Since I started back in June 34.9mph 26/10/12 had a 34.3 this month, but using an old computer back in 2008 I think i nudge 40mph but I cant be to sure of the accuracy.

I stopped doing those speeds when I got a speed/cadence sensor for the Garmin.http://app.strava.com/activities/30549437

Hit 50+ mph once descending Redstone Rigg in East Lothian with a tailwind.
Can't say I enjoyed going so fast that my eyes were rattling in their sockets. Not for me!

I've been to 80kmh (we measure in kmh here, I think that's about 50mph) Scared the hell out of me but it was a very short, sharp steep descent, so I knew it would only last for a little bit before it bottomed out.
We call it The Wall. Good to go down, no fun going up. That's when you realise that the 28 you put on isn't low enough!

This question re-appears every now and again on the forum.
Good for a little bit of willy waving
You shouldn't be getting your c*ck out at that speed it's dangerous.

There's a good reason the maximum speed limit for that road is 60km/h.

I got up to 33.9 mph today so I could do an early check on the wrist heart rate monitor I found yesterday.
I was wearing my regular sunglasses I use for cruising and it was cool out. My eyes were streaming tears. I have gone faster but I forget what my top is, but today doing 33.9 almost blind was sort of exciting. One day I am going to wear my helmet and see what I can really do.

Gosh..40mph? not me that's for sure.
Come close to 30mph on the flat but not managed it. Too old now anyway to reach that figure I think.
52.4mph with the Sunlight on the Eureka Anniversary ride last summer.
Wasnt totally flat out but there's some good descents in Wales... It's all about finding the right hill with the right surface and the best conditions.
Without any descent/wind I can sustain 25mph for a number of miles with the best bike on a flatish course, and could get over 30 for a short burst before running out of steam but 40 is a bit far-fetched for a non-pro mere mortal methinks. Definitely for me at the minute.

40mph may be pushing it, I admit. I'm not even sure I could manage 34/35mph to be honest but will give it a go for sh1ts and giggles next calm day we have. Will create a Strava segment to see.
