you're so mean! Dropping your friend like that
Seriously though 30mph is possible easily depending on the tailwind. I forget exactly when but about last year it was really windy here in SoCal and I remember going at least 30mph down a flat stretch where I usually do 20-23.
Strong enough tailwind and anything is possible...Except the ride back into the massive headwind
