“Austrian ultra-cyclist Christoph Strasser just pulverized the world record for 24 hours of road cycling. In one day, he rode 1,026.21 kilometers; that is an average speed of 42.75 kilometers per hour.”
I would have thought the bike geeks here would be all over this amazing performance.Just crazy stuff!!

637.66 miles in 24 hours for a 26.57mph average - in the rain - at 275 watts NP & 136 bpm. https://cyclingtips.com/2021/07/1026-km-austrian-ultra-cyclist-sets-new-24-hour-world-record
That’s like riding from Portland, ME to Richmond, VA in 1 day (or Portland, OR to San Francisco, CA)

I would put this record in the same order of magnitude of unbelievability as Rait’s 60 IMs in 60 days averaging under 11 hrs/IM. I mean, most trained cyclists and tri-guys can’t even hold 26.6 mph (on a flat windless course) for more than a minute or two, but he does it for 24 hours straight. Totally UNBELIEVABLE!!!
