I hit 50 back in my college days when I didn't wear a helmet and wasn't on thinners. 49 coming into Ticonderoga, NY, while crossing the country. Top speed of the entire trip.
Slowing down a fully-loaded bike from 42 to take a photo has it's issues, but worth it. It was interesting because I had ridden that same descent 16 years earlier to the very day. Back then, the peaks were still completely covered in a lot of snow despite a relatively mild winter snow-wise.
