I’m attempting the 100k WR this Sunday!
It will take place on a ~910 m road loop. I will have to do 110 laps: a first of 873.22m followed by 109 laps of 909.42m.
Starting at 9:00 AM (Paris time / UTC+2), on May 18th.
Live lap tracking will be available here:
I will try to do better than @Aurelien and @redwelly
I set myself this challenge because I thought I was capable of doing 100km at over 30kph, now I have to do it!

Good luck! An average of 30mph would be an amazing achievement and I’m sure you can do it! Enjoy!

Best of luck! I really hope you achieve your goals! 
This just boggles my mind on so many levels. The speed is just ridiculous. You are going to complete a 100 in less that 3.5 hours. Surely you have to take a stretching break at some point? Or are you actually planning to grind through in one session?
And what is your gear? A G36? This is just in such a different league to anything I can relate to that I am completely stumped here

Yeah I did it! The official time (to submit) is 3 hours, 6 minutes, 29 seconds.
I had ideal weather conditions; it was hard to imagine such conditions.
The wind picked up for the last 20 kilometers, and I caught a few gusts that scared me a little, given my advanced state of fatigue. But I was able to cross the finish line without having to put my foot down, without even having left the aerobars for the entire race.
I’ll give you more details when I have photos and videos to share. I can already tell you that my unicycle frame is a Flansberrium V-frame
and my pedals are Magped Road1 (magnetic).
There’s a difference of more than 2 km between the GPS data and the official track measurement. It’s frustrating!

Congratulations, very impressive effort!
I would say better to have the GPS say a bit more distance than to get people questioning because the GPS reads less…

Congratulations! 
As someone who usually cruises at half that speed for a sixth of that time, I‘m thoroughly impressed.
What‘s next? 24h?

There is a little gap between 30kph and 30mph. I should perhaps have written 30km/h to avoid any confusion.
Today my average speed was 20mph (32.18km/h).

Fantastic ride. I was up last night watching your laps

When I did my attempt, I counted every lap in my head (every 6 laps, which was around 5 minutes), I manually setted a new lap on my watch, to keep track of my speed). It was really hard to keep track of how many laps I did, but I knew at the end that I had done all 250 laps I had to do.

Wow! It would have taken too much energy to count. I was just trying to figure out if I was at the beginning, the middle, or the end
. On my watch, I only had my heart rate and distance. I also had a lap counter on the line, but I don’t know if the last lap was at 109 or 110
. And especially in the last 5 laps, I wasn’t looking at it anymore; all my attention was required to be as vigilant as possible on my effort so as not to slow down too much and not get caught in a gust of wind.
