Lurkers - out of the closet

There are so many older riders on the Cedar River Trail during the day in Renton, WA = some of them HAVE to be lurkers in this Forum. (and probably Boeing retirees)

I COMMAND YOU TO OUT YOURSELF
Then let's go for a ride.

Any other obvious locations out there to recruit new members?

On my commute home last night I saw lots of folks out on the American River Bike Trail (Sacramento, CA). I figure partly it's due to the nicer weather, partly due to the beginning of May Is Bike Month (and the various pledges and challenges that go along with that). Where was everyone in December and January when it was cold, dark and rainy (for California at least)?

Not a lurker, but I thought I'd mention I was born and raised in Renton (RHS class of 77), and I never got a chance to ride that particular path. I did accumulate quite a few miles on the Sammamish River and Burk Gilman paths before I moved to Tucson.

I see so many middle age and senior riders here in Tucson, if 10% posted here, we'd have to have a Tucson riders only forum
