We rode MTBs up from campus a bunch of times too, to hit that trail up on top. Can't remember the name now, but a really fun loop up there....
I remember I overcooked one of the road switchbacks one time and got closer to an oncoming car than I care to repeat

Yeah the way down was fun until we caught a garbage truck. I'm on a set of carbon clincher testers right now and staying on the brakes the rest of the way down added a nice burning smell to the already pungent mix. Nice wheels overall though.
