Heck, why do all that work going up the hills if you can't fly down? I feel OK at 45 on the hills around here. I did one ride out to the coast and was thinking "all this hill climbing, the descent will be awesome". it was way steep with an occasional cattle crossing. My wrist felt like they were going to fall off.
