[net.bicycle] Hour Record Distances Covered

I mailed a response to a netter asking for the distance covered
in Moser's 1984 Hour Record.  I didn't save a copy of his pathname
so I have to send the correction as a posting.  I hope its of
general interest:

Moser covered 51.151 km (~30.7 miles) which eclipsed Eddy Merckx's
record of 48.46 km (~29.1 miles) set in 1973.  Both records were set in the 
Olympic Velodrome in Mexico City at ~6000 ft altitude.
