Robert Marchand 100 year old French cyclist became the fastest cyclist of his age when he covered 100 km (62 miles) at an average speed of just over 23 km/h (14.3mph). I've go another 23 years to go!!

I assume you mean you have another 23 years to go until you are able to match his speed ???

Errr ... why so long ?


[please do not shame me/some of us/most of CC with any age-related stuff ]


ps He might also be one of the very few 100 year olds who can still ride 100 km !

He did it on an outdoor velodrome, so it was flat if you dont count the banking. Very impressive achievement
