So we do this 3 or 4 times a year. From the top of Mt Wellington in Hobart, Tasmania. 15 miles of downhill, 4200ft elevation loss, anywhere from 5 to 8 pubs, ending up in the city center.
Was a slow run this time, my maximum speed was only 35mph, I've done 40 before.
i only rode this once. there was a side build off on rat rod bikes were we made gravity bikes. we tried to use the gravity bike rules that were around at the time, mainly about wheelbase and size. i actually made two (one used a occ chopper rear wheel), but there's no good place nearby to ride it.
