You are invited to my:

Guinness’ Book of World Record attempt at the Greatest Distance travelled in One Hour by Penny Farthing (male, Outdoor).

Easter Saturday 4th April, 2026 at Queanbeyan (Brad Haddin) Oval from 9am to 1pm with a 10:30-11:30am attempt time.

This will be a fun community event to see Penny Farthing History being made first hand

On Sat 1st I managed to successfully benchmark my efforts and had a Technical Knock Out on my Penny Farthing for the hour record.
On my 54” Penny I travelled 32.4km in an hour. If I scale this to the 58” size wheel I know I can fit on, I would have travelled 34.8km that day. The WR is 34.5km.
I now need a 58” Penny for the task.

Ive also been asked to travel to the UK to set the record on the same course the current record is held…this seems like an opportunity not to miss. To beach the Poms on their turf at their own game!

I need your help to make this a reality!
