‘You get into a flow state’ – British 100-mile road bike record set by Dane

“In the grand scheme of things, it’s only three and a half hours…so yeah, it was actually all right.”

Casper von Folsach, who this week rode his road bike into the record books, with what is believed to be the fastest 100-mile effort ever recorded on a non-time trial bike, isn’t one to blow his own trumpet too loudly. So we’ll have to do it for him.

Von Folsach. a 33-year-old road and track cyclist, rode for UCI Continental teams including ColoQuick and Giant–Castelli during his professional career. He also competed at the 2012 Olympics for Denmark in the men’s team pursuit, and is now a performance coach for Uno-X Mobility.
