Yeah but Mo, its not size that matters, it's what you do with it that counts!

When you can keep up with Stu, then you can call him 'titch' :P

[quote="A (JC) Pettachi"]Easily 45ish, how many guys in ACC are younger than 40 other than the obvious candidates...??



Adam, the obvious candidates being those that are below 40 I presume. :roll:

Anyhow, I am probably too tall, too young, too good looking and have too many children.

I reckon the average height will be 6ft. I am 6ft 5ins so am hoping to bring up the average.

Cheers

Marek....

[quote="huw williams"]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

I doubt the average club cyclist has the faintest idea what functional threshold means, let alone what his is :? .

He possesses 2.8 bikes though.
