    if you can sustain that speed alone, you dont need to train. 40km/h is race speed across similar distances. you shouldnt support your mate, go to the continent and support a UCI pro tour team instead

    I know.

    Will the pedaling pensioner be taking the hilly route or a flat direct route? what kind of distance are we talking about 250km?
