The M5 would have been terrifying! It was on the descent from Stow to Lauder - an old favourite for high speed jinks. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19892#post-315649 Fri, 11 Oct 2019 17:31:59 +0000 LaidBack 315649@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If you had been on your M5 CHR then you would have been easily 50mph+ then as much more aero!<br /> For an ICE touring trike that is a pretty good considering you're rolling on two 20" front and a 26" rear wheel with 36 spokes on each. What stretch was it on? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19892#post-315623 Fri, 11 Oct 2019 13:21:14 +0000 nobrakes 315623@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>46 mph today - on my normally rather slow trike. Much fun had! </p>
