Down hills



One of the best things about biking that is also one of the most obvious is that included in all the hills we tackle is the built-in reward of going down the other side. 

The downhill of McKeon Road is one I always look forward to. Supposedly a plan is afoot to install sidewalks as part of a master-plan style reimagining of the area, which I hope doesn't narrow the road any. I think that's why I like it so much: it's big, fat shoulders. Call them breakdown lanes, call them shoulders. They are perfect for bike travel. In the summer you have to duck your head a bit to avoid a few low-hanging branches, but it's smooth and fast and long, every time.
