Generally a bit tough, probably due to the hard training. OK slow cooked in red wine with mushrooms.

Shows just how seriously you're taking this.
I have given my views on this matter no wish to keep on milking it.

So you keep saying, put another record on.
And we keep saying go and buy a speed pedelec, but you never do.
Stop whittling and get your wallet out, then tell us what its like.

Nope, and I do want to break NSL someday. 57 mph is pretty close - a good tailwind down Fleet Moss would probably have done it.
Drafting isn't illegal of itself, of course the tailgating aspect could get you done for careless cycling. Didn't stop me drafting an HGV to 48 mph on the Oxford Ring Road 👍
Note that due to the nature of drafting, I was still pedalling the damn thing! You think that you'd still be able to pedal a bike at speeds that it wasn't designed for...
I wouldn't call 50 mph routine, but I've broken it numerous times, and come close yet more.

One day you'll do it.
Not notice and only when you check your speed afterwards will you realise.

Well this is what it says
”Whosoever, having the charge of any carriage or vehicle, shall by wanton or furious driving or racing, or other wilful misconduct, or by wilful neglect, do or cause to be done any bodily harm to any person whatsoever, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and being convicted thereof shall be liable, at the discretion of the court, to be imprisoned for any term not exceeding two years, . .”
Firstly you have to cause bodily harm to a third party. You cannot be prosecuted for driving furiously unless in doing so you injure a third party. No injury no offence.
Note the bits about wilful neglect. The well known case was more about wilful neglect as the rider made no attempt to brake when they had time to do so before hitting a pedestrian

Am I alone in not liking exceeding 25mph on my bike?
Whether I am or not that's fast enough for me.
