Who is the most 'TYPICAL' club cyclist?

Postby huw williams » Mon Nov 12, 2007 4:42 pm

Cycling Weekly wants to make an ACC member famous.

Borrowing an idea from a recent survey conducted in a national newspaper, Cycling Weekly has comissioned a poll accross a wide range of its readership in an attempt to find the most typical cyclist.

Questions are things like; how tall are you, how heavy are you, male/female, age, number of hours per week you ride, how many races you've done, best 10 tt time etc etc

With a membership the size of ours we're bound to have somebody pretty close if not bang on the money to being MR (or MRS) average - and we want to run a feature on that person in the magazine with pictures.

So watch this space and I'll post the criteria in the next day or so.

Who knows you could be famous for being 'ordinary'

Cheers

I'd suggest that they're faster than average

And Andrew Green is too short

Nothing personal - just the facts

I suspect you're right in that I'll come in as lighter than average - there'll be several heavier, quite a few too short or tall, only a very few the wrong sex and many either too fast or too slow :D

Easily 45ish, how many guys in ACC are younger than 40 other than the obvious candidates...??

I'll go for 170cm average height

And 80kg for weight.

Male

And bordering on midlife crisis :wink:
