Ellen smashed the six-hour world record.
This is her story.
The Dekra track is not next door which is why we spent most of Friday travelling to Klettwitz, not far from Dresden. On arrival at the track there was a riders meeting and the bike was inspected.

Ellen van Vugt is sneller dan alle mannen. Ze heeft het wereldrecord bij de vrouwen in de zes uur categorie verbeterd. In totaal legt ze 404,04 kilometer af, oftewel 67,3 km/h gemiddeld. Hierbij is ze als eerste de magische grens van 400Km doorbreekt. (ook bij de mannen!)
Wednesday morning we did fly out of Schiphol to Vancouver. We had to Check in the Velox and 3 pieces of heavy luggage, at the counter they had to look up what to do with the bike. But we didn’t have to pay extra.
Now it was 2 hours of waiting before the plane left. Then 10 hours of sitting in a completely booked plane. But I must say we had a really good flight. Next was the Custums in Cananda there was a long line and after 45 minutes that was done also.

We arrive at the State Road 305 in the dessert where all races will be held this week.
A piece of the SR305 is closed down for some 20 minutes to allow 5 persons to race and after this the road is opened again to allow some cars to pass.
It’s about 7.30 when Jan Bos starts and straight after the start he makes a sharp left turn and falls over. After picking up, he is restarted, but Jan mentions that there is a problem with the chain and the bike is hard to handle.
