the Great Knutsford Bone-shaker Race 2010...

Held only once every ten years at Knutsford Moor, near Manchester, England, the race is to see who can ride the most 1 km laps within a three hour time period...on Penny farthings. I did not realize there were so many of those big-wheeled rigs around. And once every ten years; pretty prestigious for the victor I'd say. The 2.5 minute video clip is great.
