I've stolen the term from Freewheeling Abingdon, but it sums up the ethos, don't you think? To us, any downhill is a chance to freewheel, while some clubs view it as a chance to get their average speed up.

You're missing the adrenalin rush of a fast downhill. That's solely my motivation when descending.

I didn't You when you're riding, although I can see why you thought that. I meant that you're missing that in your assumption that those pedalling downhill only care about their average.

I agree on the each to their own bit.
