Post your best speeds, times what have you! Read a similar post on the other forum so just got curious about this group.:rolleyes:

Highest downhill speed was 56 mph on our tandem. Thank goodness the hill was only one mile.

Highest on single 46 mph.

Highest average 10 mile flat stretch (SART bridge to bridge) from dead stop is 22.6 mph.

Highest average 60 miler (Greenriver to HB) with 2 other riders is 19.6 average.

Best time on Ride Around the Bear Century (nearly 10k of climbing) was 7:38 official time.

Best solo century (SART Flat) was 5:45 time.

Highest speed on the flats (SART) was 32 mph at the end of a 42 mile ride.

Best GMR time ( 21 miles/gate to gate) was 2:06

Gina's best push was 29mph on the SART on the final sprint of a ride.

Gina's best average on 42 mile SART ride was 18.1 average.

I know there are plenty faster guys and gals, but always entertaining to know how we compare to others!:D
