It's great that he was active well past 100 and it seems he enjoyed life.

Pretty impressive that he was able to improve his performances between ages 101 and 103. Heck, I'm only in my 60s and getting slower every year while working harder to stay fit.

MoAlpha , thanks for posting this. I find the 14 miles in an hour, at the age of 106, to be be really impressive. I state his mileage numbers as an elderly person, to others quite often. My Mom was still doing aqua aerobics until she was 86. That is when she voluntarily surrendered her drivers license. I would like to still be pedaling when I am 80, only 11 years.
