Wow! That's more than I've ridden this year. Granted, the weather is a lot worse here and I have a full-time job. Still. I, too, hope to be doing that at 100.

The EADT must have interviewed him last week as they are already 100miles behind.

I'd be happy to be riding my bike at all at 100, let alone 5000miles a year.

Cheers for the link. Was great to watch. Love his responses for still cycling. "Lunacy" "If you stop you rust".

Pretty impressive to be able to ride one handed whilst stopping your baseball cap from falling off. Lightning reactions for that age and better conversational skills than I've got now!

I've never heard that before.

I tried looking it up and the closest thing I could find was https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Hulley (NSFW)
