Mine is about 45mph too, I think. Must have the garmin activity somewhere.

I managed to set the speed cameras off in a 50 zone.

58.5 mph at night dropping into Death Valley while racing the Furnace Creek 508 in 1997.

Helmsdale 2018
Had 52mph coming off Glenshee many moons ago before gps and records.

 

[DCLane]

62mph in 2012 dropping into Otley.

These days, post a few downhill crashes, I rarely exceed 35mph.

Done 55 and 60 mph many years ago before GPS. Not a chance now, maybe 40 mph on a decent descent (like DCLane above). Got a pension to save up for, and a family.

45 felt sufficiently sphincter clenching and I haven't wanted to repeat the experience.

My top speed was 56mph, coming down Mont Vetoux towards Malaucene in 2004.
What an adrenaline rush.

50 for me, I was going for more but I had to brake for a car that overtook me at the top of the hill. I was going to be cheeky and pass them again but there was oncoming traffic as well.

I think I filmed it.

I do have a recording that goes over 50mph, but I think that was due to a GPS glitch. The fastest speed I am confident I have actually ridden at is 48.8mph on a downhill in Florida (yes, they do have some hills, just not very many) while on holiday last year.

I remember that hill, gratuitously added to the Cracker Swamp 1200k randonnee. It pretty much doubled the total climbing for the event.

Rather than top end, there has been times I've been held up by cars or motorbikes. We used to wait for the road to clear descending from top of Cat and Fiddle into Buxton as you were faster than cars, or bothering big motorbikes coming off Axe Edge
