Veteran would cover both words.
I think AUK should avoid hierarchical terminology. We're just riding bikes over tediously long distances.
But I’ve got nothing else to boost my poor, fragile ego, particularly since I’ve been on the audax treadmill for a while now and have become correspondingly slower.

I’ve never heard it used in French though.
