My dad is 88 and still riding, but not as much as this guy. I wonder if it's easy to set age-related records once you pass the century mark (years, not miles) since there's not much competition. I noticed one phrase in the article: "He is just five feet tall (1m52), but is in superb health." Are most people at five-foot in poor or middling health? This also brings a tech question to mind. Does he ride 700 or 650? |

“I have never deprived myself of anything: not wine, not food, not women, but always with moderation.” nice. |

Did the podium girls dope (especially the one on the right)? I think Jan is wondering too...

In my opinion, a woman's breast should not be bigger than her head...
