Speaking of trikes, which I was, I hit 53.9 mph today in tabletop flat Illinois.

This was actually an issue when I was at a w/kg competition at a local LBS bike shop. One of the guys there was a pro who weighed about 120 lbs soaking wet and he was throwing down 700+ watts and it was moving all over the place. Granted there was no mat underneath it which would have likely helped a ton.

Sunday, Mrs. Doug28450 and I went to the annual town festival. I find this event amusing and disgusting at the same time and typically enjoy watching the people.
We decided to get food while we were there. I got a Cuban sandwich. It was not a Cuban.

I wonder if @Trsnrtr has an ambulance following him as a SAG wagon.

Cycling is more than average speed. It's being one with nature and being in the moment. It's about the synergy of man and machine. It's about cleansing the soul and introspective thought. It's about thrilling downhills and struggling up hills.
Seriously, when I ride a trike, average speed is the furthest thing from my mind. It's what got me through two bouts of cancer treatments and surgery recoveries and trauma recovery.
It's also impossible to ride a trike without grinning and laughing.

I can't answer anymore questions. I'm heading out the door with my wife for a tandem ride. 
will be on my mind, not average speed.
