If this has been referenced before I apologise - the search function is still down so I can't easily check. However, I have a new hero.
In February this year Robert Marchand, a Frenchman, celebrated his 100th birthday by setting a new hour record for centenarians. (http://www.velonation.com/News/ID/11175/100-year-old-sets-first-ever-hour-record-mark-for-his-age-group.aspx) he covered 24.251km in the 60 minutes.
He's showing signs of age, though. Recently he cut his daily maximum distance to only 100km, saying "there's no point in going overboard".
Salut, Robert. I'm going to try to be like you when I grow up.
