what has was your top speed? today I came flying down the hill today on a 15 mile training ride and slowed down for a red light, the light changed to green an my training parnter went by me...I sprinted by her...showing off a little on a slight downhill...the road got steeper and my speed shot up. I looked down as I went by my training parnter at 28 mph, as I went down the hill the wind was blowing hard, and the road was a sweeping turn. a few weeks early, the road was all dug up and the repaving is uneven. I noticed that the handling felt very quick and I was having a hard time with the wind, uneven paving and sweeping turn...I looked down and saw 50 on my computer. I grabed the brakes to bleed some speed and got it down to 40 when a big gust of wind hits me...I had a good grip on the hoods and hung on tight.

I remember getting gut to 48 mph before, I think this is the first time at 50. I don't remember the handling problems at high speed before, but on previous occussions, it was on different bikes and different conditions. I'm going bring my other bike on this training ride next week for comparison.

so what are your experences at high speed?
