On Tuesday April 29th, Mike Unklesbay, a 41 year old Florida endurance bicyclist set a world record for off-road miles ridden in a 24 hour period.
He battled hot, humid temperatures and fierce lightning storms, but completed the 24 hour trek through 2 high tides forcing him to ride on soft sand to reach a total of 284 miles.

Unklesbay road a prototype mountain bike designed by Xtreme Fat Tire Bikes with 100mm rims that featured a 29er wheel set with Vee Rubber Tires along with a patent pending rim and bike frame. This Bike was manufactured in Deerfield Beach Florida and will be manufactured there in the future .

The entire event was filmed throughout the 24 hour period and is being made into a documentary.
