Wally Fowler covered 35.772km for the 80-84 record on Saturday, laying down 6km plus on the previous record that was broken only a few weeks ago. He sent me an email last night - apparently he cramped up in the final 10min which meant he couldn't push on for the 36km mark and had to just stick it out.
We'd done some aero testing on wheels with Wally beforehand and also tyre selection. I'll see him maybe this week, be interested to see if he wants another go but he's really shelved it - that might be the biggest hour record increase in distance ever but will have to check.
