Going down hills is our reward for riding up them. It makes us go fast. It makes us happy.
Going Downhill = Being Happy
Tell your stories, post your pics! This is for those of us who have to ride up a hill in order to ride down it.

This was taken on an extremely windy and wet 6-8 mile descent. It was amazing!!!!

Does Hike a Bike count. I didn't do too much riding, just lots of pushing and carrying to get this downhill.

 

[exomatt]

Sure, but this is for those descents that MAKE YOU SMILE!!!!!!

How bout a 7 mile 2000 ft descent ...

 

[exomatt]

Oh Yes!!!!

That is a most passionate descent!!!! That's what i'm talking about. That kind of stuff is rare where i come from, but i've heard of one that's a couple of hours drive away

P.S. Where is that?? I want to ride it someday

Going in a downward direction is where the fun and smiles are.

Oh, I was smiling. The HaB was to get up. We climbed for 8 hrs pushing or carrying our bikes and then got a 2.5 hour descent.

... for those of us who have to ride up a hill ...

No one who is sane has to ride up a hill! I'd like it to be known that not once, can I be accused of riding up a hill. The old sailing adage, "Gentlemen don't beat to windward," also applies to cycling up hills. Only barbarians ride up hills.

The MT in MTB doesn't stand for mountain when a mountain looms. It means disMounT. As in, it is now time to dismount.

On the Great Dividing Range, there are no mountain bikes. One has either a push-bike or a missile.

[MikeJRA]

Yep.

 

[exomatt]

Whoah!!!!!!

That's a hell of a hill! I wanna try!

 

[missoularider]

Sweet pic wild, looks like a landslide waiting to happen! I wouldn't be anywhere near it during a heavy rain.

Pedal up, hike up, to screaming down...

That's been on my list since I saw the post about it last year. One heckuva day for sure.

Here's the HAB I did this morning in order to get to the goods. (repost from last February)
