Did you miss a comma there?

No. Do you miss your brain cells?

I did get knocked out at the weekend (bad line in to a rock garden, didn't go well) but I'm not convinced you haven't missed a comma.

Not necessarily - you might ride on some flat

The Rookie

No roadies ride on the flat, we ride on the level occasionally but it is rarely if ever flat!

The fact the OP used downhill and not Downhill made his meaning self evident to all but a Mor....argh yes er RMSC.

To the OP,
Sounds like you have it pretty much spot on.

I live at the top of a hill so I normally ride uphill after I've ridden downhill. But I never ride 'Downhill', balls too small.

And, though not necessary, you could have used a comma.

Superfluous commas are as bad as missing commas. But I think he was missing a ? Which turned his sarcastic question into a statement of agreement.
So fail.

To the OP. Firstly, nice one! You appear to have it nailed. Secondly, havnig had your query answered fairly early on, how about renaming this The-Explanation-Of-Downhill-And-Punctuation-Thread?

I must commend you on excellent use of language and punctuation.
Such a pity about the spelling mistake.
9/10. Keep it up.
