Jusiruma cycling - Sidney's world record
Some nice feedback
Comment from an onlooker
You're the fastest over-eighty on the planet.
It was a genuine pleasure
and privilege to be able to witness your tremendous and historic feat on
Friday night. What a fantastic evening! Along with the awe-inspiring venue, the music, the commentary, and the vocal support of your
family and friends (and complete strangers) the thing that sticks with me most
is the astonishing consistency of your ride. From almost the first lap to the
last, you maintained a pace, a world-record pace, and kept it going. That is a
truly skilful performance. May I place on record now my
great respect and very best wishes. And I hope you are enjoying a thoroughly
deserved restful weekend. Congratulations!

My heartiest congratulations and
enormous admiration for what you did last Friday. It was magnificent. Joan,
Liam and I were noting how you kept absolutely still above the waist, not a movement.
You sat up with hands on the top bars for one or two laps in the middle, to
ease your back I presume, and then got back into the crouch. You didn't move your
head an inch left or right but I think I could see a smile on your face at
times as you came past. We weren't given individual lap times, only an over-all
average, but I think you did the first two or three laps at 29km pace and then
settled into 28.4km unchanged for the rest of the 114 laps. Absolutely perfect technique, congratulations and best wishes.
