Harmon Swaps Eurosport Mike for Tandem Record Attempt

More well known for his expert commentary alongside Sean Kelly on Eurosport, David Harmon swaps the mike for his Team Wiggle tandem this weekend as he and his trusty pilot Jez Hastings attempt to set a tandem record.

Their route entails a 363 mile trip across the width of the UK, beginning in Pembroke, Wales and finishing on the East coast of England in Great Yarmouth. As many will have seen on his Twitter feed, Harmon has been fitting in training rides in between commentary this year to aid his preparation for this, the first of several record attempts.

As with all record attempts, planning and preparation are key to a successful ride. Their target time will be around 17 hours and they have an accomplished back up team via the online retailer Wiggle who have given full support to David and Jez. Team Wiggle Tandem teamed up with Bike Pure some months ago and will sport our headset spacers and wristbands for the record attempt.

We wish the guys all the best on their attempt on board their ‘Rocket 1′ machine which begins at 4am (GMT) Saturday 21st August. Please check out the route and if you can get to see the guys, they’d sure appreciate the support.
