[Closed] Today's random mountain-biker profile question

Does anyone know where I might find the answer to this?
I need to know what proportion of mountain-bikers are
1. Male/female
2. Age group 18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64 and 65+
3. In socio-economic groups A, B, C1, C2, D, E, Other (I have no idea what other means!)
.
I have found some figures for cyclists generally but expect this will be mainly roadies and probably includes comuters too. I'm interested just in mountain bikers (and preferably competitive ones but would take any at this stage)
I could estimate 1 and 2 by using lots of race results but 3? No idea!
.
Any advice much appreciated.

You can google Singletrackworld user stats and on website says something like 30-50 year old Male office workers. Which is probably representative of riding as a whole.

Doesnt this just prove there are lots of 30-50 year old men in boring desk jobs pretending to work but actually surfing the web. I certainly fit into that catagory.

Can't see gender, but some other stuff for visitors to the 7 Stanes is in their evaluation doc here:

(See p16 onwards for user survey)

Actually I am an 83 year old female, run my own butterfly farm and ride a 1932 BSA bicycle 52.3 miles every day not for fun but just to stay alive.

And I'm her slightly older wife.

Must have been an awkward wedding speech - being the father of both brides.
