Went for a ride this morning. It was fun, but some of these downhills made me worry.

Pretty steep, uneven lots of erosion not much mud, today.

My hands were cramping from the stress. I was really tense. Having 2-10m vertical drops next to the road does not help.

Used a lot of front brake. If I just use the engine as a break it goes way to fast

Rear brake locks up.

Uphill is much nicer!

Please give me some advise!!!

Thanks
