I know it's an old post, but for the record...112km/h down Ashton hill in Sth Australia. 67.2mph I think that is?
92 Km/h down Mt Osmond on the freeway side. Could go faster but there is an intersection at the bottom and i wasn't to sure how much braking distance was required.pinarello65 said:I know it's an old post, but for the record...112km/h down Ashton hill in Sth Australia. 67.2mph I think that is?

I personally find that to be impressive seeing as there was no wind and a 0% grade
I one time fell over at a stop light because the clipless pedals were to tight and it was my first time riding with them. Does this count??ALAN OBRIEN said:can anyone go one better than what happened me?
I hit a lamp post feet-first on a UK dual carriageway at a little over 95 mph after first putting my fist through some illuminated steel street furniture, but that was when I sphinctered out on a bend and tried to brake from 115 on a Yamaha which doesn't really count... (safety tip: don't do it - it smarts). Worst cycling injury to date was endo-ing a Mk II Raleigh Chopper and doing a full face plant with half twist into the edge of the kerb. The subsequent eating through straw for a month stopped any form of active class participation at school and let me perform a plausible John Merrick impression for a while (silver linings).ALAN OBRIEN said:can anyone go one better than what happened me?
DrBorque said:I have managed to do 50.8 mph down a windey 17% hill, i had to do this on my MTB though because it ends in a hairpin turn and i needed the hydraulic disc brakes to slow me down for it ( i tried going down it on the road bike and i went straight over the hairpin and into a huge bush, must have been very funny to see). It's called Boxley hill, if you're ever in kent and near to Maidstone then check it out, you wont be dissapointed!
