I've been in many races with descents over 50. Anyone who isn't comfortable going that fast shouldn't bother doing any races with any kind of hill in it.

Ever do the LA Circuit Race? 2 U-turns per 4 mile lap, usually with a 20+ mph wind going one direction, so half of the course is around 12-15 mph while the other side is 40+.
