There are often references to the mythic 18 yo bike racer. Frankly there
are not many of them. Most are slower category. From the end of this year
the age distribution of road members was:
20to24 133
25to29 264
30to34 398
35to39 466
40to44 371
45to49 266
50to54 148
55to59 74
60to64 34
65+ 24
Here are the mean ages by road category:
1 33
2 36
3 38
4 36
5 36
Overall the mean OBRA membership age is 37. 35+ is most of us.

Yes. It would be nice to have the 35+ category.
Most of the riders, who act their age, choose to ride cat 4 or 5. This is
awkward, when there are 18 yr olds competing with you.
Did you know that a big chunk of the Arctic shelf broke off today?
Anyway, Feliz Ano Nuevo.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Masters 35 Plus?
Just going to throw this totally self-interested bit out there...
VERY few races last yr had a Masters 35 plus, with most going 40 plus
Was this trend well-recieved by riders? I see that Cherry Pie (and my guess
is most of the others that follow) is going Masters 40 plus and the promoter
(who is well experienced!) assures me this is the way to go.
For ME at this point, the 35 plus races are FUN (although due to triathlon,
I personally only do a few and mainly for training) and I can actually race
as opposed to the Cat1/2 race which I just try to survive and I would assume
there are others that feel the same way...the question is ARE THERE ENOUGH
like minded 35-39s like me?
Anyone?
Thanks,
DC
