    Yes, I managed to get in an aero position on the drops and racked up 50.8 mph downhill (naturally)
    on the road today. So what, you might say---this was in north Texas! Yee Haw! It CAN be done here.
    The ironic thing is, the hill has a name: Nice Hill.

    According to my new wireless computer, I topped 335.5 yesterday...can't figure out what's so
    exciting about 50 :-)

    For one thing, your eyes are closer to the ground and every little obstruction on the road seems
    like a boulder just waiting to throw you into the next county.

    What gearing did you use? 52 x 13 + 170mm crank + 700c x 23?
