Robert
Marchand, an amateur cyclist who claims to have clocked tens of thousands of
kilometres in the saddle, finished the distance in 4 hours, 17 minutes and 27
seconds.
"I
did a little better than I hoped," he said. "However the going was
tough in the last few kilometres."
Marchand,
who has lived in Canada and Venezuela and whose professional life has included
stints as a market gardener, shoe salesman and wine dealer, said he only took
to cycling when he bought his first bike in 1978.
His bid
for the centenarian record was certified by the French national cycling
federation.
