Yeah, I've been watching the distribution. It's a good poll.

Almost 65% of the respondents are under 60.

Very interesting poll. I'm not surprised at all, it's sifting out pretty much as I would have guessed.

1/2 of a bell curve should make a statistician happy!

69 and one month. Not as cold as some, but it is unusually cold for here: 29F at the moment. I hope it warms up by 9.30, when our ride begins.

I am heartened that there are any at all.

I am disheartened that there are not even 3%.

I am blown away by the huge percentage in the 50-54 age group!!

Hey, I'm pleased! We kids finally get to sit at the grownups table!

Denver, we in the lower age tiers probably fully intend to keep at it at least into our '70s; I certainly do. You have an opportunity to set the style.

I turn 55 in June. Each year I try to do something for my birthday that I've never done before. Do any of you do something similar? I'm considering going on an overnight trip by bike this year. I do backpacking but I've never tried a bike tour.

In Oct. we did a tandem ride from San Francisco to Santa Barbara, motel and B&B camping. First bike tour we've ever done. It was a blast!

Anyone know how to stop that?

There is a way, but you don't survive it.
