Jean-Pascal Roux, French amateur, after setting a world distance record by riding 839 km (520 miles) in 24 hours on an outdoor course. That's an average speed of 34.96 kph (21.68 mph). Post effort, Roux was overheard saying "Cooked! I am cooked! I can't even lift my leg to step off my bike." He definitely deserved the right to say he was cooked. What does he do for a recovery ride?
