moonshine,
before this thread is derailed, I do sympathise with you. I have a 20% gradient where I always aim to go up before heading home. It is a total beast of a hill and I've biked down it. Its windey as well which makes it more interesting.
All I say is that sometimes the risks are not worth it and taking it easy downhill is sometimes better.
Still this could open up a hill porn thread!!!!

Just remember to keep looking about 10 metres in front when downhilling at speed so you can take emergency action if required. Like pot holes. drains and cats!
