I'm not sure if Paddies reference was to the steep grade or the big drop-off at the side of the road. But I didn't even notice the drop off until I read his post. I was looking 5 miles up the road at how freaking far away those guys were and feeling grateful I wasn't trying to chase them down.
Its probably a lot the same when I'm riding a bike either on the road or on some singletrack, being totally oblivious to how crazy it may be to ride on a 3 inch shoulder with cars going 60mph just a foot or two away from me or riding the bike just inches from a 300 foot dropoff into a ravine. Focus.
