Have any of you guys set up any downhill segments for fun?
I think it's fairly challenging to find descents where you can descend at a (vertical) rate of 1m/sec (or faster!), so roughly 1000ft in 5mins. The longer the descent is the harder it is to achieve.
I set one up in the Ochils today on a classic downhill (part of The Law Breaker Race)...

No doubt the Alva Games descent just along the road would be fairly rapid in terms of vertical m/sec!
Or you can try this one in the Lakes...

Wonder what's the biggest descent in the UK which can be done at a vertical speed greater than 1m/sec? Tryfan downhill must fit the bill? Can The Ben be descended from top to road in just over 20mins?
Anyone else got any good downhill segments to have a go at?
