Wow, I just had to put a shout out in for Robert Marchand. Read the full article on VeloNews

The centenarian rode 24.25 km (15.1 miles) in 60 minutes watched by crowds of cheering supporters at the International Cycling Union (UCI) velodrome in Aigle, Switzerland.
The feat does not threaten the 49.7 km (30.8 miles) achieved by Czech cyclist Ondrej Sosenka in 2005 at the age of 29, but it will be recognised by the UCI in a new over-100s category.
But I’m not playing at being a champion,” he said. “I just wanted to do something for my 100th birthday.”
…
“But basically, I am like everybody,” said Marchand. “I am lucky that I haven’t had any major health problems. My advice to anyone, young or old, is to keep moving. I do ‘physical culture’ every day. It works out my whole body and keeps me supple. Some people when they reach 80 years old, start playing cards and they stay immobile. Not me. I’ve never been able to keep still.” Clearly.

What Would Jens Do? Shut Up Legs
I must be the last person in PDX to find Jens Voight’s Army. Sux being only a Cat 6 racer.
We may look vapid, but we think about stuff. And when we think, we think hard.
You have to hear the Jens “I get paid to hurt other people” Voight Soundboard.
Wait, who is Jens? WWJD
Once when Jens put the hammer down driving the peloton, some riders just dropped off the back, others had their entire existence wiped off the time-space continuum.

YOUTUBE: The Man Who Lived On His Bike
Video dedicated to his Father, from Montreal.
I love being on a bike. It helps me feel free. I get it from my dad.
After 382 days spent riding through the streets of Montreal, being sometimes quite cold, sometimes quite hot – and sometimes quite scared, I dedicate this movie to you, Yves Blanchet 🙂
