	Hour record - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The hour record for bicycles is the record for the longest distance cycled in one hour on a bicycle.
		The most famous hour record is for upright bicycles meeting the technical requirements of the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI).
		Merckx's hour record was set in Mexico City at an altitude of 2300 m (7546 ft).

		Phase two of the record began during the height of the war when Fausto Coppi broke the record of Maurice Archambaud by a scant 31 metres - the smallest breaking of the record until the year 2000 - of which more anon.
		Anquetil himself "broke" the record again in 1967, but in the confusion at the end of the hour, the correct drug-testing protocols were not followed and the record was never ratified.
		Finally, this second phase of record breaking was capped by the great Eddy Merckx, who broke the record at the end of his magnificent 1972 season, and promptly said that it had been the hardest event he had ever ridden.

	Cycling Hour Record - Fastest Man On Earth - 4of5 Cometh The Hour, Cometh the Man
		The list of previous record holders reads like a roll of honor of cycling's greatest names - Egg, Coppi, Merckx, Indurain and Rominger have all held the Hour Record since it was established with a mark of 35.325km/21.95 miles in 1893 by Henri Desgrange, who also founded the Tour de France.
		It was effectively replaced by the 'UCI Hour Record', which would have to be set by a traditional bicycle and outlawed the use of streamlining technology and bicycles constructed from high-tech materials such as Kevlar and carbon-fiber.
		In a bizarre twist to the event, it later emerged that up until two hours before his ride, Boardman had believed that whatever mark he set would be regarded as the new record.

	Dempsey - MacCready Hour Record Prize - Announcement
		Supplemental awards of $2,000 are being offered to any competitor who breaks an official hour record by 3%, during the period of the Prize.
		The traditional Cycling World Hour Record is the most famous in cycling, with records being kept as far back as 1876 when Frank Dodds of England pedaled 25.506 km (15.8 mph) on a high wheeler.
		The current hour record for traditional cycling is 56.137 km (34.882 mph), set by English professional Chris Boardman in 1996 on a conventional aero track racing bicycle.

	Ultracycling: 12 Hour Track Record
		I planned my 12-hour track record attempt on the weekend three weeks before the UMCA 24 TT Championship in Iowa, as it was supposed to be a good "dress rehearsal" or the last hard workout before The Event.
		One record was mine and the other was going to follow.
		The last two hours were unbelievable, with big support from the spectators and the crowd was getting bigger by the minute.

		The hour record is one of cycling's most prestigious events, and has been contested since 1876 when F.L. Dodds of England, riding a high-wheeled bicycle, became the first record holder, completing 26.508 km.
		These two records are significantly superior performances compared to the other records, which means that Boardman and Rominger had improved their stamina and fitness and not just their technology.
		Bassett et al concluded that the improvement in the cycling hour record seen in the last decade, compared to the ‘70s and ‘80s records achieved with traditional bicycles and racing positions, is 60% due to technology and 40% due to improved performance.

		The present UCI hour record is slower at 49+ km - since the year 2000, cyclists have had to ride an Eddy Merckx type standard diamond frame bike without aero wheels).
		The Hour Record Prize was first offered by two sponsors in 1999 by Ed Dempsey, a retired industrialist who holds numerous automotive World Records, and Dr. Paul MacCready of AeroVironment Inc., the winner of three Kremer Prizes for Human Powered Aircraft.
		From 1999 to 2004, the HPV Hour record has been broken four times.Ê Lars Teutenberg, a professional cyclist from Germany broke the record twice, at the Opel test track in Dudenhofen, Germany, pedaling the Vector Racing Teams' Whitehawk (81.158 km on 8 July 1999, and 82.601 km on 27 July 2002).

	The One Hour Record (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		I venture to say that this gap would not have been as great if both records, a) the one hour record (the UIC version) and b) the best world hour performance (which allows more modern equipment) had been set in Mexico City, but it still would be significant.
		My point here though is not about the people who hold the records, but the failure to make clear the effect of elevation on the UIC one hour record.
		Out of the 8 riders they studied from Bracke's world record setting hour ride in 1967 to Boardman's record in 1996, the riders produced largely identical results on this virtual reality even playing field, except for the notable exception of 2 riders who stand in a league of their own.

		The 32-year-old Englishman covered 49.442 kilometers (30.723 miles) in one hour, eclipsing the record of the legendary Belgian Eddy Merckx set in 1972 set in Mexico City of 49.431 kilometers (30.716 miles).
		It has ruled all future records must be set on an orthodox bicycle with a steel frame and devoid of any streamlining or aerodynamic aids.
		But a few hours before attempting the record he was told he had to surpass Merckx's standard to become the new record holder.

		On July 23, 1993 (using a "conventional" aero position), he pushed the Hour Record to 52.27 kilometers, outdistancing Obree by nearly a half mile.
		In September 2000, the UCI retired the WHR and Boardman's ride was dubbed the "Best Hour Performance." A new set of rules was established for the WHR: One had to use a bike virtually identical to Merckx's, right down to the frame construction and the number of spokes in the wheels.
		An announced Hour Record attempt in December of 2000 was scrapped, ostensibly because of a viral infection.

	24 Hour Speed Record (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Unlike any other record, the 24 hour speed record is one that can be broken in any place and at any time; it is not bound to the constraints of a start or finish point but instead boats race against the clock to cover as many miles as possible in a 24 hour period.
		This record was recently beaten when Telfonica Movistar sailed 530.19 nautical miles in a day in April.
		However, their ultimate aim for this record is to break through another milestone by sailing a total of more than 600 nautical miles in a day and ensuring that Mari Cha IV leaves its mark firmly stamped on this prestigious record.

		While athleticism is an essential component of record attempts, the key to these astounding records is the highly streamlined aerodynamic shell that encases the bikes.
