Um... you + bike + 105 mph + parked car = death


But yeah, the fastest I've recorded is 43 mph.

U/17 gearing cept 12t unlocked for fun (42:12)

downhill: 83.8km/h slingshot drafting in a race (wasn't a big race, otherwise I probably would have been pedalling) past a climber who was nice enough to attack and drag me up the hill.

Flat: 72km/h sprint, granted it was behind a truck, but I couldn't have spun any more on that one.

Flat: non-aided sprint, in a cross/tail wind at the end of a crit, 62km/h. That was fun. I love crits in my club cause my rivals are time triallists and climbers so if I stick with them in a road race I stand a chance.

Favourite: ~50km/h up a 4% grade for 300m every Sunday morning (speed changes due to conditions). On that particular road that is faster than the legal speed limit so I have lost count of the risky maneuvers around p***ed off drivers I have pulled to get up the hill. Not recommended but bloody fun.

I can hit 40 on two different hills, not even a mile long. One is about 200 meters, the other maybe 500. Proably could've gone faster if I was running a lower gear, like an 11. REMINDER!!!!! DESCEND WITH KNEES TOUCHING TOP TUBE, PREVENTS WOBBLE AT HIGH SPEEDS.
