It's part of CN's feature on Robin Morton. Karl Maxon was the "local hero" in Eugene, Oregon, where I grew up. IIRC, he held the record for the longest solo break at the Giro for a number of years, and went on to win a variety of other things.

Cool, I like to try crazy stuff like that sometimes.

Believe it or not, I've got a large chunk of that on video somewhere. I'm hoping to find it here going through my stuff. The quality is low, but if I can find it, I'll put it on YT.

Some of his course TT records stood for a long time in the Pacific Northwest.
