My perfect course is one that HAS big jumps/drops and steep/tech sections, but not just that. I don't like courses where you're dragging the brakes all the time to control your speed and letting gravity do all the work. I like to have to work for my speed.
Not saying I want flat (or even uphill!) sections in courses, but sections which have a minimum of gradient, and make you work to get your speed up definitely work for me.
I think more people than admit it feel like this too, they're embarrassed to confess though...
It's not that I can't ride non-pedally courses, I just get a lot more satisfaction from a course that leaves me gasping for air by the end of it. I like a course that you can really "attack".
Anyone else want to 'fess up?
