OFFICIAL EVENT NOTICES

At 5:51 am, May 12, 2008, George Hood broke through the previous World Record of 175 hours 50 minutes in a stationary bike.  The moment was marked by the Guinness Adjudicator presenting a record certificate to George while he was surrounded by a room full of friends, volunteers and news media.  George continued to ride to establish a new world record. 

Guinness has now certified George's record at 177 hours 45 minutes.  The record DID make it in to the record book that has recently been published.
