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?

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.

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

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

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.
