So, initially, Josh Taylor, Ewan Dowes, Sam Taylor and Paul Verity we’re supposed to be riding from Headingley to Toulouse on May 26 to May 30th, 900 miles in 5 days in time for the kick off between Leeds Rhinos and Catalans Dragons. All of this in aid of MND following the diagnosis of Rob Burrow.Of course, due to current circumstances this got cancelled so they looked for an alternative which I will now take part in. Initially this was going to be a virtual cycle using Zwift where the original 4 would ride in their own homes 1000 miles in 5 days, on the same dates that were originally set out. Whilst putting the wheels in motion they were curious as to how it could be marketed to raise as much money as possible. Josh had another brain wave with the help of Google. As it stands, the current Guinness World Record for the longest group static cycle is held by 25 people who cycled in a spin studio for 28 hours in December 2019. Now, whilst we cannot cycle in the same room Josh figured through Zwift we could create a group of riders (minimum 25) who would be willing to ride for 29/30 hours to break the record. The Guinness world record has already been emailed to which there has been no reply yet to see whether they would accept this as verification but when it’s on Zwift and traceable I don’t see how it can’t be. Either way, even if it wasn’t we would all personally take satisfaction in completing it and knowing we had beaten the current world record, official or not!!
