Is a clydesdale considered....
 

...to be a cyclist who is the right weight for his or her height, or a cyclist who is both the right weight for his or her height & over weight regardless of height?

If a clydesdale is a both I am right there with you at 5' 11", 290 pounds. So what do I get for being part of the "club"

Over 200, regardless of height is a Clyde

What do you get?

Why the honor if associating with the Classiest riders ever to grace a bike!:p ;)

Welcome to the Clydesdales, N_C

By the way, we don't eat our young like some of the subforums!:D

I am 6'4" and 199 this morning (down from a starting weight of 268).

It was nice knowing you guys ;)

Oh ho! Congrats, Mr Munky, aka a Clyde Emeritus!:D

The last time I was under two c notes I was a rail thin teen. I'll be happy when I get down to 225 again.

N_C, be clyde.......... be proud!!! JB

The separation has more to do with racing then anything, as a larger rider can put some undue force on a smaller rider. A 145# espoirs does not want to get into a shoulder rubbing contest with a 270# clydsdale at speed. Since you ride a 'bent, rubbing shoulders is moot.

At present, Im 205, and will prolly get to about 185 by springtime. But at 185, I'm only 2 weeks, a case of beer, and a dozen tainted doughnuts from 200 so I will always be a Clyde regardless of weight. After all, they call me Da-HOSS!

Beat it, Beanpole!

j/k. Congratulations. I shall never see the left side of 200 pounds, what is it like over there?

Welcome!

As part of 'The Club', you might just get a Clyde jersey. I think someone here is designing one.
