None of them talked to me, none of them wanted to look at me. It was as if they didnt want anything to do with me and were fine with the way thier group was as is.
The club in my area has a nice website with a lot of pictures. They have a lot of events and it looks like a lot of fun for them, but I am sooo much younger then them. We shall see.
Before I got involved I only saw "old people" out riding and started to assume that there wasn't anyone my age (22/23 then) that I could ride with. I ended up hanging out with some of the old guys and riding a few times and they were some really awesome guys, after hanging out a few times I didn't even notice the age gap. It also turned out a lot of them have kids my age who show up with their friends. There's no where near as many young people as middle aged and "old" but we have a nice mix and I don't think it's ever got in the way.
