Yep, that's fast.

If you fall off the bike at 96mph...................

Impressive video though.

Impressive, even more impressive if she rode back up.

Probably hit 100 by loosing that useless visor and keeping the elbows in.

Wonder how fast with a skinsuit, aero helment and disk wheels?

and a pack of really fast mean dogs chasing.

Hang on - that radar is measuring speed in kilometers per hour 96kph = 60mph, that is still freaking fast on singletrack, but nowhere near record speeds. That visor would probably rip off and the hooded jacket explode near 100mph.

According to wikipedia the record speed on gravel is 102.5mph.

Some pretty scary looking descents in this video. Notice the rear wheel on the first descent in the snow.
