Rider’s Narrative Summary – HAM’R Month By Alan S. Johnson I’m a big fan of the WUCA Highest Annual Mileage Record (HAM’R). This year-long record is so far out there, and so hard to comprehend, that it fascinates me. And the athletes!

Ten time and distance trial record attempts were made concurrently: because only two officials were available, the record attempts were terminated after the 12-Hr attempt. WUCA Road Time/Distance Trials:  100-Km; 100-Mile; 200-Km; [...]
