Can do 35mph on the flat on the road bike. Have hit 55mph downhill with the wind behind me. Unfortunately, Scottish hills tend to have corners which prevent me going any quicker.
Friend of mine, who is his late 60s, was telling me of trip to the Pyranees (sp?) with his road bike. He used the phrase '…doing 78mph. I could have gone faster but I got scared.' 8OHope I'm like that at his age.
As for speed cameras, anyone know the one on Bracebridge Hill going down into Lincoln? 30 zone, went passed that at 42mph and completely failed to set it off, quite disapointed.
