yeah, how fast you can go, or are willing to go, down hill should be a separate thread. Would be an interesting one, too.
FWIW I average a burning 11 mph over the course of most rides. That always includes hills. On flats I can burn the pavement at 14 or 15. It's been consistent for years, I haven't really tried to up my speed, it's not something I care much about.
