49.7mph Coming down Cefn Bryn on Gower. Tailwind on my MTB.
I don’t believe you at all, I’m afraid. If you had a tailwind, you were likely to be going down the north side, and it’s simply not long enough and certainly not steep enough to hit 50mph on a MTB* – maybe just possible on a road bike. If you were on the south side, it’s steeper but much shorter, so even less chance there. Btw, I’m assuming you are talking about the road off the Bryn – if you were off road then you really need to get a new computer.
The only roads locally where I’d regularly get that sort of speed are north of Swansea, with much longer descents.
* we are talking about 500m in distance before a sharpish left and then another 500m before the road begins to level out, with a total drop to that point of 60m.
