Hood tries again:

Aurora resident George Hood is at it again. The three-time Guinness world record holder in stationary bike riding will help Fox Valley United Way raise money to support youth programs as he takes aim at another world's record. He's already in training for his next ride, scheduled for April 11 to 24 at the Healthplex, 1900 Ogden Ave., Aurora. Hood set his personal best mark of 177 hours, 45 minutes in May 2008 in Naperville. He has since lost the record to Belgium's Shirvani Merhzad, who rode for 192 hours in January.
