NAPERVILLE, Ill. (AP) - George Hood is probably more than a
little saddle sore. He's reclaiming the Guinness world record for
time spent on a stationary bicycle. Hood's time isn't official yet,
but organizers say he spent about 177 hours over eight days riding
a spinning bike at a suburban Chicago YMCA. That's the equivalent
of more than 2,000 miles. He never slept for more than 12 minutes
at a time and burned more than 46,000 calories in the process. Hood
is a retired Drug Enforcement Agency investigator and a previous
record holder. After the marathon ride ended he was taken to a
hospital as a precaution.
