I filmed that descent last year hitting 48, one-handed, praying my tires/wheels would hold.... Would have hit 50, but braked briefly at the top before letting it coast... The front end of the Xstream is too light to want to get into the mid-50s...!!!

So, FLZ, where is this video you speak of? I wish to live vicariously, since I am not doing Muenster this weekend. Besides if it is scary enough to view, then maybe Dave will decide discretion is the better part of valor and use his brakes and not try for a new land-speed record!

Nope! Not going to happen! I've scouted the hill in question, (I think) via google. I'll be running a GoPro on the bars so I won't have to one hand it.

Then what's the point!? Smiley

I once did 41.2 (or something like that) early in the morning and all I could see was the moonlit road in front of me. The lights I was using were nothing more that position lights...I was peddling like a madman (not even clipped in) on a 25 year old Infinity with my GEBE screaming! What a blast!

The look on his face was priceless. Semper Fi

You won't have any question in your mind when you get there. It is a freak compared to everything else. I'll warn you, the last time I was down that particular decline the asphalt was crap. I doubt seriously if Montague county has spent any money on improvements. It would be a hellishly poor choice for laying down some personal parchment.
