100 YEAR OLD CYCLIST PEDDLES INTO THE RECORD BOOKS


He’s ridden  100 kilometers in four hours 17 minutes and 27 seconds.

Marchand covered the distance at a track in Lyon at an average pace of 23.3 km/ph,  not far off the 24.2-5-1 pace he kept to set the world hour record for his age group in Switzerland last February.

The president of Marchand’s cycling club says he’s an inspiration.
