      Man, I had the same battle cry from my brakes after riding Angel Fire, South Boundary, Purgatory, and The Whole Enchilada in Moab (11 miles of descending in one ride!) in five days. They just got so hot from slowing my 215lb self down from 40mph repeatedly that they just clocked out and went home :-D

    I totally respect your decision to quit last year. More important than anything: live to ride another day. I had the same thing on my ride today, with a little dew making the roots slippery at Jack Brooks park, and my tires collecting a bit of thin surface mud and leaves, I did not feel I could safely attempt the black trails, so I called it quits after my warm up lap and came home.
