BRITONS! Forget the British Grand Prix and come to Palmer Park Velodrome in Reading on July 20th.
Not to watch the stick bike racing, though they tell me that this can be mildly entertaining, but
rather to support Claire King in her attempt to set a British Record for the Standing Start Hour.
Since there is no current British HPV Hour record, this in itself will not be so difficult, so she
will be tilting firstly at Jeannie Longo-Ciprelli's
29.93 mile "aero" upright record and secondly at Chris Boardman's 30.73 mile run which constitutes
the current record in the eyes of the UCI. Beating John Frey's 31.04 mile amateur aero bike
record would be a nice bonus too...
Claire will be riding Geoff Bird's HPV-Heaven streamliner, some details of which can be found here:
