Ruff or bumpy pavement turns me into a biatch!

One of the best things to do is practice with limited traction situations.

Ride your bike IN GRAVEL. Your tires will slip, but you will get used to the feeling and how to control it.

I ride with a buddy who HATES limited traction situations, rain, gravel, sand, bumpy road surfaces.

I don't mind them because I used to ride dirt bikes. I kind of like the feeling sometimes of breaking the rear loose.

There are plenty of gravel roads in NC. Find one that has a minimal amount of large rocks in it (likely to puncture a tire) and work on it.
