I was descending from Blackstone Edge [shown below] last year and felt like I was going fairly fast...
I looked down at the Garmin and saw that I was doing nearly 55 km/hr (34 miles/hr). Yeah, pretty fast. But then it struck me that I was actually doing 2 km/hr less than Ganna did when he broke the hour record...
Couple of years ago I went down the other side, towards Ripponden. Got a bit squeaky bum time at 60 KPH, sat up and feathered the brakes a bit only to be overtaken by a mountain biker at warp speed lots.
