The hour record is considered by many to be the ultimate test on two wheels. Many have attempted it, many, including our own Oliver Bridgewood have failed - sorry Ollie! But what happens if you scrap all the UCI rules and regulations and rock up to a velodrome with a derestricted e bike? Alex was up for the challenge! Can he break the hour record? (On an E Bike!)
Unfortunately Alex forgot to upload his ride to Komoot so you won’t be able to see his data from the ride!
