On February 17, 2012, Frenchman Robert Marchand set a world record by cycling non-stop for one hour at the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) velodrome in Aigle, Switzerland.

He rode about 25 kilometers in an indoor track. There wasn’t a lot of competition around as he was the first-ever and the only performer in 100-years-plus category. You can say, the competition was virtually dead in his category.

Marchand spent about a week preparing for the event. After the event Merchand said that he could have rode faster but he didn’t because he is not trying to be a champion. He just wanted to celebrate his 100^th birthday.

Apparently, he still rides but likes to keep it less than 100 kilometers a day.

HAPPY 100th BIRTHDAY to Robert Marchand

Zsa Zsa Gabor, 95, can take it to 100

Zsa Zsa Gabor, 1989

Monday, February 6, 2012, was Zsa Zsa Gabor’s birthday,

She is now 95.

Despite all the health concerns that come naturally with aging, she is holding it.

I say, she can take it to 100.

After all, I remember Zsa Zsa for being the only woman (or, only person) who kicked cops in the groins. And, these were Beverly Hills Cops. Even though it was over 20 years ago, I say she has still got plenty of juice left.

So, Zsa Zsa, go for it.

Zsa Zsa Gabor 95th birthday

No stopping before 100.

HAPPY 95^th BIRTH DAY
