    Spud - forgot what great product placement that was for CinZano! Wow, they were ahead of the times in this movie with brand building.

    65 mph on an 8 percent grade and a hellacious tailwind to boot. Not interested in trying to repeat.

    How about fastest descelleration from top speed to zero?

    Mine coming down a bridge ramp with good tailwind, probably doing around 60kph or so. Just as we hit bottom of ramp this car start pulling out of parking bay not seeing our group. No time or space to brake, I try to get around it but have another guy to my left. Bumper (80's kind) hooks my right pedal, instantly bike goes from 60 to 0 while I continue. The kind of flying where you actually have time to think about it and plan your impact. The latter were some beautifully executed rolls before planting my face on pavement on final one.

    JP, I hope you were not in the fast lane. 68 in socal is way too slow for the left lane! Hell I drove to LA to pick up our dog on Monday and 77 was too slow for the car pool lane.
