Yes, I was in Switzerland riding my bike down a steep road. The road split a heavily forested area and was completely covered with overhanging branches. I flew down for several minutes without ever hitting the breaks. I had just ridden a hard 2 hours of up and down hills through glorious farm country and scenery and the combined effect of flashing these pictures in my mind while rushing down the hill at full speed was overwhelming and deeply satisfying at the same time. I tried to recreate this feeling after the hill, but I couldn’t. I will have to wait until my next long fall. . .
