Congratulations to John.

Well yeah, but Chris Boardman did 45:57 in 1993 and other (less well
known) riders in the UK have beaten it too. *Do you really ride time
trials just straight out, no turns? *How wonderfully American, boring
as ****...

4th of July celebrations in the UK suck. *It's like you guys don't
even care at all.

In the UK, the 4th of July is called Thanksgiving.

Letter of the Week :-)

It's a damned good thing the British got their
independence from the Americans on July 4th,
so they could turn around and sell it to
Rupert Murdoch for a mess of pottage and a
Page 3 Girl.

Yeah, but aren't the records being set in categories that have only
just recently been taken seriously, e.g. most of the older masters
categories?

It's up for debate, but I'd say that, e.g., the tandem records or the
younger masters women's records have been "taken seriously" for quite
some time.

Perhaps, but who takes the 90+ Tandem record seriously?

Hi Robert,

John Frey for one.

And as it turns out, not just last year:

According to an email I just received, today Frey/Corcoran took
another run at the 90+ tandem record on a new custom-built Dave Porter
tandem (as did Nico Toutenhoofd and his stoker on a really sweet
Tiemeyer aero tandem). Alas, it proved to be quite windy today, so our
record from last year (when John Verheul and I beat Frey/Corcoran by
10 s) still stands.

Must have missed that news due to all the writeups about RAAM.

What struck me as I scanned the results wasn't the times. It was the
ages of the entrants. That's a bigger threat to the event than the
road surface.

Dumbass,

As you should've figured out by now, that's not Andy's problem. That's a
photo of Frey and Corcoran, who were trying to break the US Tandem 90+
record currently held by Cooglian and Vertool.
