Did 78kph on stage 3, Villiersdorp to Greyton of this years Epic - was dropping my partner so there was no point going faster. There were some blokes who recorded over 100kph so if you really want to go fast on dirt I guess that is where you need to go.

Road 79Km/h odd down the hill out of pinetown during the tourdurban this year

MTB - 75 odd down that big hill in Ballito that goes past simbithi last year

 

80.3 on the same stretch this year- was a perfect day for a race hey? Used to drive up and down that hill every day for years when I lived in Westville North.

98 km/h, GoldenGate nature reserve following Chris Froome on the twisties.

 

We had to slow down, or hit the car we caught...

 

(I've had a front tyre burst at 70km/h at the Kremetart.  Be very, very careful.)

Not my fastest but I did 77km/h on Hendrik Potgieter past "The Ball and Bucket" on Saturday morning. I was slipstreaming a truck. It was a cross wind so I could stay in the yellow line so don't worry.
