What Goes Up Must Come Down!
- Of course you must be able to climb big hills fast to be a TDF contender, but have you ever thought about how fast they go downhill? Riding downhill, or "descending," is an extremely important skill. It takes nerve, guts, and great technical skill to descend with the best of them. The riders sometimes reach speeds of over 100 kilometers per hour. Convert that to miles per hour for a chilly downhill thrill!
