No. He competed in an existing category. You can check at the UCI website or at worldmasters.com. 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 Warren, Help him out here a little.... http://www.cyclingmasters.com/results/records.html Scott Interesting--particularly the team sprint--135+ years. Is that combined age or a misprint? Combined age of all three riders must be at least that number.

Do some research. I did some research. The hour record holder in the 30-34 age category is a chap named Rominger. He went 55.291 km, which far outdistances Curtis' mark of 47.764 km. He was 33 at the time. I believe he was also a world class rider in his age group. The UCI should stop recognizing records that aren't records. Bob Schwartz |
