By way of another Brekke--Thom--a cool video of Levi Leipheimer descending the scarifying Pine Flat Road in Sonoma County. Any steep, technical descent on a single lane of shattered-looking pavement would be a little frightening for the average cyclist. What elevates this is the demonstration of how a racer throws himself at such a road. It's just part of the distance between us--the folks who ride for fun and the occasional thrill--and them--the people for whom the bike and life is not readily distinguishable.
