My Garmin recorded a max speed yesterday of 71.1 mph. I wasn't speeding down a motorway with my bike in the boot of my car at the time, and I wasn't motorpacing around the velodrome along with Chris Hoy and Vicky Pendleton either. In fact, I was doing a gentle loop around Delamere. Therefore, I am reluctantly prepared to concede that this reading is inaccurate. I certainly haven't shown this kind of form in the club '10'! This has prompted me to ask the following question. I would like to know what is your fastest downhill max speed? Who has the club record for the fastest max speed on a bike?
Please do not go out today and try to improve your time, have a big speed wobble, crash, and blame me! You may get a prize at the club dinner, but it won't be worth it!

I don't think I'll top your record, my best is only 53mph - achieved whilst decending from Shap summit towards Kendal on the A6 after the Kent Valley RC Hill Climb on 3/5/10. There was also a strong tailwind push me along.
