I entered into a 64km/39.7mile time trial 3 weeks ago in a fully faired recumbent tadpole trike.

I traveled the distance in 70minutes, with a top speed of 96kmh/59.6mph and an average of 54.85kmh/34.1mph. Generally, my speed on the flats was 70kmh/43.5mph whilst I was pulling 35kmh/21.7mph up some steep hills. I wouldn't climb up them as fast on a DF anyway!

My team mate did it even faster, taking 5 minutes from my time. His average was 59.1kmh/36.7mph over the 64km course

Here's a pic;
If you're not convinced of the speed in this pic, just check out the side windows

And a pretty cruddy, and potentially inaccessible mobile phone vid comprising of myself and my teammate;
