The British cyclist Joss Lowden recently broke the world record for one of the most revered events in cycling - "The Hour". Simply put, the event requires the cyclist to cover the greatest distance possible in 60 minutes exactly (in other words, ride as fast as possible for a full hour). The Hour is considered one of the most intense and painful events in the sport - not only for its intensity and duration, but also for the fact that it must be done solo.

Lowden covered a distance of 48.405km at the Grenchen velodrome in Switzerland - for those of us not metrically inclined, mere decimals below 30 mph.
