wow 60+ on a road bike is haulin balls, I've hit 50ish and I race,
but 60 is way PRO speed, if you have the hill do it, did a race in
Las Vagas and it was route 160? I hit 55mph.

make dure you have really nice tires and tubes, because if the tires
heat up and BLOW off its GAME OVER.. no leathers here. ;)

HAPPY Friday

In my stupid youth... i coasted down the east side of Tioga Pass in my 84,
hitting speeds of about 90 to 95. Wow, that was dumb. But then again, i
also biked down Tioga Pass and were passing cars, easily doing 60+ on 10mm
tires.....
