What is the fastest speed you have cycled ??

[CycleD]

32.6 mph going down a short steep hill which at the bottom has a very sharp turn on a blind bend so braking for me is a must... if the hill carried on straight i probably would be hitting between 35/40 mph.

 

[Bonefish Blues]

Fast enough that I couldn't hear Mrs BFB screaming on the back

 

[Hill Wimp]

Apparently 74mph last Wednesday out on a ride with @Salty seadog.
















I may have forgotten to turn off Map My Ride on the train

that was some seriously hard work.

 

[adamangler]

About 45 down Holme moss. But 35mph is really my comfort limit. Start to reach for the brakes after that

 

[Winnershsaint]

81.5kmph Col d'Ornon
71.2kmph Alpe d'Huez
75.2kmph Les Deux Alpes
67.3kmph Cote de Garcin

Follows a 50kmph decent from Vaujany Ski Station. First Alpine descent. Scary! Got better as week went on.

Low 80s (kilometres - don't recall exact figure) on a tourer coming down a pass in the Vosges during the summer of 2000. Scared myself silly.

The Alpe descent was probably the scariest due to the hairpins. 1 hr 45 to get up 20mins to get down.

I've no real idea because we didn't have any way of measuring it back when I was at my peak in my youth, but it was certainly down the Chevin into Otley in Yorkshire - it was about the only time I could spin out on my big Campag road race chainwheel, and had to overtake cars. It must have been 40mph or more.

Recently, 30.4mph last weekend - on a long downhill.

 

[Tenacious Sloth]

48mph descending Glenshee during LEJOG.

If I'd realised I was that close to 50mph I'd have pushed on a bit, but I was too busy hanging on for grim death to risk a glance at my Mio.

I did 35mph on my trike yesterday being only 6 inches off the ground it felt like more

I hope you brought an ice pack for your smoking hot knees...
