Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

CLimbing good.....descending not so good.

Climbing ability gets better with practice. I've gotten very comfortable climbing because I don't have a choice where I live here in Colorado. But my brain goes into over-drive around 45mph and higher; the noise and wind start to get to me and over 50-52 mph it ceases to be any fun.
