This week the Bike Show is in the presence of time trial greatness and (almost) sporting immortality. Michael Hutchinson has just written a book about his recent attempt to enter the pantheon of cycling legend by breaking the record for how far you can ride in an hour. The Hour: Sporting Immortality the Hard Way is both an informative history of the hour record itself and an entertaining, amusing and, at times, heartrending account of another chapter in the annals of epic British sporting failure.

Cool show.
I saw an extract of this book in a cycle mag and went straight to the bookshop to buy it. I’m fascinated by the Hour Record and this book gives a good insight into an attempt.
