What is the fastest speed you have cycled ??

[outlash]

36 mph from Hogg hill in Hainault down the long staight hill that is forest road towards Barkingside. I had only been back on a bike for a short while after many years. I was riding a Triban 5 on its "maiden voyage"

If that's your locale, you want to get over to high beach, Mott Street in particular.

According to Strava it was 84mph on the millpond flat Marathon course!!

Thanks for the tip, i was over high beach a couple of weeks ago with my wife and our off road bikes. Nice sunny afternoon in the Royal Oaks garden with a couple of beers to follow. I live near Romford.

83.5km/h last week, from Mont Ventoux down to Malaucene. That's a FAST route.

One of the others in my cycling tour group reached 91. He's one of those daring Brits.

My maximum on that route down from Mount Ventoux is only 55.4 km/h. Although I was on a Bickerton and the front wheel was starting to get a bit twitchy.

No way

No way

Really?? Haha it's an obvious spike on Strava.

Would have been nice though....!

Would be scary
Everything would be a blur on your re-entry

The stock Kenda's on the bike coped quite well though!

A brief check shows 35mph on the fixed (67") and 54mph on gears. I have been faster: once clocked 44mph on the fixed, but I don't think I could do that now (it was probably about 20 years ago).

 

[rovers1875]

46.8 a few weeks ago coming down Past Lords House farm, Whilpshire Rd, Rishton. Me and a mate came down from the Ski station on Cairngorm to Aviemore and he reckoned we passed 50, but I did not have a computer on the bike at the time so I could not confirm this. On both occasions it was arse sucking the saddle time.

 

[winjim]

That's definitely cheating! ;-)

It was a downhill challenge, not an uphill one :-)

 

[Jenkins]

I've topped out at 41.5mph here and 41.3mph here which isn't bad for the short downhill stretches we get in Suffolk.

I do have one Garmin data blip that shows 72mph on the flat.

 

[smutchin]

get a tug from Mr Plod

You are George Michael AICMFP

 

[smutchin]

35.53mph. On 67" fixed gear.

There has to be a corollary thread for highest cadence...

I've never cracked 200rpm but have been close a few times.
