LYON, France (AP) - French cyclist Robert Marchand has ridden 100
kilometers (62 miles) in 4 hours, 17 minutes and 27 seconds.

It's not the first record that he's broken:

I'm impressed (and jealous).

Well, the dude could probably take the world record or title in the
over-100 category for every event *-- pursuit, madison, RR, time
trial, etc., etc. *Team pursuit or TT might be hard -- digging up
enough over-100 riders to fill out the team. There is no doubt that he
is a genetic freak considering that less than one percent of the total
population lives to 100.

Well in comparison here's one of our local "juniors"dudes. Now a
youthful 80.

He had a rough go of it this summer, cracking his pelvis in an
"unearned" crash in a club ride.
Just an unseen wayward rock on the road.
