Only time I ever hit 50mph I was pedaling my heart out, on Carmel Mountain Road downhill westbound towards PQ blvd with a santa ana at my back.
(And even there, my cyclocomputer was accidentally set for B wheels (26"), to get to 50 I had to math it up to 700 and round up from like 49.8 or something)

My max is 49.9 mph on the descent from Onyx Summit toward the Santa Ana River. I wasn't looking at the speedo at the time, saw it on Strava later after uploading. If I'd known I might have pushed for an even 50! But looking ahead at the road is a bit more of a priority at that speed.
