Under the right conditions, 117kph. But I have to draft @REDMASTA at 87 before my epic attack, and even then I can't sustain it for more than about 90 minutes. Hilariously, someone was glued to my rear wheel last time out and he blasted by me just when I thought all was golden. Might have been the OP, but unsure. Either way that guy was doing 140+ and I'd really appreciate it if he'd ID himself so's I can keep an eye out next time.
