oldwomanc6 38 #2 November 21, 2013 I've gone 65 mph on my bicycle, but this is crazy scary without any way to keep folks from squirting over the edge, and if they make it all the way to the bottom, stopping at the end. * *the press is ignorant at best, sensationalist as a reasonable assumption, and then there are a bunch who plain old lie to create a story.lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryoder 1,384 #3 November 21, 2013 oldwomanc6 I've gone 65 mph on my bicycle... Dammit.I've only done 55mph, mainly because all the steepest roads around here are full of hairpin turns, and none of the straight roads are steep enough."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

oldwomanc6 38 #5 November 21, 2013 Morongo Grade. It actually was 68 mph.(according to my Cateye), but I thought no one would believe it. Both mrowc6 and myself showed the same. Tucked up and praying! If you want to go fast and straight, that's the road!!!! This was is the late 80'slisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GogglesnTeeth 6 #10 November 21, 2013 I did 45 on my mountain bike on a street in Seattle going down a rather step hill I lived on. Bottom of the hill..... stop sign.
