64 years. 74 inches. 160 pounds. Mother, wife, and daughter all fuss at me. "You're too skinny!" I've lost 65 pounds and kept it off for several years.

I was up to 192 pounds briefly in 1998 and down to 129 in 2008. Does that help?

Don't even own a bike, still shopping.... and waiting for the new local trail to open.

50 years old, 6'1, 270 lbs.............. lucky if I can average 13 mph on a flat 10 mile ride! :D

big john 07-16-13 02:01 PM

I'm 59, 6'2", and 205#. Saturday did a club ride of 90 miles with 7000 feet of climbing and it was hot toward the end.
Never been fast, never will be, but I have a good time on the rides.

currently 62, however, this is likely to change. 5'7" and 147lbs although these too are likely to change. I'm in no hurry to get anywhere in particular. Honest!

You have mad skills on a descent! I could not descend a twisty road like you do.

6", 60yo, & currently 216. With a 46" chest and 26" pit to pit all aero efforts and slammed stems are pretty much a waste of time with me, I'm like a sail in the wind at 20mph & burn watts like crazy, at 30mph I suspect I would rotate and start flying. I am a terror in spin class though.

I don't think that stat matters for the numbers/stats in this thread... ;)

That is a totally impressive weight loss.

Wogster 07-16-13 02:25 PM

I'm 52, 170cm and around 100kg... Average speed around 16km/h, but then it's hilly around here....

Hey Dudelsack,

My youngest son just moved to western Kentucky. For now, somewhere around Mayfield I think... He defected from Texas for some girl...go figure ;) Probably be a good thing for him.

Anyway, assuming you're in Kentucky?

I'll send you a PM when I visit and then we can see who is lying! Or compare lies, even better yet ;) I bet the hills will kick my butt if I can find a way to ride when I visit. We just have heat, wind and humidity where I ride, no hills.

Ideally, one could put these numbers in his/her profile, to help others interpret postings.

That's what I was thinking

Cyclist0094 07-16-13 02:53 PM

57, 6'2, 182#. I no longer keep up with my averages( they weren't all that impressive when I did). These days I'm content just to doddle along thinking happy thoughts.
