More recently, there was a hill on Day 2 of the Houston-Austin MS150 on FM 153 east of Buescher State Park. 45+ was no problem. That is far more reasonable....

I hit exactly 100 kph (62 mph) while passing a truck on Col de Galibier in France. It still scares me to think about it. Won't do that again. But I didn't know how fast I was going until the German guy I was riding with told me afterwards. He was stoked.
