Calling All Cyclists!

Would you like to earn your name in the Guinness World Records?!

We've recently heard from OV and Penny Farthing enthusiast, Rolf Woodward (96W) in our Spotlight series and Rolf is now about to embark on The Penny Farthing Guinness World Record Breaking Weekend Extravaganza but he needs Shiplake's help! 

 

Would you like to be a part of a unique and thrilling experience at the Penny Farthing Guinness World Records Extravaganza from October 11th to 13th at Herne Hill and the London Olympic Park?!

The main event will be our attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the largest Penny Farthing stack, aiming for 131+ riders at the London Olympic Velodrome on Sunday, October 13th.

No experience needed! If you can simply sit on a stationary bike, then you can be involved in the record, and we’ll provide training and the Penny Farthing. This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of history and earn your name in the Guinness World Records!

Join us for a fun-filled weekend of cycling camaraderie, excitement, and a chance to make history together as the largest gathering of Penny Farthing riders in London since the 1880’s!

Don’t miss out—register now and be part of something extraordinary!

For more details and to sign up, visit: Penny Farthing World Records

Let’s ride together and make this event unforgettable!
