Proposed 24 Hour Track Record Attempt Feilding Velodrome
Mr Peter Eade who lives in Hollywood, California, wishes to set a 24 hour record distance in the 76 years plus category, under the auspices of “UMCA” The Ultra Marathon Cycle Association of America.
He proposes to make this attempt on Easter Saturday, 20th April, 2019.
Peter is looking for assistants to help as officials for his record attempt. If you can give any time for an hour, upwards, this would be totally appreciated. Please reply to this post if you are available
