When Whistler reopens for biking season or Silverstar, we should have a Geriatric Day and then rule the hill with Prune Juice, Viagra and Ben Gay!

I'm also curious how many members of this newly forming pensioner's gang are Clydesdale class (200+) meat-bags?

225-240 pounds myself... depends on the season. Yes gravity is good to me for speed...not so much for slamming!!!

I'll be going to the Edmonton convention this year in August. In April I'll probably be doing a guest spot in Victoria.

Which convention in April?

i'm 6'1", and i'm a comfortable clydesdalien. i'd suggest that we should seriously attempt to promote a geriatric division in old pinkbike, it would benefit the site. at least beginning threads with "older riders..." is a good start.

beyond bmx, you guys out there motorbikers? dirtbikers? usedtabee's? i'm about to switch from an R1 to a bmw adventure bike, and interested to hear some opinions.

on another note, i can envision some cool advil / robax swag to be designed. shondo maybe the two of us could throw together some tshirt ideas for the geriatric ward.

merry xmas fellas.
