New Hour Record set in LA!
Selected quotes from cyclingnews.com:
"...Gunn now holds the world and USA record for 30-34 year old non-pro riders at 47.764 km, measured to the nearest meter. No rider has ever tried this so the bar as been set for some other riders to try and break this new world record..." So basically this guy created his own category and then set a "record" in it? Isn't this kind of like electing yourself president of your own imaginary country? "...He said it was harder then he thought it would be and if he ever tried it again he would train for it. Gunn wants to turn pro next season, thus he wanted to get this record as an amateur rider..." He would train for it? WTF? I guess even if he'd done a kilo and a half it'd still have been a record. I have decided to create a category of 36 year-old men who are over six feet tall and enjoy fast club rides. I will be setting my new hour record shortly in the Super WalMart parking lot. Look for the full report in CycleSport. I will then be soliciting offers from Pro Tour-qualified cycling teams. Nothing against Mr. Gunn but he's leading the pack for uber-fred. |

Not as bad as people who don't let ignorance of the relevant facts dissuade them from ranting about something they couldn't do themselves. Curtis is a world-class rider in his age group. Do some research. -WG |
