Originally posted by nocturnal A volcano, a good surface, little traffic and a straight section is what you need. I had no helmet and only a jersey next to my skin so crashing wasn't an option.
A while ago I undertook the police in the city at night with the help of a hurricane which crossed the Atlantic. I was 40+ mph in a 30mph zone but they didn't pull me for it. What a tailwind it was! 😀
Out closest big downhill requires a big climb. It's a good road, but halfway down there's a bend to the right and right in the middle of the bend, the otherwise smooth road has developed a bit if an indentation.
I have thought of going up there on a good day and painting the fence posts to alert me where that dip is. That would help with a faster descent, because I'd known what part of the road to avoid.
On one race here, with open roads, I was overtaking cars quite easily. Tail wind, descent, curvy road. Perfect for cycling!
