    46 mph today - on my normally rather slow trike. Much fun had!

    If you had been on your M5 CHR then you would have been easily 50mph+ then as much more aero!
    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?

    Kojaks and panniers, and also a bit of braking as I was scared the trike was going to lift a wheel. The M5 would have been terrifying! It was on the descent from Stow to Lauder - an old favourite for high speed jinks.
