Well....it sorta felt like it anyway.

With my new stem enabling me to feel balanced and be able to ride with my hands down in the drops for the first time, DH and I went on a beautiful ride through the country this afternoon. We climbed slowly for a couple of miles on gravel roads. Finally we got to paved road where it turned downhill in a spectacular descent with smooth road and great visibility (no blind curves)- perfect for getting some speed going.
I was very careful of course, and had the road all to myself, front, sides, and back. I just let 'er go and curled all the way down into the drops- s-m-o-o-t-h...the bike purred and then flew like the wind.

Well, near the end of the descent was one of those highway radar machines that tells you how fast you are going- and I was going 36 mph !!! WHOA!!!! Major milestone for me, faster than my wildest dreams (and it FELT wild all right). Not sure I'd EVER want to go faster than that- it felt more like 80mph. I'm just proud that I actually DID it, even if I never do it again. I normally am into easy going speeds. DH told me he got up to 30- and I told him my 36 and he was pretty amazed.
