    Ah, I might be another person who sags down and not up!
    On my Austria trip, we had a 7 mile switchback descent. The road was wide, but it was a highway, sort of, although very few cars actually passed me. I got to the bottom a full 10 minutes after my DH.

    I'm #3 for wanting to avoid descents more than climbs.

    I'll be #4 then.
    My DH loves to go riding whenever we visit Colorado. I do, too, but dread the descents for months leading up to it. I can't really practice them around here (no hills), so it's a skill I can't develop. I just ride the brakes and say an extra Hail Mary before I head down.

    Oh, and back on topic- I got the newest Woman Tours catalog of rides and drooled over soooo many of them! We've never taken separate vacations, but I would secretly LOVE to go off on a biking tour one summer when I'm off. Tell us how you like it (both of you doing the Moab tour).
