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.

Jools your knee could of been just millimetres of the ground. Some peeps twist their hips so that the knee swings in towards the bike. If you slide you bum back all the way keeping your hips inline with the bars and your upper torso parallel with the bike, it will happen sooner than you think.
