    Strong correlation doesn't mean all.  There's enough room for a few outliers. Trogs would be another.

    Trogs has got to be the noisiest going down hill. I thought I was being chased by a banshee going down Ranmore on DB's ride. image

    Dustboy - am I right in thinking you are fairly local to me - Dorsetish? If so you want to get over to Abbotsbury hill, you'll shoot right up the list!

    Great stuff Schmunks. 

    Most I could get today was 29.8.  So close to the 30.  Don't know how I managed the 37 at the Vit - can't get near that now. But I went down the Richmond Park "scarey hill" without going on the brakes this morning so thats a step forward.  Felt less like I was on a runaway bike than before.

    !!!!!!   i have never seen this thread before   !!!!!   i love data.   but you know that im going to have to trawl through all my garmin logs now ,  iirc i had a few seconds at 994mph it may have been error so ill ignore that one. i did around 40 / 41 mph on the vit course the other week.  shouldnt there be 2 seperate tables for compacts - 50's  and 53's or whatever or do i have to invest in a new crank or even i new bike  image  if its a new bike you must also be willing to post reasons for my better half to read

    My fastest so far is 26.5mph but I have only used my Garmin on the bike 4 or 5 times. I am in a very hilly area, but most hills are far from straight down!

    ETA oops spelling!
