I'm 44. I have noticed that there seems to be a lot of people in the 35 - 45 age group where I ride. I would think that just the nature of this sport would draw a lot more younger participants than people of my age group. That's not to say that there are no young people, there are, and older too. I rode with a guy last year that was 68. It just seems that the majority of riders falls in the 35 - 45 age group.

Just turned 35 this week and I've realized that I'm no longer
"young" anymore. I was 28 in my head for the past 5 years! :) There aren't many 35 yr old women around here riding bikes in the dirt, that's for sure.

Hey, look at that- my 300th post :) (yes, I know it pales in comparison to most everyone here)

3rd rock from the sun.....
'K "old fart" - I think I gotcha', saw the Beatles in the Cavern before they even hit the US (wonder how many have never even heard of the Beatles ? ? :o: )

54 - still crazy after all these years - wish I'd learned about MTB before I was in my late 40's :angry:

42 and still charging!

Just gettin ready to step up to my first full-on DH rig. I thought I was the oldest guy riding till I rode Whistler last year and saw riders older than me...totally ripping it. Inspiration in its purest sense.
