Monsiuer Marchand is at it again...

For the second time in a week Robert Marchand, 103, has broken the hour record for 100+ in age. 102-year-old breaks hour record - for second time this week - BikeRadar (From Bikeradar's website, a darn good place and forum when you need an extra fix from here.)

Question, as Robert is 103 is he getting two 50+ memberships here if/when we get him on-board our little gang? I'll spring for one of the Ti memberships if he comes here, who's up for the other if it is required? Either this or we create a 100+ Forum with him as the Forum Steward. Someone get Tom's ruling on it.....

Bill

Quite a feat. Personally, I think he should get an honorary Ti memberships for outlasting most. I wonder what made the difference between the two rides within the same week. Could it have been what he had for breakfast?

He must have shaved his legs.

Wow! That's inspiring! I wonder what accomplishments he has on his resume from his younger days.

He's doping I'm pretty sure Centrum Silver is a banned substance

Seriously, this guy is my hero. Can't wait to see what he does next.
