It was downhill. According to the data I peaked around 40 and was going 36 at impact.
First, glad you are okay as are the others, I hope the guy who went to hospital is okay as well.
Watching the video I was amazed at how fast that guy came from nowhere. I had to watch several times before, and this was before you went back to watch on the video, to see where he came from. I didn't really understand at first why he was so slow or who is even was.
But....I was going to post the 40mph claim as well. And not as being a smartass either. Just that you said you were not in a sprint and yet elsewhere I thought I read in a thread reaching 40 moh was not all that easy.
I am not a racer nor group rider so these speeds are not in my bag of tricks, so to speak.
Again glad you are okay. Heal well and fast.
Thanks for the clarification.
