46 mph.  74 kph.  New fastest-speed-ever on a bike, courtesy of the A39 run into Wells.  The old record had stood since '01.  It is a simple thing, and it makes me smile.  That bike will be stable up to fifty, so I might have to visit [personal profile] skean and try out his mountain descent...

11%, not too steep but on the end of a really good run-out. I need some Continental plummets. Or maybe Scots..?

Nice! I've only ever done a 7%, and it's been a while. The area was fantastic, though, because it was a few miles long, with hills on both sides and a mostly level, mile-long stretch between.

At the top of the loop, there's an old ski-jump they've recently refurbished. I imagine that would be a trip to ride down on a bike...

A junker and a parachute, maybe...
