The Hour Record

Chap at Newport today was training for a masters 60+ hour record attempt, looked pretty good.

Not sure on the age cat, but this guy did 177 laps today in MCR for an hour record. He's thinking of another go to hit 180 laps.

Who was it? What bike/kit was he on?

Just look at the photo.

A guy called Mike, Macclesfield Wheelers. I didn't want to intrude with many pics but got this other one as he was rolling around to start.

There was an 'official' photographer so there's better pics out there.

There's an attempt at the 35-39 record (male i think) in the schedule for World Masters in Manchester 06/10/15

an attempt at the 35-39 record

Doesn't Sir Bradley already hold that by default, since he was 35 years old when he set the UCI record?

Are the AG not seperate to Pro riders? I'll double check the info I saw this afternoon...

Wiggo defo (maybe) not holder of Masters 35-39

UCI age groups are moronic. Kent Bostick would make all those slow young people disappear off the record books if it were the VTTA :-)

UCI vs VTTA = PDA vs BDO ?

Is there a side by side comparison table for age group records across the 2 organisations?

Is there a side by side comparison table for age group records across the 2 organisations?

No, you'd have to compile it from the VTTA records page, and VTTA maintain separate indoor and outdoor records. What they have in their favour over age-groupers is that a VTTA record stands for all ages below your actual age at which a better performance has not been set, so for example nobody under 59 will be awarded a VTTA indoor hour record unless they exceed K.Gill's 27.144 miles (43.675km)

^ understood (a bit more), Mike of Macc Wheelers went further I think?

Steve Bale just missed Jayson Austin's record then, where did you find out about a 35-39 record at Worlds?
