    Doesn't confuse me at all! Squeezing them brakes for a mile or more, that HURTS after a while! I don't think a girl can survive a longer hill...

    Yeah, you can. I did 18 miles downhill a couple weeks ago, but it took a while (days) before my hands weren't so sore.

    other bad downhills: invitingly long straight hills with CARS and intersections..

    Good to know! And yeah, long straight hills that would otherwise be delightful with cars and intersections, or GARBAGE TRUCKS that keep stopping every few feet!
