Welcome to Ride George Ride
George makes News in hometown.
Rider's Goal 132 hours and $50,000
Read the first Press Release about George's upcoming event.
Nick chats with ironman George Hood
at the beginning of his quest to once again break a world record for stationary bike riding.
This is the online resource that will now feature news, highlights and information about George’s upcoming Guinness World Record attempt and ultra
spin cycling marathon on behalf of the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign. The site also has background information regarding George’s previous Guinness World
Record setting event July 10-14, 2007 in Burr Ridge, IL which resulted in George setting the previous GWR at 111 hours, 11 minutes and 11 seconds.
To update everyone, George was recently notified by GWR in London, England that just two weeks after setting a new GWR in July, an individual from
Tasmania set an unofficial GWR of 132 hours, which was only recently certified by GWR. George has now partnered with the
Heritage YMCA Group, which has
facilities and provides services in the towns of Naperville, Aurora and Oswego, to raise money for the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign. In doing so, George
hopes to draw awareness to the countless kids and families who need, and ultimately will benefit from the many donations and resultant programs
associated with the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign. In conjunction with this charity fundraising event, George will re-attempt the Guinness World Record for
the Static “Spin” Cycling Marathon. George’s goal will be to far exceed the current mark of 132 hours. George assures all friends and supporters that
his ultra Guinness World Record setting event will be done with the same passion and inspiration that touched so many lives and helped so many folks
during the previous attempts, all of which started with George’s first attempt in January, 2007 on behalf of the Illinois Concerns of Police Survivors
(COPS). We encourage the City of Naperville and the surrounding communities, all kids, families and friends to support the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign and
help George and the YMCA keep this record in the USA!
George’s “Y” Spin for Kids will start at 9:00 PM Sunday, May 4. George is projected to finish by 9AM on Sunday, May 11. Stay tuned for
another exciting event!
