scroll down to "US man records 'record' stationary ride"
Come back Sahan, all is forgiven. Years ago, a then-RBR regular
claimed that a 7 hour trainer ride would be tolerable if you just
watched enough Tour videos. After all, we've all ridden seven hours
on the road, yes?

He was roundly mocked. But now cyclingnews reports,
49 year old George Hood spent 85 hours on a stationary bike ...
Hood was allowed a five minute break every for every hour of riding,
and took a few naps during his record ride, but was still dangerously
fatigued at the end of his ride ... During his ride, Hood, a Drug
Enforcement Adminstration supervisor, averaged 20.5 km/h and
covered more than 1,600 kilometers [to raise $25k for charity]
All I can say is we owe Sahan an apology, and I hope George
Hood had a dip into the DEA evidence locker before doing
something this consciousness-altering.
Trainah Hatah,
Ben

Yeah, but in 2000, rbr was different; everybody did 7 hour rides
in between 7 hour posting sessions.
<Kunich >
That was before the Philly gang ruined rbr forever.
</Kunich >
Disturbingly, I can see at least 5 people in that thread who are still
active. I guess there reallly isn't any other place that will tolerate
us.
Anyway, 7 hour road rides are nothing special. We all did that
while training for the rbr FRAAM team (didn't you get the memo?)
But how many rbr regulars have done 7 hour track rides?
not me,
Ben

There have been reports of a gorilla riding round and round a track on a
unicycle grunting something about proving those rbr
flat-earth-faster-corner types wrong.

I like Sahan's assertion that most rbr regulars have done 7+ hour
rides. I doubt it's more than 20%.

Let's at least hope he had some lidocaine injected into his buttocks.
I can't imagine the pain of 85 hours in the saddle, much less a Lemond
spin bike... at least he had the internet to keep him company:
http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/01/14/stationary.bike.ap/index.html
He was probably reading r.b.r, don't you think?

Just about had time for the two guns thread.

He is a DEA agent. By definition one tough cookie. He found a novel way of
raising money.
Maybe he should bust some dealers of PEDs to cyclists. Do you know of any
names that I can send to him ? I am a DEA colleague of his.

We suspect no one more than Lafferty. No clean person could possibly be
as offended by imaginary illegal doping as he is. I'm not sure what
he's on but he's obviously on something.

In that case they should add a few hours onto his record.
