I'm wondering how you were able to keep control on the 25% descent, when it

I never went fast and kept it very slow in the steep parts. It's simply a
matter of feeling the nuances of the traction through the bike, something I
imagine riding barefoot helps with. Tires are Schwalbe Duremes, so not
super aggressive (by mountain bike standards), but they have some decent

It's more than a matter of feeling the nuances of traction, if you haven't
got any. I recall a time where I was trying to ride my Atlantis down a
steep, sandy fire road. I had to crash the bike to stop; traction was just
absent. But I'm guessing that softness and width of tires, as well as lugs,

Absolutely, Anne. Once we pass the traction threshold, nuances of feeling
traction are moot. What I was trying to say is I go slow and use the
nuances of traction feel to know if/when I am nearing the threshold, then
slow down while brakes still work -- a strategy that does not work if above
