I'm probably at 175rpm when I pass the camera @ 20 seconds into the outdoors video. I topped out at 37.5 mph in a 70 inch gear before we hit the wall and then high torque. I don't think I could hold that pace HC for more than 30". I find it very stressful to stay on top of the pedals on screaming descents. My coach calls those efforts flip/flops. The second video shows his trainer class doing the same going from HC of 140 in our easiest gear for 1' then to the over gear of 53/11 or 12 for 1' @ 60 rpm x 6 cycles for the set. I'm in the front row, 2nd from the left just as handsome as usual.
