    The Monkey trail at cannoch has 3 long downhill sections mid way through. No idea what speed I got up to but its the fastest Ive been. Managed to pedal in top gear all the way down without touching the brakes. Even in top gear my legs were going as fast as they could spin

    Fastest off road was 40mph on a long smooth grassy field in the Yorkshire Dales didnt realise how fast I was going till it was time to brake just made it before the drystone wall welcomed me with open arms.

    Can't remember what the fastest I've been down the quarries was, something stupid.
    I do have this, however, from my first "proper" ride on the bike last year after I wrecked my knee. It was on the Marin trail
    Not too shabby for someone who'd not been near a bike in months, on a brand new machine 8)
    (yes I know it took a long time, but I could barely put any power down through the pedals, so the uphills were a grind!)

    I love going fast wether its down hill on road or track or even rocky stuff "i pedal til cant pedal no more" and no idea off actual speed but i know its fast.
    Did 40+ish on back lane with landy next to me guy shouted ur doing 40.
    Why is it brown pants stuff cant u lot ride or what, its only ped speed haha :D
    DHers are hitting 40+ on fast sections off the courses racing on like at Fort William. LOL
    I don't have a bike addiction problem.....bikes seems to have a problem with me.....it just can't seem to stay on.

    yeah but they have nice bikes, and they can wear body armour and still look cool.
