Grammar
Down / to / across
I prefer to ride my bike down / to / across the hill.
Which preposition is correct, please?
I think all are correct with different meanings.
Thanks.

"to the hill" is possible, but perhaps feels a little unusual since a hill is not very commonly thought of as a destination. "across the hill" is also possible, but more often we would say "over the hill". "down the hill" is fine.
