Hairy Posted February 4, 2014 Share Age hasn't slowed cyclist Robert Marchand. The 102-year-old Frenchman broke his own world record in the over-100s category Friday, riding 26.927 kilometers (16.7 miles) in one hour, more than 2.5 kilometers better than his previous best time in the race against the clock two years ago. By way of comparison, the current overall world record for one hour is 49.700 kilometers (30.882 miles) set by Czech Ondrej Sosenka in 2005. Marchand, a retired firefighter and logger, also holds the record for someone over the age of 100 riding 100 kilometers (62 miles). He did it in four hours, 17 minutes and 27 seconds in 2012. http://news.yahoo.co...-163403886.html Hi 100km mark is far faster than many people a quarter of his age on the Argus Blackbeard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted February 5, 2014 Share Two abreast. Wrong side of the road… I think they might be 'Muricans... which explains it... All 'Muricans ride/drive on the wrong side of the road... and all 'Muricans are allowed to do whatever they want!
