DiabloScott said:Never even came close to winning anything, but 35mph was typically my top speed in a flat sprint (for about 5 seconds on the few occaisions I was still there)... usually followed by a wave of nausea. Of course that was when 52x13 was the biggest gear.
I currently hit 45 pretty regularly on a good descent in a good tuck... I can't imagine doing that with two dozen elbows trying to stop me.
Thanks for thinking of me though Lim!
You're one of the posters who came to mind when I was asked that question.
Cards on the table here : I am not brave (mad ???) or talented enough to ever be in bunch sprint.
I can descend climbs pretty quickly - have managed 35-45mph downhill.
