How fast is TOO FAST for the street?
I have gone on more than a few group rides where we have easily done 70 in a 45 zone or 110 in a 70. I understand that the best place for all this is a racetrack but during a spirited group ride how fast is considered too fast?
Of course the obvious heavy traffic areas, rush hour, school areas are out of the question but what about places away from city traffic? Because im sure from a legal perspective even away from a big city doing twice the speed limit is likely to get you into serious trouble if you get busted. So how fast do you normally ride when out in the open away from lots of traffic? |

120s in a 30 on a road that wasn't a flat straight interstate.

I do the speed limits or pretty close to it on the straights. If I'm gonna get a ticket, I want it to be for cornering fun, not straight line.

5-10 over for the average ride. There may be a high speed run on an open flat secluded straight.

I do speed some, and I also pass on double yellows sometimes, but I like to think I'm not doing it irresponsibly. I'd be lying if I said I'd never seen triple digits on the street, but I can count the number of times I've done it on one hand.

All my group rides have a straightaway limit. Sometimes my one on ones are just a measure each other up limit. If your going to fast for your skill set it doesn't matter where your riding. Have the good sense and maturity to know your limit THAT DAY (cause mine varies) and the circumstances/situation of the ride and back it down a notch...
