56 mph on road. I was going faster than the 55mph speed limit
. It wasn't really steep, but I was pedaling as fast as I could, pretty much spinning in 50X11.And I can pretty much hit 35 often on the MTB.

49.5 on the bottom part of mathis. Early 90's that part of the trail was smoother and less rutted than it is today. Had a 52 tooth front chainring and just hammered it; no suspension just hanging on for dear life at the bottom. A moment not to be forgotten!

That sounds like a good time, but how fast have you gone?

47 mph on the Kamikaze for me. (Was pacing Happy Gilmore) I think you can go even faster on Canyon road that starts at the end of shotgun and runs down the the village shuttle pickup. 70+ on skis back when I used to race. |
