How much faster are you on roads you know vs unknown roads?

I definatly go easier on unknown roads. A little faster if someone that knows the road is leading so I can watch their line etc, but still not all out.

Ha that's what I was thinking too! It also depends on how much I trust the person leading.

Yep gotta be careful, when I follow my friend Travis I have to constantly remind myself not to allow him to suck me into a curve because he's so fast, I can't judge a curve based on his speed cause he is not "human" on two wheels, dude is a machine.

All the guys I ride with are my level or lower, so no worries about that, unless they are riding way over their heads.

Yea and the word "trust" encompasses knowledge of their skill, riding style, maturity level, etc.
