George Hood now has the world exercise-bike endurance record and is waiting for The Guinness Book of World Records to officially give him this title. The new record for exercise-bike endurance by Hood is 109 hours.

This is actually not the Burr Ridge, Illinois resident’s first attempt at a Guinness World record: in 1986 Hood achieved the world jump-roping endurance record. But someone else beat his record during that year, so Hood’s record did not stand. The Guinness Book of World Records is released yearly and records are updated annually.

Hood has made the attempt to beat the world record to assist with a fund-raiser for Willowbrook/Burr Ridge Kiwanis Club to benefit the Twin Lakes Camp. Hood has raised $15,000 for the organization.
