Schreck, George
I do not think anything can stop him, but I am willing to try anything
at this point. It would be an interesting category.

George,
Maybe if we introduced this to Northwest racing, we could beat David
Zimbelman for once???
His long legs wouldn't last being out of the saddle for so long :)
Or is that just wishful thinking??

Dutch rider to attempt hour record...without saddle
In the Masochistic Cycling Feats Dept., news has filtered
through to us that a 50 year-old Dutchman will attempt to break the
World Hour Record for riding without a saddle (or a seatpost). Maas van
Beek, a former tandem pilot of Jan Mulder, will attempt to better the
mark of 45.848 km set by none other than Fausto Coppi on the track in
Alkmaar, The Netherlands, on Saturday, October 8. He's doing it for a
good cause: to raise money for the Polar van de Donck foundation, which
helps children in Africa who have AIDS.
Van Beek has been averaging 43 km/h during training, and says
that it's quite possible to hold a position out of the saddle for three
hours, provided the muscles are used to it. He'll be using a bike with a
massive 68 x 11 gear and 205 mm cranks, but no particular aerodynamic
equipment.
