Some are more memorable than others. As described, the 25 stands out in the memory. The 10 I know what time I did, but it was just one of several very similar rides on the same course and the different memories of those tend to get conflated - was it the one my brother promoted, the one where the comp record was broken, the one where I knew at the end of the entry slip after less than a minute that I was on a ride? The 50 I have to look up to even see what time it was (and it was nothing special) and I don't recall any particular moment - I've covered some parts of the A31 at least 80 times this century, so they definitely tend to merge in to one recurring nightmare.
