Thanks for taking the time for a great post for the Dalton and other northern remote dirt roads. I think one significant issue is rider attitude. After riding on the road for half a day, confidence increases as does speed. Your ego tells you, "Riding fast on dirt is the sign of a good dirt rider, and I want to think of myself as a good dirt rider." Then suddenly over the hill or around a curve, the road changes radically. If you can''t see what's ahead and are able to stop, you're going too fast for the section of road.
