Errrrr....I can't get my knee down at all.
On Saturday in the lakes there was a left hander that went around about 100 degrees. It was a fairly constant radius about the same as a large-ish roundabout right at the bottom of a valley. The road swooped down to the corner and back up the next hill on the exit. I arrived at the turn in point quite hot and had no option but to hang off the bike as far as I ever have done and I think that I must have leaned the bike to a greater angle than I ever have before on road or track - it felt like I was almost horizontal, hanging right off the bike and my knee still didn't touch down.
