New Fastest Speed
So on my Century Saturday, there were some pretty steep descents. I'm pretty comfortable up to about 35mph, if I can see ahead, if the road isn't curvy. To gain time, though, I tried to descend as quickly as possible, but erring on the side of caution. I saw after the first big descent that I had reached a speed of 39.8- I was thinking, oh, if I had only gone a little faster! But later, without even trying, I hit 41.6!!! (Yeah, I know some people can go 60) Luckily, the cars are driving slowly, and I just stay in the middle of the lane so they won't be tempted to try to pass. It's so cool...
