I’ve ridden dego a lot over the last few years and I’ve heard lots of people me ton that it feels like all time us spent climbing. I think it’s because the descents are pretty smooth / not really technical that they can be covered very quickly. It does then seem like you spend very little time on the descents. In comparison, I rode at macc forest the other day and did the cat and fiddle loop. The steep descent back down is literally one rock to another, mega tricky and consequently pretty slow. It seemed like it took as long to get down as it did to do the climb up ( although two of us had a lie down mid way down, which showed us up) . overall I like dego, and at the end of the day you have to go up to come down!!
