It was actually 26.9 average, so nearly 27 kph. A very respectable effort indeed over a one hour session.brumby33 wrote: at 26kph average speed.....he's faster than me and I'm 47 yrs his junior....that's it...one bike for sale shortly

Yes, I am committed to start training to beat his record. Figure if I knuckle down to training once I turn 80, I will have a chance.

He set the 100 year old record at 100 and improved on it at 102. Now he's set the 105 record.
One can only dream of being around at that age, let alone being able to ride a bike
