What an oke! Don't make 'em like they used to. I love these bits:

 

... his biggest problem being his familiarity with velodrome riding. "I haven’t cycled on a track for 80 years," he said.

 

... "For the last five years I have decided not to go for rides of more than 100km. There is no point going overboard."

 

Hell, I count myself lucky if I can do a comfy ride of 100km.
