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! I mean, who are these amazing people and what motivates them to do something so incredibly difficult? I love to read about them. But that’s it. It’s certainly not anything I could ever do myself.
