I got sent a postcard from the organisers of the hilly local bike ride I did last summer, and this is the picture on it. We went down this section of road, at a comfortable 30+mph - it would have been easy to go faster still, but less easy to do that under sufficient control of the bike! But that's the joy of gravity when you've just slogged your way up something.
It's long overdue that I look into the details of entry for this year, though I seem to recall there was a suggestion of going the other way round this route. Which would make for the potential of 50+mph going down the other side of this, and that's an interesting prospect to say the least!
