Man some of these guys are amazing athletes! Both must have crazy good cycling genetics!
Good tail wind? Once rode at 40mph for close to an hour with a really sweet tail wind, almost gave up several times and debated calling for a ride home for the ride back, just figured the roomies wouldn't be home to give me a lift. Its made me wonder how fast someone riding a plains state from west to east in a wind storm could really go. I'd imagine on the right road maintaining over 40mph in a wind storm wouldn't be unreasonable as long as you don't average the return trip in, technically it would also be unassisted.
