunnel.

Really great stuff.
