Cyclist, 82, becomes first Briton to pedal one MILLION miles
Well done that man!
QUOTE: An 82-year-old man who has become the first person in the UK to cycle a million miles has declared he has a million miles yet to go before he dies. Russ Mantle has kept meticulous log books of every ride he has completed in the past 68 years, completing an average of 14,700 miles a year. The former carpenter and joiner, from Aldershot, Hampshire, completed his millionth mile to the cheers of well-wishers at the Canal Cafe at Mytchett. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...onth-mile.html |

He must have had a private income, 14700 a year at 8 mph would take 229 8 hour days per year to complete. or maybe his records are exaggerated. |

'I always bounce back as if it hadn't happened. The most serious one was probably when I was knocked unconscious for three days in Southampton hospital by a lorry that smashed my arm in two places but I have got full movement.' Makes one proud to be British :-) -- Bod |
