I've also been down a hill in france that i've hit over 90mph. A bit cold at that speed! There’s a hill in the UK that I’ve hit 74.8mph, this was in a 30 mph zone!

Got up to 70 kph on a tandem once - then someone else on another tandem shot past me.

I did it on a regular base when i lived 300 m above the city, and riding down almost every day I passed cars while ringing a wheel-driven-bell (VERY VERRY LOUD!!). Now, living on the flat base of the valley and riding a 'bent, I get 70 km/h just when riding down deposits of old mudflows, nowadays covered by roads. It's fun, I won't crap my pants because of that ;-) 70 in real units (that is 70 km/h) is real fun on a bike.

Worst part was a hairpin with cobblestones about half way down where the bike hopped on across the road. I was too concerned with getting down alive to even think about looking at the computer to check speed.

I've been amazed watching the tucks some racers get into, sitting on the top tube of the bike and hiding behind the bars! I bet you could get more “aero” – that may well help you go faster.
