A great day...

Today I went for my weekly after work ride. The trail I
usually hit is a 5.8 mile out and back (11.6 total). Its
all downhill out and all uphill back. There is no single
track, its all rails to trails type stuff. My previous
best round trip time was 1 hour 10 minutes. Today's time
was 57 minutes.

It always feels good to pass some certain timeframe (e.g. an
hour). Good job!

down to the river and stopping to put my contact lense
back in. Now maybe I will sleep tonight....

Nice!

Which do you prefer, all down then up, or vice versa?

I think I have this fear that if I ride down too far, I'll
never be able to make it back up =P In contrast, my husband,
whose favorite part of mtb'ing is the climb (gak!), likes
that setup because it forces him to finish the ride.

Down and back up is the only option. The trail dead ends at
a railroad out in the middle of nowhere. Its not a tought
climb, just a long steady pull.
