what is the average age of members here?
« on: October 07, 2008, 10:24:42 AM »
I was just wondering how many more riders are in here that are older than 50 (like me!)

Is there an age/membership breakdown somewhere on the site?

    Hey Greg, don't know of any kind of a breakdown on that suject, but I think there are several of us in that category. In fact, you might be surprised just HOW many of US there are. ;)

My average age changes every year.  But, the numbers never seem to get smaller.  ???

This might give you a fairly good idea.
