If my department hiring committee were looking for a full time

We've had this discussion before. Tommy doesn't think spelling or
grammar are of any considerable value when job hunting.

    And Flunky doesn't believe that working is part of a job.

My management disagrees with you.

Instead he thinks that he can get away with BSing us about 200 mile rides.

Never happened. You made something up, doubled down, and refused to admit you were wrong. Nope, I never wrote, insinuated, made any suggestion, posted any reference or link that would support your claim that I was capable of such a feat. If you still think I did, post a reference that you think supports your claim. It's entirely a figment of your imagination. You looked at something that you thought was a 200 mile ride on my strava profile, then saw something that said I maintained a 20 MPH average (which I've done frequently), and your imagination did the rest.

My younger brother finished half way back in the Sea Otter field Cat 4 when he was 50.

Sounds like your brother should have trained more.

Flunky tells us he races in his 60's.

yes, and?

He also tells us that he works but magically is able to answer comments within seconds after they are written.

No magic involved. It's part of being a productive engineering professional. Today I took a 90 minute lunch with my project manager and firmware engineer at a local restaurant. We all had a beer. We do this almost every friday. We talked about about technical issues on various projects, but also chatted about non-work personal experiences. Our boss has joined us on several occasions for these lunches. We can do these things because we're good at our jobs, completing tasks within timelines and budgets.
This isn't unusual, I've done the same at every job I've had since 1984. (In fact, at one job I had in the early 2000's we would go to Hooters every friday and get a pitcher). If you were competent at your jobs, you wold have enjoyed the same freedoms and perks. It's obvious you weren't.
