one hour world record Backwards cycling attempt on August 25 in Millbrook, UK

Bicycling in the UK with one purpose: to bike history! This must become the ultimate Backwards cycling one hour World record. At least the first Backwards cyclist who passes the 30-k. line!

Press release

Last year, Pieter de Hart (NL) realised an one hour World record cycling, with 26,948 k. In May 2003 his record was improved: 29,1 k. is now the distance to beat.

That recordholder must be Chris Boardman (UK)! With -indoor- 49,441 k., already since October 27, 2000!?

Both right. Chris, however, was sitting on the saddle while he was bicycling. And Pieter? He was sitting on his... handlebars. He is worlds first Backwards one hour World recordholder! And, he wants to become it in 2003 for the third time. More info? Please click http://www.kelimutu.com

The exercycling for new records is going on since. This year Pieter plans pushing his limits and pass the impossible: he is thinking of an average of more than 30 k. in sixty minutes!

So, the record wheels start rolling again. This Summer the World record attempt will take place in: Millbrook (Bedfordshire), United Kingdom. On the 2 mile Oval, the High/Constant Speed Circuit, of the Millbrook Proving Ground (http://www.millbrook.co.uk)
Date: Monday, August 25, 2003
Start: Approx. 08.30 hrs. -local time-
And, Pieter is of course sitting again on the handlebars.

Bicycling in the UK with one purpose: to bike history! This must become the ultimate Backwards Cycling one hour World record. At least the first Backwards cyclist who passes the 30-k. line! But, success is not only a matter of the condition, it depends also on weather: dry weather and no wind are the conditions necessary. By the way: 25-08 is not only about the one hour World record. Pieter is also cycling the 50 k. distance with the record to beat: 1.46.59 hrs.
